Notes for TAMAR WARNER: Tamar was the Aunt of Col. Seth Warner. Notes for REMEMBER BAKER, SR.:

Town Historian Elmer Worthington wrote: "Remember Baker, Sr. was descended from John Baker, who married Sarah Hurlbut, a daughter of Joseph Hurlbut, reputedly the first man to finish a house near Shippauge Fort, and who gave Remember a plot of land on Good Hill in 1704. Remember and Sarah were probably the first young couple to make their home here. Mary Baker, older sister of Remember Baker Sr., and the future mother of Ethan Allen, was born in 1708. Remember Baker, Sr., was killed (6/1/1737) in a hunting accident in Roxbury by a Hurlbut just three months after Remember Jr's birth. Later, in1760, Remember Jr. married Desire Hurlbut. Shortly after his marriage he joined his cousins Seth Warner and Ethan Allen in Vermont.

Child of TAMAR WARNER and REMEMBER BAKER: REMEMBER BAKER, JR. b. 1737, Connecticut; d. August 21, 1775, Vermont; m. DESIRE HURLBUT, 1760, Notes for Tamar Warner, Remember Baker Sr. and Remember Baker Jr. excerpt from The Historical Magazine cited below. (page 327) Remember Baker was born in the ancient town of Woodbury, Ct., in June 1737. He was the second child and the only son of Remember Baker (b. February 22, 1712), and the grandson of John Baker (b. December 24, 1681). His mother was Tamar Warner (b. February 26, 1718). , daughter of Dr. Ebenezer Warner of Woodbury. His mother’s brother Benjamin was the father of Seth Warner and his father’s sister Mary was the mother of Ethan Allen. Baker was thus cousin to both Warner and Allen though they two were not al all related to each other. While he was quite young his father was accidentally shot by a hunter and he was left in an orphanage and poverty. He was apprenticed to a millwright under whose care he formed habits of industry and self-reliance; which, with his native energy, stood him in good stead all the way through life. His education was the ordinary education of the children of the poor at that period and only qualified to read, write and cipher.
