Reader's query:
" BALDWIN.-- Sylvester Baldwin, Passenger 21 June, 1638, made his noncupative will, proved 13 July, 1638, before Deputy Gov. Dudley by oaths of Chad Brown, Francis Bolt, James Weeden and John Baldwin. Where cau the record or any papers relating thereto he found?
Winthrop's Journal mentions Richard of Braintree and dau. Jane, in 1637. Is there any evidence that Henry and the 1st John of Woburn were brothers, or either or George were sons of Richard ? 1s there any further record of Richard or his family? C. C. BALDWIN, Cleveland, Ohio."
