Among the heroes and sufferers BAKER of the Massacre of Wyoming, Pennsylvania, the most dastardly and inhuman event connected with the history of the American revolution, the names of Jere- miah Baker and Jedediah and Rufus Stephens stand conspicuous. Wyoming Valley had been settled by pioneers from Connecticut, and the territory was claimed to be a part of that state and was governed by the legislature, which by act changed the name from Wyom- ing to Westmoreland county, Connecticut. This settlement contributed two "independent companies" and some smaller detachments to the Continental army of 1777. These inde- pendent companies were commanded by Cap- tain Robert Durkee and Captain Samuel Ran- som. and both these officers after the consoli- dation of the companies into the regular line gave up their lives in the massacre of July 3, 1778, when settlers and settlements were alike swept as it were off the earth so far as local habitation was their earth, and they largely found new homes in the adjoining state of New York. On the rolls of Captain Simon Spaulding's "Independent Company of Wyom- ing" we find the name of Jeremiah Baker as a private, that roll being dated March 15, 1779, then two companies as originally commanded by Captains Durkee and Ransom, having be- fore their death been consolidated and placed under the command of Captain Spaulding, a lieutenant in the company of Captain Ransom, Lieutenant Asa Stephens and Rufus Stephens, private, were also killed, and the record as- sures us that Jeremiah Baker did not desert his place in the ranks even after the capture

of his wife and children ( who were fortunately rescued), but continued loyally at his post while so many, with far less excuse, made the care of homeless families and the terrible suf- ferings they had undergone the excuse for abandoning the ranks. Richard Crosby, Jede- ‹liah Stephens and Jeremiah Baker after the war became neighbors, and their children near relatives in Steuben county, and their descend- ants were prominent factors in the rehabilita- tion of the smitten tier of counties of New York adjoining Pennsylvania after the terms of peace were declared.

About the middle of the seventeenth century the Bakers came to this country from England, and the father of Timothy (see forward), William and Jeremiah settled in Connecticut. (I) Timothy Baker, first American ancestor of whom we have definite information, married Hannah Candy, and they were the parents of three sons: Jeremiah, see forward; William, died childless; a third supposed to have been taken by Indians.

(II) Jeremiah, eldest son of Timothy and Hannah (Candy) Baker, was born in Litch- field, or possibly Canaan, Connecticut, and died about 1824. He resided with his family in the Wyoming Valley, and during the massacre his family were alone, he being in the army, and the British and Indians burned his buildings in the general destruction of the entire habita- tions of the valley; his wife and children escaped death by favor of their captors, and were soon after rescued by the determined Americans and found safely at Tioga Plain (or Point), from whence they removed to Canisteo, New York, by boat and canoe, in the fall of 1790. Jeremiah Baker made his home one mile above the Asa Baker place, from whence he removed to Asa Baker's farm in 1800. He was one of the seven voters, and held various offices in the town government. He married Annie, daughter of Rev. Jedediah Stephens (see Stephens). Children : I. Polly, married a Mr. Tracy. 2. Hannah, married a Mr. Crosby. 3. Thankful, married a Mr. Ste- phens. 4. Cynthia, married a Mr. Lewis ; chil- dren : Marinda, Pamelia, Erastus, William, Mary (Polly) ; Morgan H., Cynthia, Chloe, Adam. 5. William, born November II, 1782, in Sheffield, Massachusetts; married (first) Polly Stephens, born October 31, 1789, reared in Steuben county, New York, died when twenty-nine years of age at Federal Hill, now Erie City, Pennsylvania, where her remains lie buried, together with those of an infant child ; the surviving children were: Cynthia.

( III) Jeremiah (2), son of Jeremiah (I) and Annie (Stephens) Baker, was born on his father's estate at Canisteo, New York, April 18, 1791, and is said to have been the first white male child born in Steuben county, New York. He was a farmer. He was closely identified with the growth and development of the town, was foremost in local improve- ments in both town and county, and held almost every office in the gift of the town, serving as deputy sheriff of the county, sheriff as successor to General George McClure, and represented his district in the New York assem- bly, 1835. He served on the frontier under General McClure in the war of 1812, and his sons Elias and Nathan were soldiers in the civil war, 1861-65. At the age of nineteen years he married (first) Eunice Powers, of Addison, New York ; she died in 1829, leaving children, namely: Cynthia, Hector, Mary A., Caleb, Asa, Elias and Nathan. Caleb Baker married Emeline Stephens, in the east, and later removed with his brother Elias to Wright county, Minnesota, and settled on a farm on the banks of the Mississippi river, near Monti- cello. Elias in later years married Mrs. Rose Andrews, and now lives in the village of Monticello, Minnesota. Jeremiah Baker mar- ried ( second) Hila, daughter of the Rev. Jede- diah Stephens, and widow of Phineas Ste- phens ; children : Jedediah M., Orlando Mer- riam, see forward, and Sylvina.

