Biography

Hannah Baker was the daughter of John Baker and Sarah (Palmer) Baker

Hannah and her first husband, Jacob Kenderdine (he was the son of Thomas and Dorothy (Roberts) Kenderdine) were disowned by Horsham Friends after complaints were lodged against them regarding their marriage by a priest. There were a series of allegations starting in 25 FEB 1765 and finally a "testimony was signed against them" and then "disowned". Their children were: Jacob, Thomas, Joseph and John. **

After Jacob's death, Hannah applied for re-instatement and was approved. **

Hannah then married Samuel Conrad of Horsham on 6 NOV 1772 (son of Cornelius and Priscilla (Bolton) Conrad as was reported in the Abington MM minutes. **

Hannah died on 15 January 1830 and was buried in Upper Dublin Township, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, United States.^[1]

Disputed Dates

From Roberts: "The Kenderdines of America" page 33 gives the date of Hannah's marriage as 6-5-1762. Roberts believes this is an error since the Meeting did not discipline her until 1765 while her first child was born late in 1764.» Roberts, Ancestry of Clarence Roberts... , 12;
