LYNN REGIS. — It is within the knowledge of the writer that some good people of the ancient borough of King's Lynn now take a lively interest in what pertains to our own Lynn, which, during its comparatively short life, has so far outstripped its prototype, in population at least. They appear to regard us as
a sort of vigorous child, a little presumptuous, perhaps, but one in whose prosperity they may delight, as if in some mysterious way it contributed to their honor. It is but a few years since they learned anything of us. Less than fifteen years ago a lawyer there assured the writer that to him our Lynn was
only known through Longfellow's "Bells of Lynn." The celebration of our Two Hundred and Fiftieth Anniversary, to which some of the authorities there were invited, had much to do with rendering our name familiar. And then the Christian sympathy engendered by the giving and receiving of the stone from the ancient wall of stately old Saint Margaret's, to be wrought into the rising wall of Saint Stephen's, was a significant occurrence. It is true that not a large number of our early settlers came from that place ; but there were one or two
of more than ordinary family connection. It is not necessary to here speak of the eminent Whiting, through whose instrumentality the names of the places were made identical ; nor of some others elsewhere named. But it may be interesting to note in passing, that Richard Hood, ancestor of George Hood, our first mayor, who settled on Nahant Street, was from Lynn Regis. Several old names common
in both places could be mentioned — a fact which, though not conclusive evidence of near family connection, are yet strongly indicative of kinship. For instance:
There was a Thomas Laighton, mayor of Lynn Regis in 1476; and one of our most active and enterprising settlers was Thomas Laighton, who located near Saugus River in 1635. Edward Bakerwas mayor of the borough in 1550 ; and from Edward
Baker, who came hither in 1630, Daniel C. Baker, our third mayor, descended. Benjamin Keene (a later name with us) was mayor of old Lynn in 1683. In 1737 " Charles, Lord Viscount Townsend, was Lord High Steward of Lynn Regis." He undoubtedly belonged to the same Towusend family with
Edward Baker
Edward Baker, a farmer from England, who, accompanied by his wife Joan, came with the fleet commanded by Governor Winthrop which arrived in Boston in June, 1630, and settled almost immediately at Lynn, just accross the bay, at a place still known as Baker's Hill. Edward Baker's descendants were prominent in the early history of Massachusetts and connecticut as soldiers, patriots, and statesmen. [Virginia Woolf writes in her memoirs (Family Flash-Backs & Miscellaneous Memories of Virginia Baker Woolf) that Edward Baker came to this country from London with George Winthrop and settled in Salem, Massachusetts in 1628.]

pg 396
Col. Otis Baker was son of Capt. Thomas and Christin6 (Otis) Baker, of Northampton, Mass.; Capt. Thomas was son of Timothy Baker,* who was son of Edward Baker, a freeman at Lynn, Mass., in 1638. Col. Otis Baker was member of the Provincial House of Representatives at Portsmouth, N. H., 1768, 1770-2-3,
and also in 1775, when the Provincial government was abandoned. December 21, 1775, he was chosen a Representative to the revolutionary legislature at Exeter, which resolved itself into an independent State government, and elected him one of the Judges of the Court of Common Pleas, which office he had held under the
Provincial government from the organization of Strafford County, Timothy Baker was a leading character in Northampton, often selectman, on important committees of Town and Church, was called "Mr." from the first, then "Ensign," and finally " Lieutenant." The final record is, " 30 August 1729, Lieut. Timothy Baker died." He married, 1st, 16 January 1672, Grace Marsh, and had Grace Baker, born 1673, died 10 February 1673; and Timothy Baker, born in 1675, died in infancy. His wife died 31 May 1676; and 1678 or 9, he married, 2d, Sarah Atherton, the widow of Rev. Hope Atherton, minister of Hatfield, who was chosen chaplain of Capt. Thomas Lathrop's Company, which was cut to pieces by the Indians at Bloody Brook (Deerfield), Mass. She was a daughter of Lieut. John Hollister, of Wethersfield, and married Mr. Atherton in 1674. She had by him three children. Timothy Baker had by her, John Baker, born 3 February 1680; Thomas Baker, born 14 May 1682; Edward Baker, born 12 November 1685 (left no male issue); Prudence Baker, born 14 May 1687; and Deliverance Baker, born 13 November 1689, died 1710. Capt. Thomas Baker (for whom see -N. E. Hist, and Gen. Register, 1851) married Christine" Otis, daughter of Richard and Grizzel (born 6 March 1662, daughter of James and Margaret Warren, of Kittery, Me.) Otis, of Dover, N. H., who was born at Dover, N. H., in March 1688-9, and when the town was taken and destroyed by the Indians, on the morning of 28 June following, she was carried captive with her mother to Canada. The French priests took this child, then three months old, under their care, baptized her by the name of Christine, and educated her in the Romish religion. She passed some time in a nunnery, but declined to take the veil. About the age of sixteen she married a Frenchman, whose name was recorded on the Brookfield, Mass., Records, Le"-Bue, and in Col. Stoddard's Journal (see N. E. Hist, and Gen. Register, April 1851), Le-Beau.
