Joseph Baker was born in 1774 in NC according to dates on his tombstone and census records. Though he first appeared in the Burke County census in 1820, we know he was in the county much earlier. His War of 1812 Pension Application lists the date of his marriage to Sarah Thompson as April, 1800, with the ceremony being performed by John H. Stevely. His name again appears on a militia roster ( Burke County First Regiment ) abt. 1812. Starting in 1820 Joseph appears regularly in the census until his death in August, 1860. Sarah Thompson was born in 1779 in NC and died in December of 1880 at the age of 101. Her father appears to be Isaac Thompson, Rev. War soldier, born abt. 1755 near the Dan River on the VA-NC border. Isaac died in Burke County in 1839. Her only known sibling at this time is Isaac Thompson Jr., born abt. 1801 in Burke Co. NC. Joseph and Sarah had at least 17 children starting with Charlotte in 1805. They are:

A........ Charlotte Baker b. 1805
****
B........ Elyn ? Baker ( Ellison ) b. 1806 She was found in the Burke census of 1880 in her brother James's household. She was listed as his sister and as being widowed. ( In the census her first name is almost unreadable so I am guessing as to how it was spelled. On Sarah's Letters of Administration Application, Ellison has been clearly written in over Baker.)
****
C....... Mary Baker b. 1810
****
D....... Eliza Baker ( Mull ) b. 1812 Eliza is found in the 1870 Burke census living with her brother James Baker.
****
E....... Isaac Baker b. early 1820's, is found in the 1850 Buncombe Co. census with a wife named Rebecca and 2 children, a son named Joseph (age 6) and a daughter named Sarah.(age 8)
