157 George Baker applied for a Revolutionary War pension on 11-13-1832 in Morgan County, Indiana. He was around 73 years old at the time. He made a second deposition in 1833, after which time he received a pension in the amount of $47.77 per year. George was a private during the Revolution, seeing six separate tours of duty. He served for a total of 14 months and 10 days within those six tours. He was first a private under the command of Captain John Baptist Ashe who in turn was in Colonel Lillington's Regiment. George was also a private assigned to Captains Walton, Robert Coyle, Robert King and Andrew Baker (no known relation).

Hi All!!
I received George Baker's papers yesterday and although there are many
parts that are in bad shape or are illegible there was some value to
these papers.
For those who are looking into George Baker here are some of the basics:
1.) He served 6 terms in the Rev War. One of those terms was spent
scouting for Indians, another was spent scouting for Tories (His
Captains name on this term was Capt. Andrew Baker-no relationship
stated)
2.) He states his birth as being 14th October 1759 in Guilford County,
NC and that his father (unnamed) kept a record in his bible, but that it
was long since lost.
3.) He names his brother-Boling Baker.
4.) He states that he lived in Wilks County, NC for about 25 years after
the War and that he then moved to Clay County, KY where he lived for
18-20 years. Then moving to Morgan County, IN where in 1832 he had lived
for about 5 years.
5.) He names John Sims, Presley Baker and George A. Phelps as testifiers
to his character. Affidavits are made by John Gray, Sr and Rev. James
Lunsford. He also mentions Rev. George W. Baker but states no
relationship.
7.) He signs with his mark "X"
8.) Pension is approved. #S 17249. He received $47.77 per year.

I found it interesting to note that Boling Baker is named in the Dickey
Diary as a brother of John Renta Baker, this would then allow us to
assume that George Baker is indeed the brother of John also.

Later,

------ James Ruffin CAPPS got his start working as a farmer in Harnett County, NC around 1880 for George James HODGES (son of John HODGES and Rebecca ALLEN). In 1881 he married George James HODGES's step-daughter, Sarah Catherine WHITTINGTON (daughter of Anna [possibly McLamb] ENNIS and W. Bryant WHITTINGTON). Anna Ennis WHITTINGTON married George James HODGES after her first husband (W. Bryant WHITTINGTON) died sometime between 1860 and 1861, possibly as a consequence of the Civil War. James Ruffin continued to work for and with George HODGES through at least 1900, for census records of that year show him and his brother William Henry CAPPS farming the land across the road from Hodges's home and Hodges's Chapel Church. That church burned down in 1992 and was replaced by a new Hodges Chapel Church located on the land they farmed. The Hodges's home is still there, located next to Hodges's Chapel cemetery. Behind the new Church is a small home that once belonged to James Ruffin's daughter, Loula F. CAPPS and her husband William Archie SANFORD. James Ruffin lived with them in the later years of his life. For more information on the Hodges's family, I recommend "Remembering Our Goff-Hodges and their Kin" by V. Mayo Bundy. This book was given me by Talmage Vernon CAPPS, Jr, who is also the one who pieced together the puzzle of how the Hodges, Capps and Whittingtons are interrelated.

------ By 1910, however, he was working in a cotton mill, according to census records of that year, and in 1925 he lived at 101 North 17th Street, Erwin, NC. It was here he and his wife cared for Talmage Vernon CAPPS, Jr. (their grandchild) for the first several months of Talmage's life. This was only two blocks from the cloth house where James Ruffin worked at the Erwin Cotton Mill. His job was to iron the cloth before it was shipped out.

----- Talmage recalls vividly that when James Ruffin got too old he was retired from the mill with no pay. For a long time he would keep going back and iron for nothing. But then he would get caught and sent back home. This did not stop him though and he would always keep going back.

------ Talmage V. CAPPS, Jr. reports that he was usually called Ruffin, but that lots of younger people called him "Uncle Pete." He doesn't know where the name "Uncle Pete" came from. Talmage remembers him as about 5'8" or 9" and a little heavy, but not much. Roger Eugene CAPPS remembers his great-grand father as "Little Grandpa" because Roger's grandfather, William "Lonnie" Alonzo CAPPS, was taller and hence called "Big Grandpa". Roger remembers him as always well-dressed, but shorter, maybe 5' 4".

------ Talmage had this to say about James Ruffin on 15-Nov-1993: "I don't think I've known a more humble and likeable person. I never met anyone who did not like him. I never heard him say a harmful thing or ever belittle anyone.... I believed he stayed with Loula and Arch Sanford more than anyone else. He was a true gentleman."

------ James Ruffin's death certificate says that the immediate cause of his death was myocarditis (disease of the heart) due to hypertension and arteriosclerosis. According to the certificate, he had myocarditis for seven years and hypertension and arteriosclerosis for fifteen years. James Ruffin is buried in Hodges's Chapel cemetery; also there are his wife, her mother and step-father, as well as James Ruffin's daughter Loula and her husband Archie.

"Hugh Robert Buie and Deliah Baker were married in Cumberland County, North Carolina in 1845. Hugh Robert Buie enlisted in Co. F, N.C. Vol. for the Mexican War and according to family tradition was killed in action when his son, Hugh Robert Buie, Jr., was six months old. Deliah (Baker) Buie drew a pension for many years after her husband's death (certificate no. 1073, file no. 27626, N.C.). According to census records, Hugh Robert, Jr. and family were living at Stewart's Creek, Harnett Co. in 1880 and Pearce's Mill, Cumberland Co. in 1900."

Military: Am. Revolution, Second Regiment NC Continental Line. Death was inferred his pension of $80 per annum beginning on 4-Mar-1831 for which he received a total of $240. Therefore, $240/$80 = 3 years before he died. He served six years during the Revolution, was captured in SC, held 18 months, and then was released at Jamestown. He was 5' 9", grey eyes, light brown hair, and fair complexion. William had three sons born before 1810, according to 1800 and 1810 Census records: two sons age 10-16 (William and Henry) and one son under age 10 (Unknown Boy CAPPS).

Shirley Ann GANDY, a descendent of Littleton through his son Thomas CAPPS, reported to me in July 1999 that her mother had said that she had been told that Littleton's father was a "hero" and that she thought his name was "William." Such a description would aptly fit William (b. 1751) who served in the Revolutionary War. William (b. 1751) does have a son listed in the 1810 census of the right age to have been Littleton, but this boy does not appear in the 1820 census
