I am trying to find out any information on one of my ancestors, Isaac Baldwin, Jr., who was supposedly a survivor of the Wyoming Massacre. In one article by Pat Krivak, it is mentioned that an Isaac Baldwin was sent by Col. Zebulon Butler to The Board of War in Philadelphia prior to the battle, requesting more reinforcements. Other information I have refers to Isaac being an Adjutant to Col. Butler. Any information would be appreciated. R. Baldwin

In Charles Miner's book History of Wyoming on page 158 he write that 2nd March 1774 Isaac Baldwin was a surveyors of Highways in what was formerly the town of Westmoreland but divided in into district , The index of the book also list Ebenezer Baldwin. , Gidion Baldwin, Sgt.Thomas Baldwin, page 284 July 29 1780 here were twenty-nine on the roll, At Hanover, to guard the mill, one lieutenant, one serjeant, and two privates, At Kingston one serjeant and fourteen men; and two on the sick list. Small detachments were frequently made for scouting parties the utmost vigilance being indispensable. On the 9th of June Capt. Franklin, with five men, being on a scout sixty miles up the river, at Wysox, took three prisoners, viz. Jacob Bowman, Adam Bowman and Henry Hoover, with according to the language of the day, a find lot of plundering, valued at 46 pounds 18 shillings and 11d. Captain Franklin and Serjeant Baldwin each shared a silver watch, several pocket compasses, silver buttons, and sleeve buttons; a scarlet broadcloth coat, several golf pieces, and a beautiful spy-glass, attest the consesequence of the prisoners. the canoes sold for 4 pounds 10 shillings. They were probably confidential messengers on public service from the enemy in New York, to Col. John Butler of Niagara. Col.Z Butler, purchased the spy-glass from the visitor, estimated at three guineas, hard money. Page 286 Capt Franklin and three men set out on a scout up the river early in September, At Toga Point, they came to where large parties had encamped, and saw two Indians. At Tioga they found a canoe, and in two easy days sail arrived at the Wyoming Fort on the 10th. A week previous Serjeants Baldwin and Searle's exchanged shots with Indians at Tunkhannock, took a horse and some plunder from them, which it is supposed the Indians had taken in the neighborhood of fort Allen, near the Lehi Water gap. On page 302 the Sergeant is referred to as Thomas Baldwin. and in the appendix of the book stories about the Wyoming Massacre called the Hazleton Traveler it reads they chose Thomas Baldwin to be their leader, and himself to be second in command, Making their way up the river with all possible celerity, they were satisfied, when they reached the path on the mountain nearly opposite Frenchtown, that the enemy had not passed. further down the page it says Capt. Baldwin received a rifle ball in the hand which nearly disabled him, but Thomas Baldwin was every inch a soldier, and still exerting himself he led on the cheered his men. Sorry hope this will help you.

Thank you for your help. My ancestor graduated Yale in 1774, so I don't think he would have been a surveyor at that time - went into law. R.
