| Death | bef 1870 | Susannah Baker Pitman died bef 1870 at prob Mitchell County, NC. "Susan" Pitman, age 55, appears on the 1860 Yancey County census. (Mitchell County was created in 1861.) It is not certain whether this is the same person. No one of a similar name appears on the 1870 census, though Susannah's son Solomon is on that census; the family with whom Susan Pitman was living in 1860 was in McDowell County in 1870 and no Susan Pitman was with them then. If this is our Susannah, then it thus appears that Susannah was alive at the time of the 1860 census (though age 65, not 55) but died before the 1870 census. That is only a tentative conclusion since a major portion of the 1870 Federal Census for Mitchell County is unavailable.7,8 |

| Charts | Descendants of Thomas and Dorothy Davenport Baker |
| Note | Baker Family descent from this Thomas Baker and his wife Dorothy Davenport Baker is well-established. There is, however, little if any documentary proof before this Thomas. Family anecdotal information passed down through the lines of two of Thomas' sons (David and Charles) identifies Thomas' parents as William Baker and Mary (Corbie?) Baker. The fact that Thomas Baker's first son was named William adds credence to the identification of Thomas' father as William, as does the fact that Charles Baker in 1845 stated that his father's (Thomas') brothers were named William and Josiah. As far as we know, no reliable researcher has indicated a specific documentary source for the parentage of Thomas' father William. Many Baker family researchers say it was Samuel Baker, husband of Elinor Winslow, and they then claim that he in turn was the son of Alexander Baker, who came to America in 1635. As of 2006, any relationship to the Massachusetts Bakers was definitively disproved when a documented descendant of that Samuel Baker took a DNA test to be compared to documented descendants of Thomas Baker. The DNA is so distinctly different that we have begun to joke that the most recent common ancestor was probably named Adam. More recent research strongly suggests a Virginia origin for our Bakers, through a Thomas Baker who by 1696 was a documented neighbor of Davis Davenport, patriarch of the Davenport family that produced our Thomas' wife Dorothy. | |
| Birth | 8 Jan 1711 | Thomas Baker, son of William Baker and Mary (Corbie? Jacoby?) Baker, was born on 8 Jan 1711 at prob VA. The date of birth of Thomas Baker is anecdotal from various family histories. Those histories also list his place of birth as Chester County PA. Given the times, and the migration trends, it is unlikely that Thomas was born in PA and far more likely that he was born in VA. |
| Marriage | 1734 | Thomas Baker married Dorothy Davenport, daughter of Martin Davenport Sr. and Dorothy [Glover?] Davenport, in 1734 at Hanover County, VA.1 |
| Death | 10 Jan 1777 | Thomas Baker died on 10 Jan 1777 at prob Culpeper County, VA, at age 66. In David Baker's Revolutionary War service pension application, he stated that his father had died while he was in service (and thus between February 1776 and February 1778). The family history, repeated at various websites, is that Thomas Baker operated a gunpowder mill and was making gunpowder for the Continental Army when the mill exploded and he was killed. There is no known documentation of this story. To the contrary, although both will and deed books survive in their entirety in Culpeper County, there is no documentation even to suggest that Thomas died there.1 |
