I have a parent conflict that shows parents being either Col. Henry Baker, Sr. and Ella Margery Baker or Captain Lawrence Baker and Elizabeth Howell. Anyone have a document solving this conflict?
Thanks,
James Davis
Major Henry Baker does not appear to be the son of Lawrence Baker who died in 1681.
Lawrence Baker's will [dated March 18 and proved September 6, 1681, Surry Co.] left his estate to his wife Elizabeth and his daughter Catherine, wife of Arthur Allen.
This implies that Lawrence Baker had no surviving sons.

We still need documentation of this Henry's parents.
His father may be the Henry Baker who left a will in Surry County, dated Feb. 24, 1697, proven July 1, 1700--mentions three sons Henry, Edward and William, daughters, and wife SARAH.
See Wills and Administrations of Surry County, Virginia for the wills of Lawrence and Henry ?-1700. Not sure if this huge link will work:

I've never seen any proof of our Ella Kennedy's existence. First wife? Needs documentation.
