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 940, in the Biographical Sketch section for Randolph Township: "Henry P. Steadman, farmer, PO Guy's Mills, was born in Rome Township, this county, December 18, 1863; son of Perry and Esther (BALDWIN) Steadman, the former of whom was born in East Fallowfield Township, this county, May 31, 1829; the latter in New York State, March 2, 1831. They were married July 28, 1849, and had a family of ten children, six of whom are now living, viz.: Alvah D. and Catharine M., Cyrus W., Mary E., Henry P., and Effie E. Our subject received a common school education. During the winter seasons for several years he worked in a saw-mill. In the spring of 1884 he rented a farm of fifty acres and began life for himself. Mr. Steadman was married October 4, 1880, to Miss Mary Grinnell, a native of Crawford County, Penn., born September 7, 1863, daughter of Morris B. and Maggie (Aimes) Grinnell, early settlers of Greenwood Township, this county, both now deceased. To this union were born two children: Jeptha and Maggie. Our subject is an industrious young man, and is destined to be a successful farmer. He is a member of the United Brethren Church. Politically, he is a Republican." On page 949, in the Bio Sketch section for Richmond Township: "Thomas W. Green, farmer, PO New Richmond, was born in Jefferson County, NY, May 1, 1822. His education was very limited, as he had to work most of the time when a boy, and had but little time to attend school. He entered upon his career in life as a farmer, an occupation he has since followed, and by energy and enterprise has prospered well. He left his home in New York State for the West in 1840, and settled in Richmond Township, this county, where he has now a farm well cultivated, and a pleasant home. Mr. Green was married July 7, 1845, to Miss Mary E. BALDWIN, by whom he has seven children, viz.: Pembroke, Charles, Francis, Sarah, Rhoda, Ann and Bertha, all living." On page 1011, in the Bio Sketch section for Spring Township: "Isaac S. BALDWIN, farmer, PO Springboro, was born in Whiting, Vt., June 28, 1816, son of Miles and Betsy BALDWIN, former a native of Ruthland, Vt., latter of Grantham, NH. They came to this county in 1829 with three children, and took up a farm of fifty acres in the center of Spring Township. Two of the three children are now living. Miles BALDWIN was a farmer. He held several township offices. His wife died in May, 1844. He died February, 1854, in his native township. Our subject, the youngest in the family, commenced farming when nineteen years of age, working for two years at $13 per month. After a two years' illness, he, in 1839, worked on the Erie Extension Canal as stone mason for one year, and became contractor on the canal for five years. He then purchased a farm, on which he remained one year; following year he again worked on the canal, returning again to the farm with his family. Mr. BALDWIN then went to Ohio and contracted with his brother to grade forty-six miles of the Ashtabula & Lisbon RR, on completion of which contract he returned home, and has since been engaged in farming. He was married, October 9, 1839, to Betsy C. Parish, a native of Orleans County, Vt., born March 9, 1821. By this union were born nine children, six now living, viz.: Elizabeth, widow of Henry Green; Elmer D.; John P.; Ellen S., wife of James Corbett; Mary B., wife of Bart Brennan; and Leonore, wife of Peter Rackner. Our subject and wife have been members of the Christian Church over thirty years. He has been Justice of the Peace ten years; has held several township officers; in politics is a Republican. He, along with others, built the first steam saw-mill in this section in 1843." One more post to follow on BALDWIN!
