In 1952, my Grandfather, Charles O. Baker, died. In helping my Grandmother Baker complete the memorial book from the funeral home I found it contained a family tree. That was when I discovered the Bakers. I immediately started asking questions not only of my Grandmother but also of the other older members of the family. Somehow I had enough sense to keep notes. That was the beginning of the adventure searching for the Baker family. Over the years I made several attempts to start a book but for one reason or another gave up. This time I stuck to it. So here it is - our Baker family, the Descendents of Peter and Mary Baker of Springhill Township, Fayette County, Pennsylvania. THANKS I want to thank each and everyone for the information or photographs that you have supplied in the preparation of this book. I would like to extend special thanks to the following, who went to extraordinary lengths to assist me: Edna Baker, Marcelene Baker, Edith Bixler, Carol Doss, Violet Frum, Sharon Groves, Lela Hoard, Ann and Steve Hopkins, Jean and Jim Hopkins, Shirlene Korzun, Joe and Wilma Kromeich, Isabel Lawrence, Pauline McKean, Rosalie O'Donnell, Lois Sanetrik, Annabelle Scott, Janice Cale Sisler, Harry Taylor, Joan Taylor,and Patricia Wilson.. I hope I did not leave anyone out. Thanks to you all! I also want to recognize some the "old timers" who have passed on and who were a great help to me in my early years of research: Dan Baker, Ed "Spetty" Baker, Sylvia Baker, Myrtie Dunham, Chuck Dunham, Lyle Brooks, Earl and Nellie Deffenbaugh, Lola and Don McCann, Marge Farquhar, Nella Hamilton, and Robert P. Stevenson. If you find any errors, or have any additions to this book, please contact me, Gordon C. Baker, 126 South Adams Street, Rockville, Md. 20850-2324. HOW THIS BOOK WORKS This book is divided into six parts covering the largest branches of the family. Each part will have a family chart so you can connect everyone together. Under each part will be a chapter for each of their children. Each chapter will be about that child and all their known descendants.

PART VIII STORIES 268 Family Stories and Tales, Church, School, Politics, Life on the Farm APPENDIX 287 BIBLIOGRAPHY 323 INDEX 325 INTRODUCTION GERMAN'S ON THE MARYLAND FRONTIER According to Dieter Cunz, in his book, The Maryland Germans A History, "the history of Western Maryland began in the year 1732." Prior to that time the "western part of Maryland remained completely unopened." During the 1730's an influx of immigrants started arriving on the Maryland frontier, in what is now Frederick and Washington Counties. Many of these new settlers were Germans moving down from Pennsylvania. At this time no one knew exactly where the boundary between Pennsylvania and Maryland was located. As a result Maryland claimed land north into Pennsylvania. The Germans refusal to pay taxes to Maryland resulted in many men, living in areas that are now York County, Pennsylvania, being arrested and hauled off to jail in Annapolis, Maryland. This became known in Maryland as "The Revolt of the Ger­ mans." Eventually the problem was resolved and the Germans living in Maryland respected the laws of the province. As Germans continued to pour in from Pennsylvania, other Germans arrived from Europe through the ports of Annapolis, Maryland and Alexandria, Virginia. It is believed that about one hundred Palatinate families arrived in those ports in 1735. In 1745 the town of Frederick, Maryland was laid out. Three years later the new Frederick County was formed. This shows how fast the area was growing. In 1748 the Reformed Church built a log church in Frederick, Maryland. In 1752 the Lutherans had a church and a permanent pastor. About two-thirds of the Germans were Lutheran and one-third Reformed. The Reformed Congregation finally got a regular minister in 1753. This minister was Theodore Frankenfeld. Not much is know about him and he was dead by 1756. His successor was the Swiss, John Conrad Steiner. Inl760 Philip William Otterbein became pastor. Pastor Otterbein married our ancestors, Peter Baker and Mary Nichol. See the Appendix for more information on Otterbein. The outbreak of the French and Indian War caused havoc on the Maryland frontier. By the summer of 1756 most settlers had fled east. In August 1756 George Washington wrote, "The whole settlement of Conocochreg is fled and there now remain only two families thence to Fredericktown.. .that the Maryland settlements are all abandoned..." The Maryland Gazette of 19 July 1763 published a report from Frederick, Maryland, "Everyday, for some time past, has offered the meloncholic scene of poor distressed families driving downwards through the town with their effects who have deserted their plantations for fear of falling into the cruel hands of our savage enemies, now daily seen in the woods." It is in this area, amid all this turmoil that we first find our ancestor, Peter Baker. FIGURE 1 STATE OF MARYLAND SHOWING FREDERICK AND WASHINGTON COUNTIES.

