Born in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia (what is now) West Virginia, Joseph, his brother Charles, their parents and a few of the Denney, Crockett, and Boone clan, found their way through the Cumberland Gap settling in Wayne County, Kentucky.
On April 1st of 1820 Joseph married "the girl next door" Catharine Barrier, the daughter of Reverend Richard Barrier and Catherine Massey; their Wayne County farms adjoining each other. The marriage performed by a relative and neighbor, Reverend John Chrisman in Wayne County, Kentucky. Joseph and Catharine had at least the following children: John C. Baker, Mary Jane "Polly" Baker Jones, Catherine Baker, Rachel Baker, Barthina Baker Wilson Gilreath, Rebecca Baker Corder, my second great grandfather Silas Baker (Union Army, Civil War) Malinda Francis Baker Walker, Martha A. Baker, Richard Barrier Baker, Isaac Baker [my second great grandfather](Union Army, Civil War), Andrew Baker (Union Army, Civil War).
Joseph and Catharine remained in this area of Kentucky until their death. He was a Justice of the Peace with the Wayne County Courts for many of those years as well as guest preacher (no documentation has been found as yet, denoting Joseph an ordained preacher) alongside Catharine's father Reverend Richard Barrier, at Big Sinking Church, Monticello; one of the many churches founded by Reverend Barrier.
Joseph was the grandfather of Reverend George Erwin Baker, Sr. 1867-1951 of Kentucky and Tennessee; great grandfather of Reverend George Erwin Baker, Jr. The family carried a great tradition of service in the ministry as planters of churches throughout the Cumberland Mountains, Tennessee and Kentucky.
His birthdate is approximate and based on Census reports and as stated at his death. No other documentation has been found.

The cemetery is located on Rt. 92 in the Daniel Boone National Forest, east of Jones Hollow Road. There are 45 identified and 59 unidentified graves of the Anderson, Baker, Barrier, Corder, Jones families, one Civil War burial, William Kidd, Company D, 30th Kentucky Volunteer Infantry, and several newer burials of related Kidd family. This cemetery is not in a farm field nor has it been plowed under as some have reported and the original slabs of stone are still there along with newer ones placed by the family.
