George Peter Baker
1714 - April 2, 1812
George Peter Baker was born in Germany. Historians list
a number of towns or areas as the Baker residence as follows: a resident
of Alsace Lorraine, Bavaria, and, in the Ruhr Valley some 3 miles West
of Strasbourg. Of those particulars we have no definitive answer.
However, on Monday, September
25, 1753, the Ship Peggy, having sailed from Rotterdam, The
Netherlands, and commanded by Captain James Abercrombie, landed at the
Port of Philadelphia. On passenger list 204B and 204C was the name of
GEORGE BAKER. From the period August 25, 1751 to October 1, 1754, the
passenger lists of Germans entering the Port of Philadelphia records
thirteen Bakers but only one (1) GEORGE BAKER. In fact, during the year
1753 nineteen ships carrying Germans entered the Port of Philadelphia
but among the passenger lists there was only one (1) GEORGE BAKER.
