Well, that is interesting...I didn't know that....:) But a birth place of VA for Nancy Baker, Rev Will's wife, would be in line with John Baker, who was born in Stafford County VA and who we believe is the father of Nancy...according to John Baker's Rev Pension file, he went from VA to SC if I recall, then on to Logan County KY, then TN first stop in Bedford County TN then Wilson County TN where he died in 1844...he was 96 years old when he died and gave his declaration for his pension...I am beginning to think that some of his time frames are off however, I'm not finding him in Bedford County TN until about 1815...but I've not put all the deeds together for him yet...
