The Baker Family DNA projects have ruled out any possibility that her father is the son of Robert Baker. The descendants of the Rev.

Paternal and Maternal relationships are both confident based on a triangulated group on MyHeritageDNA who share a 15.6 cM segment on chromosome 1, consisting of S.C. Jenkins and Jonathan Wilson, her 6th cousin 2x removed, and J.H. Quillen, her 5th cousin 1x removed. (Jonathan and J.H. Quillen are 5th cousins 3x removed.) These matches have been independently verified by via the MyHeritage Chromosome Browser. Their most-recent common ancestors are Andrew Baker and Susannah Unknown, the 5x great grandparents of S.C. Jenkins and 7x great grandparents of Jonathan Wilson and 4x great grandparents of J.H. Quillen.
