He lived in Woodbridge, Bethlehem and Chusetown (now Seymour. ) He came to Chusetown and built a grain mill on Little river, near where the H. A. Matthews factory now stands. The farm which Mrs. Martha G. Divine now owns was the property of Mr. Bald- win. He was a man devoted to the Christian religion and kept the Holy Bible constantly by his side that he might employ his leisure moments in read- ing its sacred pages. Mr. Baldwin was killed at his mill by the unexpected starting of the water wheel. The wheel had frozen during the night and, in order to start it, it was necessary to cut away the ice, which Mr. Baldwin was doing when the wheel started and killed him. It happened Jan. 4. 1799. Philine, his wife, died July, 1826.
It was at Mr. Baldwin's house that the first Methodist meeting was held within the limits of what is now the town of Seymour, and while these meet- ings were being held the boys would climb to the top of the house and place boards over the top of the chimney and smoke the occupants of the house out. And there is no record to show that the boys were ever punished for their conduct.
