J.W. Hensley.
Mr. Hensley is a native son of the Blue Grass state of Kentucky, born on the 7th of December, 1829, and he is a representative of one of Delaware county's earliest and most honored pioneer families. He is a son of William and Sarah (Peterson) Hensley, natives respectively of Kentucky and North Carolina. William was a son of James and Sally (Icenangoe) Hensley, the former of whom served throughout the period of the Revolutionary war and also assisted Daniel Boone and others in ridding the country of the hostile red men and opening up the country for civilization. He carved out a farm from the wilderness, and in 1830 moved with his family to Rush county, Indiana, where he improved a good farm and , again assisted in opening a frontier country for future development. The family underwent all the hardships and difficulties of life on the frontier, and after living and laboring there for many years this honored pioneer couple came to Delaware county and settled in Mt. Pleasant township, whence they were called to their final rest. Mr. Hensley became widely known in his community, and commanded the confidence and highest esteem of all who had the pleasure of his acquaintance. His political support was given to the Democratic party, and he was a consistent and worthy member of the Primitive Baptist church. In his family were the following children: William, the father of our subject; John, James, Harrison, Aquilla, Sally, and Nancy, the last named the wife of Lorenzo Dow.

76358 !NOTES:I (Marty Grant) don't know how or if I'm related to James Baker, but he could easily be related to my ancestor Jacob Baker (1760/65) who also lived in Ashe County.

James Baker was born ca 1775/80 (per census analysis). I don't know where he was born.

I don't know who James' parents were. There were several Bakers in the area who could be his father. James Baker Sr (who was in Wilkes in 1790 but moved to Jefferson Co, TN afterwards) has a proven son named James, but I don't know if it is this one. Morris Baker was old enough to be this James' father, but I don't know if he is. (I've seen other researchers list him as Morris's son, but I have no idea what proof they used.)

James Baker would probably have been home with his parents for the 1790 census and listed in the "under 16" age group (born ca 1774/90). There were ten Baker households in Wilkes County that year, and all but one of them had at least one apparent son this age, so that doesn't help to narrow down the list of possible parents.

On 8 July 1798, James Baker, Anny Baker and Zachariah Baker witnessed a deed from William Savage to Henry Hardin for land on Cranberry Creek. Anny could be his wife or Zachariah's wife or possibly a sister of theirs. (Wilkes Co, NC Deed Book D page 485 from Wilkes County, North Carolina Deed Books D, F-1 & G-H 1795-1815 by Mrs. W. O. Absher.). (Note: This book can be purchased from Amazon.com)

In 1799, Ashe County was formed from the north western portion of Wilkes County, including the area were most of the Wilkes County Bakers lived.

For the 1800 census, James Baker was listed in Ashe County along with several other Bakers. Unfortunately this census was alphabetical, so I can't tell who his neighbors were, nor where he was living. This record shows him with an apparent wife born and two young children. He probably married in the 1790's in Wilkes, now Ashe County. I don't know his wife's name, but census analysis shows she was born ca 1775/80. Other researchers show her as Ann Cox, but I don't know what the proof is for her name;

James is probably still in Ashe County for the 1810 census, but unfortunately the census taker only used initials, so there are three men named "J. Baker" listed, but I think I've identified the right one for James. There is certainly room for error though. He was listed next to A. Dyer and D. Griffith, and just three houses from W. Evans (William Evans).

James Baker was listed on the 1815 Ashe County Tax list in Captain Weaver's District on "South Fork" (also listed in that district was Thomas Baker, Morris Baker, John Baker, Elijah Baker and Zechariah Baker, with Zechariah also on South Fork.)

James Baker was listed on the 1820 census in Ashe Co, NC. There were quite a few Baker families in Ashe County, NC. Unfortunately, the 1820 Ashe County census was alphabetical, so we can't determine where anyone lived, nor who their neighbors were.

James Baker was still in Ashe Co, NC for the 1830 census. Fortunately, this one was in the original order, so we can determine (more or less) where each person lived and who their neighbors were. James was listed three houses from Morris Baker (1780/90) and two houses from Zechariah Baker (1770/80).

James was still in Ashe for the 1840 census. His wife this year was listed in a younger age group from before, so it is possible that his wife had died and this was a new wife, or it was the same wife and her age was just off which is a common census problem. They were not listed near any other Bakers.

I was unable to find James Baker on the 1850 census in Ashe County. He probably died in the 1840's or else moved away. 		Baker, James (I99194)
 
76359 !NOTES:I (Marty Grant) don't know how or if I'm related to James Baker, but he could easily be related to my ancestor Jacob Baker (1760/65) who also lived in Ashe County.

James Baker was born ca 1794/1800 (per census analysis). I don't know where he was born, though probably in what is now Ashe County, North Carolina (which was part of Wilkes County until 1799).

I don't know who James' parents were. There were several Bakers in the area who could be his father. James Baker (1775/80) had an apparent son this age. Morris Baker (bef 1755), Zachariah Baker (1775/80), and Thomas Baker (1760/65) also had at least one apparent son James' age (per 1800 and 1810 census records). Any of them (or none of them) could be his dad. I have no evidence to narrow it down yet except that he was living very near to Thomas Baker in 1830. That makes him the prime candidate to be his father.

James Baker would probably have been home with his parents for the 1800 census and listed in the "under 10" age group (born ca 1790/1800). The Baker's I mentioned above as possible parents, each had an apparent son that age in 1800.

James would probably have been home with his parents in 1810 probably in the age 10-15 age group (born ca 1794/1800). James Baker (1775/80) had an apparent son that age, as did Zachariah Baker (1775/80) and Morris Baker (bef 1755) as did an unidentified "J. Baker" who might be John Baker (1783). I don't think he was old enough to be James' father, but could be an older brother instead. (Thomas, whom I suspect is his father was listed in Wilkes County in 1810 and did not have any sons that age with him).

James Baker did not appear to be listed on the 1815 Ashe County Tax list, so he probably did not own any land yet.

James Baker married someone between 1810 and 1820, presumably in Ashe County (no marriage record found). I don't know his wife's name, but she was also born ca 1794/1800.

James Baker was listed on the 1820 census in Ashe Co, NC. There were quite a few Baker families in Ashe County, NC. Unfortunately, the 1820 Ashe County census was alphabetical, so we can't determine where anyone lived, nor who their neighbors were. He was listed as James "Jr" but that does not mean he is a son of James Sr, only that both were of legal age and had the same name and needed to be distinguished in someway. "Sr" and "Jr was the common way to do it.

!CENSUS:1820 Ashe Co, NC pg 4 James Baker Jr 300100-00100

Around 1828 another James Baker (1800/10) came of age and of course it is possible to mix up any records pertaining to them. The younger one used "Jr" on at least one record that I've found, which means that both were listed as "Jr" at various times.

James Baker was still in Ashe Co, NC for the 1830 census. Fortunately, this one was in the original order, so we can determine (more or less) where each person lived and who their neighbors were. Thomas Baker (1760/65) was close by, perhaps his father, or at least an Uncle.

I was unable to find James Baker on the 1840 census. He may have died in the 1830's or moved away. The younger James was not listed either, though the elder James Baker (1775/80) was still there.
Children

James Baker had lots of children per the 1820 and 1830 census records. I have not identified any of them yet. I would assume that all of them migrated away in the 1830's with their parents. 		Baker, James (I99381)

There are probably records for James Baker in Rowan and Surry County that may be illuminating. I have some of his Wilkes County records. There may be more in Ashe County waiting to be found. I'm sure I do not have all of the applicable records for James Baker, but I'll get them as time permits.

