We cannot prove this is the father of the Bakers listed as children.

The purported first settler in the Upper New River Valley, Andrew
Baker, was reported to have been driven out by Indian activities about
1763. This is a bit far fetched, but has wide circulation. The reality
of the situation is that he was scared out and in reality had not been
threatened, if he was on the Upper New River. There is contradictory
evidence on the location of his dwelling prior to being driven out, by
tradition across the Blue Ridge, however, it seems more reasonable
that he lived on the Yadkin River. When the Indian threats were
perceived many temporarily moved to the Moravian settlement at Salem,
North Carolina. When the threat was over they returned to the Middle
New River, which was the limit of settlement during the French and
Indian War

From Asberry Johnson’s notes and data supplied in 1916 by a direct
descendant of John Renta Baker. Also, family papers and records in
the possession of a Nancy Clark Baker, of Wise Co., VA and from a
historian of this branch of the family, B.J. Bolling, known to be
extremely accurate even to this date in the data he had, though he has
been dead a long time now, his paper is dated 1934)

From Harley Bowling [hbowling_993@fuse.net]
Many of the Benjamin Bolling descendants from Wise Co., Va., were
tested as were many of Jesse Bowling’s descendants. Their DNA test
results are the same.
===
I was on a committee with the BFA for some time searching for the
parents of Benjamin Bolling – we have not reached a conclusion as to
his parents. We just don’t know.
===
As for Benjamin stating that his sister married Old Andrew Baker –
this seems to be a myth that was started many years ago. No
Bowling/Baker researcher that I know of has ever found anything to
support this.
===
From Gale Wallen
“The Dickey Diary says that Benjamin Bolling stated that his sister
married Old Andrew Baker.”
===
To have been married to Old Andrew, a Mary Bolling would have been
born c. 1720 – her brother, at about the same time. Since a brother
of Old Andrew’s wife, couldn’t have been alive in 1870 to tell Dickey
anything ( unless he lived to be 150 or so), who told Dickey that
Benjamin Bolling’s sister married Old Andrew??? Can you post the
whole entry?
It is hard for me to accept a Dickey Diary statement when there is no
record that can be found to back it up.
===
Benjamin Bolling lived to be 98 years old, and a rude stone marking
his grave had the inscription “B. Bolling 1734-1832”.
