Surnames: Baldwin Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/GMB.2ACE/674.1.1.1 Message Board Post: Unless I am mistaken, the 1850 census does not show parents place of birth. Paxton Annals does not state where James Sr or his wife Sarah were born. The 1850 census I have for Platte County show James H. and Susan with 2 children, John and James, ages 3 and 6 months. I checked the actual census image online with Ancestry and it does not show parent info. I checked my 1880 census CD's which would show that info but he is not listed in Platte. If he is still living and you know where he is in 1880, I will be glad to check further....Whoops, check that. I just noticed Paxton states he lived only a few years after marriage. His info conflicts with the 1850 census and it says the only child of the marriage was John T., of Butte, Montana (at time of writing). Goes on to say that Susan Thornton Baldwin married a Dr McCrudy second, of Idaho. Looking further, it appears James H. died in Liberty, Clay, MO in 1855. Sorry not much. Chuck

Paxton. page 201: "May 1, 1855. James H. BALDWIN died at Liberty, Mo. He was born in Mason Co., Ky., April 6, 1815, a son of James BALDWIN and Sarah HARRIS. He graduated at Centre College, Ky., in 1837, studied law with McClung & Taylor, in Washington, Ky. He was four years older than I (William M. Paxton), yet we were companions at Centre College, studied law together, were licensed at the same time, started the practice together as partners, and continued the partnership in Missouri, but I removed, in 1841, to the country, and our association ceased. He was a finished scholar and a profound lawyer. He stood at the head of the bar, and was beloved by his associates. After practicing some thirteen years at Platte City, he removed to Liberty, and formed a partnership with Gen. A. W. Doniphan. He married Nov. 18, 1846, Susan THORNTON, daughter of Col. John THORNTON, of Clay. There only child is John T. BALDWIN, who married Emma COCKRELL. Mrs. Susan BALDWIN, after the death of her husband, married Dr. McCurdy, and they reside in Idaho." page 219: "Emma COCKRELL, married June 7, 1870, Hon. J. T.

Renz is a old name in Platte County. I personally have not heard of the Rentz spelling in the area. You did not indicate what exactly you were looking for but here is some info I found. Simon was born in Germany in 1853.

The only other info I see is that he indicates the family are Catholics. It does also say the Zaccheus was a son of Joseph and Elizabeth Gramer Renz. Zac. learned the stonemason's craft and served six years in the German army. In 1850 he married Theresa Gramer and came to America in 1854, locating at Weston. At the time of his death in 1893, he owned 240 acres of land. ========================================== In cemetery records, I find Simon and Pauline are buried in the Weston Cemetery. Simon 1853-1926 Pauline Ruf 1858-1925 I also find Teresa Renz, 1827-1911, but no Zac. My guess is he is there but there is no stone.

There are some Ruf names in the Weston Cemetery from Baden but I did not see Vin. Ruf. There is an Eleanor but she was born in 1860. ============================================ If you are inquiring about any children, I could not find any resource that showed any. I could not find them on a census after they were married but my resources are limited there. I hope something here helps. Chuck
