    "Lt. Barnabas6 Baldwin (Barnabas5 Baldwin Jr., Sarah4 Buckingham, Sarah3 Baldwin, Mary2, Gov. Thomas1), … married, second as her second husband, in Oct 1803 (Woodbridge Church Records CM-10:12) Jerusha (Baker) Sanford, the widow of Isaac Sanford, and daughter of John Baker and Jerusha Pitcher, b. 7 May 1739 in Woodbury (Barbour citing LR8:290); and died 26 September 1811, at age 72 (Woodbridge Church Records, CM-10:16, 'widow of Barnabas'). Although she apparently survived him, she is not named in his will, nor are provisions made for her dower. This is why she is usually called a wife of Barnabas, Jr., but that is unlikely given her age."

    "Jerusha, wife of Lieut Barnabas, former wife of Isaac Sanford, originally Jerusha Baker, daughter of Deacon John Baker, of Washington, died Jan. 15, 1803, aged 74."
    "Capt. Barnabas Baldwin, Jr., died July 11, 1804, aged 44."
    "Lieut. Barnabas, died Dec. 24, 1804, aged 78." …
    "Widow Baldwin, widow of the late Barnabas, died Sept. 26, 1811, aged 72."

    According to her gravestone in the Milford Side Cemetery, Woodbridge, the wife of Lt. Barnabas who died 15 January 1803 was Mary (Terrill) Baldwin, not Jerusha (Baker) (Sanford) Baldwin. Sorting out all of the above, the indication is that that Jerusha (Baker) (Sanford) Baldwin was wife/widow of the elder Barnabas, the Lieutenant, not his son, the Captain.
