  • Notes: 

  • Although the Dorchester, Massachusetts vital records state that John Baker's marriage to Joan Swift occurred 05 NOV 1657, this is obviously in error. It most likely occurred 05 NOV 1651, but the years 1652 and 1653 are also possible. See Robert Charles Anderson's discussion of this in his The Great Migration: Immigrants to New England 1634-1635 (2:6:625-626).
