* pg. 343-345: In September 1814 a British force 14000 strong invaded Plattsburg, New York. Alpheus joined a company from Brandon commanded by Captain Michael/Micha Brown, which marched to Plattsburg in response. They witnessed a naval battle on Lake Champlain, which the British lost. They then encountered a British land regiment, which fired a volley, then retreated. The Americans had only 2 casualties.

After Timothy Baker's death in 1816, the home property was sold and Timothy's wife Prudence accompanied several of her children to Ohio. Since those who served in the War of 1812 would have received Bounty Land Grants, it is reasonable to believe this was the motive for relocating to Ohio as that area had been opened up for settlement as Bounty Lands.

Obituary:
Baker, Alpheus - was born in Cornwall, Addison County, Vermont, April 14, 1795, where he passed his early life. On Aug. 19, 1820 he married Adelia Burgess, with whom he lived 9 years, when death carried her away, leaving him a widower with 4 small children, 2 sons and 2 daughters, all of whom survive him. On Feb. 7, 1830 he married Mrs. Mercy Mott, a widow with 3 children, who provided a faithful companion for the remainder of his life, a period of 58 years had he lived until the 7th of next month. On the anniversary of her 85th birthday, the wife saw the remains of her husband borne to their final resting place. After his second marriage, being then a resident of Ohio, with a family of 10 children and limited means, like many of the early pioneers, he settled in Noble County Aug. 16, 1836 in a little cabin where the village of Lisbon is now situated, but later moving on his own land half a mile west of Lisbon. At that time this part of Indiana was almost an unbroken wilderness and all the difficulties and perils of a settlement in a new country stared from every side. Dense woods surrounded the place marked out for a home, and Indians were almost the only inhabitant. On the day after arriving in this country he lost his team - almost his all - they having strayed away and supposed to have been taken by the blacklegs that then infested the counties of Noble and LaGrange. He participated in the War of 1812 in that decisive action at Plattsburgh on Lake Champlain. In our late war he was represented by 5 sons in loyal blue responding to our Union call. In 1837 he united with the Methodist Church, a feeble society in Lisbon, and upon the organization of that society in Kendallville he became a member. Nurtured and cared for by and at the residence of his youngest son, Frank, he died Jan. 11. Funeral was at the residence the 13th. Burial, Lisbon Cemetery. - Noble Co., Indiana Obituary on Jan. 20, 1888

