Could this have been William:
Saturday last about seven in the
evening died suddenly in his chamber at Cambridge, the Rev Dr William Baker,
senior bursar at Saint John's college, a loss regretted by all that knew him,
being in every station of life, a truly great and good man, and a faithful
member of the Church of England (Howgrave's Stamford Mercury, 24 May 1733).