James Baker was born ca 1758 or before (perhaps much before). I base this on the first record that I have for him so far dated 1779 where he was named to be a juror. He had to be at least 21 already to be a juror, so born ca 1758 or before. I've seen other researchers list his birth in the 1720's or thereabout, but I have no idea what they base that on. I don't know where he was born.

I don't know who James Baker's parents were. You'll find contradictory parents listed for him in various places on the Internet, but never with any proof attached, so I won't mention any of those names here.

I don't have any early records on James Baker yet. The first one I've found so far is dated 1779 putting him into the Ashe County, NC area at that time.

James married Mary --- at some point in time, but I don't know when or where, nor if she was his only wife, but she was his wife at the time of his death (1801) as named in his Will. I have no idea what her maiden name might have been.

Surry County was formed from Rowan County in 1771 and this included the area where James Baker lived.

Wilkes County was formed in 1777 from Surry County and included the area where James Baker lived.

The first record I've found for James in Wilkes County is a Court record dated 5 Mar 1779 where James Baker and others were ordered to attend the next court as jurors. (Wilkes Co, NC Court Minutes from Wilkes County, North Carolina Court Minutes 1778-1788 Volumes 1 & 11 by Mrs. W. O. Absher.) (Note: This book can be purchased from Amazon.com)

On 7 Dec 1780 James Baker was listed as a juror in Wilkes County Court. (Wilkes Co, NC Court Minutes from Wilkes County, North Carolina Court Minutes 1778-1788 Volumes 1 & 11 by Mrs. W. O. Absher.)

On 5 Dec 1781, James Baker proved the Last Will and Testament of Hugh Smith, Deceased. He was listed as the Executor. (Wilkes Co, NC Court Minutes from Wilkes County, North Carolina Court Minutes 1778-1788 Volumes 1 & 11 by Mrs. W. O. Absher.)

On 4 Jun 1782 an Inventory of the Estate of Hugh Smith, deceased, was proven by James Baker, Executor. (Wilkes Co, NC Court Minutes from Wilkes County, North Carolina Court Minutes 1778-1788 Volumes 1 & 11 by Mrs. W. O. Absher.)

On 23 Oct 1782 Morris Baker received a 91 acre State Land Grant on North Side South Fork New River, bordering James Baker and Andrew Baker. This deed shows that James, Morris and Andrew were probably closely related, perhaps all brothers. (Wilkes Co, NC Deed Book A-1 page 322 from Wilkes County, North Carolina Deed Books A-1, B-1, C-1 1778-1803 by Mrs. W. O. Absher.) (Note: This book can be purchased from Amazon.com)

On 29 Sep 1784 George Morris sold 300 acres to James Baker, on the South side South Fork New River, bordering Charles Rowland. Witnessed by James Bunyard and Robert Nall.

On 23 Oct 1784, James Baker received a State Land grant of 100 acres on east side of South Fork of New River bordering Morris Baker. (Wilkes Co, NC Deed Book A-1 page 359 from Wilkes County, North Carolina Deed Books A-1, B-1, C-1 1778-1803 by Mrs. W. O. Absher.)

On 25 Apr 1785 James Baker was named overseer of the road in room of (in place of) John Read who resigned. The road was not described, but it was probably near his home. (Wilkes Co, NC Court Minutes from Wilkes County, North Carolina Court Minutes 1778-1788 Volumes 1 & 11 by Mrs. W. O. Absher.)

On 22 Sep 1785 James Baker received a State Land Grant of 320 acres on Buffalow Creek. (Wilkes Co, NC Deed Book B-1 page 18 from Wilkes County, North Carolina Deed Books A-1, B-1, C-1 1778-1803 by Mrs. W. O. Absher.)

On 24 Jan 1786 it was ordered that several men including James Baker act as a road jury for a road from John Sheppards to foot of Mountain at head of Reddies River. All of these men presumably were neighbors and lived in that area: William Nall, Morris Baker, James Baker, Martin Adams, John Read, Jesse Ray, John Robins, William Vias, James Sheppard, Barnet Owen, David Owen, Francis Vannoy, Martin Gambill, John Tyre, Nathaniel Vannoy and Robert Sheppard. (Wilkes Co, NC Court Minutes from Wilkes County, North Carolina Court Minutes 1778-1788 Volumes 1 & 11 by Mrs. W. O. Absher.)

James Baker was listed on the 1787 State Census in Wilkes County. He was listed in Captain Nall's District. His probable brother Morris Baker was also listed in that district.

On 23 Jan 1787 a road crew was named for the road from James Bakers on New River to Franklins Road: Martin Gambill, David Richardson, William Richardson, Cannaday Richardson, James Williamson, John Fips, Moses Toliver, Jesse Toliver, Zachariah Wells, Ephraim Osborn, David Smith, Alexander Smith, Alexander Johnson, William Scott, William Collens and Morris Baker. (Wilkes Co, NC Court Minutes from Wilkes County, North Carolina Court Minutes 1778-1788 Volumes 1 & 11 by Mrs. W. O. Absher.)

On 29 Apr 1788 the Wilkes County Court ordered a road jury be named to view the road a new road through Thomas Dicksons on New River instead of present road. These men were probably all neighbors and some probably related to each other: David Smith, John Boyd, Leven Cole, John Anderson, Alexander Johnson, Ambrous Collens, James Sparks, Andrew Baker, James Baker, William Scott, John Parmely, Ephraim Parmely, Alexander Smith, George Baker, James Bunyard and John Read. (Wilkes Co, NC Court Minutes from Wilkes County, North Carolina Court Minutes 1778-1788 Volumes 1 & 11 by Mrs. W. O. Absher.)

On 17 Mar 1788 James Baker sold Christian Shearer 320 acres on a Branch, including his improvement into Buffalow Creek, Rich side of Negro Mountain and Naked Creek.

James Baker was listed on the 1790 census in Wilkes County. He was listed next door to Morris Baker (brother?). They were in the 16th Company, which is presumably that part of Wilkes which later became Ashe County.

On 28 Jul 1790 a road jury was made to view the road from Bear Creek up a ridge along the ridge to the Waggon Road: James Bunyard, James Baker, Morris Baker, Peter Eller, Fredrick Black, John Fouts, John Sheets, David Smith, Thomas Dixon, Alexander Smith, William Sturdie, Owen Williams, Christian Shearer, Henry Michael and Bob Gardner. (Wilkes Co, NC Court Minutes from Wilkes County, North Carolina Court Minutes 1789-1797 Volumes III & IV by Mrs. W. O. Absher.)

On 25 Oct 1790, James Baker was listed as a member of a Grand Jury in Wilkes County. (Wilkes Co, NC Court Minutes from Wilkes County, North Carolina Court Minutes 1789-1797 Volumes III & IV by Mrs. W. O. Absher.)

James appeared on several juries and road juries in the early 1790's in Wilkes County.

On 3 May 1793 James Baker and others were ordered to view the road from Bar Creek to the Virginia line to be in direct course to cross Iron Mountain at Head of Fox Creek. (Wilkes Co, NC Court Minutes from Wilkes County, North Carolina Court Minutes 1789-1797 Volumes III & IV by Mrs. W. O. Absher.)

On 4 May 1796 James Baker was appointed Constable for 1796. Alexander Smith, Esquire gave Security. (Wilkes Co, NC Court Minutes from Wilkes County, North Carolina Court Minutes 1789-1797 Volumes III & IV by Mrs. W. O. Absher.)

