Andrew Baker, etc., ARE NOT RELATED. This has been settled for several years now, since the first of the DNA tests were performed. The Baker DNA study shows just the opposite--that there is NO common ancestor between the "Gunsmith" Bakers and John Renta Baker, Rev. Andrew Baker, etc. (Not even close.) Nor are either of those families related to the Humphrey Baker family. Not sure where that notation came from, but it's not from our study.
