The large wave of Quaker immigrants which moved from England to Pennsylvania in the late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries included two brothers, John Baldwin and William Baldwin, both of whom settled in Bucks county, Pennsylvania, moving there from the Pendle Forest, in Lancashire. During the same period, other Quaker immigrants named Baldwin, probably unrelated, came from other parts of England, with the result that some accounts of the genealogy of John and William Baldwin are confused or incorrect. Although direct proof of the parentage of the two brothers is still not available, their father can be identified with near certainty as John Baldwin of Wheatley in Pendle Forest, an English Quaker who died in 1719. These web pages will set out, with documentation, what is known of the two immigrant brothers and their relatives in England.
Of the two brothers, John Baldwin of Makefield township, Bucks co., PA, made his first known appearance in the records at his first marriage in England, in 1697, to Jennet Hartley. [1] The couple received a certificate to move to America in 1698, and the fact that Jennet (Hartley) Baldwin was still alive after the trip to America is proven by her presence as a witness to the 1700 marriage, in America, of Robert Heaton to Jennet’s cousin Grace Pearson, who had in turn witnessed the Baldwin-Hartley marriage in England a few years earlier (and would also witness John Baldwin’s second marriage a few years later). It would seem that Jennet (Hartley) Baldwin did not survive for long after that, and a few years later, John Baldwin married for a second time to Ann Scott, by whom he was ancestor to a large percentage of Quaker Baldwins in the midwest.
Although he had visited America earlier, William Baldwin did not come to America to stay until 1714. The fact that he had a brother named John is clear from his will, which named his brother John “Baldwen” (as the name is often spelled in the early records) as one of his executors. Since John Baldwin of Makefield township came from the same small area of Lancashire as William, and the other known Pennsylvania Quakers named John Baldwin do not make feasible candidates as brothers of William Baldwin, the identity of John Baldwin of Makefield township with William’s brother of the same name is secure.
The parentage of the brothers is more difficult to document, and direct proof of the relationship has not yet been found. However, it is almost certain that they were the sons of John Baldwin of Wheatley, in Pendle Forest, who will be called “John Baldwin Sr.”, to distinguish him from the immigrant, and whose death on 25 twelfth month [February] [2] 1718/9 was recorded by the Marsden Monthly Meeting. It is probable that their mother’s name was Bridget. The evidence for that is as follows:
John Baldwin Sr. was said to be “of Gisborn” (i.e., the parish of Gisburn, co. York), and the 1855 biography of the immigrant William which appeared in The Friend (see below) gives his birthplace as “Gisbourn”.
The same biography of William Baldwin states that he was born “of parents professing the truth” (i.e., Quakers), thus verifying that his parents were members of the Society of Friends.
The records of the Marsden Monthly Meeting show only three Baldwins in a generation older than the two immigrant brothers, of whom two, Anthony and Margaret, brother and sister, both left wills which suggest that they had no children. This leaves John Baldwin Sr. as the only reasonable candidate for the father who appears in the Marsden records.
The residence of “Wheatley” given for John Baldwin Jr. at his first marriage is the same as the residence given for John Baldwin Sr. in his death record.
The immigrant William Baldwin and Elizabeth (Baldwin) Topper were prominent signers of each other’s marriage certificates.
The removal certificate of William “Balwin” to America refers to his parents as being living (“... his aged parents whom he leaves alone, ...”), and the two most prominent signers of that certificate were John “Balwin” and Briget “Balwin”. (William’s brother John was already in America, and was therefore certainly not the man of that name who signed the certificate.)
While none of these pieces of evidence gives direct proof of the relationship, together they make an extremely strong case that John Baldwin Sr. was the father of the two immigrant brothers. Indeed, the words “whom he leaves alone” in William Baldwin’s removal certificate indicate that his parents lived near him (i.e., in Pendle Forest), and we would then expect them to have been members of the Marsden Monthly Meeting. Thus, the lack of any other reasonable candidates for the parents of John and William Baldwin in the Marsden records has strong weight. The parentage of John Baldwin Sr. remains unknown, and the name is too common to identify him among possible baptisms in the area without additional information. One possible clue is presented by two other Baldwin members of the Marsden Monthly Meeting who have no proven connection to John Baldwin Sr., Anthony and Margaret Baldwin, both of whom left wills. Although the possibility remains that they represent a red herring, they still need to be investigated. For an account of Anthony Baldwin and Margaret Baldwin, and transcripts of their wills, click here .