(IV) Orlando Merriam, son of Jeremiah (2) and Hila (Stephens) (Stephens) Baker, was born in Canisteo, New York, May 29, 1832. He now ( 1909) resides in Springfield, Massachusetts. He is president of the G. & C. Merriam Company, of Springfield, publishers of "Webster's International Dictionary," "Chit-

ty's P'leadings," etc. He is a member of the Knights Templars. He married (first) Abbie M. Walton, (second) Katie Walton, sister of his first wife. Children of first wife: I. Asa George, associated with the G. & C. Merriam Company ; married Lucy C. Chamberlain ; chil- dren: Walton, Ingham, Orlando Merriam, Frederick Allen. 2. Harris Walton, associated with the G. & C. Merriam Company ; married Grace Love ; children : Caldwell, Harris Wal- ton, George Love.

(The Stephens Line).

There are no written family records, letters or documents of an early date, to settle be- yond doubt the ever-pressing query, who was the father of Henry Stephens, or Stevens, of Stonington, Connecticut. A very common tradition is that three brothers-Thomas, Rich- ard and Henry Stephens-came to New Eng- land about the year 1660, and that Henry set- tled in Stonington, Connecticut. No mention is made of father or mother or the place whence they came. In a history of a county in New York state the following is given : "The subject of this sketch is of English origin. It is related that as early as 1660 three brothers -Thomas, Richard and Henry Stevens-set- tled in this country; that they distinguished themselves as soldiers in King Philip's war, and served as colonels." In another appears : "The subject of this is of English origin. It is related that three brothers-Thomas, Rich- ard and Henry Stephens-came to America from Ireland sometime during King Philip's war, serving during said war as colonels." There is no doubt that Henry was a private in King Philip's war, but I can find no record of the service of either Thomas or Richard in any capacity." Another story is given after this fashion: "Nicholas Stevens, or Stephens, who had been a brigadier-general in Oliver Cromwell's army, came to Taunton, Massa- chusetts, 1669. He had three sous-Nicholas, Thomas and Henry. Nicholas settled in Taun- ton or Dighton, and his son Nicholas resided there with his family. One of his sons, accord- ing to the best information to be obtained, set- tled near Boston. His nanie was supposed to be either Thomas or Ebenezer."

(I) Henry Stephens and Henry Stevens are both used in the records of Stonington, Comecticut, but on the land-books, where the deeds and agreements are copied, the name is more frequently written Stephens. His name is on the first census list, taken February 2, 1668, as given by Hon. Richard A. Wheeler,

in his history of the town of Stonington. He was admitted an inhabitant July 1, 1672. He served in King Philip's war, and was one of the volunteers who received a grant of land in the town of Voluntown, Connecticut, for such services. He was a selectman in Stonington for the years 1696-97-98-99-1702-03-04-07, and. represented the town in the general court or colonial legislature for the years 1699-1700-01- 02-06-07. He was one of the incorporators of the town of Stonington, October 24, 1716. He was an extensive land owner, having property in Stonington, North Stonington, Plainfield and Voluntown. Part of his land he settled on his children during his lifetime, and the re- mainder he bequeathed to his widow and sons, Richard and Henry, in equal parts. The date of his death is not given, but his will was pro- bated in New London, August 9, 1726. Henry Stephens and his wife were admitted to the Congregational church, February 6, 1726.

