Family/Spouse: Richard BALDWIN. Richard was born in of County Bucks, England; died between 6 Jan and 21 Feb 1552/3. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Name:
Joseph was one of the first settlers in Milford, in 1639, and his name appears Nov. 20, of that year, in the first list of free planters.

There is the following evidence that he was brother to Nathaniel and Timothy:
The earliest records of Milford are not in existence, but the "3rd book" contains a transcript of "the most necessary things contained in the two former books," transcribed by major Robert Treat, and six others as Committee, Jan. 7, 1677, Samuel Eells being appointed to do the writing.

In this transcribed book, Joseph Baldwin has, December, 1648 a division adjoining Timothy Baldwin's half division. he also has, in a transcription of the "long narrow book," in 1649, 4 acres, be it more or less, in the New Meadow plain, bounded with Timothy Baldwin west, with the common N. & E., and with Wm. Fowlers E. (S!).

The transcription of the "long narrow book" was made December ye 23, 1700, by Richard Bryan. Ap'l 24th, 1654, he hath liberty granted him "for exchange and lay down one piece of land, and take up another for it, in the New Meadow Plain next his bothers' land, that he formerly laid down to the town again."

On the 13th Dec., of the same year, he "having formerly made writing to ye Court, & now reviews it againe for liberty to exchange that land of his, or some part of it that lieth near to his brother, to take it up next unto him, for his ease in sending, which was granted unto him."

The homestead of Joseph was on lot 52, on West Farm street opposite, joining rears or nearly so, with the homestead of Timothy. The present new York and new Haven Railroad is very nearly on the line of the two. It seems to be clear that Joseph was the brother of timothy, and if so, of Nathaniel, as these last two were brothers, as appears by page 118 of the same volume, in Milford Records. Joseph was probably the youngest as he is named last in his father's will. There can be no practical doubt that Timothy, Nathaniel and Joseph were the three of that name, sons of Richard, of Cholesbury, County Bucks, England, whose will was proved in 1633, and whose children disappeared from Bucks. Cholesbury joins Anston Clinton, whence came most of the other Baldwins of Milford.
