(The Baldwin Line).
(1) Henry Baldwin, the immigrant ances- tor, came very likely from Devonshire, Eng- land, and was one of the first settlers of Wo- burn, in that part now known as North Wo- burn. In 1661 he built here the "palatial house which is still one of the most imposing in the town, and which, though with some changes and occasional improvement," has been owned and occupied by descendants for six generations, and is now the oldest dwell- ing in Woburn. In 1820 the house looked practically as it looks now. The north chim- ney, put up by George R. Baldwin, was said to be the first single flue chimney in the coun- try. He designed the chimney caps and built a small addition on the rear of the house. On the south, between the house and the canal, was formerly a beautiful garden with walks and trees, but all traces of it have now dis- appeared. Henry Baldwin was a sergeant of Woburn militia, 1672-85, and deacon of the First Church, Woburn, from 1686 until his death. He died February 14, 1697-98.

(VIII) General William R. Judson, son of Silas Burton Judson, was born in the town of Butternuts, Otsego county, New York, Octo- ber 25, 1810, and died February 6, 1880. He spent his boyhood at home on his father's farm. At the age of sixteen he was appren- ticed for a term of three years with Major J. J. Gooley to learn the saddlery and harness trade. He completed his apprenticeship and worked one year as a journeyman, and then, in partnership with W. Merwin, bought out his employer and continued the business until 1841, when he sold his interests to William Hoffman Jr. In 1841 he started in the lum- ber business and continued for six years, after- ward engaging in the real estate business in Elmira and in various western states, residing in the meantime in Elmira. From 1856 to 1866 he made twenty-one trips from Elmira to Kansas, where he was in much property. At that time traveling was both slow and diffi- cult and to some extent dangerous.
General Judson was interested in public affairs and was honored with many offices of trust and responsibility. He was marshal in charge of the census of 1840 in Chemung county, which then had a population of 20.731. He was appointed under-sheriff of the county in 1841, and elected sheriff in 1843 for three years. He was appointed marshal under the bankruptcy law of 1847. In 1866 he was appointed an internal revenue assessor for the Twenty-seventh congressional district. and in 1868 he was presidential elector for this district.
General Judson had a notable military rec- ord, covering a period of thirty years. In 1834 he volunteered in the light infantry com- pany, known as the Elmira Guards, command- ed at that time by Captain Wheeler, and was
associated in this company with many of the best and most honored citizens of Elmira. He was commissioned captain April 30, 1834, of the Seventy-ninth Regiment of Infantry, State of New York; lieutenant-colonel, June 20, 1835, and colonel, June 16, 1842, by Governor Seward. He volunteered for the Mexican war, and on July 21, 1846, was commissioned captain in the Sixth Regiment, by Governor Silas Wright; R. E. Temple was colonel and adjutant general. When the civil war broke out and the secession sentiment on the bor- ders of Kansas was dominant, he offered his service to the federal government, and was commissioned major of the Frontier Battalion, Missouri Volunteers, August 5, 1861, and col- onel of the Sixth Kansas Volunteer Cavalry, September 10, 1861. For gallant and meri- torious service, he was breveted brigadier- general, March 13, 1865. During his long and arduous military career, General Judson was wounded but once; this was during an engagement at Fort Smith, Arkansas.
He married (first), August 28, 1833, Eliza- beth, who died March 1, 1859, daughter of Major Charles Orwan, one of the early set- tlers of Elmira. He married (second), June 27, 1861, Mrs. Aurora H. Danforth, who died April 9, 1870, daughter of Thomas Hulett, of Wallingford, Rutland county, Vermont. The Hulett family was prominent in Vermont. It is of English origin, the emigrant ancestors having come to America about 1620 to escape the religious persecutions to which they were subjected in England. Hon. Charles and Judge Guy Hulett were members of the same family. General Judson married (third) Sarah K. Hart, born July 7, 1815, died March I. 24, 1887. Children by first marriage : Julia, born December 15, 1834, died July 22, 1879; married George A. Reynolds. 2. Clem- entina, born December 25, 1836, died April 18, 1866; married E. S. Lowman. 3.

