| Notes |
- North Carolina became the 12th State in 1789....A colony of English speaking Quakers from Virginia, Pennsylvania and Nantucket settled in Chatham County.
1790 Census
There is a John Baker shown as being over the age of 35 with five sons; one over the age of 16. This son was born before 1774, Burwell was born about 1772 so it is possible that this John Baker from the 1790 Census was Burwell's father. John Baker had four other sons that were under age 16, (born after 1774) three females are also shown, two daughters and his wife. Other Bakers in this Census living nearby were Archibald, Daniel, and James.

[Bob Baker]
I did a complete search of the Cumberland County census records from 1800 to 1840 and found no other individuals who could possibly be this Bu??l, Burl, Burril, Burrill, Burrel, or Burwell other than this one Burwell Baker. I do not know how to spell his name, obviously neither did the census takers, I am not sure that even he knew how to spell his own name, the census records indicate that he could not read or write. The most respectable source available to me is the Marriage Index and it spells his name Burwell, it is also the earliest quotable source I have found with his name on it, but I will continue call him Burrel until I find a better reason to change the pronunciation. I found in the 1830 index it lists him as Burril Baker.
