PREFACE. 


The  materials  for  this  ;;ene;ilogy  wei'e.  for  mo>t  part,  rrathererl  aiul  ar- 
ranged many  years  ago,  but  additions  have  been  made  from  time  to  time  as 
opportunity  occurred.  Records  of  the  contemporary  generation  have  in 
some  instances  been  obtained  only  since  the  manuscript  was  in  preparation 
for  tlie  press.  Tliis  circumstance  will  account  for  an  occasional  lack  of 
symmetry  in  the  arrangement. 

What  relates  to  the  fii'st  four  generations  and  the  later  generations  of 
the  line  of  James  l>aker  (i).  17."!'J,  d.  1S2.3)  was  printed  as  a  contribution 
to  the  New  England  Ili^-torical  and  Genealogical  Register  of  Jul^',  ISSi). 
The  method  and  typography  of  the  whole  conform  in  geni^ral  to  the -standard 
of  that  periodical. 

Roman  numerals  are  used  to  denote  the  chihben  of  each  family  in  the 
order  of  seniority,  ami  Arabic  numerals  to  denote  the  heads  of  funilies. 
The  exception  to  the  latter  rule  is  that  a  ^mall  Hgure  ajipeariiig  alutve  the 
line,  and  called  in  type  a  "superior,"  is  used  to  indicate  the  generation  of 
each  head  of  family  and  each  of  his  direct  ancestors.  These  superiors  are 
used  only  in  the  introductory  line  of  the  [)aragra()h  relating  to  a  particular 
family.  It  will  readily  be  kept  in  mind  that  the  children  of  the  person 
thus  designated  are  one  ueneration  later,  and  that  the  grandchildren,  some- 
times  meiitioned  in  the  same  connection,  are  two  generations  later  than  that 
indicated  by  such  superior. 

An  Arainc  numeral  on  the  level  of  the  line  standing  either  l)efore  the 
particular  name,  or,  enclosed  in  a  parentliesis,  after  it,  may  be  u-^t-il  re- 
peatedly in  conformity  with  the  method  referred  to  without  confu-ion. 
'1  liis  may  be  called  the  "pergonal  numeral." 


\VIh'Ii  so  ii«eil  it  ?er\e.>  all  the  purj>osc5  of  a  surname.  T'lion  g:iining  a 
,-li^lit  laiulli^ivity  with  the  text  the  reail.-r  will  find,  lor  examiile.  eae-li 
'•  Julin  "  to  stand  foi-th  in  mind  in  stron^^  indi\idnalitv,  a>  "JDhn  (-)," 
'•John  (o),"  '■Jolm  (1''^)."  **  Julm  (47),"  etc.,  a>  if  hi-^  surname  were  not 
I5ake'r.  but  -duiethin^  else.  In  like  mannei"  childrfn  having  no  [lersonal 
nuuierah  the  several  Sarahs,  tor  instanee,  as  daugliters  respectively  of 
"John  (2),"  "John  (7),"  "Jdhn  (•'7)"  ami  "John  (40)"  become  nvn- 
taliv  di>tinct.  In  the  u>e  of  these  two  elas>es  tU'  numerals.  thei"e  is  coinci- 
dence in  the  first  three  names  only:  Richard  (1),  John  (2)  and  John  (o) 
are  also  Richard,^  John^  and  John.^ 

A  lack  of  symmeti'y  in  failing  to  give  certain  heads  of  family  a  personal 
numeral  has  been  explained.  The  enumeration  having  (Hice  been  made  it 
was  impossible  to  interpolate,  because  of  cross-rcfei'ences  by  number  and 
for  other  reasons.  An  abbreviation  for  the  name  of  the  State  follows  any 
mention  of  a  cit\  or  toun  out  of  Massachusetts,  and  that  .State  is  to  be  in- 
ferred where  no  such  abbreviation  appeals.  Where  in  the  oiiginal  record 
there  were  double  dates,  the  earlier  date,  or  '"old  style,"  has  been  u-ed. 
In  the  pre2)aration  of  the  manuscri[)t  for  the  press  the  undersigned  has 
had  the  assistance  of  3Ir.  Daniel  W.  Baker,  son  of  Benjamin  (48)  of  this 
series,  who  has  collected  some  of  the  more  recent  dates  and  contributed 
certain  biogi'aphical  and  historical  matter.

