MERRITT WELLES BALDWIN was born on 23 Oct 1834 in New Hartford, Litchfield, Connecticut and died on 23 Jan 1907. He married Catharine Joy, daughter of Mathew Joy and Margaret Rien, on 04 Apr 1859 in New Haven, New Haven, Connecticut. She was born in Mar 1830 in Tipperary, Ireland and died on 13 Dec 1906. Catherine was originally married to a man named Hall and had a daughter named Julia Hall. She married Merritt Welles Baldwin on 4 Apr 1859 in New Haven, New Haven County, Connecticut. She had two additional children with Merritt Welles Baldwin; Merritt Welles Baldwin and Rhoda Antoinette Baldwin. Catharine is identified in the 1870 Federal census and the 1880 Federal census as the wife of Merritt Welles Baldwin Sr. There is an alternate marriage date of 1873 reported in some family histories that appears in error. Julia Hall is identified as Julia Baldwin in the both Federal census. The Catalog of Connecticut Volunteer Organizations lists all three brothers (Merritt Welles, Ira A. Baldwin, and Newton H. Baldwin) as enlisting on the same day (September 5, 1862) and honorably discharged the same day on August 26, 1863. Angie Wooding recalled how her mother (Delia Angeline Baldwin) and grandmother (Rhoda Welles Baldwin) visited Merritt Welles at Fort Schuyler when he was sick with typhoid fever. On the way home, their boat was shipwrecked at Hell Gate. An explanatory note of the relationships are as follows:
Rhoda Welles who married Ira Merritt Baldwin, was Merritt Welles Baldwin's mother. When Merritt was sick at Fort Schuyler, Rhoda and her daughter Delia Angeline Baldwin (Merritt's sister) visited him.Delia Angeline Baldwin later married Charles Noyes Alling and their daughter, Angeline Estella Alling married Ralph Andrew Wooding.
