I have posted before on here. I will try again in hopes someone out there
will be able to make a connection.
BALDWINS: trying to find information on:
William George -NY to WI
Family story passed down that William George Baldwin came from England.
My Dad was told that they couldn't bring their money with them because
they were Irish.
Here is what is known:
1870 Censes records show that William George
BALDWIN (39) was living in Wisconsin with his wife Mary (Starks)(29) and
four Children: Frank ,9, Nelly 7, and Fred 5 and Matty 2.
All the Children listed here were born in New York.
He does not show up in the Censes records for 1860.
He married Mary Starks, (b. Vermont), on November 4,1858 in
Weyauwega. WI. The marriage was registerd on Nov 22,1858.
(There is a family story he went to Canada to avoid the Civil War. )
This leads one to believe he left WI For some reason between 1858 and
1870, but decided to return.
Following records of Children:
Census records show: for 1890: Town of Norse in Ashland Co. Frank
Baldwin born Apr 1861 New York, age 39 (William George and Mary's son)
no wife or children listed. My Dad said he had two children. One son was also
named Frank.
Columbia County Portage :
Samantha (Matty) born 1868 in NY , m to Frank Kaiser - one child living-
Catherine born Sept 1891.

(Johnson) Eugene Baldwin born Mar 1874 Wisconsin, age 26 (my
grandfather) M to Ola Surrepta Beck
Johnson was raised by his maternal Aunt : Cornelia Starks and her husband
Johnson Tarr as his mother died a week after childbirth and his Dad died when
Johnson was four
Children of Johnson and Ola:
Edward born April

Dorothy born May 1900 .
(My father Marshall Eugene was born in
