The organizer of one of the main contingents of the emigrant caravan was Captain John T. Baker, a farmer,
cattleman and slave owner who lived on Crooked Creek near modern Harrison, Arkansas. His wife Mary, in her
depositor made October 22, 1860, said:"My name is Mary Baker. I was lawfully married to John T. Baker in the
county of Madison and State of Alabama [in] ...1823; we emigrated to Arkansas in the year 1847 where we resided
together ...until the said John T. Baker left his home in Carroll [now Boone] County...with a lot of cattle,
horses...and I am informed and verily believe that after the said John T. Baker had proceeded as far as a place in
the west known as "Mountain Meadows" he, together with a large number of persons in company with him, were
murdered, and their property all stolen or appropriated by the murderers. The object my husband had in going to
California was to sell a large lot of cattle with which he had started, and when he left here in April 1857, for
California he was the owner of, and started with 138 head of fine stock cattle, 5 yoke of work oxen, 4 yoke of work
oxen extra, two mules, one mare, one large wagon, provisions, clothing and camp equipage for himself and five
hands. The cattle were all good stock, and all three years old and upwards were picked cattle and such as in this
market at the date of his departure from this place were worth at the lowest cash price twenty dollars per
head...[here follows a list of property and value] amounting in all as far as I now remember to the sum of $4148.00
… in this market. …"
