E .; was ordained in the year 1712, assistant to the reverend and valuable Mr. Daniel Gooken, late pastor of this church. HIc married two worthy

and virtuous gentlewomen. The first was Mrs. Mary Quincy, of Braintree, by whom he had one daughter, yet surviving ; the other Mrs. Rebecca Smith, of Boston, now his mournful widow, by whom he had several children, one of which only survives. He was a gentleman of bright natural parts, much improved by acquired knowledge, very pathetical in prayer, orthodox and powerful in preaching, tender of his flock and congregation, having always the cause of God and religion much at heart. His church increased greatly under his ministry. He was exercised with much afflic- tion, under which his patience and resignation were very signal, and notwithstand- ing which, he was very pleasant and affable in conversation. In his latter years he has been attended with uncommon indisposition of body, which, growing upon him, frequently interrupted him in, and sometimes wholly incapacitated him for, his work ; and at length had so much the mastery of him, as entirely to deprive him of the power of speech some days before his death. As he was much esteemed and beloved by his people in his life, so his death is much lamented by them and all that knew him. He was decently interred the 17th instant."
The following extract from the Gen. Court records is illustrative of the care shown for his family : -
" Veneus Die, 28 January, A. D., 1731. A petition of Rebecca Baker, widow, and relict of the Reverend Mr. Daniel Baker, late of Sherborn, in the county of Middlesex, clerk, deceased, in behalf of herself, and as guardian to the said de- ceased's daughter Rebecca, a minor, and of Edmund Quincy, Esq., guardian and next friend to Elizabeth, a minor, another of the said deceased's daughters, praying that they may have liberty (under such restrictions as are necessary and have been usual in such cases) to make sale of all or so much of the said deceased's real estate, as the Court, or such person or persons as they shall appoint, shall judge proper, for reasons mentioned. Passed in Council, viz. : In Council, January 6, 1731. Read, and ordered, that the prayer of this petition be granted, and that Edmund Quincy, Esq., with such as shall be joined by the honourable House of Representa- tives, be and hereby are appointed trustees for the widow and children of the Rev- erend Mr. Daniel Baker, deceased, and that they be empowered to make sale of so much of the real estate of the said deceased as they judge necessary and most for the benefit of the said widow and children ; and that the said trustees put out the pro- duce thereof to interest, for the use of the widow and children in equal parts ; the children to be paid their portions out of the principal as they come of age, or are married, and the other third part thereof to be divided between them after the widow's decease.
" Sent down for concurrence. Read and concurred, and ordered, that William Brattle, Esq., be joined in the affair."
