==Early years==
Moseley Baker was born September 20, 1802 in Norfolk, Virginia, to Horace Baker and Rebecca Moseley.〔Cutrer, ''Handbook of Texas''〕 He moved to Montgomery, Alabama as a young man. There he became a lawyer, and was also the founder and first editor of the ''Montgomery Advertiser''.〔Moore (2004), p. 31.〕 He was elected to the Alabama State Legislature in 1829 and was elected Speaker of the House.〔
Baker lived above his means and soon found himself deeply in debt. In 1832 he was arrested for defrauding the Bank of Alabama. He soon escaped and made his way to Mexican Texas.〔 He arrived in San Felipe de Austin with only $1 in his pocket. After borrowing $10 from another resident, he opened his own law practice.〔
Baker, his wife, and their daughter moved to Liberty in March 1835. In October he was granted land in Lorenzo de Zavala's colony on Galveston Bay.〔
