1637 on the "Rose" refers to the emigration to America from England via Holland? And this was with his wife, Elizabeth and three children ?
I kust added three sources for John's marriage and they all say the wife was Susannah Martin, married in America in 1654. The one from Family Search includes sources which is not usual for them.
Thank you for considering.
[Edited to add:] The Great Migration Directory lists 5 John Bakers arriving by 1640, so it's a very common name.

The five John Bakers do make things confusing.
For appropriate consideration, there are a number of sources referenced at https://www.ancestry.com/family-tree/person/tree/58190792/person/34487550794/facts. In fact, five marriages and many children of a John Baker born on 30 Nov 1634 are referenced. One of the five wives is Susannah Martin who you previously clarified was married to a different John Baker.
Additional item in the Ancestery.com tree: Purportedly John Baker (1634–1695) and Joanna Joan Swift (1640–1663) had a child Thomas Baker (1671-1727). If Joanna died in 1663, it is clear that she didn't give birth to Thomas about eight years after her death. But then who was Thomas' mother and from which John Baker was he born?
Perhaps the sources indicated will help in clarifying the five John Bakers and in more fully developing the profile.

Also, John Annable (abt.1649-1716) had a daughter, Mary (Annable) Baker (1684-1762) who may have been the mother of Thomas Baker (abt.1710-abt.1772) and who married another Thomas Baker.
I believe the Ancestry Tree is conflated.
