"Francis and Isabel immigrated from England in 1635 on the "SS Planter". He resided in the part of Yarmouth now known as Dennis, Massachusetts. Francis settled in Yarmouth about 1642. He appears on the court records for selling wines without a license. On June 1, 1641 he received a grant for land near Follens Pond on Nobscusset Territory (now known as Yarmouth). His grant was not within the bounds of Dennis. In 1658 he had a grant of 10 acres near his father-in-law in Eastham. The town records list him as cooper, blacksmith and surveyor." - America's First Families Roll of Honor

"George Baker, born in France in 1823, came to Boston in 1834, and to Wellfleet in 1836. He followed the sea from 1836 until 1872, twenty-five years as master of vessels, and now keeps a lumber and general builders' supplies store at Wellfleet. He is having a cranberry bog made, which will be the largest bog in this town. It will contain twenty acres, and will cost ten thousand dollars complete. He married Mercy H., daughter of Thomas Higgins. Their five living children are: Thankful H., Mercy H., Margaret S., Clara E. and Ada A. Four died: two in infancy, and Maria T. and George." - Deyo, 1890Medical:
The Census reports that George was born in Germany, and this discrepancy is resolved by noting that he was born in Walschbronn, Moselle, Lorraine, territory that was sometimes controlled by France and sometimes by Germany.
Biographical Sketches of Representatives of the Commonwealth of Mass., Boston 1901
"George Baker native of France b. September 4, 1823. At the age of 8 sailed from Havre on board merchant ship for Boston. Employed in sailors' boarding house, then shipped on fishing vessel called "Leonidas" commanded by Capt. David Baker who brought him to Wellfleet. Found a home in the family of Isaiah R. Baker with whom he resided until he attained his majority.
When 13 years old he engaged in fishing industry and at 21 was master of a vessel. Followed the sea for 40 years, 25 of which he was a master mariner. He was capt of the following vessels "Tiara," "Metor", "Maria Theresa," "Sarah E. Lewis" and The "RR Higgins" besides the packet he ran for 6 years from Wellfleet to Boston. He weathered many storms including the great gale of Oct 1841 and on one occasion during the war while in the Chesapeake Bay, he narrowly escaped being captured by Confederates.
In 1865 he abandoned the sea and about 1870 established himself in the coal business, selling out later he engaged in the lumber business eventually c. 1894 selling out to Thomas Allen Higgins.
George Baker was interested in Cranbery culture."
