Richard Baker
M, b. 23 December 1753, d. 26 December 1776
Note | | Richard's name appears in some accounts, particularly those relying on Elma Baker's The Rugged Trail as "Ruben" or "Rubin" or "Reuben." This is clearly incorrect. David Baker's pension application, in which he names the brother who died at the Battle of Trenton, quite clearly identifies that brother as Richard. The handwriting may be misunderstood by those unfamiliar with early script; however, the last letter is without question a "D". |
Birth | 23 Dec 1753 | Richard Baker, son of Thomas Baker and Dorothy Davenport, was born on 23 Dec 1753 at Culpeper County, VA.1 |
Death | 26 Dec 1776 | Richard Baker died on 26 Dec 1776 at Trenton, Hunterdon (now Mercer) County, NJ, at age 23. According to the pension application of his brother, David Baker, Richard was killed at the Battle of Trenton. David stated in his pension application: “I had a brother by the name of Richard killed in that action.” Richard Baker was just three days past his 23rd birthday. Particularly tragic is the fact that few if any American soldiers died due to enemy fire in the engagement. According to David McCullough in his masterful 1776 (Simon & Schuster, 2005), no American troops died in the fighting, but two froze to death in the terrible winter conditions. If true, then Richard Baker was one of those two. But other sources do not accept the no-battle-casualties conclusion. In Rebels & Redcoats by George F. Scheer and Hugh F. Rankin (Da Capo Press, copyright 1957, paperback reprint), the authors quote a relatively contemporaneous account attributed to an aide to General George Washington, probably Col. John Fitzgerald, as stating that there were “two killed and three wounded” and the wounded included Captain William Washington and Lieutenant James Monroe – both assigned to the 3rd Virginia Regiment, the regiment in which David Baker did serve and in which Richard Baker most likely served (there are no extant records to establish for certain Richard’s regiment). David Hackett Fischer, author of Washington’s Crossing (Oxford University Press, 2004), cites a similar count by Washington aide Tench Tilghman and contends that the bulk of the evidence supports a finding that two privates were killed in action and another four or five died of illness or exposure. If these other sources are correct, then David Baker’s choice of the word “killed” to describe his brother’s death (as opposed to a more passive word such as “died”) would suggest that Richard was one of those killed in action.1 |