PROF. NATHANIEL A. BAKER. In each line of endeavor, in each of the learned professions, the personality of the man of force of character is revealed. With increasing experience and added years ? the forceful individual attains a broader grasp upon his subject, and with recurrence of problems and perplexities he is able to handle them in a manner which affords greater satisfaction. Such perfection is not attained in a single day nor in a single year, but the man of parts soon finds his place and forces his way to his cherished goal. In the field of education, Prof. Nathaniel A. Baker has attained merited prominence through ability, scholarship, hard and conscientious work and grasping of opportunities, and from the rank of a humble country schoolmaster has elevated himself to the position of city superintendent of schools of the flourishing and prosperous city of Cherryvale. Professor Baker was born on a farm in Coffey County, Kansas, January 30, 1869, and is a son of Tim and Addie W. (Woodward) Baker, and a member of a family that emigrated from England to the New England colony before the outbreak of the American Revolution. His grandfather, Alpheus Baker, was born in Vermont, in 1794, fought as a soldier in the War of 1812, and subsequently migrated as a pioneer to Noble County, Indiana, and there passed the remainder of his life in farming, his death occurring in 1888. He was first a whig and later a republican in politics, and while not prominent in public life was considered one of the strong and influential men of his community. He was twice married, his second wife being the grandmother of Professor Baker. The only one of the grandfather 's children now living is one by his second marriage, Mary, who is married and lives in Michigan. Tim Baker was born in Ohio, in 1833, and was a boy when his parents removed to Noble County, Indiana. He was reared in a new country, on a wilderness farm, and his boyhood was filled with much hard work, but he grew to manhood a strong and self-reliant product of the frontier. When he was twenty-eight years of age, the Civil war came on and he left his family and enlisted, in 1861, in the Thirtieth Begiment, Indiana Volunteer Infantry, with which he f»ught in various engagements until the battle of Shiloh, in which he was wounded in the ankle. After his recovery he was given a furlough, and on his return to the front was made a captain of the Twelfth Indiana Cavalry, with which he served gallantly until the close of the war, in 1865. He also sustained another wound, in a brush with bushwhackers, in Kentucky. With his military service completed, Captain Baker returned to Noble County, Indiana, and resumed the study of law, which had been interrupted by war's demands. He was soon admitted to the bar, but did not long engage in practice, as in 1868 he answered the call of the West and came to Coffey County, Kansas, settling on a homestead of 160 acres, which he had pre-empted in -1858. There he passed the remainder of his active life, although his last few years were spent at Burlington, where he died in 1906. Captain Baker was a republican and one of the strong and influential men of his locality, serving as representative in Indiana from Noble County, at the time of Governor Morton's administration. He was a member of the Masonic fraternity, and wherever known was highly respected and esteemed. He married Addie W. Woodward, who was born in 1837, in New York, and now a resident of Kansas City, Missouri, and they became the parents of the following children: Louman E., formerly a farmer and later a machinist, and now a resident of Lamed, Kansas; Jessie W., residing with her mother, widow of W. E. King, who was bookkeeper and auditor for the Metropolitan Street Railway Company, of Kansas City, Missouri; Nathaniel A., of this review; Harold, of Toronto, Kansas, formerly a hardware merchant; Stanley, a locomotive engineer of Champaign, Illinois; and Ernpst, a veterinary surgeon of Bucklin, Kansas. When he began to teach in the district schools of Coffey County, Kansas, at the age of seventeen years, Nathaniel A. Baker was himself possessed of only a district school education, but after two years in the schoolroom as master he went to the Northern Indiana Normal School at Valparaiso, where he furthered his training by one year's work. He then returned to Coffey County and taught for two additional terms, spent three years at Welda and seven years at Kincaid, both in Anderson County, Kansas, and finally spent four years as principal of the schools of Cedervale, Chautauqua County, During all this time he had been adding to his own equipment by constant and faithful study, and in 1908 came to Cherryvale to accept the position of principal of the high school. Two years later his abilities were satisfactorily recognized by his appointment to the office of superintendent of city schools, a capacity in which he has acted for six years. -In this time he has materially improved the public school system of Cherryvale, so that it now compares favorably with those of cities of its size any where in the country. He has under his supervision thirty-one teachers and 1,100 scholars, and has succeeded in instituting a feeling of co-operation that makes educational work run like a well oiled machine and is capable of great results. Professor Baker is a valued member of the Montgomery County Teachers Association and the Kansas State Teachers Association. He is a republican and a Presbyterian, and is well known in Oddfellowship, being past noble grand of Cherryvale Camp No. 142, and a member of the Encampment at Cedarvale. His interest in the welfare of his adopted city has caused him to take an active part in civic affairs, and at present he is acting in the capacity of president of the Commercial Club, a position in which he has been able to promulgate and carry through some civic enterprises of considerable importance. In 1893, Professor Baker was married at Westphalia, Anderson County, Kansas, to Miss Frankie Hooton, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. M. Or. Hooton. The mother of Mrs. Baker is now deceased, but the father still survives and is engaged in the draying business at Westphalia. Professor and Mrs. Baker are the parents of three children: Quin, born October 18, 1894, a graduate of Cherryvale High School, class of 1913, and now a junior in Kansas University; Glen, born May 24, 1896, a graduate of Cherryvale High School, class of 1913, and now a freshman in Kansas State University; and Miss Helen, born February 22, 1902, who is attending the Cherryvale High School. The. pleasant family home is located at No. 817 East Main Street.

Timothy's wife is not mentioned. It is noted that Timothy Baker, deceased "about 1812", had a large family. He sold the first house they lived in and built a second one nearby. There is a notation in "History of the Town of Cornwall, Vermont" that Timothy Baker and Daniel Foot, in 1791, sold a lot south of Elisha Hurlbut. It was also noted that Timothy Baker settled on a farm opposite Elisha Hurlbut, indicating that these were two separate properties. After Timothy's death, William Hurlbut bought the property. Cemetery records show death date as May 10, 1816. Timothy served in the Revolutionary War and his son Alpheus was involved in the War of 1812.

DAR Chapter House in Cornwall, Vermont, has a plaque listing Revolutionary Soldiers Buried In Cornwall: among them was Timothy Baker. Although Remembrance Baker was involved with Ethan Allen and his Green Mountain Boys, it appears Timothy Baker was with a prior group still in Massachusetts.

Timothy Baker is buried at Cornwall and Weybridge Parish, located on Route 30 (Cemetery Records of Addison County, Vermont: Cornwall, Vol. II)

If Prudence was born in 1750, there is a problem with the children listed; that is, Prudence would have been 62 years old when the last child was born. Since the History of the Town of Cornwall, Vermont, lists Timothy Baker and all of his children, but does not include name of his wife, perhaps he had two wives, which would account for the gap in birth dates. However, since death records available in Ohio differ, I would tend to go along with several other trees (have not found any actual birth record for Prudence Brook) which suggest birth date as 1760, (she was christened in Jun 1760, Northampton, Hampshire County, Mass.). Prudence is buried at the Brandon Cemetery, Miller Township, Knox County, Ohio.

After Timothy's death in 1816, the home property was sold and Prudence accompanied several of her children to Ohio. Since those who served in the War of 1812 would have received Bounty Land Grants, it is reasonable to believe this was the motive for relocating to Ohio as that area had been opened up for settlement as Bounty Lands.

Timothy married Prudence Brooks in 1770. Prudence (daughter of James Brooks and Elizabeth Bathrick) was born on 1 Jun 1750 in Lincoln, Middlesex, Massachusetts, USA; died in 1816 in , Knox, Ohio, USA; was buried in Brandon Cemetery, Miller, Knox, Ohio, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
