***Captain John Baldwin

Son of William Baldwin

Captain John Baldwin, a veteran of the Revolutionary War was born February 21, 1749 near Jerrardstown, Virginia  and died April 21, 1820 near Cook, Ohio in Fayette County. and reared in Berkeley County, Va., where he married Hannah Simmons (Seaman?).  This marriage resulted in 12 children (six sons and six daughters). John was the Captain of a Militia Company that he raised and equipped was made up of men from Berkeley County.  During his enlistment he paid the men in his militia for their services and thus, John Baldwin, exhausted all of a large personal fortune.  He was repaid by the Continental Congress with money that had been greatly depreciated in value.  This money was rendered almost worthless and as the saying went, “It ain’t worth a Continental.”

John Baldwin received a large tract of land in the Virginia Military Reservation (Land Tract), which he partly located in Range Township, Madison County and partly in Madison Township, Fayette County, Ohio.  The land was tract No. 9721 in the Wallace-Baldwin Survey. This area of the state was to be named after General George Washington under which Captain John Baldwin served and the French General Marquis de La Fayette. Thus, Washington Court House and Fayette County were so named to honor those two Revolutionary War heroes.

In late 1811, John Baldwin sold his possessions and left Virginia on the Before mentioned land December 31, 1811.  His wife Hannah Simmons died before he left Virginia, but his twelve living children came with him. Captain John Baldwin died in 1820 and was buried on a farm near Cook, Ohio in Madison Township, Fayette County, Ohio.

Does anybody know if Thomas Baldwin & wife Mary had another son who was not in the 1850 census? He would have been married by then. I am trying to see if they were the parents of Simeon (or Simmons)Baldwin. His marriage certificate states he was from Putnam county IN. He married Parthena Carpenter in Boone county KY in 1848.

Seeking information about Sarah Baldwin m. John Roberts. Her father is William Baldwin married to Susannah ? . Need descendants and any other information. I understand there is a WILL listing 9 children. A copy of the WILL would be great. Thank you.
I have several questions.
1.Does anyone have a transcript of John Baldwin's WILL It was dated April 14, 1755 and probated March 27, 1760 in Amelia Co.,Va.
2.He was married to Elizabeth. Is her last name Hood?
3.John had a daughter named Martha. Did she marry a Nunnally?
4.Who did his daughter Elizabeth marry?
5.His son George. Did he have a son George,Jr.?
thank you for the help.
Hi Mary,
I had a message you posted 12 Apr 2004 in my ancestry database about your James Andrew Nunneley and Emma Jane Gaby..... I never got the chance to work on it.
I just recvd a query from their G-grand-daughter "Cindy" who said he was the son of John Robert Nunneley and Rhoda [Gaust] - but she doesn't know any more about them except what's in the census records.
I would sure like to hear from you - having any Nuneley in my database without a "family" drives me nuts.

Question.... Baldwin ? Have you found or do you think there is a kinnection between your James Andrew Nunneley and Anderson Nunneley & Martha [Baldwin] who died in Hickman Co TN ???
JAMES ANDREW NUNNELEY (son of John Robert Foster Nunneley and Rhoda J. Guest)
born / Apr 1858 / Yamhill Co. OR
died / CA / date unproven / in Butte Co. CA ???
married / 30 Apr 1885 / Yuba Co CA to:
EMMA JANE GABY
born / 1 Jul 1863 (date unproven) dau of Gaby and McDonald
died / 14 Jun 1954 / Sacramento Co CA

Possible issue:
Rufus J. (1884-1973)
Ferris James (1886-1946)
David Gaby "Dick" (1887-1959)
Gladys V. (1889-1986)
Collis (1894-1899)
Hollis (1898-1971)
Lawton James "Lot" 1899-1958)

NOTE: marriage date of James and Emma and date of birth of first child, Rufus J. Dates need to be researched further.

Parents of John Robert Foster Nunneley (1831-1897) were Joseph Alexander Nunneley and Nancy Easley. His grandparents were Anderson Nunneley and Martha Baldwin. Parents of Rhoda J. Guest Nunneley (1834-1931) are unknown to me.

