Life and records
Born 17 Jan 1821; maiden Carter; wife of Roswell Baker and mother of Ereda (Biographical Review, Franklin County, 1895).
Identity-only from 1895 sketches. Maiden Carter; 1895 Baker sketch styles her Bathsheba C. P. Carter, a native of Buckland, born 17 Jan 1821, daughter of Thomas and Ann (Toby) Carter — those parents not entered (identity-only stop). Budington sketch groups her with husband as natives of Hawley and 'the latter in 1821.' Baker sketch says the Carter family removed Buckland → Hawley in 1823, so a Buckland birth and Hawley upbringing both fit. Married Roswell Baker 17 Oct 1839; mother of Ereda. Alive 1895, West Hawley.
