At the time of the creation of Delaware County by the Act of the Legislature, Febru- ary 10, 1808, the town of Delaware had no ex- istence either on paper or in fact. There can be little question, moreover, that had Moses Byxbe retained the interest which he originally had in the Berkshire settlement, the history of the county seat would be altogether different from what it is. Its very establishment seems to be a monument to the bad faith of its founder. It was the original purpose of Mr. Byxbe to make Berkshire Corners not only the county seat of the new county which he knew woukl soon be erected, but if possible. the capital of the State as well. It was on this expectation and on the promises of Byxbe to use his influence to this end that many of the first settlers were induced to join his enter- prise and become purchasers of land in the large tract which he had originally acquired. It was not long, however, until the plans of Byxbe seem to have undergone a change. He disposed of the larger part of his holdings in Berkshire Township, as well as those in Ber- lin, Kingston, Genoa and Brown, and we shortly find him interested in an entirely differ- ent part of the county. In the month of De- cember, 1800. Abraham Baldwin, of New Ha- ven. Connecticut, purchased of the Government a tract of eight thousand acres, which included the northeast section of Delaware Township
and the third section of Brown. Mr. Baldwin was a man of unusual attainments and enter- prise. He was a graduate of Yale University. and later a tutor in that institution. He served in the Revolutionary War and afterwards practiced law in Savannah, Georgia. He was a member of the State Legislature, for some time president of the University of Georgia, a Representative in Congress and a United States Senator. He was never married, and at his death the large tracts of land which he owned in Ohio as well as other states went by devise to his three half-broth- ers and two half-sisters. As these heirs were widely separated it was not long before this property passed into the control of one of them, Henry Baldwin, a lawyer in Pittsburg. Shortly after the erec- tion of Delaware County, an arrangement was entered into between Baldwin and Byxbe, through which Byxbe came into possession of the undivided one-half of the tracts in Dela- ware and Brown Townships, with the excep- tion of two tracts of two hundred and fifty acres each out of the northeast corner of each section, previously sold by Abraham Baldwin to one William Wells. Judge Baldwin was, for many years, a part owner of the land on which Delaware was located, although from the first he delegated the entire control of it to Byxbe and seems to have given little active
