Notes for Isaac Shelby Baker
Isaac was reported to have been born in Fayette County, Kentucky,793 though I suspect that it was really in adjacent Clark County, where his parents lived at that time, though they were in Fayette in 1790.299 His father John died in 1803,291 when Isaac was very young. Soon afterwards, Isaac’s mother remarried to Peter Evans,368 who became the guardian of Isaac and his three full siblings.797 It is noted that the care included schooling and books.798 The last guardianship report for Isaac S. Baker was in 1818, after which he evidently had become of age.799 The accounting indicates that Peter Evans had spent slightly more for Isaac’s welfare than was provided from John Baker’s legacy.
By 1820, Isaac S. Baker appears in Clark County tax lists as an adult, shown as owner of 100 acres of land in Washington County800 previously owned by John Baker, his father.298 This land was described as along Cartwright’s Creek and Pottinger’s Creek. Many residents from this area moved to Daviess County in the 1820s. In 1823, Isaac Baker first appeared in the tax lists of Daviess.801
In 1824, Isaac married Patsy Roberts. The ceremony was performed by John Pinkston, a Methodist minister.790
The 1830 Daviess census shows the couple, with two young girls, next to Benjamin Roberts, who I am guessing is the brother of Isaac’s wife.802 In 1840, the couple with children were also next to Benjamin Roberts.803
In 1850, Isaac Baker is listed, occupation farmer, with no other household members.795 He is next door to Francis Roberts and Felix H. Roberts, this last name remarkable because one of Isaac’s and Patsy’s sons was named Henry Felix Baker. On the other side of Isaac was Francis Suddeth, presumably related to William Sudduth, one of the earliest settlers of Kentucky, along with John, Joshua and an earlier Isaac Baker.301 The 1860 census shows the couple with one son still at home, H.F. Baker.796 Benjamin Roberts is two lines away.
At various times, Isaac Baker owned various parcels of land. The first I have found was in 1836, a modest 30 acres on the Pup Creek watershed.804
Isaac Baker died by 1873, when his estate was probated.794 Felix H. Roberts and Henry Felix Baker were the administrators.