Some unpublished sources, such as the Ancestral File database, have provided John Baldwin (husband of Ann Scott) with incorrect parents, easily proven to be false. These errors have arisen from incorrect identifications with different men named John Baldwin. The two false sets of “parents” which have been offered for John Baldwin are:
Francis Baldwin of Chester co., PA, who md. Cicely Coebourne.
Each of these couples did have a son named John, but in both cases the alleged identification of the son named John with the John Baldwin who married Ann Scott is false. In addition to the fact that the first of these couples is chronologically impossible, we can note that both of these couples were earlier immigrants to America, whose children were born in America, and therefore their sons cannot reasonably be identified with an individual who was married for the first time in England in the 1690’s. In addition to that, both of the John Baldwins who were born to the above two couples can be readily identified with other men. For the correct identification of the John Baldwins who were sons of these two couples, see Frank C. Baldwin, The Baldwins From Virginia Westward (Oak Park, IL, 1985), pp. 4, 56.
JohnA Baldwin, of Wheatley in Pendle
Forest, co. Lancaster, England, of unknown origin, appears for
the first known time in the records of the Marsden Monthly
Meeting of Friends (Quakers) in the year 1675 [3], when his residence was given as “Gisborn”
(i.e., Gisburn), co. York. At that time, he was a member of the
Sawley Meeting of Friends, one of the Preparative Meetings which
was under the jurisdiction of the Marsden Monthly Meeting. On 29
July 1684, the constable of Rimington (in the parish of Gisburn)
reported John Baldwin and his wife, along with other Quakers in
the area, for being absent from church. [4] By 1693, he was said to be living at “Ing
End”, [5] which has not been
precisely identified, but was certainly one of the two places
called “Ings End” and “Ing Ends”, both of which are small
villages not far south of Gisburn. In July of 1700, he was of “Old
Laund” in Pendle Forest, when his house was certified as a
religious meeting place according to the recently passed Act of
Toleration. [6] At the time of his
death, he was of “Wheatley,” in Pendle Forest. [7] The name of John Baldwin’s wife is
uncertain, but it seems likely that his wife was the same person
as the Briget “Balwin” who, along with John “Balwin”,
signed the certificate of removal of William “Balwin” from
the Marsden Monthly Meeting to Pennsylvania on 7 1mo. [Mar.]
1713/4. [8] John Baldwin of
Wheatley in Pendle Forest d. 22 bur. 15 12mo. [Feb.] 1718/9. [9]
Children of John Baldwin (order uncertain): [10]
+1. John1 Baldwin, d. 19 1mo. [Jan.] 1757, md.
1st 11 12mo. [Feb.] 1696/7, Jennet Hartley, md. 2nd 8 12mo.
[Feb.] 1707/8, Ann Scott.
2. Mary Baldwin, b. 1 8mo. [Oct.] 1675, bur. 17 7mo. [Sep.] 1677.
+3. William1 Baldwin, b. 1677?, d. 29 or 30
6mo. [Aug.] 1720, md. 28 9mo. [Nov.] 1710, Mary Beakbaine.
4. Elizabeth Baldwin, b. 1 5mo. [July] 1679, d. 24 4mo. [June]
1713, md. at Marsden Height, co. Lancaster, 25 4mo. [June] 1712,
James Topper of Little Marsden. The records of the Settle Monthly
Meeting in Yorkshire show a marriage of James Topper of Reedley
(about a mile from Little Marsden) to Elizabeth Parsons on 5 8mo.
[Oct] 1716, [11] and this is
possibly a second marriage for the same James Topper.
5. Mary Baldwin, b. 21 2mo. [Apr] 1687, bur. 11 11mo. [Jan.]
1693/4.
John1 Baldwin (JohnA),
b. possibly in co. York, [12]
England, probably either in the late 1660’s or (more likely)
the early 1670’s, [13] died
19th 1mo. [Jan.] 1757. [14] At
the time of his first marriage in early 1697, he was living in
Wheatley, in Pendle Forest, co. Lancaster, about 7 miles south of
Gisburn. He md. 1st, at the house of Roger Hartley of Oldham in
Trawden Forest, co. Lancaster, 11 12mo. [Feb] 1696/7, [15] Jennet Hartley, b. 30 1mo.
