JOHN H. BAKER KILLED LAST BEAR IN KENTUCKY
John H. Baker, born ca 1795 in North Carolina was called "Mucker Jack". His brother Robert Baker, Jr. born February 29, 1800 in Lee County, Virginia, was know as "Boston Bob". Their brother Andy Baker (1812-1854) was called "Andy Pandy" Baker. There father Robert Baker Sr (1773-1859) was usually referred to as "Julius Bob" Baker.
Julius Bob and his family moved from Lee County, Virginia in the spring of 1801 to the mouth of Bullskin, then Madison County, Kentucky, now Clay County.
Their mother, her name may have been Elizabeth, died between 1820 and 1825.
Robert "Boston" Baker married July 25, 1820 to Sarah Rogers. John H. "Mucker" married in 1825, I don't have the month or date, to Lucinda Amis. That same year of February 24th, their widowed father Robert "Julius Bob" Baker married Caty Amis, the widowed mother of Lucinda.
These Baker families lived near or about the "Narrows" below Oneida until about 1828 when many families left this area.
Robert "Julius Bob" Baker and his second wife Caty and their married and unmarried sons and daughters moved down river and up Buffalo Creek to its left fork, then up Laurel Fork to the top of the flat and rolling ridge near the Breathitt County line.
They called the area Constantinople. It is now, since about 1880, called Cortland.
Today this is one of the most isolated areas in this part of the state. There were once six or seven schools on the waters of Buffalo. Today, there are not many more than half-dozen school-aged children in the whole area from Whoopflare and Mistletoe to Lucky Fork.
As you travel the area today, you can will agree that the last wild bears in Kentucky may have lived here. Anyway, it is recorded in The Notes of Asbury Johnson, that the last wild bear killed in Kentucky was killed by John H. "Mucker Jack" Baker.

John is buried Cortland Cemetery, Cowcreek, Owsley Co, KY. His marker seems way to new to have been placed at the time of his death.
