Biography

Hannah Baker was born May 25, in 1744 in Middletown Twp., Middlesex County, Connecticut, according to transcribed information from FamilySearch.org. Her father's name was Timothy Baker, and her mother's was Hannah Cande. ^[1]

She was christened on 28 May 1744 in the same place (Middletown, Ct.) according to FamilySearch. ^[2]

A Findagrave memorial page has been located for Hannah. It provides her birth date as May 28, 1744. It seems likely that this date is based on the christening, rather than birth date.
