About William (or Henry) Baldwin

William Baldwin, Ranger of the Royal Forests in Salop, married Elinor, said to have been daughter of Sir Edward Herbert.

William Baldwin ....appears to have accompanied one of the Herberts (to Ireland), who had a large grant in what was then called the Island of Kerry. From his having come over with the Herberts, he was probably of one of the Salop families, though most probably not of the Diddlebury branch, the arms borne by the County of Cork Baldwins resembling more those of some of the other Salop branches. It is certain,however, that two brothers, supposed to have been the sons of this William, were as early as the latter end of the reign of Elizabeth or the beginning of that of James the First settled in the Western part of the County of Cork, and that from them are descended the different families of Baldwin of that County.
