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.]

The Wentworth Genealogy
By John Wentworth
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.

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]

* 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.
