| Notes |
- [Gunsmiths of Lancaster County]
by James Biser Whiskers, 1976
Caleb Baker, gunsmith. On April 14, 1724, Robert Baker, father of Caleb, acquired 250 acres on Pequea Creek, in what is now Lancaster County. Robert died intestate. On 17 February 1738 John Cunningham was appointed the Lancaster County Orphan's Court to administer Robert's estate and on 23 October 1739 granted the land to Caleb Baker. Caleb transferred the land to Jacob Good of Conestoga Township, Lancaster County, on 12 October 1748. (Deed Book B, p. 577) Caleb Baker reportedly worked in his father's gun shop at the confluence of the Susquehanna River and Pequea Creek, from 1719 through 1741.
[Tennessee Cousins]
REV. FINIS EWING, of DICKSON COUNTY, TENNESSEE, one of the organizers of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church at the home of SAMUEL McADOO in 1810, was the son of ROBERT EWING, of BEDFORD COUNTY, VIRGINIA, who married MARY BAKER, the daughter of CALEB BAKER, of Prince Edward County, Virginia and settled in BEDFORD COUNTY near the "peaks of Otter".
Three of the brothers of CALEB BAKER who was the grandfather of REV. FINIS EWING, married sisters of ROBERT THOMPSON (the first man killed in the war with the Regulators in North Carolina ) whose children - several of them at least, came to DAVIDSON COUNTY, when Dickson County was a part of the same county. These were SAMUEL, ROBERT and DOUGLAS BAKER, who married ELIZABETH, MARY and JANE THOMPSON, respectively.
