Baldwin, Jeremiah, (page 1116), of New Haven, Connecticut, was born in the 
year 1827, and removed to Ohio with his parents at the age of six years, 
and at the age of thirteen to Wisconsin, where he attended school until of 
age, part being to public and part to select school, taught by Rev. Henry 
Heaton. He, after working on the farm for several summers, purchased 
eighty acres, and for a time was employed in the government survey. At 
twenty-eight he married Julia Emery, of Wisconsin, who, after bearing him 
two children, Amos E., now practicing medicine in Marshall, Minnesota , 
and a daughter, since deceased, died in the spring of 1857. Eighteen 
months after he married his second wife, Lucia A. Pierce, of West 
Townsend, Vermont, May 5, 1858. From this union sprang Willis P., Horace 
J., J. Arthur and Minnie A., all living. In the spring of 1863 Jeremiah 
left Wisconsin by ox-team, after selling out, and settled on his present 
farm, part of which, one hundred acres, he purchased two years before of 
one William Thompson. Six years from this he bought out John Allon, twenty 
acres additional, and completed his present one hundred and sixty acres 
about four years after by purchase from George Cole. Mr. Baldwin has been 
an active trustee of the Congregational church of Plainview since its 
organization, September 19, 1863, and his present wife has for some time 
officiated as president of the Women's Board of Mission. Albert R. Pierce, 
brother to Mrs. Baldwin, enlisted in 1861, was wounded near Arkansas; was 
honorably discharged at Fort Snelling.