PMuaril  Hopkins  was  the  agent  in  L')ndoii  of  a  eolonizin;^  CMinpanv  or 
association,  the  chief  members  of  which  were  Lord  Say  ami  St-al.  Lurd 
Bi'ook,  Lord  lueh,  Sir  Richard  Saltoustall.  and  others  of  inlla  Miri'  politi- 
cally and  socially.  They  had  obtained  a  i;i-ant  of  territory  wliirh  included 
what  is  now  the  State  of  Connecticut,  and  were  anxious  to  :^et  military 
control  of  the  regi(_>n  by  establishinij  a  fort  at  the  mouth  ot'  tin-  (.'onm-cti'MiL 
liiver  in  antici[)atioa  of  a  like  movement  on  the  part  of  the  Dutch  ot  2Se\v 
Amsterdam,  who  also  claiuied  possession  or  rii^dit^  of  trade  there. 

To  this  end  the  projectors  lu't-ile  1  a  sranrh  ve--el  af  lii:ht  di'aft  to  ply

the  sea  and  on  coastwi-e  voyages  here  during  the  construi'tion  ot  tlu'  fort. 
The  vessel  was  laden  with  matei'ial,  iron  work,  etc.,  suit  dilc  t'oi-  siu-h  con-

iticiileiitally  that  ••th<'  master  hatli  a  de-ii'e,  as  h'-  tells  im-,  to  continue  in 
the  country."  He'  <hie-  not  say  that  of  the  master's  mate,  witli  whom 
(Richard  liaker  heini:  then  a  yuiig  man  of  not  mneh  more  than  one  au'l

rel.ated  only  to  pur-nit  of  the  mariner".^  calling,  there  were  with  the  latter 
other  iiiit  h-ss  potent  reasons. 

At  the  la^t  moment,  when  the  haripie  was  at  Grave>i'nd.  four  of  the 
crew,  whom  Hopkins  names,  lenoiinced  tiieir  contract  so  far  as  it  pr'A'ided

]iut  to  some  straits  I  was  in  a  manner  constiMineil  to  yield  to  their  de-ires." 
Of  the  other  four,  one  (_>f  whom  was  tlu-  mastei''s  mate,  he  say^  that  tliey, 
"stickiiii;  to  the  former  agreement,  will  he  ahle.  I  conceive,  with  -mall  !iel[) 
more,  to  sail  the  hanjue  in  the  countiy."'  Oa  the  liaek  of  the  next  letter 
from  Hopkins,  dated  London.  21  Sept..  IGoo.  is  a  menioraiidum  in  the 
liandwritin^-  of  John  Wintlirop.  Jr.,  of  four  items,  one  of  whieli  reads:  ■•  .'J 
bills  of  exchange  of  oit  li  to  he  paid  to  IJich:  Haker."  The-e  iiills,  f(jr- 
^varded  by  a  vessel  sailing  a  imtnth  later  than  did  the  Daelndor.  indicate 
sutTicieiitly  on  the  part  of  tiie  pei-soii  in  whose  favor  they  run,  not  meiely  a 
desu'e  but  a  purpose  to  continue  in  the  country. 

This  recital  of  remote,  and.  in  part,  uidmportant  facts  oi  record  is  perti- 
nent here  as  evincing  to  tliose  who  will  chicHv  he  intei'e.-ted  in  this  gene- 
alogy that  tluir  common  ance>tor  came  to  America  under  ciicum-tane's 
liighly  creditahle  to  himself.  They  give  proof  that  he  was  a  man  of  gicat 
couraL'e  and  of  skill  ;>.nd  re-ources  in  the  mai'iner's  art;  that  in  an 
e.xigency  which  me'ii  oi  small  soul  took  advantage  of  he  was  one  of  those 
who  did  etjuity  by  "sticking  to  the  former  agreement " ;  and  that  he  was  of 
a  frugal  hahit.  pi'eferring  to  take  passage  where  he  would  liave  nothing  to 
pay  out.  but  a  considerahle  sum  in  [)ocket  at  the  end  of  his  ocean  and  coa.st- 
wise  voyages.  The  bills  of  e.\(diange  may  also  be  taken  as  evidence  of  a 
like  habit  in  money  matters  while  he  was  yet  in  his  native  land. 

