Johanna died in 1902 in Trinity, and James in 1915 in Snook’s Harbour.


James and Johanna were among (if not) the earliest permanent settlers in the Snook’s Harbour area<ref name=Foot10/>.  James, listed in 1896 as a “ferryman”, is believed to have settled in [[Souley's Brook]] (near Snook’s Harbour) during the early 1870s, around the same time as a John Baker who may have been his brother<ref name=Foot10/>.  This timing is consistent with the above birth location of James and Johanna’s children born between 1864 and 1872.  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 not recorded in the Trinity Anglican Church, 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 to move to Snook’s Harbour.
