They originally were Puritans from CT and settled in Newark, and then some of them moved westward. In Bill's case, one of the Baldwin girls married John Catlin, Jr., who was the first schoolmaster in Newark. For reasons unknown, the Catlins moved back to New England, and John was killed in the Deerfield, MA, massacre of 1704; Mary Baldwin Catlin, his widow, who was uninjured, died only weeks later, presumably of grief. Fortunately their kids survived, or Bill wouldn't be here. Next time I'm out that way, I'll make a point of looking at the house, Norma. I have no idea how soon that'll be; we don't have any trips to the Northeast in the works as of now.

Doris, Hope you make the trip sometime. I have made my last one up there. Not safe to take me anywhere wonder I didn't fall in the graveyards. Lots of Baldwins from Schooleys' Mt. and most are in Naughright graveyard Norma ----- Original Message ----- From: <Up2Nutrix@aol.com> To: <NJ-MEMORIES-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, October 04, 2002 2:56 PM Subject: [NJ-Memories] Re: Talk About a Small World! > In a message dated 10/4/2002 2:02:36 AM Mountain Standard Time, > NJ-MEMORIES-D-request@rootsweb.com writes: > > > > I was born in the > > blue house directly across the Lower Valley Cemetery, its still there.
