Anastasia Antonia Margaret was born on February 27, 1868, the daughter of Frank and Elizabeth Born Deutsch. They were living and working on a tenant farm owned by the Jesuit priests of the historical Sacred Heart Parish at Whitemarsh in the Collington area in the Queen Anne's district of Prince Georges County, Maryland. She was baptized the next day at Sacred Heart Chapel and her godparents were her grandmother Margaret Born and John Blattace. Anastasia was the youngest of six children that survived until adulthood. The only photograph of her parents was taken around 1873 with the couple kneeling with son Frank, daughters Mary, Anastasia, and Martina and the parish caretaker and housekeeper in front of the famous statue of the Blessed Virgin at the pilgrim shrine at Rock Spring on the Whitemarsh property.
Anastasia Deutsch married Bill Baldwin on November 18, 1894 at Sacred Heart Chapel. Young Bill Baldwin of Anne Arundel County, Maryland made a living as a pool player earning money off of the U.S. Congressmen and other wealthy men who hung out in the Washington, D.C. billiard parlors. He later worked as a fireman for the Pennsylvania Railroad. When he married Anastasia, the couple settled on a farm near the hamlet of Chesterfield in Anne Arundel County. Anastasia and Bill had five children – Elizabeth (1896), Frank (1898), Margaret (1900), Josephine (1902), Mary (1904), Anastasia or Tootie (1906), and Bill, Jr. (1910). Later Bill Baldwin was a farm manager for the Woodward estates and moved his family to the rural crossroads village of Millersville. The main fields rotated between tobacco and wheat but at different times he tried other crops such as flax, rye, sweet potatoes, strawberries, and corn.
According to his grandson, Joe Parlett, “the Woodward properties were divided into three farms. The northernmost one, which my grandfather supervised, was about three or four hundred acres. It was about a half a mile above the main Woodward family home and included Our Lady of the Fields Catholic Church.”
Education was very important to the Baldwins and they sent their children to a private Methodist boarding school about a mile from the train station that accepted local day students. Bill, Sr. was known by most as “Judge” Baldwin and served as a magistrate during the entire administration of Maryland governor Albert Ritchie (1916-1932). Bill was completely bald, not a single hair on his head. Sadly Anastasia died of cancer in a hospital in Washington, DC in 1925 at the age of 57. Her husband survived her for another 27 years.
