Col. Gasper Mansker once became ill in Natchez and John Baker stayed with him until he was able to travel, then he & Gasper walked cross country back to Va. John served as a Captain in Col. Benjamen Cleveland's Regiment during the American Revolution. ...John Renty is said to have fathered several 1/2 Indian children.