Henry Stephens married Elizabeth, daughter of Captain John and Hannah (Lake) Gallup; she was born at Stonington. Children, born at Stonington, Connecticut : I. Thomas, born December 14. 1678, baptized February 18, 1693, in the Congregational church. He set- tled in Plainfield, Connecticut, where he mar- ried (first) May 26, 1702, Mary Hall, third daughter of Stephen and Ruth Hall; she was born at Concord, Massachusetts, June 1, 1677, died at Plainfield, Connecticut, May 30, 1719. Thomas Stephens married (second) Abigail WVine (Wynne), March 14, 1720; she died at Canaan, Connecticut, January 10, 1770, aged ninety-four. Thomas Stephens died Septem- ber 7, 1750, and was buried in the old cemetery south of Canaan. He was the father of eight sons, seven by first marriage and one by sec- ond, namely: Thomas, Phineas, Uriah, An- drew, Benjamin, Samuel, Zebulon and Jesse. 2. Richard, born January 25, 1679, baptized February 18, 1693, in the Congregational church; he settled in Stonington, Connecticut, and received one-half of the homestead from his father ; here he lived until June, 1732; he married, June 9, 1704, Sarah Harker, born September 21, 1681, died in Canaan, Connecti- cut, June 13, 1754, daughter of John and Patience (Fowler) Harker, of Boston; chil- dren : John, Sarah, Mary, Hepzibah, Han- nah, Patience, Richard, Prudence, Ebenezer. 3. Henry, see forward. 4. Elizabeth, baptized February 18, 1693, in the Congregational church at Stonington, Connecticut; married Henry Eliott; children: Henry, Jabez, Hope- still. 5.

Elizabeth (Gallup) Stephens was a descend- ant of John Gallup, who came to this country from the parish of Mosturn, county Dorset, England. He sailed March 30, 1630, in the ship "Mary and John," and arrived at Nan- tasket, now Hull, May 30, 1630. He was the son of John and (Crabbe) Gallup, and the grandson of Thomas and Agnes ( Watkins) Gallup, of North Bowood and Strode, whose descendants still own and occupy the Manor of Strode.

(I) John Gallup, the immigrant, settled in Dorchester, then Boston, and became a land- holder, owning land in the town and an island of sixteen acres in Boston Bay, which still bears his name. He also owned Mixes Mate, of Monument Island, as it is sometimes called, where he pastured sheep. He was a skillful mariner, well acquainted with the harbor around Boston. He piloted the ship "Griffin" in September, 1633, through a newfound pass- age, among her two hundred passengers being Rev. John Cotton, Rev. Thomas Hooker, Rev. Mr. Stone, and other fathers of New England. The most notable adventure in his life was his encounter with a boat load of Indians whom he captured and destroyed off Block Island with the aid of his two sons and a hired man. This has been called the first naval battle on the Atlantic coast, and it gave Captain Gallup a colonial and later a national reputation. It was one of the first skirmishes of the great Pequod war. John Gallup married Christobel, whose surname is not given. Children: John, see forward; Samuel, Nathaniel Joan. John Gallup, immigrant, died in Boston in 1649. An inventory of his estate was made December 26, 1649. His widow died July 27, 1655.

John (2), son of John (I) Gallup, was born in England, about 1615. He came to this country with his mother, two brothers and sister, in the ship "Griffin," arriving in Boston, September 4, 1633. He left Boston in 1640 and went to Taunton, then part of Plymouth Colony, where he remained until 1651. He then removed to New London, where he lived until 1654, when he went to what is now Ston- ington, then a part of New London, and set- tled upon a grant of land given to him by that

town in 1650 in recognition of distinguished services of himself and his father in the Pequod war. He represented the town in the general court in 1665-67, and was an Indian interpreter. When King Philip's war broke out, New London county raised a company of seventy men under Captain John Mason, of Norwich, and Captain George Dennison, of Stonington. Captain John Gallup joined them at the head of the Mohegans, a band of friend- ly Indians. These troops formed a union with those of the other colonies, and were engaged in the fearful Swamp fight, December 19, 1675, at Narragansett, within the limits of South Kingston, Rhode Island. In storming the fort Captain Gallup led his men bravely forward and was one of the six captains who fell in the memorable fight. He was buried with his fallen comrades in one grave near the battle ground. The general court afterward made several grants of land to his widow and chil- dren in consideration of the great service he had rendered and the loss his family had sus- tained by his death. He married Hannah, daughter of John and Margaret (Read) Lake, and niece of Elizabeth Read, wife of John Winthrop, Jr., governor of Connecticut. Han- nah Lake came to this country with her mother in the ship "Abigail," arriving October 6, 1635, after a passage of ten weeks. Children of Captain John and Hannah (Lake) Gallup: Hannah, John, Ben-Adam, William, Samuel. Christobel, Elizabeth, aforementioned as wife of Henry Stephens, of Stonington, Mary and Margaret.
