Request for BAKER DNA volunteers I am passing a message made back in February 2007, by BAKER descents wanting to encourage more proven descents. This is of great interest to our Leslie County BAKER descents and especially in the LEWIS & CAMPBELL & COUCH lineage's. On lands of Leslie County as it exists today and since 1878, there are BAKER descents from TWO major BAKER lines. One is known as Capt. John Baker who was later beheaded by two slaves while he slept, in his home in those days of Perry County land. The other Capt. John Renty / Renta / Baker a famous longhunter pioneer into KY and TN lands. Both these CAPT. JOHN BAKER were Rev. War Veterans. CAPT. John Baker who died of Perry Co., Ky NC md. His first wife: on 4 May 1789, in LEE Co., VA, SARAH ALPHA b. 1778 (I/2 Indian bloodline). Sarah bore two male children to John but died giving birth to #2 WILSON Baker. Capt. John remarried rather quickly to wife #2 CHLOE McINTOSH b. 1777 NC d/o once Rev. War General John R. McIntosh b. Bef 1740 Highlands of Scotland then quit the English Army, and pioneered lands in Virginia. > CHLOE McINTOSH, who bore female TWINS in 1794 in Ashe Co., NC, before moving into KY.
