The daughter of THOMAS & FRANCIS (BOWLING) Bryan, she married SYLVESTER BALDWIN about 1620 in England. He died on the ship, "Martin" during the voyage from England to America and was probably buried at sea. She married second, Capt. John Astwood, one of the seven pillars and judges of Milford. Capt. Astwood went to London on business for the Colony and died there about 1653.

In 1641, the "Widow" Baldwin was given a lot in the southwest square or Hertfordshire quarter of New Haven which is now located at the corner of Chapel & York Streets in New Haven.
The family vacated their property in New Haven and moved with the group of founders to Milford. Her name is on one of the memorial stones on the Bridge over the Wepawaug River in Milford (pictured right).

In her will she gives her daughter, Mary (Baldwin) Plumb, wife of Robert Plumb most of her goods and chattels as well as a book called "The Soule's Conflict". She called Richard Platt her brother in her will and left legacies to the Fenn children (children of Sarah (Baldwin) Fenn): "I guve unto my grandchild, Sarah Burwell, five shillings... grandchild Mehitabell ffenn [grandson Benjamin Fenn's wife--he was the blood relation], five shillings... grandchild Martha Newton, five shillings..."
