n the early nineteenth century, many people from Germany came to America, among them were the Bakers. Grandfather Baumgarten also planned to come to America, and went with the others to Hamburg, Germany, the place of embarkation. They were robbed of most of their money, however, and were left with only enough passage for the couple and three small children. Grandfather told the young couple to go on to America and he would return to Amsterdam, for, said he: "You have your lives before you and l think that is best for you". So they took voyage to Lancaster, Pennsylvania accompanied by their two sons and a small daughter Elizabeth. Elizabeth became very ill and the family became fearful that she might die and have to be buried at sea, but she improved and was able to continue the trip with them.(Src: "My Memoirs" by Laura Josephine Burks, grand-daughter of Christian Baker, Sr.)
