    Reverend Andrew Baker, born 1749, died Lee County, Virginia, September 24, 1815, married circa 1769 to Avant, born (it is believed) October 12, 1752.

    Rev. Andrew Baker was an early Baptist preacher in Virginia and North Carolina. He was a soldier and chaplain in the Revolutionary War (History of Kentucky p. 13); his place of residence during the Revolution was Montgomery County. Semples History of the "Rise and Progress of the Baptists in Virginia", mentions Baker several times, as pastor of St. Clair's Bottom Baptist Church, Smyth County, Virginia. Fox Creek Baptist Church, Grayson County, Virginia, and "History of Carolina Baptists" - Paschall, and "A History of the Ashe County, N.C., and Virginia Baptist Associations" by J. F. Fletcher, name a number of churches Rev. Andrew Baker was pastor or organizer. The following is quoted from "History North Carolina Baptists" - Paschall, Volume II, page 138:

    "In 1790 the Yadkin Association became a distinct body. This session was held at Eaton's Meeting House, August 28, 29 and 30 of that year. Rev. Andrew Baker preached the introductory sermon from I Cor. 1:30, 'But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom and righteousness and sanctification and redemption

    "Rev. Andrew Baker was the pastor of this new church so long as it was a branch of the Brier Creek, but upon its final organization Elder McNeill was its pastor and moderator. Elder McNeill preached for it from the beginning and before any steps were taken toward an organization, and was moderator of some of its meetings for business. The constitution, however, prepared was proposed by brother Baker.

    The Lewis Fork Baptist Church was organized from members from the Brier Creek Church on May 19, 1792, and its Minute Book is full from its beginning. Elder Andrew Baker was its first Moderator

    "The actual date of its constitution (Eaton's Church) as shown by the minutes of Eaton's Church was December 16, 1790; the ministers who assisted were Rev. William Petty and REV. ANDREW BAKER, the latter one of the ablest, wisest and most successful ministers in Wilkes County and the adjacent parts of Virginia, and already one of the leaders of the Yadkin Association."

    Rev. Baker's last pastorate was "Thompson's Settlement Baptist Church in Lee County, Virginia, the minutes of which show that Rev. Bakers wife, Elizabeth, joined that church by letter on "October third Saturday, Under date April 23, 1815, the minutes of this church read:

    "On the Sabbath, the 23rd day of April, A.D. 1815, a remarkable occurrence was transacted [Page 160] by Elder Andrew Baker, who baptized James Gilbert - in the Loan Branch, a tributary of Wallings' Creek. James Gilbert was the last male he baptized in his lifetime."

    And another item in said minutes reads:

    "Sabbath the 24th day of September, A.D. 1815 was a remarkable day in the memory of several persons, for on this day old Father Andrew Baker expired after some days of sickness, aged 66 years. He lived 22 weeks after he baptized James Gilbert and Matilda Randolph, who is the wife of William Randolph. His remains were buried in the Robert Clark's Cemetery, 7 miles SW from Jonesville, Lee County, Virginia."

    Semple's "Rise and Progress of the Baptists in Virginia" states: "Among Elder Baker's last public service was the baptism in 1816 (1815) of Rev. James Gilbert."
