Samuel b: 1803, was Son of Abner Baldwin & Bethenia Lynn-Baldwin.
Samuel was first married to Nancy Stone in 1830 of which he & Nancy had 3 children: John J born 1832, Elizabeth born 1834 and William born about 1840. He then married Matilda Winningham iin 1847, They had one son, Luther, born 1852.
Sam was a Baptist Preacher and Land Owner on Haw River in Chatham, NC

Miscellaneous information: Sam and Matilda Baldwin are buried on the property of Sam's brother Joseph Baldwin (the man they named the township for in 1869). The little family plot is near the smaller of two early Baldwin home-sites above Meadow branch. Several unidentified stones are with those of Sam and Matilda. Placement of Sam and Matilda's stones, which currently lie on the ground or are leaned against a tree, is uncertain because a drunk driver once used the stones to gain traction out of the ditch into which he'd run his car. John Sparrow grew up on the place and witnessed this as a boy on his bicycle in the 1960s. The man glared and John hastened away. It was later they found the stones in the ditch. Info from Doug Berg.