Sometime before April 1797, James Baker moved his family to nearby Jefferson County, Tennessee. On 28 Apr 1797, James Baker of "Jafason" County, Tennessee sold 300 acres to John Koons, being on south side of South Fork New River, Charles Rowlands line. Witnessed by Martin Gambill and Morris James. This seems to be the same land he bought in 1784 from George Morris. (Wilkes Co, NC Deed Book D page 148 from Wilkes County, North Carolina Deed Books D, F-1 & G-H 1795-1815 by Mrs. W. O. Absher.) (Note: This book can be purchased from Amazon.com)

James Baker, Anny Baker and Zachariah Baker witnessed a deed on 8 Jul 1798, but I'm pretty sure that is a younger James Baker, and not this one. (Wilkes Co, NC Deed Book D page 485 from Wilkes County, North Carolina Deed Books D, F-1 & G-H 1795-1815 by Mrs. W. O. Absher.)

In 1799, Ashe County was formed from the north western portion of Wilkes County, including the area were most of the Wilkes County Bakers lived.

For the 1800 census, James Baker was not found. He was probably in Jefferson County, Tennessee and unfortunately the 1800 census is lost for Tennessee.

According to Gale Wallen, James Baker made his Will on 11 Mar 1801 in Jefferson County, Tennessee. She shared this:
Jefferson Co TN Will Book 1:24 I, James Baker of Jefferson Co, Tenn. wife Mary my six sons: William, Morriss, John, Robert, James and Larkin my two daus: Nancy and Mary All an equal share of all my estate what shall be left at the marriage or death of their mother, Mary Baker, Executrix, Son William Baker and Friend Richard Bailey, Executors.

76361 !NOTES:I (Marty Grant) don't know how or if I'm related to Jeremiah Baker, but he could easily be related to my ancestor Jacob Baker (1760/65) who also lived in Ashe County.

Jeremiah Baker was born ca 1800/10 (per 1830 census). I don't know where he was born, though probably in Ashe County, North Carolina.

Jeremiah Baker is a proven son of Morris Baker (bef 1755) as named in a deed where he relinquishes his share of the estate.

Jeremiah Baker would probably have been home with his parents for the 1810 census and listed in the "under 10" age group (born ca 1800/10). His father Morris Baker had one son that age with him in 1810.

In 1820 Jeremiah Baker would probably still be home with his parents, except that his father died in late 1810. His mother was not listed on the 1820 census by name, and if still living, must have been residing with a child or other relative. Jeremiah was probably wherever she was.

Jeremiah Baker married someone in the 1820's. I found no marriage record for him in Ashe County.

Jeremiah Baker was listed in Ashe Co, NC for the 1830 census. He was just a few houses from Zachariah Baker Jr (1800/10), relationship unknown.

I was unable to find Jeremiah Baker on the 1840 census. He may have died in the 1830's or moved away from Ashe County. The 1840 census index shows 38 men of this name in various states.
Children

Jeremiah Baker had two children per the 1830 census records. I have not identified them yet. I would assume that they migrated away in the 1830's with their parents. 		Baker, Jeremiah (I99167)
 
76362 !NOTES:I (Marty Grant) don't know how or if I'm related to John W. Baker, but he could easily be related to my ancestor Jacob Baker (1760/65) who also lived in Ashe County.

John W. Baker was born ca 1782/83 (per 1850 census) somewhere in Virginia (per 1850 census). I don't know what his "W" middle initial stands for.

I don't know who John's parents were. Since he was not born in Ashe County he may not be closely related to the other Ashe County Bakers, though her certainly could be related anyway since Ashe County borders Virginia.

John Baker would have probably been home with his parents for the 1790 census. Unfortunately the 1790 census is lost for Virginia.

He would probably have been home with his parents for the 1800 census, but that census is also lost for Virginia. It is possible that he was already in Ashe by then, but I have no way to know that for sure. If he was there (in Ashe) he would have been about 17 years old, so should be listed in the 16-25 age group (born ca 1784/90). Jonathan Baker (1775/80) had an extra male that age with him. Thomas Baker (1760/65) had an apparent son that age in 1800.

John Baker married someone before ca 1810, possibly in Ashe County (no marriage record found). I don't know his wife's name, but she was born ca 1775/94 (per 1830 census).

John may have been listed on the 1810 census in Ashe County, but the census taker only used initials that year, and there are three men named "J. Baker" listed. One of them is possibly John Baker. I've picked one that roughly matches his 1820 census entry, and although this might not be him, it fits fairly well. The problem with this entry is that there were several other men that could be this "J. Baker" instead: James Baker (1775/80), Jonathan Baker (1775/80), and Jacob Baker (1760/65). The "J. Baker" I picked was next door to "L. Fouts" (Leonard Fouts) who was my Uncle, and who's brother Jacob Fouts married Jacob Baker's daughter. This may mean that I've chosen the wrong "J" to be John.

Mrs. Baker died in the 1820's, presumably in Ashe County.

On 3 Apr 1830, John W. Baker obtained a marriage bond in neighboring Wilkes County to marry Keziah Cearley, daughter of Clement Cearley. Keziah was born ca 1790/1800 (per 1830 and 1840 census).

John Baker was still in Ashe Co, NC for the 1830 census. He had an older woman living with him born ca 1740/50. This could be his widowed mother or mother-in-law. They were listed not too far from Jonathan Baker (1775/80), relationship unknown.

Baker, daughters Elizabeth Duvall, Sarah Greer and Eveline Smith. Executor William B. Smith. The Will was witnessed by Phillip Perkins and James H. Senter.

76363 !NOTES:I (Marty Grant) don't know how or if I'm related to Joshua Baker, but he could easily be related to my ancestor Jacob Baker (1760/65) who also lived in Ashe County.

Joshua Baker was born ca 1802/03 (per 1860 census). I don't know where he was born, though probably in Ashe County, North Carolina.

I don't know who Joshua Baker's parents are. There are several Bakers in the area that had apparent sons his age per the early census records.

Joshua Baker would probably have been home with his parents for the 1810 census and listed in the "under 10" age group (born ca 1800/10). Several of the Baker families listed in Ashe County that year had an apparent son that age. One of these could be his father. Unfortunately the census taker that year only used initials, so it is difficult to know who was who. J. Baker, probably James Baker (1775/80) had three sons that age; Z. Baker, likely Zachariah Baker (1775/80) had one son that age; another J. Baker (still unidentified) had five sons that age; another J. Baker, probably John W. Baker (1783) had two sons that age; S. Baker, likely Samuel Baker (1755/65) had four sons that age; M. Baker, likely Morris Baker (bef 1755) had one son that age; and finally, another S. Baker, likely Solomon Baker (1770) had two sons that age. As you can see the 1810 census does not narrow down the list of possible parents for Joshua Baker for every Baker household in the county that year had at least one son of approximately the same age.

In 1820 Joshua Baker would probably still be home with his parents. He should have been enumerated in either the 16-25 age group (born ca 1794/1804) or in the 10-15 age group (born ca 1804/10), depending on what his actual birth date was. Jacob Baker (1760/65), my ancestor, had one apparent son in each of those age groups; James Baker (1775/80) had two sons of matching ages; Jonathan Baker (1775/80) had three possible matching sons; Thomas Baker (1760/65) had one matching son; Zachariah Baker (1775/80) had one matching son; Elijah Baker (1794/1800) had one matching male, and John Baker (1783) had one matching son. Like the 1810 census, the 1820 census does not help narrow down the suspects too much.

