James-b1836, listed in 1896 as a “ferryman”<ref name=Foot03/>, and Johanna were among (if not) the earliest permanent settlers in the Snook's Harbour area, during the 1870s<ref name=Foot01/>. 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 Cooper grandsons also did so later [see [[Cooper|Cooper Family]]]. | James-b1836, listed in 1896 as a “ferryman”<ref name=Foot03/>, and Johanna were among (if not) the earliest permanent settlers in the Snook's Harbour area, during the 1870s<ref name=Foot01/>.

Then, with 6 of William-b1878's children and 3 of James-b1867's children living in Snook's Harbour during adulthood, there was a large third generation of the Baker Family there. | |||
