| Relationship | Grandson of Thomas Baker. |
| Birth | c 1760 | Thomas Baker, son of William Baker and Ann Gambill, was born c 1760. Descendants of this Thomas Baker identify his birthplace as Wilkes County NC. If the date of c1760 is correct, that is most unlikely. As of 1763, William Baker (father of this Thomas) was still actively involved in land transactions in Culpeper County VA. |
| Note | Thomas Baker's identity as the son of William Baker is established by a number of facts. First, William Baker (oldest son of Thomas and Dorothy Davenport Baker) was known to have married "a Gambill cousin," according to a statement made by William's brother Charles and recorded in the papers of Dr. John Branner of Stanford University (himself a descendant of Thomas and Dorothy Davenport Baker). Henry Gambill married Mary Davenport, sister of Dorothy Davenport Baker, and it was their daughter Ann (or Nancy) who married William Baker. Second, Thomas was deeply associated with Martin Gambill, younger brother of William Baker's wife, in Wilkes County. He was named as a "sister son" and "nephew" of Martin Gambill in affidavits submitted by Martin's widow, Nancy Nall Gambill, in support of bounty land and pension applications filed by Thomas' widow Molly Cantrell Baker. Thomas also appeared as a chain bearer for Martin Gambill in a survey for a land grant in an area that later became Ashe County.1,2 | |

| Birth | c 1828 | Thomas Baker, son of James Crittenden Baker and Nancy Jane Estes?, was born c 1828 at NC. Descendants of Thomas Baker and David B. Baker have DNA tested as relatives and David B. and Thomas were next-door neighbors in the 1860 Monroe County TN census; both note that family records establish descent from James C. Baker. That surely suggests, at least for research purposes, that they were brothers pending record evidence.1 |

If those who assert that Nancy's maiden name was King are correct, then the E.J. King enumerated with the family may be Nancy's sister.1 |

William Baker
M, b. 1675
| Relationship | Father of Thomas Baker. |
| Note | There's no real question that the names of the parents of Thomas Baker (father of David Baker of Bakersville NC) were William Baker and Mary (Corbie?) Baker. Information was obtained from David's brother Charles (directly or indirectly) by Dr. John C. Branner, second president of Stanford University, identified his grandparents and parents. However, William's year of birth and place of birth and, more importantly, his parentage and marriage are very much in question. The claim that William's father was Samuel Baker, son of Alexander Baker, was definitively disproved by DNA tests in 2006. | |
| Birth | 1675 | William Baker was born in 1675. date of birth purely a guesstimate based on the approximate birth date of his son Thomas. |
| Marriage | 1710 | He married Mary (Corbie? Jacoby?) Baker in 1710. |
