Biography
William was born in 1675 . [citation]
Per http://pamunkeybakers.com/paper/03.pdf :
" 7 April 1671 - LAND PATENT: Captain Josias Pickes, 3,500 acres in New Kent County on the North side of Mattapony River, beginning near the mouth of a slash at the upper end of the bank where the Monge did formerly live, adjoining a level near the Morratico Indians. For transportation of 70 persons including Jacob Lumpkin (as Limken), Josias Pickes, William Baker, and Thomas Baker. (Virginia Patents, 6:351)
"Pickes was apparently a sea captain who acquired a number of headrights in his own name by multiple voyages from England to Virginia. Captain Jacob Lumpkin was a colorful figure in King & Queen County (North side of Mattaponi) in the early 1690s." [citation]
He passed away in 1748 [citation].

Notes. I do not find death sources in North Carolina. From looking at his father, there seems to be some disambigulation of the father, thus perhaps the reason this is project managed by Massachusetts.
I think I am going in circles, Jillaine. [MR]
So there was a William Baker who was born in Massachusetts. And there was a William Baker who was transported to New Kent County [where is that? NC or VA?]. But I see no evidence that these were the same person.
Weren't most "transports" directly from England? Has anyone seen evidence of "transports" from New England down to VA/NC? [I'm excluding that group of Quakers [?] who went down to South Carolina.]
6) http://www.crossedbrushstudio.com/windowsintoourpast/Vol7/baker_page_3.htm has the info of b. VA. Long Hunter - Revolutionary Soldier. BUT his father was named James Baker.
7 https://www.familysearch.org/wiki/en/Wilkes_County,_North_Carolina_Genealogy WILKES COUNTY, NC WAS FORMED/ CREATED 1778 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wilkes_County,_North_Carolina
8 That throws out Wilkes County.
9 we have 3 sources saying the same thing,: Ancestry.com, WikiTree, and Geni.
I cannot find anything except ancestry.com, WikiTree and Geni saying much about North Carolina
(sorry to have to lump WikiTree in with the above two genealogy places..)

If you have two people, neither died 1748 in Wilkes County. Since it was NOT created yet.
