Baldwin Book

Author Charles Candee Baldwin was born in 1834 in Middletown, Connecticut. He died in 1895 in Cleveland, Ohio.

The ancestry of George B. Baldwin in England and Connecticut is shown below. Seven opf the 10 ancestors are linked to Find a Grave. Page numbers are from The Baldwin Genealogy, from 1500 to 1881.

4. Joseph Baldwin, 1610-1684, Milford, Connecticut, born in Cholesbury, Buckinghamshire, England. "Joseph was one of the first settlers of Milford, in 1639, and his name appears Nov. 20, of that year, in the first list of free planters." (Page 479)
5. Sgt. Jonathan B. Baldwin, 1649-1739, Milford, Connecticut (Page 483)

For convenience in the book, each first settler in America is numbered 1. Each descendant has a permanent number, by observing which, any line is easily traced backward or forward. The number of the generatiou follows the name. Thus, on page 487: Daniel 3 Jonathan 2 Joseph 1 means that Daniel is of the third generation, Jonathan is of the second generation and son of Joseph.

Two Famous Baldwin Brothers

There are two famous brothers descended from Richard Baldwin III. They are 4th cousins of Daniel Baldwin, born in 1759.

• Abraham Baldwin, 1754-1807 (Page 420) - Signer of United States Constitution on September 17, 1787, at Independence Hall in Philadelphia. Born in Guilford. He attended Yale College. In 1785, 1787 and 1788 he was a member of the Continental Congress as well as a delegate to the new nation's Constitutional Convention. Represented Georgia in the U.S. House and Senate from 1789 to 1807.
• Henry Baldwin, 1780-1844 (Page 431) - United States Supreme Court Justice from 1830 to 1844. Born in New Haven. He attended Hopkins School (class of 1793) on the New Haven Green in New Haven, Connecticut (see Kings Highway). He attended Yale College. He was nominated to the Supreme Court by President Andrew Jackson to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Bushrod Washington (nephew of George Washington).

Baldwin Y-DNA

An indication of the Y-DNA of these Baldwins is available from the Baldwin Project at Family Tree DNA. Testers in Cluster 1 have a documented descent from ancestors of the Baldwins above. They have R-BY62081, which is a mutation born in 1500 AD and descends from U106 Saxon DNA. It is highly likely that George B. Baldwin had this Y-DNA.

1542 Ribston Hall

Henry Goodricke purchased Ribston Hall in Yorkshire, England, in 1542 from Charles Brandon, 1st Duke of Suffolk. (Charles Brandon was brought up at the court of Henry VII, and became Henry VIII's closest friend. Through his third wife, Mary Tudor, he was the brother-in-law of King Henry VIII.)

Ribston Hall is currently a privately owned 17th-century country mansion situated on the banks of the River Nidd, at Great Ribston, near Knaresborough, North Yorkshire, England. The two-story mansion presents a fifteen-bay entrance front to the north east. The adjoining chapel is said to contain traces of 13th-century masonry.

The estate at Ribston was granted by Robert de Ros to the Knights Templar in 1217 and passed to the Knights Hospitaller on the demise of the templars in the early 14th century. Following the Dissolution of the Monasteries the property reverted to the Crown and was granted to the Charles Brandon, 1st Duke of Suffolk, who sold it to Henry Goodricke in 1542.

Henry Goodricke was succeeded by his son Richard, who became High Sheriff of Yorkshire for 1579–80, and died in 1581.

Richard was succeeded by his own son, Richard, who was High Sheriff of Yorkshire for 1591–92 and died in 1601.

He was succeeded in turn by Sir Henry Goodricke whose son John was made Baronet Goodricke in 1641. As a Royalist Sir John suffered in the Civil War, being fined and then imprisoned in the Tower of London, from where he escaped to France. After the Restoration he was elected MP for Yorkshire in 1661, sitting until 1670.

In 1674 Sir Henry Goodricke, 2nd Baronet, the son of Sir John, was MP for Boroughbridge from 1673 to 1679 and from 1683 to his death in 1705. He built the existing house on the remains of the old property. The new Hall was the home of the Goodricke family until the death of the seventh Baronet in 1833, who was unmarried.