[Mar.] 1668, [16] daughter of
Roger and Alice (Veepon) [17]
Hartley of Chamber in Little Marsden, co. Lancaster. At a
Preparative Meeting held at Marsden Height on 13 9mo. [Nov.]
1698, Henry Mitchel, Robert Brewer, Henry Whalley, and John
Baldwen junior obtained leave to put there intentions of removing
to Pennsylvania before the next Monthly Meeting. [18] Of these four men, Henry Mitchell [19] and Robert Brewer [20] are known to have come to
America aboard the ship Britannia, as did many others who left
for America at this time, including John Baldwin’s future
second wife Ann Scott and her parents, and Jennet Baldwin’s
cousin Grace Pearson (whose mother was a Veepon), a signer of
John Baldwin’s marriage certificates for both his first and
second marriage. Thus, it is probable that John and Jennet
Baldwin were also among the passengers who came to America on the
Britannia, but their actual presence on that ship has not
been proven. The Britannia sailed from Liverpool, first
arriving at Cork, Ireland where they took on provisions and
sailed toward America before 20 3mo. [May] 1699. The voyage was a
disastrous one, as a plague (probably yellow fever) broke out
aboard the ship, and many of the passengers died at sea or soon
after arriving in Philadelphia. The Britannia arrived in
Philadelphia on 24 Aug 1699 with its sick and weak survivors. In
any case, even if John and Jennet Baldwin sailed on some other
ship that left at about the same time, they certainly arrived in
Pennsylvania before 8 3mo. [May] 1700, on which date Jennet
Baldwin signed the marriage certificate of Robert Heaton and
Grace Pearson. [21] The date of
death of Jennet (Hartley) Baldwin has not been discovered, but it
was probably well before 7 11mo. [Jan.] 1707/8, when John Baldwin
and Ann Scott first appeared before the Falls Monthly Meeting in
Bucks co., PA, to declare their intention of marrying. [22] John Baldwin md. 2nd, at the
Falls Meeting House in Bucks co., PA, on 12mo. [Feb.] 1707[/8], [23] Ann Scott, b. 25 6mo. [Aug.]
1688, [24] d. 9 11mo. [Jan.]
1741/2, [25] daughter of John
and Jane (Bond) Scott, who had also been passengers aboard the Britannia.[26] The marriage certificate gave
John Baldwin’s occupation as weaver, and listed Makefield
township, Bucks co., PA as his place of residence. On 3 7mo.
[Sep.] 1729, [27] John Baldwin
of Makefield requested a certificate of removal to the Buckingham
MM, also in Bucks co., PA, which was presented at that meeting on
2 10mo. [Dec.] 1729. [28] When
the Wrightstown Monthly Meeting was split off from the Buckingham
Meeting in 1734, the Baldwins were apparently among those who
formed the new Monthly Meeting. Around this time, our information
becomes very slim, and even the state of residence of John and
Ann Baldwin during their last few years is not certain. Their son
William later moved to Virginia and then North Carolina, but it
is not certain whether or not William was joined by his parents. [29] Even though it has sometimes
been stated that John and Ann Baldwin died in Virginia or North
Carolina, there is no good evidence that they ever left
Pennsylvania.
Children of John Baldwin and Ann (Scott) Baldwin: [30]
1. John Baldwin, b. 7 3mo. [May] 1716. On 4 5mo. [July] 1738, [31] a John Baldwin was brought
before the Wrightstown Monthly Meeting for fighting, and this was
probably the younger John, since such behavior is much more
likely for a man in his twenties than one aged about sixty.
Because of the common name, his later history is difficult to
document. However, it seems likely that he was the same person as
the John Baldwin who, on 27 August 1762, bought 660 acres of land
in Rowan county, North Carolina from Granville, and then, on 19
October of the same year, with his wife Philis, sold that land to
James Mendenhall. [32] On 10
7mo. [July] 1760, his wife had (as “Phelis” Baldwin) signed
the marriage certificate of William Morgan and Rebeckah Mills, a
certificate which had also been signed by William and Elizabeth
(Morgan?) Baldwin.
2. William Baldwin, b. 20 2mo. [Apr.] 1720, d. 19 8mo. [Aug.]
1802. [33] On 5 1mo. [Mar]
1744/5, William Baldwin requested a certificate from the
Wrightstown Monthly Meeting to the “Opecan” (i.e., Hopewell)
Monthly Meeting in Virginia, having apparently moved to the area
some time before, and this certificate was granted on 17 1mo.
