I'm commenting here in my role as project coordinator of WikiTree's Native Americans project. My co-coordinator, Kathie Forbes, and I have been working on https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Baker-52864, which basically is a mythical person that has "attracted" some of the facts of this Bolling Baker. In the process of researching what is actually known and what is mythical, we learned of THIS Bolling Baker, and a very likely son. We've noted, with sources (some of which I think will help THIS profile) what we've found.
We are going to make Baker-52864 represent the mythical man, but wanted to be sure that the real Bollings were accurately represented and distinguished from the myth. You've got the father, but not the son. Any objections to us adding the son?
(And in case you're curious: the NA project allows the retention of "mythical" people because there are descendants out there who believe they are real; if we merge them away or otherwise delete them, someone will come along and recreate them.)
