William (Baldwin), of Stratford, Conn., is first recognized as marrying, July 2, 1688, Ruth Brooks, of Wallingford, Conn. She was born Feb. 7, 1665, dau. of John. I cannot connect him with any of the previous lines. He may very likely have been connected Collaterally with some of the Baldwins of Milford, separated from Stratford by a river only. A very thorough search, and an apparently complete account for all the descendants of the New England Baldwins up to that date, makes me think that this William was an independent emigrant. In the account, in a former part of this book, of John, of County Bucks, England, it will be found under Triamor3 Nicholas2 John,1 that a Triamor, of London, made his will in 1720, in which he left £100 to his brother William, living in or near New York, and £100 each to Triamor and William, sons of his brother William. I cannot tell whether it is this William. His wife joined the Church in Stratford, Aug, 28, 1690; he, Aug. 29,1739.
