In his 83rd year
Note: no grave marker could be found for Elijah when this cemetery was visited in April 2015.
Elijah Baker was the son of John Baker and Hannah Withington of Dorchester, Mass. He was married in Stoughton, MA 29 Nov 1744 to Hannah PUFFER, b. Stoughton 15 Oct 1726, d. Sharon 6 Apr 1806, "in 80th year", the daughter of Lt. John Puffer and Abigail Vose.
Elijah was a fairly old man when he served as a private in Capt James Endicott's company, Col William McIntosh's regiment during the Rev. War. He enlisted on 20 Mar 1778 and was discharged 5 April, 18 days of service; marched to Roxbury; roll dated Stoughton 12 Mar 1782. He has not been found on the 1790 census, but he appears in Sharon in 1800 with wife and what appears to be a younger couple with two small boys. Children, all born in Stoughton, but births and baptisms recorded in Sharon:
* Hannah, b. 25 Dec 1745, baptized 2 Feb 1756, d. 5 Feb 1803, m. 22 Apr 1763 Nathaniel FISHER. They are buried Canton Corner Cemetery, Canton, Mass.
* Sarah, b. 16 Dec 1747, baptized 27 Dec 1747.
* Thomas, b. 28 Sep 1749, baptized 15 Oct 1749, d. Milton, MA 28 Dec 1796, m. Sharon, MA 14 Jan 1772 Elizabeth CONEY, b. 3 Feb 1751, the daughter of Nathaniel Coney and Sarah Morse. [148]
* Abigail, b. 21 May 1751, baptized 26 May 1751, d. Milton, MA 18 June 1827, m. Milton 9 Aug 1774 John Box BRONSDON, b. Boston 21 May 1751, d. Milton 22 Feb 1823, the son of Bant Bronsdon (1721-1774) and Elizabeth Box (1734-1790). John was a solider of the Revolutionary War, first serving as a private in Captain John Bradley's (Milton) company in Colonel Robinson's regiment, and then also having subsequent service. He appears on the 1820 federal census for Milton.
* Elijah, b. 12 April 1753, , baptized 20 May 1753, d. Stockbridge, VT 16 Oct 1837, m. Sharon, MA 24 Feb 1779 Olive ROGERS, b. c. 1757, d. Stockbridge, VT 30 July 1826, daughter of William Rogers and Abigail-5 Shepard (John-4, Jacob-3, Thomas-2, Ralph-1). Elijah, Jr. was a Revolutionary War soldier, serving as a private in Capt Edward Bridge Savel's (1st) company, Col. Robinson's regiment, that marched on the alarm of 19 April 1775; seven days service. He also served several more times later. Elijah, called Elijah Jr., is found on the 1800 census in Sharon, Mass. with large family, and in the 1820 census in Stockbridge, Windsor Co., VT, being the one male 45 and over, with only his presumed wife, the female 45 and over. I do not find him on the 1830 census, likely because he is living with a daughter or another family.
* Mary, b. 26 Dec 1754, m. Stoughton 21 Nov 1775 Joseph BELCHER.
* Susanna, baptized 13 Mar 1757, d. before 1840, m. Sharon, MA 24 July 1796 Oliver SHEPARD, b. Stoughton 16 Oct 1768, d. Canton 19 Jan 1854, the son of Jacob-5 Shepard (Thomas-4, Ralph-3, Thomas-2, Ralph-1) and Bathsheba Puffer. Oliver appears on the 1800, 1810, 1820, 1830, and 1840 censuses for Canton, Mass. He has an apparent wife his age in 1830 (aged 60-69), but also an older man, aged 80-89, and several younger people. In 1840 he is living in Canton, alone, aged 70-79. [153]
* Mehitabel, baptized 8 March 1759, m. Foxboro, MA 6 Dec 1784 Neil McCOY, b. Scotland c. 1760, d. Utica, NY c. 1827. Neil was a soldier of the Revolution.
* Anna, baptized 15 August 1762. She may be the child of E. Baker who was buried 15 October 1764. The Mary Baker, daughter of Elijah, that was baptized on the same date as Anna was likely a clerical error, as Mary had been baptized seven years earlier.
* John, b. 7 March 1765, d. Sharon 22 May 1834, aged 69, m. in Canton (per Sharon VR) 15 Dec 1796 Abigail BLAKE, b. 1770, d. 15 May 1840, aged 70. John is buried in Sharon ("GR" per vital record of Sharon), and has been placed in the West Cemetery in find-a-grave. [155]
James, b. 21 April 1768, baptized 27 May 1768, m. Martha BIRD? The James Baker who married Martha Bird was called James Baker III, married her in Dorchester, and died in Dorchester in 1820. It seems improbable that this was the son of Elijah.
* Bathsheba, baptized 22 Apr 1770, d. Lincoln, ME 21 Feb 1850, m. Sharon, MA 1 Oct 1789 Nehemiah Bradford SAMPSON, b. Plympton, Mass. 17 July 1764, d. Rochester, Strafford, NH 26 April 1818, the son of Jonathan Sampson and Deborah Bradford. The family appears in the 1790 census in Stoughton, Mass. under the name Nehe Sampson. In 1810 they are in Knox, Hancock Co., Maine, listed under the name Nehemiah Samson, with ten total people. Bathsheba and Nehemiah had at least seven children.
