Person:Rebecca Pabodie (1)

Another desendant is Frank Nelson Doubleday (1819-1893), alleged originator of baseball and Union general in the U.S. Civil War; b. Saratoga co., N.Y. A friend, A.G. Mills, heading a commission (1907), reported that Doubleday invented (1839) the game at Cooperstown, N.Y. The report has been generally discredited and it is now known that a children's game similar to baseball had existed long before Doubleday's time.
