To David mlydeb@axs2k.net and other BALDWIN researchers in Crawford County. Here are the references to that surname I found in the "History of Crawford County, PA, 1885." On page 1052, in the Biographical Sketch section for Spring Township: "Henry West, Jr., carpenter, millwright and farmer, PO Springboro, is a native of this township, born January 5, 1836; son of Henry and Sally West, natives of New York, who came to Crawford County in 1822, and are at present residing in the central part of this township, into which they came fifty-five years ago. They were parents of nine children, six now living. Our subject, who is the fourth in the family, was married in September, 1858, to Julia A. BALDWIN, a native of Erie County, Penn. To this union were born five children, three now living: Ed B., Austin M., and Orrin R. Mr. and Mrs. West are members of the Christian Church, in which he is a Deacon and Superintendent of Sabbath-school. In addition to his trades, our subject owns and works a farm of eighty acres. He is a Past Grand in the I.O.O.F.; in politics is a Republican." On page 1143, in the Bio Sketch section for Woodcock Township: "William A. Balliet, farmer, PO Long's Stand, was born in Woodcock Township, this county, November 25, 1829, son of Joseph and Mary (Swart) Balliet, who came from Lehigh County and settled here about 1825, the former of whom was a son of Daniel Balliet, and of French descent, the latter a daughter of Daniel Swartz, formerly of Lehigh County, Penn., and an early settler of Woodcock Township, this county, locating here about 1825. Joseph Balliet had four children: William A., Lavina, wife of Augustus Sweeney, of Vernon Township, this county; Angeline, wife of David McFadden, of Meadville, and Matilda, wife of John S. Bell. Our subject was married, February 3, 1878, to Hattie A., daughter of Edmund and Philena (BALDWIN) Smith, formerly of New York, of Summerhill Township, this county, by whom he had two children: Joseph E. and Charles W. Mr. Balliet's wife died November 9, 1882. He has always lived in this township, and now owns the homestead first settled by his father, who died in 1869, at the age of sixty-six. His mother is still living." That's all for BALDWIN in this source! Kathy Brubaker Volunteer Genealogist Linesville Historical Society kbrbkr@toolcity.net