Joshua Baker married someone in the 1820's. I found no marriage record for him in Ashe County. His wife was born ca 1800/10 per the 1830 census or 1810/20 per the 1840 census. This could be two different wives, or one wife born ca 1810. In 1860 his wife was Nancy ---, born ca 1805/06 in NC. She may have been his only wife.

Joshua Baker was listed in Ashe Co, NC for the 1830 census. He was just a few houses away from Hiram Baker (1794/1800), relationship unknown. No other Bakers were nearby.

I was unable to find them on the 1850 census. They must have moved away from Ashe County in the 1840's, or else just been missed that year.

He was "back" in Ashe County for the 1860 census. He was not listed near any other Bakers.

76364 !NOTES:I (Marty Grant) don't know how or if I'm related to Laban Baker, but he could easily be related to my ancestor Jacob Baker (1760/65) who also lived in Ashe County.

Laban Baker was born ca 1812/13 (per 1850 census). He was born in North Carolina, probably in Ashe County where he later lived before it became Watauga County. I'm not sure if he is related to the other Ashe County Bakers but it seems reasonable. He was the only one of the Ashe County Bakers to fall into the new county of Watauga when it was formed in 1849. It is entirely possible he moved to the area later from somewhere else (other than the northern part of Ashe County).

His name on the 1840 census was listed as "Labonin" or something like that. Perhaps his actual name was "Lebanon" or something similar. He was listed as "Laban" on the 1850 census.

I don't know who Laban's parents were. Census analysis shows several possible suspects.

Laban Baker would probably have been home with his parents for the 1820 census and listed in the "under 10" age group (born ca 1810/20). James Baker (1775/80) had four sons that age; James Baker (1794/1800) had three sons under 10; Jonathan Baker (1775/80) had two two possible matching sons; Thomas Baker (1760/65) had two possible matches; Zachariah Baker (1775/80) had three possible matches; Elijah Baker (1794/1800) had three matching males, and John Baker (1783) also had three matching sons. The 1820 census only helps a little since so many of the Ashe County Bakers had son approximately Laban's age.

Laban Baker would have been 17 by the time of the 1830 census, so he should be listed in either the 15-19 age group (born ca 1810/15). There are a few Bakers in Ashe County that year with sons in those age groups, so this does not help immensely in narrowing down the list of possible parents for Laban: Jacob Baker (1760/65) had one son 15-19; James Baker (1775/80) had two sons that age; Morris Baker (1780/90) had two sons that age; Zachariah Baker (1775/80) also had two sons that age; Thomas Baker (1760/65) had one son that age; John Baker (c1783) had three sons that age; Jonathan Baker (1775/80) had one son 15-19. Any of these could be his father.

Laban Baker married someone before ca 1839, presumably in Ashe County (no marriage record found). She was born ca 1810/20 per the 1840 census. His wife in 1850 was Nancy, aged 27 (born ca 1822/23). Nancy could be his second wife unless her age is off in either 1840 or 1850. Since her age doesn't match up I'm assuming Laban was married to someone else first, and married Nancy --- sometime after 1840 but before 1850.

Laban Baker was listed in Ashe County for the 1840 census. He was not listed near any other Baker families. Based on his neighbors (many of whom I'm related to also), he was already in that part of Ashe that later became Watauga County.

His first wife must have died and he married Nancy sometime before 1850 (assuming Nancy wasn't the same woman with him in 1840). I can't narrow down the date of his second marriage since their is no sizeable gap in the children's birth dates and I've found no marriage records for him.

In 1849 Watauga County was formed from a portion of several counties including the portion of Ashe County where Laban and family lived.

They were listed in Watauga County for the 1850 census. They were the only Baker family in that county.

76365 !NOTES:I (Marty Grant) don't know how or if I'm related to Mary (---) Baker, but she could easily be related to my ancestor Jacob Baker (1760/65) who also lived in Ashe County.

Mary Baker is an apparent widow. I only have two records for at present (the 1850 and 1860 census), so that is not much to go on. It seems likely that she is a widow of some Mr. Baker who died before 1850. There are only a few choices for her Mr. Baker based on census analysis. Of course it is also possible that she was a Baker by birth who never married. It is difficult to tell with so few records. I personally believe she is the widow of Jonathan Baker (1775/80), but have no solid proof just yet. There may be some, but I have not seen it.

Mary was born ca 1774/75 (per her age on the 1850 census). I don't know her maiden name (if she is Mrs. Jonathan Baker, then her maiden name is Koons). She was born in North Carolina (per 1850 census), though I don't know what county.

Mary probably married her Mr. Baker before ca 1808 (based on the birth date of her son William Baker), possibly several years before 1808.

Working on several assumptions (all of which could be wrong), I'll attempt to trace Mary through the earlier census records, The assumptions are that she was in Ashe County in the years before 1850, and that she was married to a Mr. Baker, and not a single woman born a Baker.

Assuming that she was married by 1800 already, she should be home with her husband in Ashe County. Mary would be about 25 years old then, so should be enumerated in the 16-25 age group (born ca 1774/84). James Baker (1775/80) had an apparent wife that age; Jonathan Baker (1775/80) (my prime suspect) also had a wife that age; Zachariah Baker (1775/80), Solomon Baker (1770), and Thomas Baker (1760/65) all had apparent wives in the same age category. James's wife was Ann Cox, Zachariah's wife was Sarah Cox. Jonathan Baker's wife was a Ms. Koons (first name not known). I do not know the name of either Solomon nor Thomas Baker's wife.

Moving to the 1810 census, Mary should be with her spouse and would be about 35 years old, so she should be enumerated in the age 26-44 group (born ca 1765/84). Unfortunately the census taker in 1810 only used initials for each household, but many of the Bakers had an apparent wife this age : J. Baker, probably James Baker (1775/80) was a match; Z. Baker, probably Zachariah Baker (1775/80) was a match; J. Baker (bef 1765), not yet identified, has a wife that age; S. Baker, probably Samuel Baker (1755/65) was a match; S. Baker, probably Solomon Baker (1770) was also a match. Mary's family would also have at least one son "under 10" (born ca 1800/10), though all of the above had at least one son that age, so no help there to narrow down the suspects.

For the 1820 census, Mary would have been about 45 years old, so she should be enumerated in the 45 and up group (born 1775), or possibly in the 26-44 category (ca 1775/94). She also had a 12 year old son and a 5 year old son, so the proper matching household should include them. James Baker (1775/80) was a match, though we know his wife was named Ann Cox; Jonathan Baker (1775/80) was a match; Thomas Baker (1760/65) was a match, and his wife is yet unidentified; Zachariah Baker (1775/80) was a match in 1820, and as noted before his wife is Sarah Cox (proven). John Baker (c1783) was a match also, but he was still alive in 1850, so not Mary's husband.

In 1830 Mary would have been about 55 years of age, so she ought to be enumerated in the 50-59 age group (born ca 1770/80). James Baker (1775/80) was a match, though as mentioned, his wife was "Ann." Zachariah Baker (1775/80) was a match in 1830, but as noted his wife was named "Sarah." Jonathan Baker (1775/80) was a match, and as noted before, he is the prime suspect. If I were to base identification of Mary's husband only on the 1830 census I would have to conclude it was Jonathan Baker.

In 1840 Mary would have been around 65 years old, so she should be enumerated in the 60-69 age category. There is only one household that matches, and that is for "William Baker, Esquire" which is the person Mary was living with in 1850 and 1860, so it stands to reason she was with him in 1840 as as well. William Baker (c1808) is undoubtedly her son. The interesting thing is that his 1840 household contained both a male and female in the 60-69 age group. The female must be Mary, but who is the male? Is Jonathan Baker still alive in 1840, but not listed as head of household for some reason?

