Robert Baker

Biography

From https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Baker-1661

Robert Baker was born about 1754. He died after 1818 in Hawkins, Tennessee, United States.

Robert's spouse is unknown. He had the following children [there were likely others]:

• William Baker, b. 31 Jan 1789
• Elender "Nellie" Baker, b. ca 1800
• John Simpson Baker, b. 23 Jan 1804

The Baker Family DNA projects have ruled out any possibility that his father is the son of Robert Baker. The descendants of the Rev. Andrew Baker, John Renta Baker, Bolling Baker, and Morris Baker all have matching Y-DNA. None of the descendants show any proof of Native American ancestry in their autosomal DNA.

There are no records that indicate that Andrew Baker was married to Mary Bolling. The deed and survey records for Andrew Baker show that his wife was Susannah..
