BAKER - YARNALL
Joseph Baker, with his wife, Mary migrated from England as early as 1685 and settled on a large tract of land in Edgemont. They had several children at the time of their arrival. Of these, Hannah intermarried with Francis Yarnall and Dorothy with Phillip Yarnall. He devised all his land in Edgmont to his son, John, born in this country in 1686. Joseph was in membership with Friends and frequently concerned in the business of their meetings. He was also an influential man in the community and represented Chester Co. in the Provincial Assembly. He died in 1716 leaving his wife to survive him. His brother John, who died in Philadelphia in 1685, came from Edgmont, in Shropshire, England, which was doubtless, the transatlantic residence of Joseph, and hence the name of the twp. in which he settled.
