Several Baldwins are looking for a male Baldwin descendant of Eli Baldwin to participate in a DNA test. Eli, who appears in the Hannum Genealogy because of his second marriage, lived in Delaware County, and had sons who lived in both Delaware and Chester Counties, probably including William, Elwood, Isaac, Marshall, James, Alfred L., and Pratt. The purpose of the test is to confirm whether Eli could be the son of Levi Baldwin of New Castle County, Del., to whom Aubrey H. Baldwin attributed him, and to determine whether one of his probable descendants, who was adopted at an early age, in fact shares the same DNA pattern. The test involves only a swab from the inside of the cheek on a small stiff-bristled brush. The results identify a characteristic pattern that is passed unchanged from father to son, but do not extend to DNA characteristics that affect health or determine inherited traits. The results are completely confidential unless you choose to release them, or you authorize the testing laboratory to share contact information with people whose DNA closely matches yours. If you are a descendant of Eli, or any of the brothers Thomas, John and Francis Baldwin who came to Pennsylvania in 1682, you can help sort out some of the still-uncertain relationships, especially among descendants of Francis.
