It appears that some or all of his children were born in TN. A couple of them married in IL, though. Did William Baker and his other children move to IL after Matilda married William Hinds?
--
possible parents (from genforum):
Isaac BAKER, b. 1757 in VA or NC and Hannah HOUSTON (they m. 1780) After Isaac and Hannah married they eventually settled in the Greene Co., TN area.
James Baker, b 1755 VA, son of Thomas Baker and Dorothy Davenport, died in Overton Co, TN (Ref: Family Search).
--

On the 1850 census, the only William Baker born in TN between 1770 and 1790 is this one:
1850 census Camden Co MO p328b, district #13
William Baker 78 TN
Elizabeth 73 TN
Mary 12 MO
Is this him?
1840 census Sangamon Co IL p57
Wm Baker 1 M 15-20, 1 M 20-30, 1 M 40-50, 1 F 5-10, 1 F 10-15, 1 F 40-50
On p58 is Samuel Drennan, who married his daughter Mary.
Is this him?
1830 census Sangamon Co IL p176
William Baker 1 M 5-10, 1 M 10-15, 1 M 20-30, 1 M 30-40, 1 F <5, 1 F 5-10, 1 F 30-40
That is certainly the same William as 1840.
The entries don't quite match my William: He should have only 2 sons, and daughters Mary and Malinda should be 8 and 10 in 1830; Malinda should be 18 in 1840. They are mighty close, though.
This isn't really old enough to be my William, though. The William of these entries was born between 1790 and 1800, but my William married in 1805.

Davidson Co p70: 2 M 0-10, 1 M 26-45, 3 F 0-10, 1 F 26-45
Giles Co p24: 3 M 0-10, 1 M 26-45, 1 F 0-10, 1 F 26-45
Montgomery Co p238: 1 M 0-10, 1 M 45+, 3 F 0-10
Sumner Co p272: 1 M 0-10, 1 M 16-26, 1 M 45+, 1 F 0-10, 1 F 26-45, 1 F 45+
White Co p346: 2 M 0-10, 1 M 16-26, 1 M 26-45, 1 F 0-10, 1 F 10-16, 2 F 26-45
White Co p360: 1 M 0-10, 1 M 10-16, 1 M 16-26, 1 M 45+, 1 F 0-10, 1 F 10-16, 1 F 16-26, 1 F 26-45
Overton Co has only Abraham.
Only the ones in White Co are close enough to Overton Co, where daughter Matilda married in 1821.
Either of those two could be my William. They both have daughters who could be Matilda 13 and Mary <1. They both have an extra son. Given that William had a lot of daughters, the second is slightly more likely.
