About John Henry Baker, Sr
John (b. 1745 and d. 1816) and Sarah Baker are some of the earliest known settlers in this area. The Bakers purchased land, then a part of Mecklenburg County and now known now as Cabarrus and Rowan counties, in the early 1770’s through a land grant from King George III in 1773.
Upon Baker’s monument, one of the oldest in Kannapolis Cemetery, are written these words: “In memory of John Baker. Born October 12, 1745 and died January 18, 1816, Aged 71 years and 4 months. Remember man as you pass by, you are now so once was I. As I am now, so you must be, Prepare for death to follow me.”
Baker's Creek Park in Kannapolis is named after him.
