BAKER FAMILIES.
Alexander Baker, the common ancestor of a numerous progeny, was born in London, England, about 1607. He sailed from London in the ship Elizabeth and Ann, in 1635, at the age of twenty-eight years, with his wife, Elizabeth, aged 23 years, and two children, Elizabeth aged 2 years, and Chris- tian, aged one year. They landed at or near Boston. It ap- pears that for a short time he lived at Gloucester, Mass., and afterwards settled in Boston, where he became a permanent resident. His occupation was a ropemaker. Before their departure from London, he obtained a certificate from a min- ister of the established church of England, as to his standing in the church, and before two justices of the peace took the oath of allegiance.
After their arrival on these New England shores they had born to them nine children. Alexander, b. 15 Jan., 1636; Samuel, b. 16 June, 1638; John, b. 20 June, 1640; JJoshua, b. 30 April, 1642; Hannah, b. 29 Sept., 1644.

After this time they had William, b. 15 May, 1647; Ben- jamin, b. 16 March, 1635; Josiah, b. 26 Feb., 1655 (the last died in infancy); and Josiah again, b. 26 Feb., 1658.
