"Henry Baldwin was baptized June 14, 1702, the fifth son of Barnabas Baldwin, of Milford, Connecticut, a farmer in that part of the town which is now the southwestern part of Woodbridge; the farm also extended within the bounds of New Haven, of which town the father was made a freeman, in April, 1727.
All that is known of his history is that, in January, 1728, he began to preach in the Presbyterian Church in Bedford, New York.
His name is starred in the Triennial Catalogue of 1733. (No copy is known of a Catalogue of 1730.)
His father retained a kindly recollection of this son's alma mater, as in his will, dated May 5, 1740, and proved October 19, 1741, he bequeathed the sum of forty shillings to the College."
