| Milit Svce | 1864 | He served in the Civil War in Company A, 1st Frontier District in 1864 at Parker County, TX. He enlisted at Weatherford, TX on Feb 1, 1864 and served for 30 days. The Frontier Districts were created to protect the settlers from Indian raids while so many of the men were serving in the Confederate Army. [Note that Weatherford was the headquarters for Company D, and it may have been in that unit that Baker served.] |

| Birth | 21 Nov 1820 | William Baker, son of Martin Alexander Baker and Elizabeth Buchanan, was born on 21 Nov 1820 at NC. Note that William's date of birth is uncertain. William's descendants report that a family Bible gives it as November 21, 1820. Elma Baker in "The Rugged Trail" gives it as November 11, 1820. However, the 1850 census shows him as 28 and younger than Josiah, who was born in 1822. |
| 1830 Census | 1830 | Based on age and gender, William Baker was probably included as a free white male, age 10-15, in the household of his father, Martin Alexander Baker, on the 1830 U.S. census of Burke County, NC. |

| Death | bt Jul 1852 - 1853 | William Baker died bt Jul 1852 - 1853 at Columbus City, Louisa County, IA. According to an email from Bruce Baker, great grandson of William Baker, dated October 7, 2003, William and Matilda Baker traveled from North Carolina to Iowa in the fall of 1852. (Other members of the Baker family -- Martin and son David -- were already in Iowa by the summer of 1852.) Bruce Baker reports: "William made it to Iowa but died there shortly after his arrival. He and his family traveled in the fall of 1852, and they got as far as Burlington, Iowa and the weather got bad. They had to ford flooded streams and leading the oxen through the water got Great Great dad soaked. With that William caught a bad cold. He later developed pneumonia and died as a result of that. He was buried some where in the Columbus Jct area. But no one that we could find knew where. I did make contact by mail with a distant cousin that shared a letter that was written in June 1965. In it she recalled her mother telling about the trip. Her mother was my Aunt Julia, she married a William Marsden. Their family stayed in the Columbus City area. Her letter told the story of their travels and how hard it was for them." His widow's obituary puts William's death a year after their arrival in Iowa (or 1853). William's widow, Matilda, remarried on October 8, 1854 and she and her Baker children were living with her second husband (William Paschal) in Louisa County Iowa on the 1856 census and the 1860 federal census. |

| Birth | 12 Jul 1828 | Charles Baker, son of Martin Alexander Baker and Elizabeth Buchanan, was born on 12 Jul 1828 at NC. |
| 1830 Census | 1830 | Based on age and gender, Charles Baker was probably included as a free white male, under age 5, in the household of his father, Martin Alexander Baker, on the 1830 U.S. census of Burke County, NC. |
| 1840 Census | 1840 | Based on age and gender, Charles Baker was probably included as a free white male, age 10-15, in the household of his father, Martin Alexander Baker, on the 1840 U.S. census of Cherokee County, NC. |
| Note | There is no record of Charles Baker after the 1854 Iowa State Census, He cannot be found in Texas, where Martin, Josiah and Louisa migrated in 1854, nor did he accompany his brother David to Kansas. Elma Baker in "The Rugged Trail" states that Charles did go with his father, brother and sister to Texas and served as a Texas Ranger and as a postmaster -- none of this can be substantiated. (Note that "The Rugged Trail" is filled with errors: it also states, for example, that Charles' brother William went to Texas, when it is clear that William died before the family moved from Iowa to Texas.). |

