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. | 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.

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/>.

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]]]. | ||
