WILLIAM BAKER
Born 1800-1810
of
Coffee and Franklin Co, TN

By Janet Burks jm@burksfam.net

Updated: 22 December 2009

My ancestor WILLIAM BAKER was born between 1800 -1810 in either Kentucky or Tennessee His father and mother according to the 1880 Federal census of Franklin Co TN were both born in KY but on the 1880 federal Census it shows his birthplace as MO. Therefore, at one time his parents or relatives appear to have resided in Missouri.

William Baker married 1st "ANNIE" circa 1828 in TN. She was born between 1800-1810 and died after the 1850 census. William and Annie had ten known children. The maiden name of his first wife Annie is unknown. In 1850 Federal census her name is shown as Diannah but it could have been Suzanna or Hannah. A new theory shows her name might be Curtain or Kurtin.

William Baker married 2nd FERIBY E. HOWARD on 7 Nov 1857 in Franklin Co, TN. William and Feriby Howard had eight children. Feriby Howard was the daughter of Robert HOWARD and his wife Frances A. Feriby Howard was born 1836 in Franklin Co, TN, and died Feb 1881 in Franklin Co, TN. She married 1st Matthew S. Swan son of Edward Swan Sr. in Franklin Co, TN and they had no children. At Feriby’s death her brother Dr. Thomas J. Howard of Pine Hill, Texas came and took her young orphan sons to Texas and raised them as his own. He left Feriby’s infant child in Franklin Co, TN where he was named and raised by Henry “Hack” Partin. Dr. Howard was a well respected Methodist preacher, Medical Doctor graduating from a Tennessee medical school, and farmer in Pine Hill, Rusk/Panola Co, Texas. He served in the CSA.

My William Baker first appears in the 1839 and 1840 Coffee Co, TN tax list. He resided 1840 federal Coffee Co, TN census next door to Thomas Wilson, Abner Bryan [Abner Bryant] and Benton C. Stonestreet. The 1850 Coffee Co, TN federal census in 12th District William Baker is next door to Rev. William Conn, John Wilson, Abner Bryant and David S. Long.

In Oct of 1845 I found William Baker listed in a Coffee Co, TN court record appointed to a road work crew with John Willis overseer. From the Shelbyville road at Elizabeth Willis (widow of David T. Willis) to Bradleys Springs. Others in the road crew were John Howard, Mrs [Sarah] Howard’s hands (widow of William Howard) and all men on the north side of road from Frances Rich and sons, Willis McCraw and Ransom Hampton.

Around 1852 William Baker removed south across the Elk River into Franklin Co, TN.
In July 1854 William Baker applied for a homestead in District 9 on 147 acres of rich bottom farm land situated on the Elk River which he paid $500.00. This became known as the Baker homeplace. The 147 acres was adjacent to Rachel Herrod on the East, Daniel Finch on the North & South and James B. Stovall on the West. Rachel Herrod might be related to John Herrod who received 85 ac on Elk River in 1812. Daniel Finch b 1797 SC mother was Elizabeth. James Stovall was born 1771 Virginia then resided in GA before removing to Franklin Co TN. In August of 1858 William and wife Feriby Howard Baker sold their property to a neighbor James Madison Morris who was born 1802 in Madison Co, KY and married Unicey Bennett. Later in 1864 James M. Morris sold the Baker property to Abner Baker son of William Baker. The Baker property was then adjacent to George Thomas, Henry “Hack” Partin and John Wilder.
Abner Baker sold the Baker property back to his father William Baker before their deaths.

During the War between the States it appears that William Baker was a Unionist. William names a son Ulysses S. Baker. He has two sons Samuel and Joshua that pledged their loyalty to the United States in 1863 after they joined the Confederate States of America. This follows family tradition of our Humphrey Baker DNA families who joined the Union Army during America’s Civil War.

William Baker and his son Abner Baker in a questionable coincidence died within a week of each other, or perhaps even the same day, in November of 1880 on the Baker homeplace. There were no epidemics or flu deaths reported in the county during this period or on the 1880 census county mortality schedule. At the time of his death William’s wife Feriby was pregnant with their last child Joseph Baker who was born the 16th of January 1881. Feriby was a member in good standing of the Alto Methodist Church which reported her death Feb 1881 in the church minutes but did not list the cause as childbirth. Neither William Baker nor Abner Baker are listed in this church roll so the Baker’s were probably of another church denomination while residing in Franklin Co, TN. The William Baker home (photo in picture section of this website) was torn down after 1996 by the Morris family who bought this property from Thursie Partin’s estate but the old water well is still standing.

William Baker and Feriby Howard Baker are buried on the Baker homestead behind their house now called “Baker–Partin” cemetery with rock sandstone markers. These stones at one time had hand written information now gone by time and weather. Two large stones appear to mark the location of William Baker and probably one of his sons or maybe a wife. William’s son Henry Porter Baker is buried here with a tombstone. William’s son Joseph Baker is buried at the front in the Partin section behind Henry “Hack” Partin. Henry “Hack” Partin had the Baker land by 1881 and his descendants are buried in the cemetery with tombstones starting in that year.

William Baker's parents are unknown after many decades of genealogical research conducted by Janet Baker Burks, Verna Baker Banes, James “Pete” Baker and Calvin Dorris although our family line does Y-DNA match the Humphrey Baker family group 5 in the Baker DNA project with FamilyTree DNA.
