Notes for SIR ALEXANDER NATHANIEL BAKER:

Alexander, with daughter Elizabeth age 3 and Christine age 1 and his wife Elizabeth age 23, sailed from London, arriving in Massachusetts on 18 April 1635 on the ship Elizabeth And Annie.  (Elma Baker, in the Rugged Trail pages 4 and 5 Volume 2, says the ship was filled with Alexander Baker's furniture, etc, as well as that of Kenelm Winslow, and that he carried the name of Sir Alexander. They landed at the Plymouth Colony, but being a Free Thinker, or Baptist, he didn't get on well with the Governor William Bradford, so soon moved up the coast to Marshfield.)

He probably moved to Duxbury first where he had a land grant. Alexander took the oath of allegiance on 29 April 1635.

Alexander and Elizabeth had 12 children, all but the first two baptized at the First Church of Boston. Alexander and Elizabeth Baker were admitted to the church on 5 October 1645, when five of their children wer baptized, (the third thru the seventh children) The other children were baptized later.

In London, Alexander had engaged in the manufacture of cordage, and soon after landing in America became interested in shipping and commercial business and was a prominent and successful merchant.

Alexander bought a homestead in Boston on Boltt's Lane, which is Winter Street today; his widow sold it to her son-in-law John Alger. It bound to the rear on John Wampass, the Indian, which today is the site of St. Paul's Cathedral on Tremont Street in Boston.

 

"Immagrant Ancestors", edited by Frederick Adams Virkus, pub. byGenealogical Publishing Co., page 9 states "He was a proprietor of Gloucester, before 1642; removed to Boston, where he was a rope and collar maker, admitted to Boston Church with wife, Oct 4 1645, when his first 7 children were baptized; freeman, May 6, 1646

Upon discharge the brothers went to their mother's home in what was then Burke County, North Carolina, later was Yancy County. Later David bought some land and here they were among the first white people to settle in that part of North Carolina. Bakersville was named for them. There was a dedication of a monument and marker to the memory of Corporal David Baker 1749-1838: Founder of Bakersville, North Carolina at the Bakersville Old Town Cemetery, by the Daughters of the American Revolution on July 19th 1964.

 

In the yard of the old hotel in Bakersville, is the old Baker Spring, which is the site that David built his first log cabin and trading post in 1790.

 

David was with Washington's Army at the Battle of White Plains. Other battles he participated in was Trenton, the Battle of Princeton, Brandywine and Germantown.

 

In my files I have a copy of David Bakers last will and testament and his pension application.
