I dont know for sure what County in TENN William Baldwin was born but believe we have narrowed it down to Robertson County. I didn't know that Montgomery Co and Wilson County were so close! You are right about more research being necessary. I know my Baldwin's married into several Fayette County families off memory..the Nave, Rhoads, Joy, Sayres/Sears, and Renfro families.
