DR. JOHN BAKER.
After Burgoyne's surrender at Saratoga five hundred of his sol- diers were exchanged for an equal number of Americans and ordered back to England. They were to march to New York, but only one hundred ever reached that city, three hundred having deserted the first night, and one hundred the second.
Joseph1 Baker was one of the first number, preferring to remain in this country rather than to return to his home in England. He settled in Princeton, Mass., where he married Lavina Keyes. His oldest son was
1. Dr. John2, b. in Princeton, Dec. 22, 1783. In his youth he assisted his father on the farm, but he early developed a taste for books and study. After pursuing his studies as far as he could at the schools in Princeton, he came to H. and took up a course of classical study with Rev. Reed Paige, teaching school in the winter to help defray his expenses, his father being able to render him little assistance. He studied medicine with Dr. Peter Tuttle. He re- mained in H. a short time after completing his course, then went to Boylston, Mass., where he remained about a year. He was then in- vited to go to Marlboro', Mass., which invitation he accepted in the spring of 1812. He res. in Marlboro' until the close of his life.
