CAPT. ISAAC, b. in Sudbury, Mass., in 1738; m. Eunice Jen- nison, of Natick, Mass .; came to H. in 1766, being the sixth family that came into town upon its second settlement. He settled upon the farm since known as the "Dutton Place", and he was also a carpenter. He had been a comrade with William and John Stark in the renowned company of Rangers commanded by Major Robert Rogers during the French and Indian War. He is said to have fought in twenty battles. "Smith's Annals" states that while framing a barn in Deering the tidings of the Battle of Lexington reached him, and immediately he was aroused to ac- tivity. Another version is the tradition which says that he was at work finishing the parlor in Rev. Jonathan Barnes' house at the Centre, and dropping his tools he hastened to his home, call- ing upon his friends as he went to rally to the cause of the col- onies. Quickly collecting a band of volunteers he set out for the scene of action, and upon reaching the headquarters of the Amer- ican army at Cambridge he was given command of a company of men, attached to Col. John Stark's regiment. They were quartered at Medford, June 17, 1775, the day of the Battle of Bunker Hill. His company, with others under Maj. Andrew McClary were marched to the battlefield about noon. An hour later Captain Baldwin was mortally wounded by a musket ball, which lodged in his breast. He was borne from the field by two of his townsmen, Lt. John McNiel and James Gibson. He died about sunset of the same day, and after his death the bullet was

extracted by another townsman, Lt. Ammi Andrews, who sent it to his widow, "a sad memento of that dire event, which made her a widow and her children fatherless." Captain Baldwin's death filled the community with grief, while sincere sympathy was bestowed upon the heart-stricken widow. Of a cheerful disposi- tion, amiable in his manners, he was a brave, patriotic man, esteemed by all who knew him.