| Birth | c 1682 | Martin Davenport Sr., son of Davis Davenport and wife of Davis Davenport, was born c 1682 at VA. most likely at Pamunkey Neck in King William County. |
| Note | c 30 Mar 1704 | Martin Davenport was on the 1704 Quit Rent Rolls list for King William County, assessed for 100 acres. |
| Marriage | b 1706 | Martin Davenport Sr. married First wife of Martin Davenport b 1706 at VA. It appears that Martin had at least two wives. For research purposes the first three children are ascribed to a first wife. |
| Marriage | b 1716 | Martin Davenport Sr. married Dorothy [Glover?] Davenport b 1716 at prob King William County, VA. Dorothy was likely a second wife and mother of only some of Martin's children. She may have been a Glover, and possibly a daughter of William and Mary Glover of King William County. |
| Residence | 8 Nov 1721 | On 8 Nov 1721, Martin Davenport Sr. lived at St. Margaret's Parish, King William County, VA. Fragments of a lease and release executed by Martin Davenport identify his residence as of 1721. (Source: John Scott Davenport, 'The Pamunkey Davenport Chronicles'). |
| Note | 24 Mar 1724 | A survey of land at this time for one Captain Thomas Carr located that tract by reference to land of Martin Davenport along the North Anna River in Hanover County. That land wasn't patented to Davenport at the time but must have been surveyed and marked in order to be used as a benchmark for someone else's survey. (Source: John Scott Davenport's 'Pamunkey Davenport Chronicles'). |
| Residence | 7 Feb 1726/27 | On 7 Feb 1726/27, Martin Davenport Sr. lived at Hanover County, VA. Martin Davenport's patent for 400 acres along the south side of the North Anna River was issued. (Source: John Scott Davenport's 'Pamunkey Davenport Chronicles'). |
| Will | 24 May 1735 | He left a will on 24 May 1735 at St. Martin's Parish, Hanover County, VA. Martin Davenport executed his will in Hanover County. (Source: John Scott Davenport's 'Pamunkey Davenport Chronicles') The will only named five sons and did not leave property to all of them (several were contingent beneficiaries only). This strongly suggests that other arrangements had been made during Martin's lifetime for other older children and the children benefiting from the will were only his youngest. |
| Death | b 2 Oct 1735 | He died b 2 Oct 1735 at Hanover County, VA. Martin's will was executed on May 24th 1735 and offered for probate on October 2 1735. |

| Note | Research into the descendants of William and Ann Gambill Baker is ongoing and has not been fully verified as yet. Nonetheless, DNA evidence as of 2007 certainly establishes that Adam Jackson Baker is in fact descended from Thomas (and Dorothy Davenport) Baker through one of their sons; the circumstantial evidence is also strong that William is the most likely candidate. | |

| Note | Richard's name appears in some accounts, particularly those relying on Elma Baker's The Rugged Trail as "Ruben" or "Rubin" or "Reuben." This is clearly incorrect. David Baker's pension application, in which he names the brother who died at the Battle of Trenton, quite clearly identifies that brother as Richard. The handwriting may be misunderstood by those unfamiliar with early script; however, the last letter is without question a "D". | |
| Birth | 23 Dec 1753 | Richard Baker, son of Thomas Baker and Dorothy Davenport, was born on 23 Dec 1753 at Culpeper County, VA. |
| Death | 26 Dec 1776 | Richard Baker died on 26 Dec 1776 at Trenton, Hunterdon (now Mercer) County, NJ, at age 23. According to the pension application of his brother, David Baker, Richard was killed at the Battle of Trenton. David stated in his pension application: “I had a brother by the name of Richard killed in that action.” Richard Baker was just three days past his 23rd birthday. Particularly tragic is the fact that few if any American soldiers died due to enemy fire in the engagement. According to David McCullough in his masterful 1776 (Simon & Schuster, 2005), no American troops died in the fighting, but two froze to death in the terrible winter conditions. If true, then Richard Baker was one of those two. But other sources do not accept the no-battle-casualties conclusion. In Rebels & Redcoats by George F. Scheer and Hugh F. Rankin (Da Capo Press, copyright 1957, paperback reprint), the authors quote a relatively contemporaneous account attributed to an aide to General George Washington, probably Col. John Fitzgerald, as stating that there were “two killed and three wounded” and the wounded included Captain William Washington and Lieutenant James Monroe – both assigned to the 3rd Virginia Regiment, the regiment in which David Baker did serve and in which Richard Baker most likely served (there are no extant records to establish for certain Richard’s regiment). David Hackett Fischer, author of Washington’s Crossing (Oxford University Press, 2004), cites a similar count by Washington aide Tench Tilghman and contends that the bulk of the evidence supports a finding that two privates were killed in action and another four or five died of illness or exposure. If these other sources are correct, then David Baker’s choice of the word “killed” to describe his brother’s death (as opposed to a more passive word such as “died”) would suggest that Richard was one of those killed in action. |
