Mark Baker's parents were Joseph & Marion (McNeil) Baker; Mark Baker's mother was the daughter of John & Marion (Moor) McNeil per writings of Mary Baker Eddy in her 1881 Edition of Retrospection and Introspection. Mary Baker Eddy's parents burial location was identified in the above 1881 Edition of Retrospection and Introspection.
Mark Baker was a strongly religious man from a Protestant Congregationalist background, a firm believer in the final judgment and eternal damnation, according to Mary Baker Eddy. McClure's magazine wrote in 1907, in a series of articles that were highly critical of Mary Baker Eddy, that Baker's home library consisted of the Bible, though Mary Baker Eddy responded that this was untrue and that her father had been an avid reader.
Mary Baker Eddy wrote that her father had been a justice of the peace at one point and a chaplain of the New Hampshire State Militia. He developed a reputation locally for being disputatious; one neighbor described him as " tiger for a temper and always in a row." McClure's reported several similar stories from neighbors, including that he once killed a crow with his walking stick for violating the Sabbath. The magazine described him as a supporter of slavery and alleged that he had been pleased to hear about Abraham Lincoln's death. Mary Baker Eddy responded that Baker had been a "strong believer in States’ rights, but slavery he regarded as a great sin."
Daughter, Mary Baker Eddy, founder of the Christian Science faith, The Mother Church, The First Church of Christ Scientist, Boston; the Massachusetts Metaphysical College, and the Christian Science Publishing Society.
Mark Baker's second wife was Elizabeth Patterson Duncan Baker.
