1790 Census

There is a John Baker shown as being over the age of 35 with five sons; one over the age of 16. This son was born before 1774, Burwell was born about 1772 so it is possible that this John Baker from the 1790 Census was Burwell's father. John Baker had four other sons that were under age 16, (born after 1774) three females are also shown, two daughters and his wife. Other Bakers in this Census living nearby were Archibald, Daniel, and James.

I did a complete search of the Cumberland County census records from 1800 to 1840 and found no other individuals who could possibly be this Bu??l, Burl, Burril, Burrill, Burrel, or Burwell other than this one Burwell Baker. I do not know how to spell his name, obviously neither did the census takers, I am not sure that even he knew how to spell his own name, the census records indicate that he could not read or write. The most respectable source available to me is the Marriage Index and it spells his name Burwell, it is also the earliest quotable source I have found with his name on it, but I will continue call him Burrel until I find a better reason to change the pronunciation. I found in the 1830 index it lists him as Burril Baker.

Burwell married Mary Jones on 30 Oct 1798 in Wake Co., North Carolina. Mary (daughter of James Jones and Rachel Unknown) was born in 1777 in Wake Co., North Carolina; died before 1850 in Buck Horn District, Cumberland Co, North Carolina. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
