Quoted from Genealogy of the Descendants of John White of Wenham and Lancaster, Massachusetts by Almira Larkin White, Vol. 2 pg. 510-11
- [After the death of her first husband] Mrs. Baker was left with four children, the oldest aged ten. The farm was let at the halves. She used her two wheels, one for spinning flax, the other for cotton and wool. She wove the yarn into cloth to make their clothes. Her son, Judge Baker of Hallowell, Me., says: "My mother owned a share in a social library kept at Skowhegan Bridge. I remember my father and mother sitting up nights to read a volume about Catherine of Russia. The books I read from the library were Shakespeare's Plays and Hume's History of England and others. I think there were no novels in the library. There were perhaps two hundred books. I borrowed "Pilgrim's Progress" and Goldsmith's "Animated Nature," three or four volumes of descriptions of animals, birds, etc., illustrated. A single tallow candle on a table served for several persons to read, study and work by."
