From Jerry Spencer: "David Andrew Baker married Susan Rushing before 1829 when their first child was born in Madison County, TN. David and Susan are buried in the Simmons Cemetery in Delta County, Texas. All of the children of David and Susan Baker were born in Tennessee so they came to Texas after 1853 when the youngest was born." Jerry has also sent pictures of the unique shared gravestone of David and Susan clearly showing their birth and death dates. He says the cemetery if very overgrown and many markers down.