Thomas Hulett, see forward.
(IX) Thomas Hulett, only child of General William R. and Aurora (Hulett) (Danforth) Judson, was born at Horseheads, New York, June 19, 1862. He attended the public schools of Elmira and various private schools, includ- ing the well-known McDougall private school. Early in life he engaged in business as one of
1258
NEW YORK.
the owners of the Doane & Jones Lumber Company. This business was established many years ago at Southport, New York, by Doane & Jones, afterward removed to Elmira, and has grown to large proportions and been pro- portionately profitable. The present officers of the company are: George Doane, presi- lent : Thomas Hulett Judson, vice-president : Charles F. Bullard, treasurer. Much of the success of the concern is due to the enterprise and sound judgment of Mr. Judson. In politi- cal affairs he is a Democrat, but has never sought or held public office. He and his fam- ily are members of the Park Congregational Church.
Mr. Judson married, February 28, 1893, Fanny B., daughter of William E. and Frances (Bonham ) Tuttle, of Horseheads, New York. Children, born at Elmira : Edgar Tuttle, De- cember 8. 1894: William Russell, September 28, 1896 : Isabelle Tuttle, September 26, 1898 ; Thomas Hulett, December 26, 1901 : Frances B., December 25. 1903.

In the early records Hulet, Hulett, Howlett and Hewlett are used interchangeably. The . first of the name in this country were Mat- thew and Lewis Hulett. Lewis Hulett settled in Charlestown, Massachusetts, of which he was one of the proprietors, in 1636. He was one of the first settlers of Salisbury, Massa- chusetts, and was a proprietor there in 1640. What became of him is not known ; he may have returned to England, perhaps he was lost at sea.

Thomas Howlett left children : Samuel, Sarah Cum- mings, Mary Perley, John, Thomas, William. A Matthew Hewlett came in the ship "Hercu- les" in April. 1634, but we find nothing to show that he lived in this country.
(I) Michael Hulett. who may have been a descendant of the Ipswich family, settled in Killingly, Windham county, Connecticut. he- fore 1708, when he purchased Parkhurst's right in that town. In 1728 land was laid out to him in that town, and he was one of the proprietors in 1730.

From Windham county many of the Hewlett family went to Vermont. In 179-, John Hewlett was head of a family in Rutland; Nehemiah, of Sangate township, Bennington county, and Joseph of Chester. Windsor coun- ty. The spelling Howlett and Hewlett is used interchangeably in the Vermont records. and Daniel, John and William Hulett were sol- diers in the revolution. In 1790 the Huletts in Connecticut having families were Alline, David, Mehitable, Nehemiah and Oliver, all of Killingly.
(III) Hulett, son of Nehemiah ( ?) Hulett, and a direct descendant, grandson or great-grandson of Michael Hulett, mentioned above. settled in Wallingford, Rutland county, Vermont, where he followed farming. His father is said to have lived in Hadley. Massa- chusetts. Children : Nehemiah : John. men- tioned below : Amos, Asahel, Mason, Thomas, Phobe.
(IV) John, son of Hulett, was born in 1767, Vermont. He removed to Reading. Vermont, where he lived until 1827, when he came with his family and settled in Veteran. Chemung county. New York, where he died January 12, 1847, aged eighty years. He mar- ried Martha, daughter of Deacon Clark, of Weathersfield : she died in the town of Veter- an at the age of forty-eight. Children : Laura. Guy, Clark, Asahel. John, Madison, Charles (mentioned below ). Almira. Martha, Mason, Nehemiah. Marcia, and George W. and Ben- jamin F. (twins).

His bro- ther, Dr. Guy Hulett, who was afterwards as- sociate judge of Chemung county. practiced medicine in that town, and in partnership the brothers owned one hundred and two acres of land and conducted a farm together for six years. The land was then divided, and Mr. Hulett added to the acreage by purchase and

erected more buildings. From time to time he bought more land and increased the size of his farm. He spent many years of active life in this town. Ile was a prosperous farm- er, a useful citizen, active, enterprising and industrious. In 1844 he removed -to Elmira, New York, where he resided until the time of his death.
