Less is known about the distant ancestors of John-b1837 who also moved to the Snook's Harbour area in the 1870s. According to the Davies-Churm-Hodgkins-Baker Tree on Ancestry<ref name= | Less is known about the distant ancestors of John-b1837 who also moved to the Snook's Harbour area in the 1870s. According to the Davies-Churm-Hodgkins-Baker Tree on Ancestry<ref name=Foot018/>, John-b1837 and siblings Robert (b 1838) and Charity (b 1840), all born in Hearts Ease{{efn|name=fn5}}, were the children of Robert Baker (1812-1891) and Priscilla Miller (b 1809 in Kerley's Harbour). Robert-b1812 is indicated to have been born in England<ref name=Foot017/>; however, the Heart's Ease Community History<ref name=Foot012/> mentions two Robert Bakers descended from John-b1750 (and his wives) who seem to be possible candidates for Robert-b1812: a son Robert (but this seems unlikely to be him since John-b1750 died in 1808, before Robert-b1812 was supposedly born), and a grandson Robert who was another son of William-b1786 and hence an older brother of James-b1826. The latter scenario would mean that John-b1837 and James-b1826 were indeed brothers as has been proposed<ref name=Foot011/>, such that the birthplace of Robert-b1812 in the Davies-Churm-Hodgkins-Baker Family Tree<ref name=Foot017/> is misleading and perhaps incorrect. | ||
John-b1837 married Sarah Ann Langer<ref name=Foot017/>, probably of Hearts Ease<ref name=Foot012/>, and they had children James-b1867, Robert-b1868 and John Thomas (b 1873), all born in Heart's Ease<ref name=Foot015/><ref name=Foot017/>. Presumably these children moved with them in the 1870s to the Snook's Harbour area. James-b1867 married Jessie Hiscock of Salmon Cove and they settled in Snook's Harbour proper, and John Thomas died in St. John's in 1935<ref name=Foot017/>. The fate of Robert-b1868 is unknown. | John-b1837 married Sarah Ann Langer<ref name=Foot017/>, probably of Hearts Ease<ref name=Foot012/>, and they had children James-b1867, Robert-b1868 and John Thomas (b 1873), all born in Heart's Ease<ref name=Foot015/><ref name=Foot017/>.
