«i»That Martha, Hiram, John and Betsey were siblings is an assumption on my part and is based on circumstantial evidence as follows:

1) Ira and Emaline HOWERTON were brother and sister.

2) Ira HOWERTON married Betsey BAKER on 11-June-1839 in Grainger,TN.

3) Emaline HOWERTON married John BAKER in 1837 in Grainger,TN. William HOLLINGSWORTH, husband of Martha BAKER, was the bondsman for this marriage of Emaline HOWERTON to John BAKER.

4) William HOLLINGSWORTH, husband of Martha BAKER, was the bondsman for the marriage of Hiram BAKER to Lucinda MONROE in 1833, Grainger County.

5) William WATSON was the bondsman for the marriage of William HOLLINGSWORTH to Martha BAKER. William WATSON appears as a Head of Family on same page as Martin BAKER in the 1830 US Federal Census (Grainger, TN). That is, William WATSON and Martin BAKER were close neighbors.

6) Anna PARKER, now remarried, (1st husband, a HOLLINGSWORTH, deceased), mother of William HOLLINGSWORTH, appears as a Head of Family on same page as Martin BAKER in the 1830 US Federal Census (Grainger, TN). That is, Anna PARKER and Martin BAKER were close neighbors.

7) Hiram BAKER, husband of Lucinda MONROE and speculative son of Martin & Sophia, had a daughter, also named Sophia. Hiram & Lucinda also had a son, William Martin BAKER (1836-1909). That is, Hiram & Lucinda named two of their children after Hiram's speculative mother and father. Census records place both Hiram & Lucinda and son, William Martin Baker & wife Sarah, in Union County.

8) Census records for Martha BAKER, daughter of Martin & Sophia, show that both of her parents were born in NC, which is consistent with census records for Martin (b 1793) and his wife, Sophia (b 1792).
