| Notes |
- 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,
Michelle
