Mourning Dove was by family folklore at least part Native American. She was said to be as beautiful a woman as ever walked and intelligent. There wasn't anything she didn't know how to do. She could weave a basket so tight as to carry water in and not a drop would leak out. She could prepare the deer meat to eat. She was a slender woman, her black hair hung to her waist. She was always smiling, even in her eyes. She and Solomon loved each other very much.
===
Solomon and Mourning Dove's first child, Johanna Baker, born 1804 married Squire Hurst born 1790, had her first child she named him Marshall Calloway Hurst (born 1826).
===
All of Solomon Baker and Mourning Dove's children moved away from the mountains of Ky. with the exception of Johanna-who married Squire Hurst, and her brother John who taught school.

This is a quote from Lurinda Robbins Thompson, granddaughter of Mourning Dove. Lurinda Robbins Thompson was born 1893 and died 1991. Her mother was Martha Wilson Robbins. Her mother was Mary Hurst Wilson Cook. Her mother was Johanna Baker Hurst and her mother was Mourning Dove.
