The first documentation of Henry Baldwin in the colonies is with his
name appearing on the signers of the original papers forming Woburn, Mass
in 1640. He married the oldest daughter of Ezekiel Richardson, who was
among the earliest births in America. She was baptized on June 3, 1632.
Candee Baldwin, in the Baldwin Genealogy dtd 1880, gives a couple
of theories on the English origins of Henry Baldwin of Woburn. He does
not reach a conclusion about his origins, even though Candee had done considerable
research into the English Baldwins. He did think it likely that John Baldwin
of Billerica and Henry of Woburn were brothers.
