"NATHANIEL BALDWIN AND ONE LINE OF HIS DESCENDANTS.
(Communicated by Mr. BYRON A. BALDWIN, Of Chicago, Ill.)
AMONG the first settlers of Milford, Connecticut, in 1639, were Nathaniel, Timothy, Joseph, John and Richard Baldwin, all of whom were at that time, or soon after, heads of families.
According to Milford records, Nathaniel and Timothy were brothers; and it is known that Richard had only one brother, John, who at the time of settlement was about six years of age. Richard and the younger John were the sons of Sylvester Baldwin. who died on the ocean in 1638, and were born in the parish of Aston Clinton, in the county of Bucks, England.
As the Milford settlers came over with the New-Haven Company. it is a reasonable supposition that the Baldwins among them, were nearly connected, and were from London and its vicinity; the counties of Bucks and Surrey."
