BALDWIN
BALDWIN.
The Baldwins came to New Jersey from Milford, Conn. In 1640 there were at that place, Timothy, Nathaniel, Joseph, John and Richard. These were relatives but prob. not all brothers. The last two were sons of Sylvester, who d., 1638, on the voyage from England to Boston ; he was the son of Richard of St. Leonards, Aston Clinton, in county Bucks, England. Another John and Richard and also Henry were in New England before 1639. The descendants of Joseph and Nathaniel of Milford, settled in Newark and vicinity and were found very early in Parsip- pany, Morris Co. Mr. Will H. Shaw has given a very full genealogy of these branches, and also of John of Milford, in his History of Essex and Hudson coun- ties. As the Baldwins of this vicinity came from Hunterdon Co., we presume they descended from

from Hamburg. He removed to Northern New York, where he engaged extensively in manufacturing and shipping flour and lumber. "This year, 1794, a settlement was commenced under the direction of Mr. Bartles from the Jerseys, on the outlet of Mud Lake, one of the branches of the Conhocton. Towards the end of summer a set of merchant mills were in considerable for- wardness, including a saw-mill at Fredericktown, called after his name. In May, 1798, Mr. Bartles proceeded from his mills in the centre of Steuben Co., by raft on the Susquehanna River, with 100,000 feet of boards for Baltimore, where he arrived safely and found so good a market that he engaged to deliver the same quantity next spring. There is another Jersey settlement at the head of Canascroga Creek." From Documentary History of New York, vol. II, p. -660. He had ch .:

BARTLEY.
ROBERT and DAVID BARKLEY were two of the twenty-four proprietors to whom the Duke of York gave the grant, or sale, of East New Jersey, 1682-3, Mar. 14. ROBERT was appointed Governor, and d. 1690, Oct. 3. DAVID appears to have visited the province previous to 1684. He died 1675, about Aug. 15, on the passage from Aberdeen to East Jersey, in charge of a cargo of goods for the proprietors. His rights in the soil were inherited in whole or in part by his brother JOHN, who lived for many years and died in the province. John came to East Jersey, with six persons in his company, Mar., 1683 ; was appointed, 1692, Mar. 25, by Gov. Alex. Hamilton, Receiver General and Sur- veyor General : his name appears, 1699, as clerk at Perth Amboy; signs, 1702, as one of the proprietors of East Jersey .- [ Whitehead's East New Jersey]. It has not been possible as yet to trace the connection between the two pro- prietors, and the families of Barclay and Bartley of Bedminster twp., Som. Co., but it seems probable that the father of Robert Barkley and Hugh Partley (or Barkley) was John Barkley, who may have been the son of JOHN, the pro- prietor.