But her desire to see Now England was so strong that, upon an exchange of prisoners in 1714, being then a widow, she left her children, who were not permitted to come with her, and returned home, where she abjured the Romish faith. M. Seguenot, her former confessor, wrote her a flattering letter in 1727, warning her of her danger, repeating many gross calumnies which had formerly been vented against Luther and the other reformers. This letter being shown to Gov. William Burnet, he wrote her a sensible and masterly answer, refuting the arguments and detecting the falsehoods it contained. Both these letters, written in French (as neither Christine at that time nor the priest understood English), were translated and printed. A copy may be found in the Athenaeum Library, Boston; it is also reprinted in the Collections of the New Hampshire Historical Society. She had three children by her French husband; they remained in Canada. Col. Otis Baker was the sixth of her seven children by her second marriage in 1773, and so continued to hold it until he was elected a State Senator in 1785, which office he held two years. He was one of the N. H. Committee of Safety from 1776 to 1777, and he succeeded Col. John4 (160) Wentworth, of Somersworth (the fourth in descent from Elder William1 by his son Ezekiel2, and grandson Capt. Benjamin3) in command of the old 2d N. II. Regiment. Col. Baker resided in Dover, N. H., on Silver Street (now so called), Christine" (Otis) Baker removed to Dover, N. H., about 1734, with her husband, Cnpt. Thomas Baker. They resided on the northwest corner of Pleasant and Silver Streets. She died 23 February 1773. The New Hampshire Gazette, Portsmouth, 5 March 1773, says, " She joined the church under the care of Rev. Solomon Stoddard, of Northampton, Mass., and removing to Dover, she there lived in good reputation, being a pattern of industry, prudence, and economy. She bore a tedious illness with much patience and calmness. The number of her posterity of three generations is seventy-two, and fifty-seven of them are now living." " Richard Otis, smith, may inhabit," is the first mention of this emigrant, and is on the Boston records, 28 May 1655. He was taxed at Dover, N. H., the next year, and was a blacksmith there until his death. His first wife was Rose, daughter of Anthony Stoughton, who probably came over with him, and by whom he had seven children. His second wife was Shuah, widow of James Heard, by whom it is supposed he had no children. By his last wife he had two children. He was killed on the morning of 28 June 1689, in the attack on Dover, in which twenty-two were killed and twenty-nine carried into captivity. The garrison houses there were surrounded with timber walls, the gates of which, as well aa the house-doors, were secured with bolts and bars. The neighboring families resorted to these houses at night for safety. Approaching the place with professions of peace, the Indians sent two of their squaws to each house to ask lodgings for the night, with the intention of pening the doors after the inmates were asleep, and giving the signal, by a whistle, to the savages to rush in. The stratagem succeeded. On the night of Thursday, 27 June 1689, in unsuspecting confidence the families retired to rest. When all was quiet the gates were opened and the signal was given. The Indians rushed into Major Waldron's house, and though seventy-four years old, he with his sword