Title: Gunsmith Jacob S Baker
Post by: Sealhunter on August 14, 2020, 01:17:44 AM
Does anyone here know if the gunsmith Jacob S Baker in Philadelphia was related to the other, more known Baker's (Robert, John and more). The only facts I can find on Jacob S Baker is that he was listed as a gunsmith in 1859 and operated a rifle factory in 1819. In the 1850 Census, there is a man in West Chester, Pennsylvania, with that name, working as a gunsmith with "Miscellaneous repair services", born cirka 1795, married and had 7 children.
