Thomas Vester BAKER was born in either Perry Co., KY, Pike, Co., KY or
Wise Co., VA, 25 Mar 1832, depending on what record you are reading.
He died 20 Mar 1909 at Texas Ridge, Latah Co., ID and was buried in
the Elwood Cemetery where he has a fine marker on the grave of himself
and his wife. His brother Henry Baker's wife, Mary Short Baker, is
buried next to them. She was the sister of Thomas Baker's wife.
===
Thomas Baker married twice. He married 1st Matilda ESTEP 5 Jul 1852
in Pike Co., KY by William Hatfield, J.P. She was born 1837 in Pike
Co., KY, the daughter of John FRAZIER ESTEP and Sarah E. NORMAN. She
died 27 Oct 1860 in Portsmouth, Scioto Co., OH according to Thomas
Baker's pension papers. Thomas Baker married 2nd Nancy Ann SHORT 19
Jan 1864 in Louisa, Lawrence Co., KY. She was born 8 Mar 1840 in VA.
Nancy was the daughter of Charles SHORT and Ann MULLINS. She died 14
Apr 1928 in Deary, Latah Co., ID and was buried in the Elwood
Cemetery, Latah Co., ID with her husband.
===
Thomas Baker moved many times in his childhood and in his adulthood.
His father was on the census in 1830 Perry Co., KY, 1840 Lee [Wise]
Co., VA and in 1850 in both Pike Co., KY and in Tazewell [Buchanan]
Co., VA. Thomas Baker married his first wife, Matilda Estep, in Pike
Co, KY and their children were reported as born in Pike Co, KY until
they moved to Ohio where his wife, Matilda, died shortly after the
birth of their 4th child. It does say in his pension papers that on
the 23 November 1862 he was enrolled at Milwaukee, Wisconsin as a
private in Capt. Isaac E. Gray's Company D, 39th Regiment, Kentucky
Infantry of the Union Army and was honorably discharged at Louisville,
Kentucky on the 15 September 1865. At the time of his enlistment he
was 5'8" tall, fair complexion, blue eyes, dark hair and his
occupation was farmer.
===
Thomas Baker was on the roll of the 39th Regt. from his enrollment
until 1863 when he was reported sick during May and June and in the
General Hospital in Ashland, KY. William Baker, the brother of
Thomas, had joined Company D on the 15 November 1862 when they were
both reported as having mustered in 16 Feb. 1863 at Peach Orchard, KY.
In March of 1863 they marched from Peach Orchard, KY 18 miles to
Louisa, KY and in April of 1863 they marched 80 miles to Pikeville, KY
where they fought and captured the rebel Col. French and his regiment
and returned safely to Louisa, KY. It was after this that Thomas
Baker took sick and was in the hospital. In June of 1863 they marched
again to Pikeville where part of the Regiment proceeded to Pond Creek,
30 miles, and fought the enemy nearly all day. Part of the Regiment
at the same time, in company with other troops, marched to Gladeville,
VA where Col. Condit and his men were captured and brought off in
triumph. The whole regiment then marched to Louisa, KY.
===
So we see from this Regimental history that the 39th was stationed in
Louisa, KY and that was where Thomas Baker met and married his second
wife, Nancy Ann Short in January of 1864. In June of 1864 the
Regiment after marching from Louisa, KY nearly to Pound Gap, VA
pursued rebel General Morgan to Cynthiana, KY by way of Mt. Sterling,
KY, a distance in the whole march of about 300 miles and thence to
Lexington, KY. In July of 1864 they marched to Mount Sterling, KY and
in Sept. of 1864 to Saltville, VA, a distance of about 225 miles,
marching back to Lexington via Prestonsburg, Louisa and Mount Sterling
KY. In April of 1864 they marched from Louisa to Licking River in
Magoffin Co, KY and captured rebel Col. Clay and his regiment after
fighting him for about four hours.
===
In his pension application in 1908, Thomas Baker reported that after
the war he lived in Scioto, Co., OH for two years, Adams Co., OH for
two years, Stearns Co., MN for 36 years and Latah Co., ID after that.
But on the census he was living in Pike Co., KY in 1870, Meeker Co.,
MN in 1880 and Stearns Co., MN in 1900. He had four children with his
first wife and eight children with his second wife and all of this
large family moved from Minnesota and settled in Idaho, Washington and
Oregon.