Mary was listed in Ashe County for the 1850 census with her apparent son William Baker. Another apparent son, Franklin Baker (c1815) was also there as were some Phipps children, possibly her grandkids.

76366 !NOTES:I (Marty Grant) don't know how or if I'm related to Morris Baker, but he could easily be related to my ancestor Jacob Baker (1760/65) who also lived in Ashe County.

Morris Baker was born before 1755 (per 1800 census). I don't know where he was born.

I don't know who Morris Baker's parents were. You'll find contradictory parents listed for him in various places on the Internet, but never with any proof attached, so I won't mention any of those names here. However, with a name like "Morris" it may be reasonable to assume he was somehow related to the Morris family. James Baker is often listed as his father, though it seems to me they are about the same age. James did have a proven son named Morris (per his 1801 Will), but I think it must be a younger man, but I could be wrong about that.

Based on the ages of his children, Morris Baker married someone prior to ca 1775. This may have taken place in Wilkes (now Ashe) County, North Carolina or perhaps somewhere else. I've not seen any proof for his wife's given name, though "Martha Smith" is listed by many others as his wife. He was married to a Miss Smith as proven by the Will of Hugh Smith which named Morris as his son-in-law.

On 12 Sep 1778 it was ordered that Morris Baker and others attend the next court as jurors. (Wilkes Co, NC Court Minutes from Wilkes County, North Carolina Court Minutes 1778-1788 Volumes 1 & 11 by Mrs. W. O. Absher.) (Note: This book can be purchased from Amazon.com)

On 10 Dec 1778 it was ordered "Scire Facias" issued against Morris Baker and others to show cause why they did not attend this court (he didn't show up for jury duty!). (Wilkes Co, NC Court Minutes from Wilkes County, North Carolina Court Minutes 1778-1788 Volumes 1 & 11 by Mrs. W. O. Absher.)

On 23 Oct 1782 Morris Baker received a 91 acre State Land Grant on North Side South Fork New River, bordering James Baker and Andrew Baker. (Wilkes Co, NC Deed Book A-1 page 322 from Wilkes County, North Carolina Deed Books A-1, B-1, C-1 1778-1803 by Mrs. W. O. Absher.) (Note: This book can be purchased from Amazon.com)

On 31 Jul 1783 it was ordered that Morris Baker and others were ordered to attend the next court as jurors. (Wilkes Co, NC Court Minutes from Wilkes County, North Carolina Court Minutes 1778-1788 Volumes 1 & 11 by Mrs. W. O. Absher.)

Morris Baker was listed several times in Wilkes County Court records as a juror.

On 22 Nov 1783 George Morris sold Morris Baker 50 acres on East Side of South Fork New River. Witnessed by Andrew Baker and William Nall. George Morris might be a relative for he was associated with various Bakers. (Wilkes Co, NC Deed Book A-1 page 327 from Wilkes County, North Carolina Deed Books A-1, B-1, C-1 1778-1803 by Mrs. W. O. Absher.) (Note: This book can be purchased from Amazon.com)

On 24 Jan 1786 it was ordered that several men including Morris Baker act as a road jury for a road from John Sheppards to foot of Mountain at head of Reddies River. All of these men presumably were neighbors and lived in that area: William Nall, Morris Baker, James Baker, Martin Adams, John Read, Jesse Ray, John Robins, William Vias, James Sheppard, Barnet Owen, David Owen, Francis Vannoy, Martin Gambill, John Tyre, Nathaniel Vannoy and Robert Sheppard. (Wilkes Co, NC Court Minutes from Wilkes County, North Carolina Court Minutes 1778-1788 Volumes 1 & 11 by Mrs. W. O. Absher.)

On 23 Jan 1787 a road crew was named for the road from James Bakers on New River to Franklins Road: Martin Gambill, David Richardson, William Richardson, Cannaday Richardson, James Williamson, John Fips, Moses Toliver, Jesse Toliver, Zachariah Wells, Ephraim Osborn, David Smith, Alexander Smith, Alexander Johnson, William Scott, William Collens and Morris Baker. (Wilkes Co, NC Court Minutes from Wilkes County, North Carolina Court Minutes 1778-1788 Volumes 1 & 11 by Mrs. W. O. Absher.)

Morris Baker was listed on the 1787 State Census in Wilkes County. He was listed in Captain Nail's District. James Baker was listed in that district also, possibly his brother, or possibly even his father.

Morris was listed on the 1790 census in Wilkes County. He was listed next door to James Baker (brother, father?) and Alex. Smith (brother-in-law?). They were in the 16th Company, which is presumably that part of Wilkes which later became Ashe County.

On 6 Nov 1798 Alexander Smith sold Morris Baker 100 acres on South Side Praters Creek. Witnessed by Robert Nall and Justice Boling (who was married to a Baker). (Wilkes Co, NC Deed Book D page 506 from Wilkes County, North Carolina Deed Books D, F-1 & G-H 1795-1815 by Mrs. W. O. Absher.).

On 13 Dec 1798, Morris Baker received a State Land Grant for 25 acres on South Fork of New River. (Wilkes Co, NC Deed Book D page 695 from Wilkes County, North Carolina Deed Books D, F-1 & G-H 1795-1815 by Mrs. W. O. Absher.).

On the same date (13 Dec 1798), Morris Baker received another State Land Grant for 200 acres on East side of South Fork of New River under Peak Mountain near branch Roans Creek. (Wilkes Co, NC Deed Book D page 699 from Wilkes County, North Carolina Deed Books D, F-1 & G-H 1795-1815 by Mrs. W. O. Absher.).

In 1799, Ashe County was formed from the north western portion of Wilkes County, including the area were most of the Wilkes County Bakers lived.

For the 1800 census, Morris Baker was listed in Ashe County along with several other Bakers. Unfortunately this census was alphabetical, so I can't tell who his neighbors were, nor where he was living. This record shows that many of his sons from 1790 had moved out by this time.

Morris is probably still in Ashe County for the 1810 census, but unfortunately the census taker only used initials, but there was only one "M. Baker" listed, and that is probably Morris. However, there is a problem with this record, for the age of the oldest male in the household is not old enough to be Morris, though it probably is him. He was just two houses from Barnabas Evans (1769) who lived in that part of Ashe that later became Alleghany County.

Morris Baker was listed on the 1815 Ashe County tax list in Captain Weaver's District. He was taxed for 150 acres on Grassy Creek. There was a younger Morris Baker (1780/90) around, and this 1815 listing might be for him instead, but I can't be sure.

I was unable to find Morris Baker on the 1820 census in Ashe County. He may have died in the 1810's or else moved away. 		Baker, Morris (I99160)
 
76367 !NOTES:I (Marty Grant) don't know how or if I'm related to Morris Baker, but he could easily be related to my ancestor Jacob Baker (1760/65) who also lived in Ashe County.

Morris Baker was born ca 1780/90 (per 1830 census), probably in what is now Ashe County, North Carolina. He may have been named for the elder Morris Baker (bef 1755) who could be his Uncle or somehow related.

I believe this must be the same Morris Baker who is a proven son of James and Mary (---) Baker of Wilkes and Ashe Co, NC and Jefferson Co, TN.

Morris Baker was probably one of the four apparent sons home with his parents for the 1787 census, aged "under 21" (born ca 1766/87).