Catherine Baldwin born circa 1798 VA.
Married 1819 Warren Co NC Kenner/Kennon Fowlkes.
Had a brother St Clair, sister Mary and possibly
another sister. Could her father have been a
John Baldwin? Mother unk. Thanks for your help

 Baldwin Brothers - Iron County, MO 1880 to 1900+
Posted by: Marilyn (ID *****5444)Date: April 04, 2007 at 22:21:42
  of 6920


Between 1880 and 1900+ there were 4 Baldwin Brothers and their sister living in Iron County, Missouri. Their names are Thomas Thaddeus, John T., and Lucy were all born before 1860, probably in Kentucky; and James R. and Joseph Lewis/Louis born in Missouri before 1870.

According to the 1860 federal census the family was living in Butler County, Missouri. By 1880, the brothers were living in Iron County, MO (1880 census). In 1881,John T. married Estella Moser in Iron County. Estella is part of the Moser family that I am researching. Estella and my grandfather were first cousins. Estella's father, George, was one of three Moser brothers who lived in or near Iron County between 186? and 1900: George A., James W., and Jacob Lewis.

In the 1900 census, John T. and Stella were still living in Iron County; in 1910, they were in Creek County, OK; in 1920, in Hinds County, Mississippi; and in 1930, in Madison County, Mississippi,with their son T. Richard.

I would like to make contact with descendents of both the Baldwin and Moser families. I am trying to learn more about my Moser ancestors who were living in Iron County, especially the descendants of George A. and James W. Their brother, Jacob Lewis Moser, died about 1873, and left his wife and 1 child. I have made contact with that line. George A. and his wife had several children who grew up in Iron County. John T. and Stella had 9 children born there. Sometime after 1900 George A. and his family moved to Kansas. James W. lived in Texas sometime in the 1880's and 1890's. In 1868, he had married Visa Grayum in Iron County. James died in 1893 or 4, and in 1900 his wife and 2 sons were living in Iron County. The older son, Odie Moser had married Effie Rencehausen in Iron County around 1898.

There was also a P.A. Moser who married Flora Tong in the early 1900's. Research by one of his descendants ties P. A. to my extended Moser family, but we can't figure out how.

 Re: St Clair Balwin of Amelia VA
Posted by: William Baldwin (ID *****2004)Date: April 10, 2007 at 08:38:37
In Reply to: St Clair Balwin of Amelia VA by P.H. Smith of 6920


I have a Baldwin Genforum Post dated February 17, 1999 from a Rose Branham, rbanham@zoomnet.net. She states that St. Clair Baldwin born Amelia County, Virginia and married Sarah Pillar, January 1, 1821. Moved to Hickman County, Kentucky before 1830.

To my knowledge the only Baldwin Family that comes close to being a connection to a St. Clair Baldwin is the children or unknown sibling of Samuel Brassfield Baldwin born: March 26, 1805, married a close Baldwin relation Susan E. Baldwin born: 1811 of Prince Edward County, Va.. They married October 25, 1827, Prince Edward County, Va.. Samuel’s son John R. Baldwin born: Oct 6, 1828 Appromattox, Virginia died: Nov 4, 1901, Osceloa, St. Clari County, Missouri; is the only documented son that traveled west to Missouri. Other sons: Charles Baldwin born abt. 1830, Prince Edward County, Va. Buried St. Clair County, Missouri, Vol. 1 by Eliz P. Ellsberry; James W. Baldwin born 1832, also died St. Clair County, Mo.; As well as, sister Mary Frances Baldwin born 1838, died St. Clair County, Mo.. There were other sons in the family with no record, that may have been older, one of these sons may have changed his name to St. Clair or the County may have been named after him. Or more possibly Samuel Brassfield may have had a unknown brother whom went west to Missouri before Samuel’s children migrated. Samuel Brassfield was an only son of Little John Baldwin born: 1770. Another close fact, is that on the way to Missouri Samuel’s son John R. lived for a time in Russellville, Logan County, Kentucky east of Hickman County, Kentucky but in the same part of the state.

St Clair Baldwin b 1800 married to Sarah Mariah Pillow in 1826 in Amelia Co and they then lived in Nottoway. They left with Sarah's brother William Claiborne Pillow of Nottoway and many other related members of the family in 1831/2 for Wilson Co TN . William Pillow died in 1834 and at some point after this is when St Clair and Sarah left with his sister Martha Baldwin and her husband Kenner(Cannon) Fowlkes for Hickman KY. They have nothing to do with St Clair MO or these later born Baldwins. The actual St Clair surname was that of a famous General prior to the Rev War. A town was named for him in Holston area of western VA. St Clair or rather the proper Sinclair is a surname and my thinking was that perhaps the mother was a Sinclair married to a Baldwin. It is also possible this is a middle name . Pat
