Notes:

James and Charlotte Baldwin Russell were married by Dr. Francis Silver, who later served as the administrator of the estate of Charlotte's father, Samuel. Charlotte Baldwin Russell was received by letter at the Salt Creek Baptist Church in Muskingum County, Ohio, on 3 September 1840. She is also recorded as becoming a member by letter at the same church on 3 September 1842. She was "excluded" by the church on 2 December 1848. She may also be the Mrs. Russell who was baptized by the church on 2 October 1831 and dismissed on 2 August 1834. In 1880, she was living in Washington Township, Muskingum County, Ohio, with John and Matilda Mitchlett. In the 1900 census of Perry Township, Muskingum County, Ohio, Charlotte's son, Samuel, gave her birthplace as Virginia.

Birth:
Charlotte's death record states that she was born in Muskingum County, Ohio, but the 1850, 1860, and 1870 censuses all say Virginia. However, the 1880 census says she was born in Ohio.

The name in the church record of the person baptized on this date is Mrs. Russell. Although not proven, it is likely that the record refers to Charlotte Baldwin Russell.

Church Record:
The name in the church record of the person dismissed by the church on this date is Mrs. Russell. Although not proven, it is likely that the record refers to Charlotte Baldwin Russell.

Other Events and Attributes:

• Census: 1820, Perry Township, Muskingum County, Ohio, USA

Notes:

This is probably the same Samuel Baldwin listed as a member of Class No. 9, 56th Regiment, 2nd Battalion, Loudoun County Militia, Captain George Rust's Company, on 15 September 1794. In October 1794, the regiment was in western Pennsylvania active in suppressing the Whiskey Rebellion. About 20 years after that, George Rust purchased a plantation as part of the settlement of the estate of Peter Romine, possibly the grandfather of Samuel Baldwin's wife. Samuel and Hannah Baldwin moved to Ohio from Loudoun County, Virginia, sometime between 1807, when their daughter Charlotte was born, and 1809, when Samuel signed a deed in Belmont County. On 30 May 1809, Samuel purchased 80 acres of land in Muskingum County from James Johnston of Steubenville, for $400. He is listed on the 1814 tax list of Muskingum County, Ohio. When he died intestate in 1830, the land passed to his children. By 1857, his son James had bought out the other heirs and owned the farm. Several of his children gave Samuel's place of birth as Virginia, rather than Pennsylvania, in the 1880 census.

Samuel married Hannah Romine in cir 1804. Hannah (daughter of Peter Romine and Ruth Burson) was born on 23 Apr 1785 in Virginia, USA; was christened in Aug 1816 in Salt Creek Baptist Church, Smith Mill, Muskingum County, Ohio, USA; died on 27 Mar 1858 in Muskingum County, Ohio, USA; was buried in Salt Creek Baptist Church Cemetery, Smith Mill, Muskingum County, Ohio, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Other Events and Attributes:

• Relationship not proven: The people listed as Hannah's siblings were definitely siblings of each other, but there is no proof yet that they are also Hannah's siblings.
• Relationship to parents not proven: There is indirect evidence only that Hannah's maiden name was Romine. If so, Peter Romine and Ruth Burson may have been her parents.
• Census: 1850, Perry Township, Muskingum County, Ohio, USA

Notes:

A John Baldwin was listed on the tax list of Middletown Township, Bucks County, Pennsylvania, in 1761. He was single and identified as living at "Watson's." He appeared again as a single man on the tax list for 1762. The Watson referred to in the tax list was probably John Watson (1703-1764), who moved from Bristol to Middletown Township, in 1734. John Watson had a brother, Mark (1698-1749), who had married Ann Sotcher, an aunt of Mercy Sotcher Baldwin. John Baldwin may have been introduced to his future wife while working for John Watson. A John Baldwin was listed on the 1764 tax list of Lower Makefield Township, Bucks County. This could have been the same John Baldwin, after his marriage and after the death of his employer, John Watson. This was the last mention of this John Baldwin in Bucks County, Pennsylvania. John Baldwin first appeared in Loudoun County, Virginia, records in 1769, when his name appeared on the list of Loudoun County Tithables. He appeared on the list again in 1770, 1773, 1774, 1781, and 1785.

Signed Peter Romine in the presence of Joseph Read, Edward B. Grady, Jonathan Warters.
At a Court held for Loudoun County Dec. 8th, 1800 This Mortgage was proved by the oaths of the subscribing witnesses thereto and ordered to be recorded.

John Baldwin is listed on the Loudoun County Tax List of 1785 and in a Loudoun County court record of 1793.

John married Mercy Sotcher on 4 Apr 1763 in Dutch Reformed Church, Churchville, Bucks County, Pennsylvania, USA. Mercy (daughter of Robert Sotcher and Mercy Brown) was born in cir 1740 in Falls Township, Bucks County, Pennsylvania, USA; died on 7 Jun 1819 in Loudoun County, Virginia, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Mercy Sotcher Baldwin was disowned by the Falls Monthly Meeting of Friends on 7 July 1763, for marrying out of unity. One source gives her birth date as 22 Dec 1732, but most sources say she was born cir 1740.

Other Events and Attributes:

• Relationship not proven: There is indirect evidence only that Peter Romine and Ruth Burson are the parents of the listed children.

Notes:

Peter Romine was involved in a lawsuit in Loudoun County, Virgina, USA (see https://bryan-martin.net/genealogy/showmedia.php?mediaID=4496&medialinkID=4303) which mentions that as executor of his father's estate he had Elias Kent, possibly his son-in-law, and Christopher Snyder inhabit the plantation of his father, Peter Romine.

Peter Romine appears on Loudoun County, Virginia, USA, tax lists for 1804, 1805, 1806, 1807, 1809, 1810, 1811, and 1812, but not thereafter, so he may have moved away from Loudoun County around 1812. There is a Peter Romine on the 1835 tax list, but this may be a different Peter Romine.

Died:
There is indirect evidence only that links this death date and the estate record below to the Peter Romine who married Ruth Burson. It is difficult to know when he died. His estate record contains an undated receipt from Samuel Baldwin stating that he received payment for boarding Peter Romine for 2 years and 4 months. Since he began caring for Peter in December 1821, then Peter's death probably occurred in March or April 1824. Another document in the estate record states that Samuel Baldwin was to be paid $1.50 per day for boarding Peter "continued til April the 18th 1824", so Peter may have died on that day. Another receipt in the estate record is from James Taylor for "burying clothes", and that receipt is dated March 1824. However, there is another receipt in the estate record from Benjamin Williams for "six dollars for a coffin". The date of that receipt seems to read "November the 13th 1822".

Peter married Ruth Burson on 27 Feb 1768 in Virginia, USA. Ruth (daughter of George Burson and Sarah Cox) was born in cir 1745. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Other Events and Attributes:

• Relationship not proven: There is indirect evidence only that Peter Romine and Ruth Burson are the parents of the listed children.

Notes:

On 27 February 1768, Ruth Burson was reported married out of unity at the Fairfax (Virginia) Monthly Meeting of the Society of Friends. On 28 May 1768, she was disowned.

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.

Joseph married Ann Tomlinson in 1729 in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, USA. Ann was born in cir 1705. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Robert Sotcher was married "out of meeting" in 1731, but was cleared by the Falls Friends Monthly Meeting and reinstated on 4 June 1731. He and his family lived in New Jersey.
