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
