Biography:

BAKER, Samuel (fl 1819)

Possibly the Samuel Baker (1785-1859) who published two religious pamphlets in 1813 (Boston) and 1814 (Hallowell ME) before the poem Election to Life Eternal in 1819. If so, the 1813 title gives a little biographical information, since the author describes himself on the title-page as "formerly Junior Pastor of the Baptist Church in Thomaston, to his Brethren in that place, after he became an Universalist."
