Discrepancies

There are several obviously flawed Ancestry Member Trees with problematic information on this William Baker. Many say that he died in 1737 and married in 1758, others claim that he died in 1837 at age 102 and had children in North Carolina. There do not appear to be any records in Botetourt County to support him as dying there in 1810. Other sources have him in nearby Rockingham County, which appears possible, but needs additional research. Primary sources should be consulted.
