Gen. Abner Baker was born 17 Sept 1791 in Northampton MA, son of Abner and Lois Baker of Hebron CT. Abner Baker claimed lineal descent to Edward Baker of the Gov. Winthrop fleet, who settled at Saugus MA, on the south of a hill called Baker's Hill. Abner Baker Sr resided in Northampton and when son Abner Jr was about five years old, moved his family to Goshen in the same county, where they remained until March of 1804; they then moved to Deerfield, Oneida Co NY and in 1806 moved to Malta, in the new county of Jefferson NY. This was a farming family but Abner Jr at 17 decided to seek alternatives, so he moved to Watertown and hired out to Abraham Jewett to learn the brickmaker trade. He combined chopping wood for the brickyard and going to school. In 1811 there was a malignant type of typhoid fever and young Abner headed for Lorraine to get care from his mother and sisters. Although young Abner survived, two of his brothers and one sister died; she was Mrs. Oliver Taylor, age 30. Word was received that two of Abner Sr's brothers died in Northampton, MA. Lois Baker, Abner Jr's mother, died in April 1830 at 68 years. Abner Sr. died in Norwalk, Ohio at the home of son, Timothy Baker, on 15 Sept 1845. Abner Jr. married on 2 Jan 1817 to Eunice Hull, daughter of John Hull of Lorraine and they set up housekeeping in Watertown. Bricks from Jewett's brickyard were used in the walls of the house built in 1812 by Hart Massey. Gen. Baker served in the state militia and was commissioned adjutant of the 76th regiment of the New York State milita. He rose in the military ranks to become known as General. General Baker suffered a stroke and died on 25 July 1872. His wife survived him.