drove them from room to room until stunned by a hatchet thrown by an Indian, who came through another room behind him. They then cut him in pieces and set the house on fire. Otis's garrison met with the same fate. He was shot as he was rising up in bed, and his son, Stephen Otis, and daughter, Hannah Otis, were killed, the latter — then two years old — by dashing her head against the chamber-stairs. Another account is that Richard Otis was shot whilst looking out the window on the first alarm. The wife and infant child (of three months old) of Richard Otis with the children of his son, Stephen Otis, and others, twenty-nine in all, were carried captive to Canada, where they were sold to the French, — the first English prison-

Her husband Capt Thomas Baker, was born at Northampton, Mass., 14 May, 1682, the son of Timothy Baker, who was the son of Edward Baker, a freeman at Lynn, 1638. Edward went to Northampton about 1658, the fourth or fifth year of its settlement, where he had grants of land from the town. He remained there a number of years, was selectman, &c. ; returned to Lynn and there died, March,
1687. His wife was Jane . He left .in Northampton two sons ; Joseph f and Timothy J ; and had sons, Edward 2 and Thomas * at Lynn ; John,2 who it is believed, settled in Dedham, where his descendants are very numerous ; and perhaps others. His will is dated 16 Oct., 1685, but he names in it only two or three of his children, as he had given them portions by deeds. He appointed " a decent funeral, suitable to my rank and quality," and exhorted his children to live in peace and the fear of God.
Joseph Baker,2 m. Ruth Holton, 5 Feb., 1662, nnd had Joseph, b. 20 Jan., 1664; Ruth, 6 May, 1668; Mary, 5 Sept., 1670; Samuel, 11 Sept., 1672 ; Joseph, 25 Jan., 1675. Of these, Ruth m. Ebenezer Alvord, 1691, and Joseph was slain by the Indians, while at work in his meadow, 1675. Timothy Baker,2 was a leading character in Northampton, often selectman, on important Committees of Town and Church, was called, " Mr." from the first, then " Ensign," and finally, "Lieutenant" The final record is, "30 Aug., 1729, Lieut Timothy Baker died." He m. 1st, Grace Marsh, 16 Jan., 1672, and had Grace,
1673, d. 10 Feb., 1673 ; and Timothy, 1675, d. in infancy. His wife d. 31 May, 1676, and 1678 or 9, he m., 2d, Sarah Atherton, the wid. of Rev. Hope Atherton, minister of Hatfield, who was chosen chaplain of Capt Lathrop's Company, which was cut to pieces by the Indiana at Bloody Brook, (Deerfield.) She was a dau. of Lieut. John Hoilister, of Wethersfield, and m. Mr. Atherton, in 1674. She had by him three children. Timothy Baker had by her, John,* 3 Feb., 1680 ;THOMAS,8 14 May, 1682; Edward,8 12 Nov., 1685, (left no male issue) ; Prudence,' 14 May, 1687; Deliverance,3 13 Nov., 1689, d.
1710. Capt John Baker,* (eldest son of Timothy) m. Rebecca Clark and settled on the old homestead — became one of the most influential men in the town ; had 7 sons, viz : John, Noah, Aaron, Elisha, iSlephen, Timothy, Elijah, and two daughters. All the sons except Timothy, (who lost his life in the expedition against Louisburg, in 1745.) married and settled in Western Massachusetts, all lived to be 80 years old or over, and all left numerous families, whose descendants are scattered all over the United States, from Vermont to Texas. Elijah was the <*rand-father of the Hon. Osmyn Baker, late M. C., from A MI lie IM. Mass., now of Northampton.
