!NOTES:There is documented proof that Rev. Andrew is a son of an older man also named Andrew Baker (see BakerAncestors list and andrewbakerresearchers list discussions July 2014);


!NOTES:Reference this group email from David Hindman regarding Andrew's sons as an overview of what proof there is (4/10/2019):

1750 Morris was the father of Jeremiah, and thus your ancestor.  1750 Morris is generally believed to be a son of Andrew Baker Sr of Grayson County Virginia.  We don't have any documentary evidence for that belief.  I'm reserving a small doubt about 1750 Morris' parents just in case.
I'm also reluctant to assign birth years to some of Andrew Sr's children because we have little documentation for them.  The generally accepted birth dates are reasonable guesstimates.
We know from a note found in the Cox v. Newell case file that Andrew Sr of Grayson County was the father of Rev. Andrew Jr.  We know from Elijah Callaway via the Draper papers that John was a brother of Andrew Jr.  We know from Rev John J Dickey's 1898 interview with Allen E. Robertson that:
1 - John Baker Sr was called "Renta"
2 - John Baker Sr had a brother Bowling Baker and a brother George Baker
3 - John Baker Sr was father of Julius "Bob", "Durkham" John, George who married Esther Robertson, and James called "Clay Bank".
Allen E Robertson had personal knowledge of this information because his aunt married George Baker (the son of John Baker Sr).
So we have secondary sources attesting to the following sons of Andrew Sr:  Andrew Jr, John "Renta", Bowling and George.  As best I know we have no such sources naming the following as sons of Andrew Sr: 1750 Morris, Robert, and James.
