Andrew Baker first appears in the 1802 tax list of Henry County as over 16 but under 21. The tax lists are in Alphabetical order, with the date of the assessment listed as July 2, 1802. On that same date Isaac Winscott Sr and Isaac Winscott Jr are also assessed along with John Baker (b1762). In 1803, Andrew is again listed as under 21. Finally in 1804 he is listed as 21. His DOB would thus be in 1783 - 84.
In 1802 Andrew married Phebe Collins with bond dated April 11, signed with the X of Isaac Wainscott (see attached). Isaac Wainscott is very likely married to Lucy Baker. It was often the practice of a close relative to post bond, so Isaac could be Isaac Jr. The bond states that Phebe is of full age, meaning 21. The 1850 Census (attached) states her age is 69 corroborating her DOB of 1781.
Some have placed Andrew in the John Baker (b1762) family of Henry County, others in the Reverend Andrew Baker family. However, Andrew's DOB is before Dec 1785 when John and Catherine Winscott Baker were married. Also the Andrew Baker, son of Reverend Andrew Baker was born in 1777 per a Bible record. It is this researchers opinion that Andrew is from the Bowling Baker (b1763) family descended from Andrew and Suzanna Baker. Bowling Baker is known to have been in Madison Co, Ky in 1798 when he married his 2d wife. In 1798 Lucy Baker also married Isaac Wainscott in Madison Co.. In 1800 Boldin (aka Bowling Baker) is taxed in Henry County, next to Isaac and Lucy Baker Winscott.
By 1810 Andrew and Phebe had 1 son and 2 daughters under 10 and one boy over 10. This child has been identified as Elisha Baker with whom Phoebe is living in 1850. There is thus a possibility that Lucy was previously married to a Baker who died and her marriage to Isaac was a second marriage, thus explaining Elisha.
In 1813 Andrew Baker was one of the Mounted Kentucky Volunteers who confronted the British and Indians in the Battle of the Thames on October 5, 1813. He was a private in Colonel Calloway's Eighth Regiment in Capt Heddin's Company from Henry County. The Kentuckians are credited with defeating the British and their ally the Indian Chief Tecumesh, thus saving Detroit and Ohio.
Of interest is that Andrew posted bond on Apr 11, 1816 for the marriage in Henry County of Susannah Baker to Thomas Thorn. Susannah being the name of her grand mother. I have not been able to identify her as a daughter of John Baker as some have placed her. Most likely she is related to Andrew Baker, either as a daughter or sister. Susannah and Thomas Thorn have not been located thereafter.
Tax list records in Henry County indicate that Andrew was taxed on about 100 acres of land from 1808 thru 1817, before moving to what would become Owen County. This land appears to be the same land purchased by Isaac Winscott on Drennons Creek in 1801, further establishing their relationship through Lucy Baker.
Andrew is found in Owen Co. in 1820 on property bordering the Abraham Winscott property. Abraham was a son of Isaac Winscott Sr. This is further evidence of Andrew's relationship to the Winscotts.
Andrew and Phoebe Baker moved from Owen County in late 1820s or early 1830s to Missouri. Different sources place his death either 1835 or 1840 in Monroe County, Missouri. Phoebe is found there living with one of her children and no Andrew in 1850.
