Notes from Helen McMillan article " Adam Senior and his son, John, were soldiers in King's Royal Regiment of New York. Adam received his discharge from the Regiment in Montreal Dec. 23, 1783. He had served honestly and faithfully for three years. He was then entitled as was his son by His Majesty's late order of his Provincial Corps to become a settler in the province. United Empire Centennial Celebration 1784-1884 mentions Adam Baker, a soldier in the Royal regiment of of New York, Lunenburg Land Board , a wife and six children , P.L. 2nd 1786.

His son , John, married and had five children. They were all entitled to land grants as they became of age and all settled near their father's property at Santa Cruz ( a small settlement in Osnabruck Township, Stormont County, Ont. about 15 miles west of Cornwall on the St. Lawrence River. It no longer exists.) Here John built a Georgian style house with seven chimneys that was torn down during the building of the St. Lawrence Seaway. John became a ship's chandler supplying the needs of travellers both on land and on water. From Montreal to Kingston, his house became known as "Baker's".
