Sergeant Samuel Baldwin

31. SAMUEL3 Josiah2 John1 (of Milford)

Baldwin was born in Milford, Connecticut on March 14, 1671. The Samuels have given me more trouble than any name but Nathaniel, much more than the numerous Johns. It's pleasant to find the identity of this Samuel established, who died January 8, 1731, by the statement on his tombstone, in Milford, that he died in his 63d year. Some of the descendants of this Samuel make him son of Daniel2 Nathaniel1, the one b. December 26, 1673; but that Samuel was baptized the same month and in the Church Record, it appears he died March 26, 1674, and Daniel had another Samuel baptized March 6, 1684.

He was, after 1711, Samuel, Sr. He was a wheelwright. He m. REBECCA WILKINSON, b. 1676, daughter of Edward1 and Rebecca (Smith) Wilkinson of' Milford; Rebecca Smith being daughter of Henry Smith, of Stamford. He and his wife and his eldest two children were baptized August 1, 1703.

His will, dated February 14, 1734, mentions all his children who survived him.

• Samuel, b. Feb. 17, 1700.+
• Rebeckah, b. Nov. 10, 1702; m. Phinehas Baldwin 3 Richard 2 John. Baldwin,! of Milford.
• Caleb, b. July 26, 1704. +
• Peleg, b. Feb. 18, 1708. +.
• Joel, b. .July 11, 1711. +

By his will he gives his son Samuel £140, and land at Chestnut Hill, so called, as well as other property, with his other three sons. He had previously liberally distributed by deeds.
