DANIEL BAKER. The town records of Pownal, Vermont record Daniel Baker as having taken the Freeman's oath in 1782, so he must have been at least 21 years old at that time. He is known to be one of George Baker's older children and it is probable that he was in the Revolutionary War
with his father…On p. 88 of the Vermont Rolls a Daniel Baker is recorded as having served in Capt. Joseph Brigg's company from October 1, 1778 to November 24, 1778, the same company and service as that of George Baker.
Family tradition has it…some of George's children came to Otsego Co. several years before he did. Chauncey Baker states, in the records which Leroy Baker has, that Daniel
came to Laurens, N.Y. when his son George was about 10 years old, or about 1799, but is seems probable that he came earlier than that. Possibly the Daniel Baker recorded in the first census (1790) as a resident of Otsego town, Montgomery County, N.Y., is this Daniel Baker. The following is given concerning him: Free white males over 16 years, two; free white males under 16 years, two; free white females, three.
The first recorded dead of property owned by Daniel Baker is that which conveyed to him in 1800 a 50 A. plot in Otsego County, in Lot No. 45 of the Otego patent, granted to "Thomas Wharton and others." Daniel Baker's
estate at the time of his death comprised several hundred acres, as there are records showing that his son George bought of Daniel Baker's heirs 100 A. March 8, 1813; (2) of Nathan Baker and his wife Hannah, 100 A. of land belonging to the estate of Daniel Baker, and a little later 50 A. more, July 17, 1819; also 100 A. of Benjamin Howe and wife, the plot being described as part of the lot belonging to the heirs of Daniel Baker.
In December 1822 James Green and Asa Baker Green, his wife, signed over their claim to her brother George, which leads one to conclude that George Baker, son of Daniel, may have acquired title to all of his father's property. These records establish the fact that Daniel Baker must have died between the year 1800 when he purchased the 50 A. plot and March 8, 1813, when the
first sale of property belonging to the heirs of Daniel Baker is recorded. His wife survived him many years. The county records state under date of May 25, 1830, that Susannah, wife of Daniel Baker, deceased of Laurens,
deeded to George Baker a 100 A. lot. Early family records give the name of Daniel's wife as Anna Cumins; either he was twice married or the name
Anna was short for Susannah. *
Daniel Baker had ten children: Nathan (b. 1785, m. Hannah Wood), Betsey (b. 1786, m. John Richardson), ** George (b. 1789, m. Susan Nott), Asa (b. 1792, m. James Green), Loray (b. 1795, m. Elizabeth Lamb), Lydia
(b. 1796, m. Jeptha Baker), Hannah (b. 1798, m. Benjamin Howe), Polly (b. 1791, m. Joseph Guiles), Aaron (b. ____, m. Polly ____), Anna (b. 1801, m. Benjamin Gile).
