Reuben Baker - Birth: 4-3-1718 Yarmouth, Barnstable Co., MASSACHUSETTS Death: 3-5-1795 Dennis, Barnstable Co., MASSACHUSETTS. He was a Private and his wife was Lydia Mayo. I do not see a complete list of children for this person. I know the dates are not the same, but it is a strange coincidence - maybe family such as a father, etc.

This may be his mother and father

Reuben Baker dob Dec 7, 1756 Yarmouth, Barnstable, Mass
dod Apr 4, 1829 Dennis, Barnstable, Mass.

Father: Reuben Baker (1719-1795)
Mother: Desire Gallop (no dates)
Spouse: Desire Crowell (1764-1833)
3 children (Nathan, Ebenezer, Edward)

There's a second unsourced tree that shows his birth year as 1766, mother as Lydia Mayo (1722 - unk), marriage to Desire about 1787, and 7 children (Nathan, Desire, Elizabeth, Reuben, Ebenezer, Edward, and Sarah). This is a Crowell/Nickerson tree, which ties back in to your other folks in the same area.

A lot of the death/burial information seems to be sourced from "Cemetery Inscriptions of Dennis, Massachusetts" by Derick 1993. South Dennis Congregational Church Cemetery."
