My earliest is James Baker b. ca. 1800 (John could be a brother??) The best that I can find there might be 2 Baker families in Anderson County at this time. The earliest documented Baker is Thomas Baker . He was here in the 1790's along Salt River. I have long suspected he was the father of my James , but can't find the connection, But my James was also on Salt River. Good luck LAD