Capt Thomas Baker, was an adventurous character, and had no fixed residence, except at his father's house in Northampton, until the consummation of his romantic affair with Christine" Otis. After his birth, his name does not appear again on the Northampton records, until the record of the birth of his daughter, spelled by the clerk " Chrittian." From the fact of finding this record at that place, it is inferred that he had not then fully established himself at Brookfield. He was among the captives who were taken at the destruction of the town of Deerfield, 29 B'eb., 1703-4, and was carried to Canada. He had not been in captivity long, when he with others, determined on making their escape. They had not however, proceeded far in their elopement,
when they were overtaken and carried back, and threatened with immediate
death by being burnt at the stake ; and would have been, had not some of the French interceded in their behalf.
Capt. Baker and his men, went down the Merrimack to Dunstable, and thence to Boston, and made application for the bounty, May 8th, 1712. They brought but one scalp, yet claimed pay for several, as they believed they had killed some wlio.se scalps they could not get. This occasioned some delay, and the men came home. On the 10th of June, the General Court granted 40 pounds, or pay for four scalps, not because they believed so many Indians had been killed, but they were willing to reward the bravery and enterprise of Capt. Baker,
and his 32 men. They allowed Capt. Baker's company wages from 24 Mch, to the 16th of May, 1712. — M&. letter of Sylvester Judd, Esq. The account given by Mrs. Bean, the daughter of Capt. Baker, adds some incidents to this affair. She said that the enemy were composed of a large body of French and Indians, who were coming down from Canada to kill and destroy the English ; that they were in their boati sailing down the River: that Baker, having previously discovered them, secreted his men in ambush, on the the banks of the river.
Capt. Baker died at Roxbury of the "Lethargy", to which disease he had been some time subject — at which place he was on a visit to some cousins of his, by the name of Sumner.* The time of his death is not known, but it was sometime prior to Mr.*. Bean's . marriage, about 1758, as she and her mother were then living with Col. Otis Baker. He was " past his labour," in 1735.

28. | Isaac Sheldon was born in 1629 in Ashford, Bakewell, Derby, England (son of Ralph Sheldon and Barbara Stone); died on 27 Jul 1708 in Northampton, Hampshire, Massachusetts, USA. Notes:
DNA testing is showing that Isaac was not the son of Ralph Sheldon and Barbara Stone from Derbyshire. He is related to the Sheldons of Devon, England.
- Sue Sheldon
Added: Mar. 2, 2017
Above note from findagrave.
Isaac, born in England, was in Dorchester, MA by 1634. By 1640, he was at Windsor, CT, and he m. Mary WOODFORD, dau of Thomas WOODFORD of Hartford, CT, in 1653.
In 1656, the couple removed with Mary's father to Northampton, MA. There were 12 children living at the time of his death.
The only record of Isaac in England was in his grandfather's will, in which he received L8, much less than the others, so it is presumed that he had already received his legacy to cross to America, perhaps to find out what happened to his father.
The year before he m., he and Samuel Rockwell were given permission by the Selectmen of Windsor to live together in Isaac'shome, as long as they didn't have wild parties. This house was on a three acre lot which also included a barn and orchard.
Isaac purchased this land from John Stiles, plus another lot from Rockwell and a meadow lot from Richard Sam, and a second house from Thomas Parsons.
One year after their marriage, the couple sold out to Rockwell and moved to Northampton, then in the northern wilderness. He was one of the first settlers. At Northampton, they owned farm land in Manhan Meadow, and a home lot of four acres.
When Eleazer Mather, the first preacher, settled at Northampton, 163 1/2 acres was given to him to give to people who came to settle. Both Isaac and his father-in-law, Thomas WOODFORD, gave six acres toward this land.
In 1656, Isaac was chosen to be a
Selectman. On 18 JUN 1661, Isaac, Mary, and Thomas all signed the Church Covenant. On this record, Isaac contributed to Harvard College by giving nine pounds of flax worth nine shillings.
In MAR 1678, Isaac was appointed one of the first Tythingmen in Northampton. On 27 FEB 1681, he was appointed to stake out highways , and on 7 MAR 1698, he was appointed overseer of the poor.

