| CAUTION* | | John Dorsey Baker and Zebediah aka Zebedee Baker and Evan I Baker have the following CAUTIONARY INFORMATION: John and Zebediah/Zebedee are brothers, either could be the father of Evan. Many database have John Dorsey Baker as the father of Keziah Baker because a John Baker signed her marriage bond. However, it could have been her uncle instead of her father who signed the bond. I'm inclined tho think it's Zeb for a couplereasons. Evan could have been named for his mother Cassandra Evans and Evan could have named his daughter Cassandra (Keziah) after his mother. |