He was probably one of the four apparent sons home with his parents for the 1790 census aged "under 16" (born ca 1774/90).

His family moved west into nearby Jefferson County, Tennessee in the 1790's.

Morris was probably still with his parents for the 1800 census, but unfortunately that census is lost for Tennessee.

His father James Baker made his Last Will and Testament in Jefferson County on 11 Mar 1801 and named son Morris (and others as well).

Morris Baker married someone before ca 1810, probably in Jefferson County. I don't know his wife's name, but she was born ca 1780/90 (per 1830 census). An Ashe County deed dated 10 Jun 1815 names the heirs of John Koons and includes Morris Baker in the list of heirs (as well as Jonathan Baker). This would probably have to be this same Morris Baker as the elder Morris was dead by this time. That means that Morris (the younger) married Miss Koons ca 1800-1810 or thereabouts, probably in Ashe County. Unfortunately her given name was not mentioned. (Thanks to Gale Wallen for this deed reference: Ashe Co, NC Deed Book C page 478).

Morris Baker may have been listed on the 1810 census in Jefferson County, but unfortunately that census is lost for Tennessee.

The same is true for the 1820 census.

Morris Baker was in Ashe Co, NC for the 1830 census. He must have moved there in the 1820's from wherever he had been living before (Jefferson Co, TN, presumably). He was listed just three houses from James Baker (1775/80), his first cousin, I think.

Morris was no longer in Ashe for the 1840 census. He must have moved away somewhere. The 1840 census index shows thirteen men of this name in various places, the nearest in Morgan County, Tennessee (who was a much younger man, but near a Zachariah Baker). I have not checked the other listings to see which of them could be the same Morris Baker (1780/90). 		Baker, Morris (I99200)
 
76368 !NOTES:I (Marty Grant) don't know how or if I'm related to Robert Baker, but he could easily be related to my ancestor Jacob Baker (1760/65) who also lived in Ashe County.

Robert Baker was born ca 1794/1800 (per census analysis). I don't know where he was born, though probably in what is now Ashe County, North Carolina (which was part of Wilkes County until 1799).

I don't know who Robert's parents were. There were several Bakers in the area who could be his father. James Baker (1775/80) had an apparent son this age. Morris Baker (bef 1755), Zachariah Baker (1775/80), and Thomas Baker (1760/65) also had at least one apparent son Robert's age (per 1800 and 1810 census records). Any of them (or none of them) could be Robert's dad. I have no evidence to narrow it down yet.

Robert Baker would probably have been home with his parents for the 1800 census and listed in the "under 10" age group (born ca 1790/1800). The Baker's I mentioned above as possible parents, each had an apparent son that age in 1800.

Robert would probably have been home with his parents in 1810 probably in the age 10-15 age group (born ca 1794/1800). James Baker (1775/80) had an apparent son that age, as did Zachariah Baker (1775/80) and Morris Baker (bef 1755) as did an unidentified "J. Baker" who might be John Baker (1783). I don't think he was old enough to be Robert's father, but could be an older brother instead.

Robert Baker did not appear to be listed on the 1815 Ashe County Tax list, so he probably did not own any land yet.

Robert Baker married someone between 1810 and 1820, presumably in Ashe County (no marriage record found). I don't know his wife's name, but she was also born ca 1794/1800. Others list her as Jane Reeves, daughter of Jesse Reeves, but I don't know the proof for it.

Robert Baker was listed on the 1820 census in Ashe Co, NC. There were quite a few Baker families in Ashe County, NC. Unfortunately, the 1820 Ashe County census was alphabetical, so we can't determine where anyone lived, nor who their neighbors were.

Samuel Baker was born ca 1755/65 (per census analysis). I don't know where he was born.

I don't know who Samuel's parents were. Absalom Baker (died 1777) of Rowan County had a son of this name, but I don't know if this is him or not.

Samuel Baker appears to have had children born before 1790, but I did not find him on the 1790 census in Western North Carolina.

On 29 Jul 1793 Samuel Baker and others were named to be on the road crew to view the road from Deep Gap to Rich Mountain.

On 6 Aug 1794 Samuel Baker and others were named for a road jury to view the road from County road extending through Deep Gap of Blue Ridge to Deep Gap in Rich Mountain at head of Meat Camp Creek from there to the state line on Stone Mountain. This gives us a good clue where Samuel Baker lived for only local residents had to perform such duty.

On 5 Dec 1798 Samuel Baker received a 100 acre land grant on Watauga River, entered 19 Nov 1780 (I wonder why it took so long to get granted?).

In 1799, Ashe County was formed from the north western portion of Wilkes County, including the area were most of the Wilkes County Bakers lived.

For the 1800 census, Samuel Baker was listed in Ashe County along with several other Bakers. Unfortunately this census was alphabetical, so I can't tell who his neighbors were, nor where he was living. His household includes a woman born before 1755, who could be his widowed mother, or mother-in-law.

Samuel may still in Ashe County for the 1810 census, but unfortunately the census taker only used initials, so there are two men named "S. Baker" listed. One of them is probably Solomon Baker (1770) and the other is probably Samuel. If the ages are to be believed, it leaves it clear which must be Samuel, but the enumerations here in 1810 do not line up very well with the 1800 entry so this may not be Samuel at all, but there is no way to be sure. He was next to "J. Baker" (bef 1765), whom I have not positively identified yet. I think this is the right entry for Samuel for he had a neighbor who was a Baird and that name was listed as an adjoining landowner on one of his land grants.

I did not find Samuel Baker on the 1820 census in Ashe Co, NC. He may have died or moved away. The name is too common to randomly check all the "Samuel Baker" listings in 1820 and hope to find a match.

Children

Samuel Baker had a few children per the 1800 and 1810 census records. I have not identified any of them yet. 		Baker, Samuel (I99394)
 
76370 !NOTES:I (Marty Grant) don't know how or if I'm related to Sarah (---) Baker, but she could easily be related to my ancestor Jacob Baker (1760/65) who also lived in Ashe County.

Sarah Baker is an apparent widow. The one and only record I have for her is her entry on the 1840 census in Ashe County. It seems likely that she is a widow of some Mr. Baker who died in the 1840's. There are only a few choices for her Mr. Baker.

Sarah was born ca 1770/80 (per 1840 census). I don't know her maiden name. Her 1840 census listing showed her as "Sally" which is a common nickname for "Sarah."

Sarah probably married her Mr. Baker before 1810 (for her 1840 census entry seems to show a daughter born ca 1800-10). She may have married quite a few years before 1810.

Looking at the 1810 census as a stating point, Sarah should be with her spouse and would be between 30 and 40 years of age, so she should be enumerated in the age 26-44 group (born ca 1765/84). The correct family would also have at least one daughter "under 10" (born 1800/10). Unfortunately the census taker in 1810 only used initials for each household, but many of the Bakers had an apparent wife this age and one daughter that age: J. Baker, probably James Baker (1775/80) was a match; Z. Baker, probably Zachariah Baker (1775/80) was a match; S. Baker, probably Samuel Baker (1755/65) was a match; S. Baker, probably Solomon Baker (1770) was also a match. Of these, James (1775/80) was married to Ann Cox (proven). Zachariah Baker (1775/80) was married to Sarah Cox, which makes them an attractive possibility for a match. Samuel Baker's wife is not known, and neither is Solomon's.

