He supposes that Michael Baker departed this life in Roane Co, TN leaving a will. That Michael Baker devised his real estate to Jeannie & children. .Mrs Baker was old at the time that she sold and made contract to Jesse Matlock. He was to furnish her wood, food and clothing. He did furnish her with every thing and money to purchase the same. He furnished a negro woman. He said he knew nothing about the appointment of the said Littleton or guardian of the said Mrs Baker. He also got M V Stowe to go on the place and to taker care of the said Baker. He states that George Littletonis the author of this suit and has been respondent unrelenting enemy for more than 20 years and over this time has gotten more than 25 lawsuits against me.

(4)13 Oct 1866 George Littleton guardian of Frances Baker VS. Jessie Matlock & others. Chancery Court at Kingston, Roane Co, TN. 15 pages of Depositions are taken at Jesse Preston's house 2nd district, Roane Co, TN witnesses for Jesse M H Luffman, G W Fry, Lucinda Luffman, Nancy Estes, Benj Coward, Acsha Freeman Polly Vann (my 2nd gr.grandmother), Nancy Preston (my 3rd gr.grandmother), Henry Bogart Sr, Martin V. Stow, Isaac Fritts. They were trying to determine the sanity of Francis 'Fannie' Baker whether she was capable of making her on decisions. Each was cross examined and re-examined by Jesse. Question to M H Luffman: Ques: "did not Mrs Baker conclude she was bewiched" Ans: "I do not know of her complaining of being be wiched but she complained of crafts being put on her" Ques: "did Mrs Baker complain of being poisened and spells put on her and who by" Ans: "she complained Mr Matlock & Mrs Stallcuff poisning her and a variety of persons puting spells on her" Another deposition that I thought was interesting. By Nancy Estes. Ques: "did you ever hear Mrs Baker say any thing about agreement between myself and her and if so what Did she say" Ans: I heard her say she went into Writings with Matlock and she Thought he would take care of her and she would rather Matlock Would take care of her as nay one Else for she had an heir by Him".
**NOTE: I believe that the heir that she was referring too was Michael H Baker born after her husband's death. This Michael H Baker married Margaret Preston a daughter of Jesse Preston Sr. dec'd and Nancy Preston one of the person's giving a deposition. Jesse Preston in who's house the depositions were being given is a son of Jesse Sr. also. Nancy Preston said that she had been acquainted with mres Baker for 40 years.. ..
(5)Outcome of the above hearings inquiring into the mental condition of Francis Baker a citizen of County and State, find from old age and infirmity she has but little capacity of mind wholly incapable of looking after her own interest and from the proof introduced before said Jury. She has been in this condition for 5 or more years. It it thought to be worth $170. per year the rents of which is said to have been conveyed to one Jesse Matlock during her natural live together with some other small claims. Some of the Jurors are our relatives: E W Breazeale, Wm N Littleton, John R Harvey, Stephen Mathis, Bailey B Hall, Wm M Hall, E M Miller, S W Abbott, Feliz H Hall, John G Breazeale, Wm Littleton, Aaron Cormany.

Court considered that Jesse Matlock is the father of said bastard child delivered as aforesaid.. .he [Jesse Preston] excepts and prays an appeal to the term of Circuit Court.
**NOTE: Why does it have Jesse Preston in these minutes? She was born about 1835 and would have
been closer to Jesse Preston's age. Jesse Matlock would have been 60 + years, but still could be the father.
However, in 1860 census Jesse Preston lived next door to Rebecca Stalcup, a widow with children. In the 1870 census Jesse Preston had moved away and Rebecca Stalcup had married B. Dickson, there was a child 8 years old named Lincoln, who would have been the child born 1862. Could Lincoln be the child of Jesse Preston?....
