Daniel F. Bakeman
During the Revolutionary War, Daniel F. Bakeman served his country and was the last living soldier to receive a veteran’s pension as a result of his service. Baker participated in the Tryon County militia during the war’s final four years, and he was a private during that time. After the war, he settled down and married Susan Brewer, with whom he had eight children in total.
John Tyler
Following the death of William Henry Harrison in 1841, John Tyler served as Vice President under Harrison before taking over as President after Harrison’s successor. From 1841 until 1845, he served as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. Unfortunately for Tyler, many historians assign his presidency a relatively poor score, despite the fact that certain researchers have appreciated his political philosophy.
