Notes
a. Note:   Now South Creek township, which was formed in 1835 from Wells and
 Ridgebury townships. Hosea took an active part in the pioneer development
 of that section of the country (Everts, L.H. & Co. HISTORY OF BRADFORD COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA. Philadelphia: 1878, p. 374.)
  Hosea came to Wells twp. around 1807. He erected a plank dwelling at
 Gillett and opened it as a public house. He was quite a noted hunter and
 active in pioneer development. His son, Ezekiel, was also a noted hotel
 keeper at Gillett. The stage-route from Williamsport to Elmira passed
 through South Creek and on the line within the township were three
 hotels,, kept by Ezekiel Baker, Harvey Jones and Asa Gillett (Heverly,
 Clement F. HISTORY AND GEOGRAPHY OF BRADFORD COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA 12615-1924. pp. 483-484, 486.)

  (THE PAST AND PRESENT OF SHIAWASSEE COUNTY, MICHIGAN - Page 35) The first man who entered land in his own name with the intention of tilling the land himself and making his home on it, and who lived, died and was buried on the farm he first located, was Hosea Baker. In April of the year 1833 he and his son, Ambrose Baker, threaded their way with an ox team and wagon through the almost impenetrable forest lying northwest of Pontiac to the Shiawassee river. Mr. Baker had sold his farm in a narrow Pennsylvania valley and brought the proceeds to invest in Michigan's wild lands.
