Generation: 5

  1. 18.  Joseph Baldwin was born in 1742 in Philadelphia, Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania, USA (son of Joseph Baldwin and Ann Tomlinson); died on 16 Aug 1827.

    Notes:

    Joseph Baldwin went from Chester County, Pennsylvania, to Loudoun County, Virginia, in 1773. He is thought to have served in the Revolutionary War. There is a record of a Joseph Baldwin who served as a Private in Captian Abel Westfall's Company of the 8th Virginia Regiment from 25 May 1776 to 30 April 1777, when he was reported to have deserted. Though the background of this Baldwin family was probably Quaker, there is almost no mention of them in Loudoun County Friends records. A single entry for 28 September 1783, shows that a Joseph Baldwin was received on request at Fairfax Monthly Meeting (now Waterford). Joseph Baldwin, Jr., must have inherited his father's lands in Shenandoah County. He apparently lived in Shenandoah County until at least 1818, when he moved to Shenango Township, Beaver (now Lawrence) County, Pennsylvania.

    Joseph married Mary Pettit in 1774 in Alexandria, Arlington County, Virginia, USA. Mary was born in cir 1750. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

    Other Events and Attributes:

    • Occupation: cooper

    Notes:

    In 1729, Joseph Baldwin was condemned by the Falls Monthly Meeting, Bucks County, Pennsylvania, for "marriage out of unity." He were later reinstated. On 17 September 1730, Joseph Baldwin was appointed constable of Bristol for a term of one year. Joseph Baldwin was originally from Bristol, Pennsylvania, but moved from there in 1734, first to Philadelphia and then to Marple Township, Chester County. He moved from Chester County, Pennsylvania, to Loudoun County, Virginia, with his wife, Ann, (sometimes called Susannah), by 1773. On 19 April 1773, he purchased 200 acres of land in Loudoun County from James and Rachel Maris of Newtown Township, Chester County. This land was probably at the site of present-day Hamilton, Virginia. His name appeared on the county's list of tithables 1773, 1774, 1775, 1777, 1778, and 1783. In September 1786, Joseph and his wife sold 43 acres of their land to a neighbor, George Tavenner, and in April 1793, they sold two more parcels to George Tavenner. Finally, on 7 September 1793, they sold the remaining 148 acres of land to Stacey Janney. On the same date, they purchased from Stacey Janney a tract of 161 acres in the southwest corner of Loudoun County. They sold this parcel about a year later and purchased 67 acres from William and Dinah Hand, located partly in Frederick County and partly in Shenandoah County. The county boundaries were redrawn, putting all of the land in Shenandoah County. The land lay near Front Royal, and when Warren County was formed from Shenandoah County in 1836, the land was in the new county. While residents of Loudoun County, the Baldwins were apparently connected with Ketocton Baptist Church. The records show an entry in May 1794 in which the clerk was directed to "give a letter of dismission to Sister Baldwin, at her request." This would have coincided with the family's move to Shenandoah County, but it is not clear who "Sister Baldwin" was. She could have been the wife of either Joseph Baldwin, Sr., or Joseph Baldwin, Jr.