[Mar.] 1744/5. [34] He md.1st,
Elizabeth, whose maiden name has not been proven, but who appears
to have been the daughter of John and Sarah (Lloyd) Morgan of
Frederick co., VA. William and Elizabeth Baldwin later became
members of the New Garden Monthly Meeting in Guilford county,
North Carolina, and Elizabeth d. 19 9mo. [Sep.] 1773. [35] William Baldwin then md. 2nd,
New Garden MM, NC, 18 6mo. [June] 1788, [36] Mrs. Ann (Beals) Hunt, widow of Thomas
Hunt, and daughter of John and Sarah (Bowater) Beals.
Considerable information on the descendants of William and
Elizabeth Baldwin can be found in Frank C. Baldwin, The
Baldwins From Virginia Westward (Oak Park, IL, 1985), 85-103.
William1 Baldwin (JohnA),
b. 1677?, [37] at Gisburn, co.
York, England. [38] At the age
of twenty, he became a minister of the Gospel, and visited Quaker
churches throughout England, Scotland, and Ireland. A member of
the Marsden Monthly Meeting, he left to preach in America,
arriving in America in May (3mo.) 1709. After a stay of more than
nine months, during which he visited Pennsylvania, New England,
Maryland, Virginia, and Carolina, he returned to England. There
he md., at Yelland, co. Lancaster, England, 28 Nov (9mo.) 1710,
Mary Beakbaine, b. 26 Feb (12mo.) 1674/5, Lancaster MM, d. 1754,
Chester co., PA, daughter of Thomas Beakbaine and Margaret
(Middleton) Beakbaine. [39] Not
long afterward, he decided to remove with his family to America,
and the Marsden Monthly Meeting, at a meeting held at Trawden,
granted him a certificate of removal [40]
on 7 1mo. [Mar.] 1713/4, which he presented to the Falls Monthly
Meeting, Bucks co., PA on 1 7mo. [Sep.] 1714. [41] He was soon traveling again, visiting
Maryland, then Long Island in 1715 and Rhode Island in 1716. In
1720, he fell ill, and two weeks later, on 29 or 30 6mo. [Aug.]
1720, [42] he died. His will,
written 21 6mo. [Aug.] 1720, and proved 28 Sep. 1720, mentioned
(among others) his wife Mary, his son John, and his brother John.
[43] His widow, Mary (Beakbaine)
Baldwin md. 2nd 11 Mar (1mo.) 1723/4, Falls MM, Bucks co, PA,
Ellis Lewis, of Chester co., PA. [44]

[2] Before 1752, March was the
first month in English records (and in the English colonies in
America). Quaker records rarely give the name of the month, and
usually give the month by its number. For convenience,
conversions to the usual names of the months will be supplied in
brackets, and month numbers will be given in the form “12mo.”

villages, just west of Nelson in the large parish of Whalley in
Lancashire.

[12] Since his brother William
was said in his biography to have been born in Gisburn, co. York,
and his father was of Gisburn at the birth of his sister Mary
(first of the name), a Yorkshire birth is a reasonable likelihood
for John also.
[13] This is a reasonable
estimate, based on the date of his first marriage, the known
birthdate of his first wife, and his survival until 1757.

son-in-law Roger Hartley and several grandchildren, including
Jennet Hartley [Original will, Consistory Court, Bishop of
Chester, on FHL film number 89614]. The name is usually spelled
as “Veepon” in the records of the Marsden Monthly Meeting.

Pearson and Grace Veepon [24 Apr [2mo.] 1679, Marsden MM records]
was signed by three members of the Hartley family who were
explicitly listed as “relatives” (including Jennet's older
sister Ellen). Later, on 25 12mo. [Feb.] 1688/9, James Veepon
Sr., brother of Grace (Veepon) Pearson, was listed as a relative
on the marriage record of Roger Hartley of Oldham and Ellen

[29] The suggestion that John
and Ann Baldwin followed their son’s migration has been
suggested mainly by the appearance of their deaths in the records
of the New Garden Monthly Meeting in Guilford co., NC. However,
it is clear from examination of the original record at Guilford
College, in Greensboro, NC, that these deaths records were made
many years later, at the same time that deaths for some of the
other members of William Baldwin’s family were being entered.
Thus, these retrospective records cannot be regarded as evidence
that John and Ann Baldwin ever lived in Virginia or North
Carolina.
