Charity Jane Baldwin (1820 - 1824)*

Inscription: Aged 46 years

Note that Woodbridge dated people 1 yr older than they were by our normal count. They considered the first 12 months as year 1, and at the anniversary of the birth, would say that people were 'in their 2nd year'....a matter of years completed vs. years started...this did not catch on as people disliked being made a year older.

Burial: Milford Side Cemetery Woodbridge New Haven County Connecticut, USA
