1880 Census-Mom and I think this is Andrew for a variety of reasons.

Barbara BAKER Wife M Female W 45 NC Keeping House NC NC

Andrew SHELTON SSon S Male W 17 NC Farm Laborer NC NC

Reason #1: The age is close. The census taken could have erred. (You wouldn't believe how often this happens!) OR the transcriber could have mistaken the 9 for a 7. Reason #2: This census was taken at Stinking Creek where Malinda Mills family was from. Mom remembers Mammaw telling her that Andy was alot older than Malinda. Reason #3: Also he was a stepchild and his mother moved around alot. According to the census information, Barbara was born in NC had Andrew there, Martha J. was born in Tn and Henry was born in KY. I checked the 1900 census and Marshal Baker was married to another woman and had another stepchild. This could account for Andrew's jealousy and harshness toward Malinda as I discussed earlier.
