Hello, my name is David and I am new to the forum. Aaron Baker (born 1793) was my 4th great-grandfather, I'm descended from his son Edward John Baker, born in 1845. Edward's son Fred Baker left England and "jumped ship", i.e., deserted the Royal Navy in Victoria, Canada, around 1890, and made his way to Seattle. Edward (his father) died there, I suspect he came out there to live with Fred (or stay with him) as Fred could not return to the UK without being prosecuted.
But I digress... I would like to know if anyone has made the connection between Aaron born in 1793 and the Aaron Baker who was born in 1757, and if so, what the senior Aaron's occupation might have been. Also would like to find out if Hannah (Edward's mother, Aaron Jr's second or third wife) is related to THAT Admiral Nelson. Only source I have says she was the daughter of the Rev. Suckling Nelson, brother of Horatio. Thanks for reading this very long-winded e-mail and any help or information is very much appreciated!
