Thank you for being visitor 07/01/97!!

This page contains the information I have collected on my BAKER line, as well as other Baker Resources. This is one of the toughest families to research, and wouldn't you know my other surname BOLIN, which inter-married with the BAKERS, is just as difficult.

I am looking for any information on who the parents and siblings are of George BAKER born 1759 in Granville County, NC.

I welcome all additions and corrections to information posted here.

This is what I know about George BAKER:

He is a brother to Bolin Baker born 1763/4, as stated in his Revolutionary War pension records.

George BAKER b. 14 Oct 1759 in Granville County, NC., d. 27 Sep 1837 in Morgan County, IN, m. 29 Aug 1778 in Wilkes County, NC to Susannah MORRIS d/o (?).

Children of George & Susannah

• Morris b. ca. 1780
• Martha b. 10 Aug 1788
• Nancy - this link will take you to the Bolin page to view her children.
• William (Rev.) b. 1797
• John b. unknown
• Mary Polly b. 2 Dec 1790 (??)
• James b. unknown

Transcription of George Baker's Revolutionary War Pension Application, can be viewed by clicking on the above link.

The following was found on a microfilm file at the Morgan County
Library.  Unfortunately, there is no indication of the source.
It is typed and appears to be from a book.  Maybe someone out
there knows the actual source - if so please let us know.
