- After the death of Joseph's father, Samuel Baldwin, in 1830, Adam Shoemaker was appointed guardian of his minor children. Joseph was reported to be 4 years old on 14 Aug 1830. On 12 April 1847, Joseph Baldwin, aged 20, requested that James McCracken be made his guardian. Adam Shoemaker had died in 1843. If these ages, 4 and 20, are correct, Joseph must have been born between 12 April 1826 and 14 August 1826.
