Hello Kevin; As a matter of fact, Georg Becker, later known as George Baker settled near Lunenburg, N.S. I have a whole page on him in my book "The Hessians of Nova Scotia". Here are the e-mails of two descendants who have corresponded with me in the past - Rod Baker knowledg@vianet.on.ca He is in Hanmer, Ontario, and Bill Tinney, tinney@meol.mass.edu Can't guarantee if these are still good. Best of luck to you, John Merz ----- Original Message ----- From: Susan Baker To: AMREV-HESSIANS-admin@rootsweb.com Sent: Monday, December 13, 2004 8:15 PM Subject: Is there a relationship? Good Day I watched a movie on A&E about the the american revolution and my interest was sparked when Washington fought the Hessians at Trenton I am Canadian from German decent, my great-great grandfather settled in Nova Scotia Canada on Big Tancook Island- Lunenburg County My last name is Baker but may have been derived from Bekker, Becker, or some form. Our roots have been traced back to Hesse or Hessen in Germany. I would like to know if there were any bekkers that fought in the revolution or any connection to the Hessians Thanks you for your time and info Kevin Baker
