Elliot Baldwin
Elliot Baldwin was born around 1837 a son of Ambria and Nancy Baldwin. Nancy's maiden name was Miller, but she remarried after Ambria passed away to a Brush. This family was easily traced in the census' living in either Phelps, Ontario County, New York or Arcadia, Wayne County, New York. Elliot's brother, Samuel, or Layton Samuel Baldwin was a prominent lawyer at one time. More can be read about him in his obituary which is in the pictures below. Elliot had one child, Bertha. He was widowed before the 1880 census, and married after the 1870 census where he was living with a Hicks family in Phelps. In 1860 he was living with a Galloway family. A family tree found here states that Elliot married a Mary Frances Rich (two ancestry.com trees have her surname as Rice), unfortunately I have found no information to confirm this, but the time line is very accurate. There was a Margaret Baldwin who died in February of 1880 (according to the 1880 Mortality Schedule) who was 31 years old and passed of urine poisoning, she had only been a resident of Ontario County for 8 years. As far as I can tell Bertha Baldwin never married. In 1940 she is still listed as single.
