Baker family genealogy~ Do you descend from Samuel L Baker???

Question by maxine06

According to what I have found in my research, Samuel L Baker b 3 Aug 1803 in Madison Co., KY. d 26 Mar 1874 in Villisca, Montgomery Co., Iowa. Samuel married
Rachel Davidson b 1810 in Indiana. Samuel was s/o George Washington Baker b 29 Mar 1779 in Wilkesboro, Wilkes Co., North Carolina and married Esther Robertson b
11 Dec 1781 in Caldwell, Cabarrus Co., North Carolina.
Their 3rd child was a daughter, Elizabeth Baker, b 17 May 1832 in Morgan Co., Indiana d 1908 in Villisca, Iowa.She married Isaac Newton Poston b 1826 in TN. They had a daughter Martha Poston and she married James William Buckley. Martha &James "Jim" were my gt grandparents. Now I have believed this my whole life, but now after doing some research for Baker Ancestors on Baker forums, I am so confused and doubting I have the right list of people.
Can someone help me find the ancestors before Samuel L Baker? Would appreciate it so much. Thanking you in advance.

This VERY large site John 'Renta' Baker (pdf file) mentions that Samuel & Rachel's son, Daniel Baker born in 1842, was the first male child born in the settlement of Lunn County Missouri (on page 4 of 342)

- it is a great read actually and mentions that Mrs Esther Baker (his mother) was the first to weave a cloth in that county and that Jacob Keith, William Putman, George W. Baker and Andrew Baker, in July 1840 made the first settlement on section 31, townnship 61, range 19 and section 11, township 60, range 19.
- George W. Baker, the noted pioneer Old School Baptist minister, held the first religious services in the community at private houses.
- It has Samuel L. Baker as the 2nd of 14 children, marrying Rachel Davidson and having 14 children
- this could be the original of one of the above trees (in a different format)


12
Samuel & Rachel are on the Marriage Records of Clay Co., KY
- just thought I would throw that in because I came across it :)
