As a reward for his services in the Indian wars, a grant of land was made to him and his company, by the General Court, which was designed to have been in Maine, but which, when the line was run between the Provinces, proved to be in New Hampshire; and on a representation of these facts by Charles Turner, and others, agents for the claimants, in 1765, a new grant was made in Maine, on condition that 30 families and a minister should be settled, and a meeting-house built, within six years; and this is now known as the town of Turner, Maine.

The Marshfield vital records are very worn for the five younger children of Samuel Baker: a daughter born May 1663, a child born 1665, a child, a daughter 1669, and a child.

It’s not clear who Samuel’s father was. It wasn’t Rev. Nicholas Baker of Hingham. His son Samuel, baptized 2 Oct 1638 at Hingham, married first Fear Robinson and second Abigail Lathrop.

William married Martha. Martha died in Scituate, MA on 13 Aug 1711.52

Sometimes Martha’s surname is given as Hubbard, but it’s not clear why. Perhaps it’s just a confusion of names because William Barstow’s father, also named William Barstow, had married Anna Hubbard.
