Biography

Obediah was at the marriage of Reason Baker's daughter Margaret and Obed Baker the Bondsman for Reason Baker in this marriage. He is listed in 1787 in Wilkes County, North Carolina^[1]

NOTE

I also found this in the book Early Quaker Meetings, which is free on Google Books:

Many of the other meetings of Vermont were established by Danby. On July 7, 1 8o3, Danby Meeting allowed a meeting for worship at the home of Obadiah Baker in Mount Holly. Stephen and Peter Baker of Danby built the Mount Holly Meeting House. SubsequentlyMountHollyFriendshada part in the establishmentof Orchard Park Meeting near Buffalo. "Before 1807 Friends had migrated to this region, the families of Jacob and Joshua Potter, Obadiah Baker and Elizabeth Freeman having come from Vermont. Meetings were held in Obadiah Baker's home.

I believe this might be the Obadiah being searched for as the Freeman family moved with him. His sister is married to a Freeman.