The  next  date  of  record  of  Richard  Baker  is  November  4,  IGOO,  when 
he  became  a  inemh*'r  of  the  chuich  in  !)orchester./^It  is  probable  that  ho 
■was  man  ifd  ah(,Lit  that  time.  IIi.>  wile.  Faith  Withington,  is  recordeil 
under  her  maiden  name  as  a  ini-mher  of  the  same  church  of  •^lJ•Iier  date. 
She  wa-  a  daughter  of  Henry  Withington.  the  ruling  elder  of  the  Churrh. 
The  oliicf  was  one  of  much  honor,  and  vaiious  facts  >iioW  that  tin;  lamily 
of  Withington  \vas  (Uie  of  -social  di-tinction.  Mary,  a  sister  of  i'aith,

Near    relatives    of    Richard    Raker   were    Thomas    Raker,    his    Ijrothei',   a 

•  Appendix  III. 


resident  of  Roxbury  and  owner  of  the  historiciil  t'nle-ruill*  there;  :»n<l  John 
Baker  of  Boston,  a  nephew  of  both  Kicliard  antl  Tlionias.  who  in  dillLrtiil 
documentsdescril.es  himself  as  '•  smitli  "  and  "  mariner."  Tliese  descriptive 
appellations  do  not  indicate  that  he  was  mt-rely  an  employe  in  either  husiness. 
lie  was  a  prominent  and  entfrprising  citizen  of  the  metropolis,  and  carried 
on  business  extensiwly.  He  died  a  comparatively  youn^  man.  al)i>u^ 
twenty  years  before  either  of  his  uncles,  and  his  inventory  >liows  that  ii^ 
had  ac([uired  property  in  shippinirt  and  real  estate  amounting  to  £7".)'J,  a 
considerable  estate  for  that  peiiod. 

It  does  not  appear  of  locord  that  Richard  Baker  assi::.ted  in  sailinrr  the 
Bachelor  coastwise,  but  his  contract  reipiir.ed  him  to  do  so  if  the  owneis 
desired.  It  is  certain,  as  ap^nvus  in  others  of  the  Winthroi)  letters,  that 
the  vessel  was  thus  employed.  It  he  was  in  that  service,  a  [jait.  at  least,  of 
the  interval  between  1  G-io  and  1  Go'J  is  accounted  foi-.  In  tlu'  lecords  of 
Dorchester,  very  soon  after  the  latter  date,  he  is  put  down  a.^  a  considt- rable 
owner  of  real  estate  in  that  town.  Ills  homestead  was  a  tract  of  land 
frontintj  southerly  upon  tin;  road  now  called  Savin  Hill  Avenue.  The 
site  of  his  dwelliui^-house  was  uniloubtedly  that  of  the  building  known  to 
the  contemporary  generation  as  the  "Tuttle  3Ian.-ion."'  Hh  mlded  from 
time  to  time  to  tlie  original  area  by  pureha>e  of  adjoining  lau'!-. 

One  of  these  additions  appears  to  have  been  a  tract  on  the  northwesterly 
slope  of  Savin  Hill,  where,  up  to  a  recent  date,  stood  two  dwellings  known 
from  time  immemorial  as  the  Baker  houses.  One  yet  )-emains.  Tliat 
which  has  been  demoli^^hed  was  in  all  probability  the  house  which  Richard 
I>aker.  as  he  states  in  his  will,  built  for  his  >on  John.  The  statement  is 
made  in  connection  with  a  bellue^t  to  this  sun  of  adjacent  lands.  Richardi 
Jlaker  bequeathed  his  homestead  estate  to  his  sou  Jamc-<.  who  lived  a 
bachelor.  He  in  turn  beiiueathed  it  to  his  nephew  .John  \Vi:^wall.  and  the 
property  remained  in  possession  oi  the  Wiswall  I'eir.-,  until  !>:.''>.  uiu-.i  it 
was  sold  to  Mr.  Tuttle.  The  piemises  referred  to  as  heiiueathed  to  John 
Baker  continue<l  uninterruptedly  in  possession  of  some  of  his  descendants 
till  the  year  187-2. 

