Of My 3rd G.Grandfather, Lyman J. Baldwin (Sylvester Branch) and his Sons, William and Frank

Lyman J. Baldwin (1843 - 1921)

Following the "Sylvester branch": My great-great-great-grandfather, or 3rd great-grandfather, is Lyman J. Baldwin. He was born March 28, 1843 in New Preston CT, and he died Sept. 21, 1921 at the age of 78.

At the time of Lyman's birth, his father William H. Baldwin was 26, and his mother Fidelia A. (Thompson) Baldwin was 22. I know (thanks to Aunt Roz) that on Christmas day 1843, Fidelia died, aged only 23. Lyman was only eight months old at his mother's death and so he was raised by his grandmother Amanda (Drake) Baldwin. Amanda was the wife of William H, as seen in my chart below.

My Baldwin Family Line. Let the blog commence?

HEY, YOU GUYS!

I made a blog.

The purpose of this blog is to post family tree research that I and others have done, and to share it with interested people, most probably within my family. Hi family!

Also strange, random, internet stalkers.

Hi stalkers!

I need to try to figure out the information-privacy balance, so for now I will try to limit information on currently living generations.

I guess a good first post would be to list all of the generations I have on the direct paternal Baldwin line, including all of my g-g-grandmothers. This can form the spine for what I will delve into and talk about later. Consider this the main trunk of the tree. Interesting stories and posts will almost always refer back to this main line.
