NOTE:

 

Andrew Baker came from Rockcastle County to Pendleton County, according to the Barton films in the Pendleton County Public Library. Several of the papers also state that Louisa was born in Menifee County, but she was born ca. 1835 and Menifee wasn't formed until 1869. They may just be referring to an area that later became Menifee, but this does create a puzzle, because the family was in Pendleton Co. and in Grant Co. much earlier than 1835. Perhaps they left and came back?  

 

DNA tests now indicate that he is related to the brothers Bazil and Reason Baker and also Wansley Baker who may be another brother and likely there are other brothers.  These Bakers entered Kentucky from NC with Daniel Boone through the Cumberland Gap on his 2nd trip to KY in 1782. They settled in and around Madison County, KY for a while before most of them moved elsewhere.

More about Thurman Baker:

He was 6ft 3in and later in life weighed 176 lbs. He played the harmonica and Jew’s harp. As a youngster he was legally blind.  He said he recognized people by the way they walked, as he couldn’t make out faces.  He accomplished most things by feel.  The teacher, where he started school, said she did not have time to teach a blind person in her 1 room schoolhouse and sent him home.  In his late teens, after treatment, he was able to see and taught himself to read and sign his name.  He did arithmetic in his head faster than the rest with pencil and paper.  He worked for a dollar a day, then farmed on the shares and finally in 1941 bought a farm of about 200 acres already furnished with tools, horses, and some livestock.  He plowed and prepared people’s gardens in Clarksburg, IN 2 ˝ miles from his farm and did other odd jobs to make enough money to get by.  He accepted other’s horses and broke them to work.  Eventually, he bought a tractor and before his heart attack at 55 he was farming about 200 acres south of Andersonville, IN plus renting 500 additional acres for $800 Per year.  He loved coon hunting and the last year I hunted with him we caught 64 coons.  His dog Madge took the World Championship in the Arkansas Field Trials after he sold her to another guy.

More about William Baker:

 

Military: He's a wounded WW II European Threatre veteran on a 100% disability.

Sgt Baker was leading his squad of 7 men on a recon. mission after the death of his Commanding Officer and he was up for promotion to lieutenant.  On the squad's way back they were pinned down and their radio was damaged.  William crawled through enemy fire to find reinforcements when he was badly wounded and lost an eye plus other serious injuries.  With blood in his good eye he got lost until he came upon a dead white horse he had seen on the way in.  He found reinforcements and saved his unit and he was the only casualty.  He spent many months in Brooke Medical Center, TX before his discharge.  Pieces of shrapnel still work out of his body once in a while.
