Disputed Origins
There is no proof that the wife of John Baker was the daughter of John Day and Mirable Fenner, of Norwich, Norfolk, England.
Biography
Birth
Based upon her examination before embarking for New England in 1637, Elizabeth (___), wife of John Baker, grocer, was born in about 1598, most likely in Norwich, Norfolk County, England, where she and her husband were living in 1637.[1]
Marriage
She married John Baker, a grocer, in England by about 1630. They were both aged 39 and they already had at least three children when examined in April 1637.[1] A prior version of the profile, citing only an unsourced online tree, asserted that that this marriage occurred in Mancroft, Norfolk, England, in 1632. No record confirming this has been found, but it is plausible if the baptism records for their children cited below are the correct family.
Emigration
Elizabeth emigrated with her husband John Baker, grocer, on either the John and Dorothy of Ipswich or the Rose of Yarmouth in about April 1637, departing England for Charlestowne, Massachusetts Bay Colony. They were traveling with three children, and four servants:[1]
08 Apr 1637. "The examinaction of John Baker: borne in Norwch in Norffolck Grocar ageed 39 yeres and Elizabeth: his wife ageed 31 yeares with 3 Children Elizabeth. John. and Thomas. and 4 Servants Marey Alxarson: aged 24 yeares Anne Alxarson: aged 20 years Bridgett Boulle: aged 32 yeares and Samuel Arres: aged 14 yeares are all desirous to goe for Charles Towne. in New England ther to inhabitt and Remaine".
They arrived in Charles Town, Massachusetts Bay Colony, on 8 June 1637.[2]
Death
The circumstances of her death are uncertain. A prior version of the profile, citing only an unsourced online tree, asserted that Elizabeth died about 1666 in Ipswich, Essex, Massachusetts Bay Colony.
