It seems likely that John-b1730 or his father was the "John Baker, a fisherman of Trinity, 1758" who, in a comprehensive historical review<ref name=Foot017/>., was identified as the earliest instance of a Baker in Trinity Bay.  The above indication<ref name=Foot012/> that John-b1730 and Grace moved to Heart's Ease "around 1750" suggests that the 1758 Trinity fisherman<ref name=Foot017/> was John's father. However, the indication in the Baker-Merlo Tree<ref name=Foot016/> that their 3 children (John-b1750, Joseph and Elizabeth) were born in Trinity between 1750 and 1758 suggests that their move to Heart's Ease may have been gradual or seasonal.  Other early instances<ref name=Foot017/> of Bakers in Trinity Bay include: "John, proprietor and occupier of a fishing room at Scilly Cove (now Winterton), Winter 1800-01", "William, planter of Bird Island Cove (now Elliston), 1823", "Thomas, planter of Hant's Harbour, 1824", and "Joseph of Heart's Ease, 1830", who may have been the son of John-b1730 mentioned earlier.

According to the Heart's Ease Community History<ref name=Foot012/>, John-b1730 and Grace's son John-b1750 first married Elizabeth Rogers and then Mary Piercey (or Peckham<ref name=Foot016/>), before dying in 1808.  He and his two wives had a large number of children, including William-b1791 born in 1786<ref name=Foot016/> or ca 1791<ref name=Foot013/>.  William-b1791 and wife Anne (b ca 1795) "moved to Hearts Content ca{{efn|name=fn6}} 1815", and had children Robert-b1817, Christian (b 1821) and James-b1826<ref name=Foot013/>.  James-b1826 moved back across the Bay and married Johanna Cooper. They "moved to [[Rider's Harbour]] ca 1860 1860 [and then to Thoroughfare] and then to Snook's Harbour ca 1875"<ref name=Foot016/>.  It is unknown whether the latter's move to the Snook's Harbour area influenced the move of Johanna's nephew John Loder (son of her sister Rachel) to Snook's Harbour ca 1877 [see [[ Loder|Loder Family]]], or that of her nephew William Cooper and his wife Emily Smith to Snook's Harbour in 1881 [see [[Cooper|Cooper Family]]].

Johanna died in 1902 in Trinity, and James-b1836 in 1915 in Snook's Harbour.


James-b1826, listed in 1896 as a "ferryman"<ref name=Foot015/>, and Johanna were among (if not) <u>the</u> earliest permanent settlers in the Snook's Harbour area, during the 1870s<ref name=Foot011/>.  This timing is consistent with the above birth locations of their children.  It is noteworthy that the baptisms of Johanna's great nephews Elkanah (b 1877) and Thomas (b 1879) Loder (sons of her nephew John Loder who also settled in Snook's Harbour in the 1870s [see [[Loder|Loder Family]]]) were also not recorded in the Trinity Anglican Church (like William-b1878's wasn't), consistent with both families moving to Snook's Harbour around this time and losing contact with the Trinity church.  Johanna was the only child of Edward I and Ann Cooper to move to Snook's Harbour, although two of their grandsons also did so later [see [[Cooper|Cooper Family]]].
