  1. 1.  John BALDWIN was christened on 28 Oct 1635 in Parish Aston Clinton, County Bucks, England; died on 19 Aug 1683 in Stonington, New London, Connecticut, USA.

    Notes:

    Name:
    John Baldwin, of Stonington, Connecticut, was son of Sylvester, who died on the passage to American, 21 June 1638, and brother of Richard, of Milford. His identity is established, beyond all question, by legal proceedings after the death of his son John. He was baptized in Parish Aston Clinton, County Bucks, England, 28 October 1635, and no doubt then quite young. Sylvester Baldwin's family being part of the "new haven Company," moved to that place. John was married to his first wife in 1656. According to he records, a home lot, of an acre and a half, was assigned to him, and he received other grants of land in Milford. His first wife died in 1657, soon after the birth of her son John. Miss Calkins says his name appears in the New London records occasionally after 1654. His descendants, John D., of Worcester, says 1664. He was in Milford in 1658, and one of the heroes of New London, who had the strife with men of Lyme, in 1671, about the boundary line. On the 24th of July, 1672, he married Rebecca Palmer, daughter of the first Walter Palmer, of Stonington, and young widow of Elisha Cheesborough. They settled in Stonington, where she owned a large tract of land. She outlived him about thirty years, and died May 2, 1713.

    John the father, died 19 August, 1683. John Baldwin was in the famous difference between New London and Lyme. A meadow at Black Point, claimed by both towns, had been reserved by each for the respective clergymen of the towns. The war was in 1671. About thirty New London men, among whom were the leading persons in the town, went to mow the grass for their minister, and were met and resisted by a party from Lyme, there on a similar errand for 'their' minister. there was strife; and constables were there, and justices too, so that warrants and arrests were well mixed up with blows. A general melee took place, wit no very great harm. The cooler heads finally agreed to let the law decide the matter, and "drank a dram together with some seeming friendship." Each party was indicted; and as no disinterested men could be found in that county, the were tried at Hartford - twenty-one men of New London, and fifteen of Lyme. The town of New London was fined L15, and Lyme L9.

    John Baldwin was complained of by a Lyme man for bruising him with a cudgel. President Dwight says the two towns agreed to submit it to a combat, two being selected by each, of whom the Lyme champions beat. This late appeal to "wager of battle" is dubious.

    John married Rebecca PALMER on 24 Jul 1672 in Stonington, New London, Connecticut, USA. Rebecca (daughter of Walter PALMER and Rebecca SHORT) died on 02 May 1713 in Stonington, New London, Connecticut, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