For the 1820 census, this Sarah would have been between 40 and 50 years of age, so she should be enumerated in either the 26-44 group (born ca 1775/94) or in the 45 and up group (born 1775), depending on when her birth day fell in the 1770's. She should also have a daughter at home born 1800/10, so enumerated in either the 16-25 group (1794/1804) or the 10-15 group (1804/10). James Baker (1775/80) was a match, but as noted before, his wife was Ann Cox; Thomas Baker (1760/65) was a match, though in 1830 his wife was older, born 1760/70, so that is not a good match for Sarah, though it could work if she was born ca 1770. Zachariah Baker (1775/80) was a match in 1820, and as noted before his wife is Sarah Cox (proven). John Baker (c1783) was also a match, but he was also listed in 1840 and 1850, so not Sarah's husband. Of these, Thomas and Zachariah seem the most likely matches.

In 1830 Sarah would have been between 50 and 60 years of age, so she ought to be enumerated in that age group, though there is room for her to be in the next category older or younger depending on her actual birth date. Her family should also have an apparent daughter (1800/10) so aged 20-29. Zachariah Baker (1775/80) had a wife (1770/80) and daughter (1800/10) and we know his wife was named "Sarah." In fact, he is the only good match in 1830.

Sarah's husband must have died in the 1830-1840 time period for she is listed as head of household in 1840 in Ashe County. Also it should be noted that Zachariah Baker was not listed in 1840 Ashe County (though I did find someone of his same name and exact age in Morgan Co, TN that year, but he had no wife at home with him there). Could this Sarah in 1840 Ashe County be Sarah Cox Baker, proven wife of Zachariah? If so, did Zachariah die in the 1830's, or is that him in Tennessee without his wife? Sally was two houses from Hiram Baker (c1804), her son perhaps? (I've speculated that Hiram was a son of Thomas Baker (1760/65) which may or may not be true).

!CENSUS:1840 Ashe Co, NC pg 17 Sally Baker 0000000000000-0200010010000
Analysis:

2 Female(s) 5-9 (1830-1835) Daughter? Granddaughter? (1830/35)
Daughter? Granddaughter? (1830/35)

There is one other thing worth considering regarding Sarah "Sally" Baker. I have assumed that she is the older woman in this household in 1840 (born 1770/80), but "Sally," the head of household here, might be the younger woman born ca 1800/10. There is no way to be positive which of these two woman was considered the head of household, and there is no way to know which of the two women was Sally. If the younger one was Sally, then that means this is a woman who probably married a Mr. Baker no later than the early 1830's, and that he died before 1840.

I did not find Sarah on the 1850 census in Ashe County.

Further research is needed to figure out if this Sarah is the same as Sarah Cox Baker, wife of Zachariah, or if she is widow of some other Baker, yet unidentified, and whether or not she was born ca 1770/80 or ca 1800/10. 		Sarah (I99396)
 
76371 !NOTES:I (Marty Grant) don't know how or if I'm related to William Baker, but he could easily be related to my ancestor Jacob Baker (1760/65) who also lived in Ashe County.

William Baker was born ca 1807/08 (per 1850 census). He was born in North Carolina, probably in Ashe County where he later lived.

I don't know who William's father was, but his mother was apparently named Mary Baker (c1775) who was living with him in 1850 and 1860 (and probably in 1840 as well). I'm not sure who her husband was, but Jonathan Baker (1775/80) seems like the best suspect, but I can't be sure without further evidence.

William Baker would probably have been home with his parents for the 1810 census and listed in the "under 10" age group (born ca 1800/10). All of the Baker families listed in Ashe County that year had an apparent son that age. One of these could be his father. Unfortunately the census taker that year only used initials, so it is difficult to know who was who. J. Baker, probably James Baker (1775/80) had three sons that age; Z. Baker, likely Zachariah Baker (1775/80) had one son that age; another J. Baker (still unidentified) had five sons that age (this could be Jonathan Baker (1775/80); another J. Baker, probably John W. Baker (1783) had two sons that age; S. Baker, likely Samuel Baker (1755/65) had four sons that age; M. Baker, likely Morris Baker (bef 1755) had one son that age; and finally, another S. Baker, likely Solomon Baker (1770) had two sons that age. As you can see the 1810 census does not narrow down the list of possible parents very much.

In 1820 William Baker would probably still be home with his parents. He should have been enumerated in the 10-15 age group (born ca 1804/10). Jacob Baker (1760/65), my ancestor, had one apparent son 10-15; James Baker (1775/80) had one son 10-15; Jonathan Baker (1775/80) had two possible matching sons; Thomas Baker (1760/65) had one possible matching son; Zachariah Baker (1775/80) had one matching son; Elijah Baker (1794/1800) had one matching male, and John Baker (1783) also had one matching son. Like the 1810 census, the 1820 census does not help narrow down the suspects too much as almost all the Bakers in Ashe County had a son about William's age.

William Baker would have been 22 by the time of the 1830 census, so he should be listed in either the 20-29 age group (born ca 1800/10). Jonathan Baker (1775/80) had four sons 20-29 and he was the only Baker in Ashe that year with any apparent sons this age. Assuming William was still living at home at this time, then that makes Jonathan the prime suspect to be his father.

William Baker, "Esq" (Esquire, meaning he was a County official, probably a Justice of the Peace) was listed in Ashe County for the 1840 census. His household contained an adult male born ca 1770/80 and one born ca 1800/10. At first I though the older man was named William, but it appears that the younger one is William, based on census analysis. I could be wrong about this, but I'm not aware of any William Baker born in the 1770's in this area at this time. This older man could easily be William's father Jonathan (if that is his father) or some other older relative. An older woman of that same age was also there, and that is likely his mother Mary who was still with him in 1850 and 1860. They were not near any other Bakers.

William Baker was still in Ashe County for the 1850 census and not real far from John W. Baker (c1783). William's mother Mary was with him and an apparent brother named Franklin Baker (c1815). Two Phipps children were also there. (William later married Celia Phipps, perhaps the mother of these two kids).

She was listed on the 1850 census with children but not husband, apparently widowed (or a single mother). I don't know if Phipps is her maiden name or if it was a previous husbands name.

They were still in Ashe County for the 1860 census not close to any other Bakers. Their post office was listed as Helton. Celia's Phipps children were there too, but listed as Bakers instead of Phipps, a common census error.

William Baker was born ca 1809/10 (per 1850 census). He was born in North Carolina, probably in Ashe County where he later lived.

I don't know who William's parents were. Census analysis shows several possible suspects.

William Baker would probably have been home with his parents for the 1810 census and listed in the "under 10" age group (born ca 1800/10) assuming he was actually born by the time the census taker came around. Several of the Baker families listed in Ashe County that year had an apparent son that age. One of these could be his father. Unfortunately the census taker that year only used initials, so it is difficult to know who was who. J. Baker, probably James Baker (1775/80) had three sons that age; Z. Baker, likely Zachariah Baker (1775/80) had one son that age; another J. Baker (still unidentified) had five sons that age; another J. Baker, probably John W. Baker (1783) had two sons that age; S. Baker, likely Samuel Baker (1755/65) had four sons that age; M. Baker, likely Morris Baker (bef 1755) had one son that age; and finally, another S. Baker, likely Solomon Baker (1770) had two sons that age. As you can see the 1810 census does not narrow down the list of possible parents for William Baker, for every Baker household in the county that year had at least one son of approximately the same age.

