* James Baker (“James-b1836”{{efn|name=fn3}}) who was born in Heart’s Ease Beach<ref name=Foot02/> (henceforth, “Heart’s Ease”{{efn|name=fn4}}) in 1836<ref name=Foot03/>, and married Johanna Cooper (1835-1902) of [[Ireland's Eye]] in 1859 [see [[Cooper]] Family]{{efn|name=fn4}}, and | * James Baker (“James-b1836”{{efn|name=fn3}}) who was born in Heart’s Ease Beach<ref name=Foot02/> (henceforth, “Heart’s Ease”{{efn|name=fn4}}) in 1836<ref name=Foot03/>, and married Johanna Cooper (1835-1902) of [[Ireland's Eye]] in 1859 [see [[Cooper]] Family]{{efn|name=fn4}}, and | ||

Both families settled in the vicinity of [[Souley's Brook|Souley's]] and [[Wake's Brook|Wake's]] Brooks near [[Snook's Harbour]] in the 1870s<ref name=Foot01/>, although James and Johanna had previously spent about a decade living in Rider’s Harbour and Thoroughfare. There is uncertainty regarding how James-b1836 and John-b1837 were related, even though it has been indicated in a previous summary<ref name=Foot01/> that they were brothers. In any case, we will consider them to be the “First Generation” of the Baker Family of Random Island. (Nonetheless, it should be noted that a Sarah Baker of Heart’s Ease married John Foster in 1807 and settled in Rider’s Harbour several decades earlier.<ref name=Foot01/>) | |||
