I'm Wayne Baldwin. Was born 22 November 1952, son of Charley Franklin
Baldwin and Florine Elizabeth Pullen (who married 7 June 1951). My
grandfather, Oscar Edward Baldwin (born 23 January 1903,died 26 April
1960), was a son of George Burket Baldwin (born 10 June 1880, died 22
May 1970), and Eliza Elizabeth Pullen (1885-1943). George Burket
Baldwin was a son of George Robert Baldwin (born 1845, died 9 December
1914) whose wife was Mary Elizabeth Dwyer (1854-1885). George Robert's
father was Thomas William Baldwin (born 1820, died 8 May 1888) a Private
in Company B, 12th Bat., Virginia Light Art., in C.S.A. under Capt. S.
Taylor Martin. Thomas married Grace Frazier circa 1840-1841, have not
found documentation yet. Thomas' parents were Allen Baldwin (1786-
17 October 1861) who married 1st Elizabeth Henderson in Mecklenburg Co.,
N. C., 1818. Allen married secondly, 3 June 1831, Culpeper co., Va.,
Melinda Wilson (1794-9 April 1901). Allen died in Putnam Co., WVA, and
Melinda at her home on Bullitt St., Charleston, WVA. Allen was in
War of 1812, serving under Capt. Pulliam. He received 160 acre Bounty
Land Warrant, which he sold. Land was in Clay Co., Nebraska. Have all
documents of his service from National Archives....in which he is known
by three different spellings or usages of his surname, i.e., Balden,
Baldick and Baldwin.
Allen's parents were William and Frances Baldwin (found Balldick and
Baldick in early Culpeper co., Va. records. William died prior to 1809,
Frances was alive in 1840 as per census that year in Rappahannock Co.,
Va.
A special note is that my great-grandfather told me his great-grand-
father, Allen Baldwin, came from England. That when he arrived here he
got drunk and threatened to "swim home".
Anyone with interest in conversing, perhaps have additional information
or knows any clues I might try please forward to me at my e-mail

Thanks,
