Kentucky: A History of the State, Perrin, Battle & Kniffin, 2nd ed., 1885, Webster Co.
JAMES BAKER was born January 8, 1816, in Hopkins, now Webster County Ky., a son of Miles and Fannie (Jenkins) Baker, natives of North Carolina. About 1803 his parents immigrated to Christian County where they remained five or six years, after which they removed to Hopkins County. The father died in January, 1870, aged eighty-four years, and the mother in 1872, at the age of eighty-four years. James was reared on his father's farm, and at the age of twenty years assumed charge of the farm, and raised one crop. The following year he bought 150 acres, and continued farming. He kept adding other lands until he owned 1,000 acres, part ofwhich he has divided among his children. He now owns 241 acres of well-improved land. He was married, in 1835, to Sarah Price, of Hopkins County, who died in 1864. This union has been blessed with eleven children, six of whom are now living - five sons and one daughter. Mr. Baker is a life-long member of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church.
