  !NAMED:21 Jul 1855 Ashe Co, NC Wills A-105 John BAKER pr Aug 1855. Wife Kisiah, heirs of Eli J. BAKER, son John C. BAKER, daughter Elizabeth DUVALL, Sarah GREER, Eveline SMITH. Executor: William B. SMITH. Witness: Phillip PERKINS, James H. SENTER; !NOTES:Elijah Baker was born ca 1794/1800 (per census analysis). I don't know where he was born, though possibly in what is now Ashe County, North Carolina (which was part of Wilkes County until 1799). Elijah Baker is a proven son of John Baker (1783) and his first wife (name unknown) as named in John's 1855 Will. It is possible that the Elijah named in his Will was a different, younger man than this Elijah, but I don't think so. This is the only Elijah I have any records on in that area. He seems a little old to be John's son, but his (or John's) age could be off slightly from what I currently show. Elijah Baker would probably have been home with his parents for the 1800 census and listed in the "under 10" age group (born ca 1790/1800), however, I have yet to locate his father John W. Baker in 1800. He was not listed in Ashe County that year. Elijah would probably have been home with his parents in 1810 probably in the age 10-15 age group (born ca 1794/1800). John Baker did have an apparent son that age in 1810. Elijah Baker was listed on the 1815 Ashe County Tax list next to his father in Captain Weaver's District. He was taxed for 50 acres on Beaver Dam Branch. (This list is online at Jeff Weaver's New River Notes) Elijah Baker married someone between 1810 and 1820, presumably in Ashe County (no marriage record found). I don't know his wife's name, but she was born ca 1794/1804 per the 1820 census. Elijah Baker was listed on the 1820 census in Ashe Co, NC. There were quite a few Baker families in Ashe County, NC. Unfortunately, the 1820 Ashe County census was alphabetical, so we can't determine where anyone lived, nor who their neighbors were. !CENSUS:1820 Ashe Co, NC pg 20 Elijah Baker 310100-20100 Analysis: 1 Male(s) 16-25 (1794-1804) Elijah BAKER (1794/1800) s/o John W. Baker 1 Male(s) 10-15 (1804-1810) Brother? Brother-in-law? (1804/10) 3 Male(s) 0-9 (1810-1820) Son? Son? Son? 1 Female(s) 16-25 (1794-1804) Wife? (1794/1804) 2 Female(s) 0-9 (1810-1820) Daughter? Daughter? I was unable to find Elijah Baker on the 1830 census. He may have died in the 1820's or moved away. He was certainly dead by 1855 when his father made his Will in Ashe County, for he left something to the "heirs" of his son Elijah, which certainly suggests he was dead by then. There were no apparent widows listed in Ashe on the 1830 census. If Elijah had died, his widow and children must be living with other relatives in 1830. There was an Elijah Baker in neighboring Grayson Co, VA in 1830, but that was an older man (the son of Andrew Baker I suspect).
