    "6. Baysey2 Baker (John1) was born in 1672 in Hartford, died on 4 September 1723 in Middletown, Connecticut,1921 and was buried in the McDonough (Riverside) Cemetery in Middletown. He married on 1 April 1697 in Hartford Hannah Willet, … daughter of the prestigious Nathaniel and Sarah (Adams) Willet. … Baysey was a member of the First church of Hartford, as were the Adams, Baker and Willet families. Hannah entered into full communion at the church on 28 October 1694. Baysey and Hannah were married there and most of their children were baptized there.

    Baysey purchased land in Middletown on 13 June 1713 and established a home there shortly afterward. This is confirmed by the fact that on 10 June 1712 his son
    Jeremiah was born in Hartford, and on 12 July 1715 his daughter Hannah was born in Middletown. Upon Baysey's death, his wife Hannah and son Nathaniel were named administrators of his estate. The estate was found to contain land in Middletown, Hartford and Farmington valued at £286, as evaluated by Baysey's brother William Baker in October 1723. Distribution was declared by the probate court on 3 November 1724, wherein the estate was valued at £1,042 after all debts were paid. The widow Hannah Baker received her widow's third of the moveable estate valued at £48 12s. 2d. Nathaniel, the eldest son received a double portion of £397 9s. 8d. and the rest of the children, Timothy, Hannah, and Susannah, each received a single portion of £198 14s.

    Three years later, Joseph Webster, widow Hannah's new husband, filed a complaint stating that the original men appointed to make distribution of the estate be replaced for failure to perform their duties. On 5 December 1727, the court appointed James Ensign, William Baker, and David Ensign to this role. For unknown reasons, the Farmington land was not surveyed and subdivided until 26 July 1738. Hannah was the original guardian of the minor children aged as follows: Timothy, seventeen; Thankful, fourteen; Jeremiah, eleven; Hannah, eight; and Susannah, five years old. On 2 January 1727/8, the court appointed Nathaniel as guardian of his sisters Hannah aged twelve and Susannah aged nine. Thankful and Jeremiah had died under Hannah's care and Timothy had come of age."
