| Notes |
- Sir Walter Raleigh received a grant from Queen Elizabeth in 1584, which he used to colonize North Carolina. His first expedition in 1585 failed to establish a permanent colony. In 1587 another group tried, but the settlement vanished. The first permanent settlement was started in 1653, when groups from Virginia occupied the northern section of Albemarle Sound. Around 1746 Scottish Highlanders came to the Upper Cape Fear River in large groups. After 1770 a colony of English speaking Quakers settled in Chatham County.
The Colonial Legislature passed an Act in 1754 which resulted in the political division of Bladen County, thus forming Cumberland County

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