•  Richard  Baker  was  made  a  freeman  of  the  colony  3Iay  1."^.  1012.  He 
became  a  member  of  the  Ancient  and  Honorable  Ai-tili»^ry  Company  in 
1 ''''><.  In  nearly  every  year  from  lt;i2  to  Wj^'j  his  name  is  ot  leconi  as 
exercising  some  office  in  the  town  admini.-trati(;n  of  D'irihi;>tei-.  lie 
a[ipears  not  to  have  aspii'ed  to  the  highest  station,  antl  during  only  ..ne 
year.  \G.Jo,  is  he  recorded  as  a  selectman.  In  lGlj.':>  he  was  elected  a 
luliiig  elder  of  the  church,  but  declined  the  office.  Both  in  the  town  and 
the  cFiurch  records  his  name  appears  from  time  to  time  with  tho>e  of  others 
who  were  amoii"  the  principal  citizens  in  the  making  up  of  im[)Ortant 
coiiuuittees.  He  was  a  propriet(jr  in  all  the  "  Divisions"  of  town  lamls 
subseiiuent  to  the  date  of  tiie  "Great  Lots."  The  "Divisions"  covered 
nni.'h  the  larger  area.  The  inventory  of  his  estate  amounted  t(j  £I.'j1o  1./.

law  and  started  a  factory  for  woolen  goods.  The  enter|irise  proved 
profitable  during  the  continuance  of  the  war  with  England,  but 
ceased  to  I)e  so  on  the  general  resumption  of  impcrtations.  Brinc;- 
ing  this  business  to  a  close  he  spent  some  year.■^  at  the  >^outh.  taught; 
school  for  a  while  at  Natchez  and  carried  on  trade  in  New  Orleans. 
In  1M24  he  took  sole  charge  of  the  chocolate  manufacture  at  Dor- 
chester Lower  Mills.  The  business  had  been  well  established  by 
his  father,  who  now  retired.  Under  the  new  style  of  -  Walter 
Baker"  it  became  large,  prosperous  and  wiilely  known.  After 
.some  previous  service  as  an  officer  of  the  State  militia  Walter 
Baker  was,  in  ls-27,  commissioned  as  colonel  of  the  Eir.-t  IJegi- 
ment,  and  thereafter  was  generally  known  and  spoken  of  as '•  Col. 
Baker."  He  was  a  popular  citizen  and  for  many  years  a  favorite 
presiding  officer,  or  "  moderator."  of  the  Dorchester  town  meetings. 
He  served  three  terms  as  representative  of  the  town  in  the  (General 
Court,  viz..  in  I8oo.  I-S-'jO  and  1.S4<).  His  residence  was  at  the 
southerly  corner  of  Washinirton  and  Park  streets  in  Dorchester,  the 
site  being  indicated  on  the  city  atlas  of  this  date  liy  the  name  of 
Mrs.  P)aker.  Eor  many  year--  the  estate  was  owned  and  occupied 
by  Lt.  Gov.  Andrew  ()liver.*  who  undoubtedly  built  the  mansion 
wliich  still  adorns  the  grounds. t  The  lan<l  was  lioui^ht  by  Oliver  ill

the  settlement  of  the  estate  of  James  T.aker  (2:)).  The  data  relied  on  in  deter- 
minin.ix  its  antinuity  are  in  part  the  records  of  deeds  and  of  probate.  one 
evidence  of  its  antiijuity  is  its  plan  and  style  of  construction,  which  corr>spond 
to  otlier  dwellings  of  the  earliest  sreneration.  The  roof  of  the  house  was  of  the 
garabrel  shape  in  front,  and  to  the  rear  it  made  a  long  slope,  tlie  northerly  eaves 
being  scarcely  more  than  >ix  feet  luL'h.  Tlie  dimensions  of  the  iiT<iund  pian.  as

being  the  front  and  the  latter  the  side.  The  lirst  tloor  a\  as  divided  into  four 
spacious  rooms,  and  the  attic  had  two  moderate  sized  Ioav  ceiled  chambers,  the 
space  iu  the  rear  of  these  being  uulinL-^heLl.
