"3. Josiah2 (Baldwin) John,1 bapt. in Milford, Conn, March 20, 1648, probably born about 1644. He remained there, and m. June 25, 1667, Mary Camp, perhaps dau. of Edward Camp, of New Haven, Conn., and b. there, April 21, 1652. He was received to full communion Jan. 30, 1671. He died about 1683, as Nov. 2, 1683, the inventory of his estate was presented at New Haven. Mr. Savage says he left a wife and seven children, whose names he 'sees not.' … His adminis[t]ratrix seems to have been his widow Mercy, yet she was mother of Josiah. Is the name of Mary and Mercy confounded?"
His mother was Mary Camp. Mr. Baldwin confuses Mercy Camp, of the next generation, who married Josiah Baldwin and must have been born around 1646, with her sister Mary, born 1652, who married Nathaniel Briscoe.
