Thank You, James http://www.fortunecity.com/victorian/rodin/297/gene.html >> Hi James, I believe we have corresponded before and we both have our Asa as the son of Zebulon.. I found the following in the Daughters of the American Revolution Lineage Books under several applications "Asa Baldwin (1764-1827) and Chloe Underhill, his wife...Vermont militia, 1781...He was born in Mansfield, Conn., and died in Weston, Vt." The Baldwin Genealogy by Charles Candee Baldwin states that Zebulon was "Born in Spencer, Mass; he removed to Vershire, Vt, and according to the Worcester, MA VR, had the following children: Frederick, Zadoc, Elon, Asa and one more." The marriage records of Longmeadow state that Lucy Bliss, daughter of Pelatiah Bliss, married Asa Baldwin of Vershire, VT. He died February, 1821, in West Fairlee, VT. In a hand-typed Baldwin Genealogy which I found in the Salt Lake City LDS library entitled "Other Eleazor Baldwins, on page 20 I quote "Eleazer Baldwin, born Mar 11, 1725/25 in Billerica, Mass. Married Elizabeth Wright of Mansfield, Conn. in 1751...Children...Asa born 1764 in Mansfield, died July 27, 1827." It also states on page 21 "It [a printout he mentions] also shows a son named Eleazor born to Asa Baldwin and Cloe Underhill in 1799." I'm sorry, I did not copy the cover page or the author's name. I think I've finally learned better now. I was a beginning genealogist at that time. This definitely says to me that Asa who married Chloe Underhill from Mansfield is not Zebulon's son, Asa, born in Vershire. There is a further complication in that Aubrey Baldwin who prepared the Revised Baldwin Genealogy states that Asa Baldwin of Vershire married Lucy Sheldon, quoting from the Sheldon Genealogy. I also have an E-mail from Chris Wanamaker ([email protected]) who did a look-up for me in the Baldwin Genealogy and he states "Asa who married Chloe Underhil is in this genealogy. He was the son of Elezear who was the son of Thomas...There is a Zebulon who wa b in Spencer, MA, and removed to Vershire, VT...He was the son of David b 1701. Zebulon had Frederick, Zadoc who settled in Ohio, Elon, Asa, and one other..." He does not give documentation, and as I do have documentation of Asa's marriage to Lucy Bliss stating that Asa is from Vershire, I am sticking with the Baldwin/Bliss marriage. The following might be of interest to you, if you have not found it. In Vermont Land Records, State Papers of Vermont, Vol 5, Land Grant Petitions 1778-1800 there is a "Petition for Undesignated Vermont land, Spencer, Mass, 3 June 1780" which includes the names of Asa, Joseph, Levi, Zerubbable, Zebulon, Jabez Baldwin. Good luck in your research. If you get any conflicting documentation, refuting the above, please let me know. We'll get these Baldwins straight sooner or later. Anne Benson [email protected]
