Not the one from Clerkenwell.I'm sure you're right that the brother of Thomas Baker apothecary would not be illiterate, as Richard Baker was.
Not a son of John Baker and wife Dorothy.He married three wives but seems to have left no surviving children, else Dorothy probably wouldn't have been selling 63 acres to Daniel Llewellyn.Could have been related.
I'd still like to know more about the Baker family in Wapping, in whose house Thomas Mathewes, surgeon of Merchants Hope VA, died in the 1640s:
MATHEWES, Thomas - Merchants Hope, Virginia, surgeon, died in Mr Bakers house in Wapping (f50)
Alex Eaton of Wapping apothecary; Rebecca Pope widow; Mr Abrm Redman; bro Knowles; Mr Dickeson; Capt Andrewes' warehouse; Mrs Converse; sis Redman; Mr Wilson; Mr Menefree in Virginia; Jn Carey of Ratcliffe; dtr of Wlm Baker; Jn Cole; Mr Pidgeon; Mr Rich Jones minister; wtns Anne Baker

It would be especially interesting to know whether Mr Rich Jones minister was the same person as Rev Richard Jones who sold Richard Baker the land Baker gave to Richard Pace.
