Do you want a guess? An educated guess. And some on-line kinsman to add data? 1st,5 Mile is a hamlet on US RT 68 and Ohio 131 south of Fayetteville, Perry Township,Brown Co,Oh. And it's on a creek,for drainage,amid very flat land that was white oak swamp, Mostly too swampy for 1st generation settlement, but settled later,by 2,and 3rd generation. If her mother's health allows, AnnaW9241@aol.com may look up a 1850-75 Clermont marriage. I have only 1800-50. I'm guessing Wm Baldwin m Lydia Parker, Feb 18,1819 likely at OLD Bethel Methodist or nearby.I'M guessing,in Greenbrier Methodist,Wm Baldwin d Sept 22,1842 51 y g m 17 days was the same Wm Baldwin, and I know some Greenbrier people went to 5 MILE. JAMES AND LEAH PARKER,we are just told ,from Trenton,NJ are Lydia's Princeton? Atlantic Co?
