Do you know what town James Baldwin died in? Do you know who he married? There was a Baldwin family in Worcester County, Grafton that went back to Putney VT. Do you know if he lived in Mendon? or just Worcester County. Jes

Sorry, I failed to give the only vitals that I have on James Baldwin. This we know, Born in 1814 in MA - [his own statement in court]. No town or city. No birthplace [town] or parent's names. 1820 census only lists head of household. A record handed down from his niece does state that he had two sisters named Jane and Ann. How true this is, I don't know. Her statement, and family stories, say that he was a sailor. [Through the years that morphed into a captain, drowned at sea, drowned in a ship wreck on the Mississippi in 1860] [That could not have been true, as court records state that he died before Feb 1859 term of court - he was a plaintiff in a suit]. I have talked most family researchers into eliminating that from their charts. * By mid 1830s we know that he was in New Orleans, as he married there, he would have been a in teens, if with parents would not have been head of household; if a sailor would probably have been missed by census. * Had three children born in LA in 1838, 1843, and 1848. * In 1850 census he is listed in Scott County IN census with wife and three children. * In 1852 another child is born, in Indiana. * He filed suit in court in Scott County IN in 1856. * He is listed as plaintiff in suit filed in 1858. * He is listed as deceased in court records in Feb 1859 term. * These are proved. I have been looking at MA places close to water - sea, canals, etc. I have been looking at census, trying to find head of households who would have a son that age. My next step is to find copy of C C Baldwin genealogy and see if I can find something there. I have also looked, and had others look, at Baldwins who may have worked on the Ohio and Mississippi rivers. Thanks for your interest. Perhaps you can take a new look at this and tell me where I have missed something to look at.
