Collins Springs Cemetery according to the listing is located at what I suppose are grid indicators as follows; 335013N 0842854W Northwest Atlanta. There is also a Collins-Loud located at 334956N 0842739 W Northwest Atlanta. If you determine where the Northwest Atlanta area for Smyrna mailing is located, this might put you close to the cemetery. If you know the dates when your ancestor served as Sheriff of Cobb County, there should be some information in the Georgia Room, Cobb Central Library. Microfilm copies of the Marietta Daily Journal for that time period could also contain info pertaining to this ancestor. These are also available to see at the Cobb Central Library. Good Hunting, Jack.

The First Hundred Years, A Short History of Cobb County - Temple, 1935 - gives a listing of County Officers on page 567. The list of Sheriffs for the period Mar 20, 1833 through 1934, includes two terms of service for my ggg-gf. Joseph Chastain, and one for an AA Baldwin. No dates for his term are given, but the sheriff who followed him, WP Stephens, served five terms from 1871, so I would assume that AA served immediately prior to 1871. I wish you better luck in finding a wealth of information on this Baldwin Sheriff than I have had on my Chastain. I have accumulated the entire collection of Cobb County newspapers from inception to 1920, and though I seem to recall mentions from time to time, have made no notes for this AA Baldwin nor for your Hartwell. The Collins Springs Cemetery is located on Collins Springs Road off Atlanta Road in Smyrna.. Baldwins buried there are: From: Cobb County, Georgia, Cemeteries, Vol. I, 1984 22070 Baldwin, Mary E. May 25, 1855 - June 19, 1934 22071 Baldwin, Lawson May 24, 1853 - July 17, 1933 22072 Baldwin, Wm. L. Sep. 2, 1884 - Oct. 3, 1918 22073 Baldwin, Rubie May 4, 1890 - Nov. 29, 1898 - dau. of L & MA 22074 Lee, Minnie Baldwin Feb 25, 1874 - Jul 16, 1904 - age 30, 4, 21, d/o Mr. & Mrs. L Baldwin, w/o WM Lee 22081 Baldwin, George P. Sep 18, 1894 - May 6, 1963 No Hartwell Baldwin is listed in the above.