In 1820 William Baker would probably still be home with his parents. He should have been enumerated in either the 10-15 age group (born ca 1804/10) or possibly in the "under 10" age group (born ca 1810/20), depending on what his actual birth date was. Jacob Baker (1760/65), my ancestor, had one apparent son 10-15; James Baker (1775/80) had one son 10-15 and four sons under 10; James Baker (1794/1800) had 3 sons under 10; Jonathan Baker (1775/80) had four possible matching sons; Thomas Baker (1760/65) had three possible matching sons; Zachariah Baker (1775/80) had four matching son; Elijah Baker (1794/1800) had four matching males, and John Baker (1783) also had four matching sons. Like the 1810 census, the 1820 census does not help narrow down the suspects too much as almost all the Bakers in Ashe County had a son about William's age.

William Baker would have been 19 or 20 by the time of the 1830 census, so he should be listed in either the 15-19 age group (born ca 1810/15) or the 20-29 age group (born ca 1800/10). There are a few Bakers in Ashe County that year with sons in those age groups, so this does not help immensely in narrowing down the list of possible parents for William: Jacob Baker (1760/65) had one son 15-19; James Baker (1775/80) had two sons that age; Morris Baker (1780/90) had two sons that age; Zachariah Baker (1775/80) also had two sons that age; Thomas Baker (1760/65) had one son that age; John Baker (c1783) had three sons that age; Jonathan Baker (1775/80) had four sons 20-29 and one son 15-19. Any of these could be William's father.

William Baker married Elizabeth --- before ca 1832, presumably in Ashe County (no marriage record found). She was born ca 1809/10 in NC (per 1850 census). I don't know her maiden name.

William Baker was listed in Ashe County for the 1840 census. He was not listed near any other Baker families.

76373 !NOTES:I (Marty Grant) don't know how or if I'm related to Zachariah Baker, but he could easily be related to my ancestor Jacob Baker (1760/65) who also lived in Ashe County.

Zachariah Baker was born ca 1775/80 (per census analysis). I don't know where he was born.

I don't know who Zachariah's parents were. There were several Bakers in the area who could be his father. Morris Baker was old enough to be his father, but I don't know if he is. (I've seen other researchers list him as Morrises son, but I have no idea what proof they used.)

Zachariah Baker would probably have been home with his parents for the 1790 census and listed in the "under 16" age group (born ca 1774/90). There were ten Baker households in Wilkes County that year, and all but one of them had at least one apparent son this age, so that doesn't help to narrow down the list of possible parents.

On 28 Apr 1798 Zacheriah Baker and Henry Hardin witnessed a deed from George Sizemore to John Cox for land on Praters Creek. (Wilkes Co, NC Deed Book D page 347 from Wilkes County, North Carolina Deed Books D, F-1 & G-H 1795-1815 by Mrs. W. O. Absher.). (Note: This book can be purchased from Amazon.com)

On 8 July 1798, James Baker, Anny Baker and Zachariah Baker witnessed a deed from William Savage to Henry Hardin for land on Cranberry Creek. I'm assuming that James Baker is the one born ca 1775/80 who was still in the area in 1800. Anny could be his wife or Zachariah's wife. (Wilkes Co, NC Deed Book D page 485 from Wilkes County, North Carolina Deed Books D, F-1 & G-H 1795-1815 by Mrs. W. O. Absher.). (Note: This book can be purchased from Amazon.com)

In 1799, Ashe County was formed from the north western portion of Wilkes County, including the area were most of the Wilkes County Bakers lived.

Zachariah Baker probably married in the 1790's in Wilkes, now Ashe County. His wife was Sarah Cox as proven by several records. She was a daughter of John Cox. Census analysis shows she was born ca 1770/80.

For the 1800 census, Zachariah Baker was listed in Ashe County along with several other Bakers. Unfortunately this census was alphabetical, so I can't tell who his neighbors were, nor where he was living.

Zachariah Baker was still in Ashe Co, NC for the 1830 census. Fortunately, this one was in the original order, so we can determine (more or less) where each person lived and who their neighbors were. He was listed near Morris Baker (1780/90) and two houses from James Baker (1775/80).

I was unable to find Zachariah Baker on the 1840 census in Ashe County (the younger Zachariah was still there.) He may have died in the 1830's or moved away. An apparent widow Sally Baker (1770/80) was listed in Ashe in 1840. She could have been Zachariah's wife, but I have no evidence that she was the same person as his wife Sarah Cox Baker, though "Sally" is a common nickname for "Sarah" and if it is her, they must have separate for he was still alive then.

I found a Zachariah Baker this same age in 1840 Morgan County, Tennessee who could be the same man. I don't know if he is or not but it looks promising. This man did not have an apparent wife with him. Does that mean Sarah Cox Baker had died or was she back in Ashe County at this time? 		Baker, Zachariah (I99164)
 
76374 !NOTES:I (Marty Grant) don't know how or if I'm related to Zachariah Baker, but he could easily be related to my ancestor Jacob Baker (1760/65) who also lived in Ashe County.

Zachariah Baker was born ca 1798/99 (per 1850 census) or ca 1800/01 (per 1860 census) in North Carolina, presumably Ashe County.

I don't know who Zachariah Baker's parents are. There are several Bakers in the area that had apparent sons his age per the early census records. He was probably named for the older Zachariah Baker (1775/80) who could be his father, or at least an Uncle.

Zachariah Baker would probably have been home with his parents for the 1810 census and listed in the "under 10" age group (born ca 1800/10). Several of the Baker families listed in Ashe County that year had an apparent son that age. One of these could be his father. Unfortunately the census taker that year only used initials, so it is difficult to know who was who. J. Baker, probably James Baker (1775/80) had three sons that age; Z. Baker, likely Zachariah Baker (1775/80) had one son that age; another J. Baker (still unidentified) had five sons that age; another J. Baker, probably John W. Baker (1783) had two sons that age; S. Baker, likely Samuel Baker (1755/65) had four sons that age; M. Baker, likely Morris Baker (bef 1755) had one son that age; and finally, another S. Baker, likely Solomon Baker (1770) had two sons that age. As you can see the 1810 census does not narrow down the list of possible parents for Zachariah Baker for every Baker household in the county that year had at least one son of approximately the same age.

In 1820 Zachariah Baker would probably still be home with his parents. He should have been enumerated in either the 16-25 age group (born ca 1794/1804). Jacob Baker (1760/65), my ancestor, had one apparent son that age; James Baker (1775/80) had one son of matching age; Jonathan Baker (1775/80) had one possible matching son; Like the 1810 census, the 1820 census does not help narrow down the suspects too much, though does narrow it down to those three. However, since Zachariah's age fluctuates between census categories, this may not be an entirely accurate census analysis.

"Zechriah Baker Jr" married Zilpha Dickson on 4 Apr 1822 in Ashe County, North Carolina. She was born ca 1800/10 (per 1830 and 1840 census). I don't know who her parents were.

Zachariah Baker was listed in Ashe Co, NC for the 1830 census. He was just a few houses from Jeremiah Baker (1800/10) relationship unknown.

They were still in Ashe County for the 1840 census. They were not near any other Bakers but were next door to John Dickson (1790/1800). Is he Zilpha's brother perhaps?

I was unable to find them on the 1850 census for some time until it occurred to me that they might be listed under "Barker" instead of Baker, and sure enough they were. Zachariah was spelled "Barker" but the rest of the family was "Baker", but not indexed that way.

76400 !NOTES:I am not related to the Burchfield family as far as I'm aware. However, there are two early Wilson - Burchfield marriages and I might be related to these Wilsons. Furthermore, I do come across the Burchfields often in my Burke/Yancey Co., NC research and Blount Co., TN research, so I wanted to have some data on them for reference. Most of what I have listed on the early generations are from other researchers and not verified by me. Any documentation below is my own, however.