  • Slater V. Baker and Stapleton (C.B. 1767): Unpublished Monographs by Robert D. Miller
    SLATER V. BAKER AND STAPLETON (C.B. 1767): UNPUBLISHED MONOGRAPHS BY ROBERT D. MILLER ROBERT D. MILLER, J.D., M.S. HYG. HONORARY FELLOW MEDICAL HISTORY AND BIOETHICS DEPARTMENT SCHOOL OF MEDICINE AND PUBLIC HEALTH UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN - MADISON PRINTED BY AUTHOR MADISON, WISCONSIN 2019 © ROBERT DESLE MILLER 2019 BOUND BY GRIMM BOOK BINDERY, MONONA, WI AUTHOR’S INTRODUCTION These unpublished monographs are being deposited in several libraries. They have their roots in my experience as a law student. I have been interested in the case of Slater v. Baker and Stapleton since I first learned of it in law school. I was privileged to be a member of the Yale School Class of 1974. I took an elective course with Dr. Jay Katz on the protection of human subjects and then served as a research assistant to Dr. Katz in the summers of 1973 and 1974. Dr. Katz’s course used his new book EXPERIMENTATION WITH HUMAN BEINGS (New York: Russell Sage Foundation 1972). On pages 526-527, there are excerpts from Slater v. Baker. I sought out and read Slater v. Baker. It seemed that there must be an interesting backstory to the case, but it was not accessible at that time. I then practiced health law for nearly forty years, representing hospitals and doctors, and writing six editions of a textbook on hospital law. I applied my interest in experimentation with human beings by serving on various Institutional Review Boards (IRBs) during that period. IRBs are federally required committees that review and approve experiments with humans at hospitals, universities and other institutions.

  • Literature of the Low Countries
    Literature of the Low Countries A Short History of Dutch Literature in the Netherlands and Belgium Reinder P. Meijer bron Reinder P. Meijer, Literature of the Low Countries. A short history of Dutch literature in the Netherlands and Belgium. Martinus Nijhoff, The Hague / Boston 1978 Zie voor verantwoording: http://www.dbnl.org/tekst/meij019lite01_01/colofon.htm © 2006 dbnl / erven Reinder P. Meijer ii For Edith Reinder P. Meijer, Literature of the Low Countries vii Preface In any definition of terms, Dutch literature must be taken to mean all literature written in Dutch, thus excluding literature in Frisian, even though Friesland is part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, in the same way as literature in Welsh would be excluded from a history of English literature. Similarly, literature in Afrikaans (South African Dutch) falls outside the scope of this book, as Afrikaans from the moment of its birth out of seventeenth-century Dutch grew up independently and must be regarded as a language in its own right. Dutch literature, then, is the literature written in Dutch as spoken in the Kingdom of the Netherlands and the so-called Flemish part of the Kingdom of Belgium, that is the area north of the linguistic frontier which runs east-west through Belgium passing slightly south of Brussels. For the modern period this definition is clear anough, but for former times it needs some explanation. What do we mean, for example, when we use the term ‘Dutch’ for the medieval period? In the Middle Ages there was no standard Dutch language, and when the term ‘Dutch’ is used in a medieval context it is a kind of collective word indicating a number of different but closely related Frankish dialects.

All were important Atlantic ports with bustling waterfront and diverse populations. Capital punishment was an integral part of eighteenth-century city life with the execution day as its pinnacle. As hangings were public and often attended by thousands of people, civil and religious authorities used the high drama of the gallows to build community consensus, shape the social order, and legitimize their power. A quantitative analysis of executions reveals patterns of punishment over time. The number of executions was relatively low in the colonial period, varied greatly during the Revolution, rose sharply in the mid- to late-1780s, and then declined during the 1790s in Boston and Philadelphia but remained high in Charleston.

HJST. survey Digitized by the Internet Archive in 2012 with funding from University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign http://archive.org/details/englishduplicateOOdesc English Duplicates of Lost Virginia Records compiled by Louis des Cognets, Jr. © 1958, Louis des Cognets, Jr. P.O. Box 163 Princeton, New Jersey This book is dedicated to my grandmother ANNA RUSSELL des COGNETS in memory of the many years she spent writing two genealogies about her Virginia ancestors \ i FOREWORD This book was compiled from material found in the Public Record Office during the summer of 1957. Original reports sent to the Colonial Office from Virginia were first microfilmed, and then transcribed for publication. Some of the penmanship of the early part of the 18th Century was like copper plate, but some was very hard to decipher, and where the same name was often spelled in two different ways on the same page, the task was all the more difficult. May the various lists of pioneer Virginians contained herein aid both genealogists, students of colonial history, and those who make a study of the evolution of names. In this event a part of my debt to other abstracters and compilers will have been paid. Thanks are due the Staff at the Public Record Office for many heavy volumes carried to my desk, and for friendly assistance. Mrs. William Dabney Duke furnished valuable advice based upon her considerable experience in Virginia research. Mrs .Olive Sheridan being acquainted with old English names was especially suited to the secretarial duties she faithfully performed.