ISAAC SHELDON
Windsor & Northampton
ISAAC SHELDON is the original immigrant to America of our line of Sheldons coming from England. We have no proof from whence in England he originated, though the lineage developed by T. Gardner Bartlett, presented in 1926, seems possible. See The Sheldons of Derbyshire, England.
The history of our branch of the family — from which the Sheldons in Suffield, Connecticut are descended — begins with Isaac Sheldon, who was born about 1629. For a long time it was supposed that this same Isaac Sheldon was the man who seems to have been in Dorchester, Massachusetts in 1634, and that he removed to Windsor, Connecticut in 1634/1635 with part of the congregation of the Rev. John Warham as one of the original settlers of Windsor. On the original town records is a date that makes it appear Isaac was there on 10 January 1640, and owned at that time some few acres of land. This has caused no small amount of controversy, and it is likely we will never know the real answer.
In 1651 or 1652, Isaac Sheldon (at about 22 years of age) bought of John Stiles a home lot of three acres with Dwelling House, barn and orchard, at the very least, possibly other land, including a meadow lot, at Windsor, Connecticut.
At a meeting of Windsor’s Selectmen on 13 September 1652, an order was passed giving permission for Isaac Sheldon to share his home with Samuel Rockwell: "It is asented yt Isack Shelden and Samuell Rockwell shall keepe house together in ye house yt is Isackes, so [long] thay cary themselves soberly and doe not intertayne Idel persones to ye evell Expenc of time by night or daye" (Windsor, Connecticut, Town Acts, 1650-1714, fo. 11).
MARRIAGE
His bachelor life didn't last long, for in 1653, Isaac married MARY WOODFORD at Hartford, Connecticut. She was born in 1636 at Windsor or Hartford, the daughter of Thomas and Mary (Blott) Woodford of Hartford, Connecticut and Northampton, Mass.
In 1654, Isaac sold his place in Windsor to Samuel Rockwell, and removed to Northampton, Mass. where he was one of the first Settlers. He owned farm land in "Manhan Meadow," and a home lot of four acres. He was a Selectman in 1656 and a leading man in town affairs. In 1660 he was assigned a home lot on Bridge Street, which was handed down from father to son at least to 1896.
When the Rev. Eleazar Mather settled in Northampton as pastor of the church, 163-1/2 acres of land were placed at his disposal, to be given by him to such persons as came to Northampton to settle through his influence. Isaac Sheldon got six acres and his father-in-law, Thomas Woodford, six acres. Isaac and his wife, together with Thomas Woodford, signed the church covenant on 18 June 1661.
It is on record that Isaac contributed to Harvard College 9 pounds of flax, valued 9s. There were many contributors in Northampton, each one giving what he could.
In March 1678, Isaac was appointed one of the first Tithingmen in Northampton, whose duty it was to have charge of the morals of the community. On 27 Feb 1681, he was appointed to a committee to stake out highways.
Mary Woodford Sheldon died 17 April 1684 at Northampton, Mass.
After Mary's death, Isaac remarried in 1686, Mehitabel (Gunn) Ensign at Northampton. She was the daughter of Thomas Gunn, born in Windsor, Conn. on 28 July 1644. She had first married David Ensign on 22 October 1663, but divorced him in October of 1682 "because of his misconduct". She had five children by Ensign.
The last civil appointment we have for Isaac Sheldon was as overseer of the poor, on 7 Mar 1698.
Isaac Sheldon died 27 July 1708 (at age 78 years) and is buried at the Bridge Street Cemetery, Northampton, Massachusetts. .
Since his will is signed with his mark, we also know that he was unschooled.
Mehitable (Gunn Ensign) Sheldon died 30 Jan 1720/21 also at Northampton.
The records show that Isaac had 14 children and 115 grandchildren. In view of this good beginning, the numerical strength of this branch of the family through all generations is not surprising.
