He married Angelica Bray who had large expectations as to property, she being the only child of her father. She bore to my great grandfather, one son Henry Baker, my grandfather. Sometime after this event the fair Angelica eloped with the captain of a Jamaica Merchant ship and is believed to have died in Kingston in extreme wretchedness. . . . the poor man, notwithstanding the waywardness of his first wife appears ever to have retained a most affectionate attachment for her. A plate, knife and fork were always placed at the table for her and no one permitted to occupy her chair, in token that he was ready to receive the repentant Madgelina whenever she thought proper to return. . . . He moved to Buckland in the County of Hertford, now the county of Gates. . . The old mansion is still vivid in my memory. It was of but one story with dormer windows above, a piazza in front, from which you entered a hall, an immense room of thirty or more feet in length and proportionately wide, the stairway commencing near the front door, and winding over the fire place. Two windows in front and one at the end not of the largest dimensions. The fire place was most capacious, a common size ox load of wood from six to eight feet long was not more than sufficient for a good Christmas fire. Ah! many a Christmas Day have I spent in the old mansion. On the opposite side there was another door in which stood a bed where ordinary people were put to sleep. You then descended two or three steps to another door into what was called the entry, an open, covered way which conveyed you to the back room which had another staircase and a room above. I have purposely reserved the mention of a small room opening into the hall by the side of the door leading to the open room and entry, for the last of my description. It was always called the Parson's room, was small and had one quite small window at the side. It received it's name from the fact that the parson who preached at Knotty Pine Chapel about a mile off always made the mansion his headquarters. This little room was remarkable for another circumstance. My great aunt Caty represented to be a large bouncing girl as most of the Baker girls were in olden time eloped through that small window [what cannot love accomplish] with Mr. Wiggins. "... perhaps... he heard of her death, the good man began to think that it was not good or agreeable for man to live alone and concluded to try his luck again. .... His first wife having been bred a fine lady and turned out badly he thought it best to take one from an humble station in life, who would feel under obligation to him for elevating her to his own and consequently from gratitude would be more particular in consulting his happiness. My great grandfather as might have been expected was disappointed. His wife, in the first place was fond of low company and in his absence would collect her old associates, male and female and have great carousals. My great grandfather kept a brewery which no doubt added greatly to the fun. On one occasion the old gentleman had gone on a visit to James River. One of the children was taken sick. His brother at Quay, hearing about and knowing his brother Henry to be absent determined like a good brother to go to see the child. On his arrival, to his great amazement, he found the crowd in the house fiddling and dancing merrily, notwithstanding the child was really sick." -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Blake Baker ca 1724 - 1769 | his parents & 1757 Mary Kinchen ? - 1775 | her parents of Halifax Co, NC ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Blake Baker married 1757 the Mary Kinchen, widow of Richard McKinnie and sister of William Kinchen Jr of Edgecombe.

EX: wife, brother John Baker, and James Holderness Powell has it he trained as a cabinet maker. - from "The Baker Family as Remembered" written 4 Feb 1847 by Simmons Jones Baker "Blake was a bread maker, but like some of his contempories who had been bread makers, weavers, bakers, etc. his ambition prompted him to soar a little higher and become a lawyer. Whether he attained eminence or not tradition sayeth not. He left a son also named Blake was bred for the law and by dint of hard labor, for he was not brilliant, he came to be considered very safe council. The second Blake married Miss Ann Clark, late of Tarborough. She died leaving no issue. Blake then married his cousin. A most excellent woman at heart, but most eccentric in character. Her first exploit was related to me occurred in a Presbyterian Church when she was a child. Two pious old ladies were praying very devoutly with their heads together. She slipped up and pinned their caps together. When the prayer was over, the old ladies rose up and off came their caps. Her husband Blake one day expected company, was shaving and about half shaved she ran out and told him that the wine was running out of the cellar and she could not stop it. He immediately ran down into the cellar and as soon as in, his wife turned the key on him and in spite of all entreaty kept him there until his guest arrived, who on inquiring for him were told that he was in the cellar half shaved and that is something extraordinary. Blake was exceedingly patient on some occasions bore this and a thousand other tricks with great forbearance. They left but one child, Blake the third, who married Wood Hamlin's daughter of Halifax leaving it is believed one or two children. Mary the daughter of Blake the third, married John Granberry of Bertie and died without issue. Elizabeth the second daughter married Robert Bignal of Tarborough leaving a son who died in his nonage. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Zadock Baker - | his parents & Miss Wynn | her parents of Buckland, Gates, NC -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- William Murfree Tax Receipt Book - Hertford Co 1768-1770 1770 Zadock Baker 4 taxes Children of Zadock Baker and Miss Wynn: 1.
