I'm resending this because I made a mistake, and I'm not sure I sent it right afterwards. I apologize for the inconvenience. Hi Baker list, I am finally getting around to posting my Baker lines: This email is Baker line #1: Anna Baker b. ca 1819-20 in North Carolina, probably daughter of Joseph Baker, but as yet unproven. She married in 1840 to Frederick William Aderholt (his 2nd wife), b. 31 Mar 1800 Lincoln Co., NC d. 24 Mar 1879 St. Clair Co., AL, son of Jacob Israel and Elizabeth (Hefner) Aderholt. My reasoning for Joseph Baker being her father is: I have a certain map from a book (and I will have to dig out the source name if anyone wants it, but it's kind of late here and I'm kind of lazy here tonight, ha) - anyway, a map of a part of Lincoln county and has dots showing where my Aderholts lived and where Joseph Baker lived, in relative proximity to each other for that time period. As well as Joseph Baker and the Aderholt listings in the census records - usually on the same page. No, none of this is proof - purely circumstantial, hanging by a thread. But without this I don't even have that thread! I still need to check into wills and deeds to try to find some documentation - I did alot of checking into various records on these Bakers before but kept hitting that brick wall and finally decided to let it go for a bit. Now I'm getting back to it. There is a census record in 1850 Lincoln Co., NC for Joseph Baker age 50 and Elizabeth (wife) age 48, both born in NC and shown with seven children - John, Mary, Jackson/Johnson, Louisa, Catherine, Vardy and Daniel. In 1830 Lincoln Co., NC there is a Joseph Baker with 2 daughters the age to fit Anna. In 1820 Lincoln Co., NC Joseph has the same 2 daughters the age to fit Anna, and there is a Joseph Baker, Sr. as well. If you are interested in this line of Bakers I would be happy to correspond with you and share and exchange information.
