JOHN BAKER

JOHN BAKER


From Rev. Williams' diary:

October 25th:

Went to dine with the Admiral again - afternoon - went and prayed - at the house where Captain John Baker lived - where they were very sick - attended - the citadel prayers - this day four men buried at the Grand Battery - Lt. Chaplins men and four more ...
One of two men from Northampton in Major Pomeroy's regiment to die of disease while in service at the siege of Louisburg. The other man was Timothy Baker, son of John Baker.
