I am researching a Baldwin family from Ireland. William Baldwin b. abt 1800 Ireland and Mary Tracey b abt 1800 Ireland. In Nova Scotia by late 1820s where they had at least 4 children, William, Richard, Alice and Ellen. These 4 came to Boston Ma. Ellen never married. Alice married my Byrnes ancestor and had 3 children. Her brothers witnessed her husband's naturalization (which was how I conveniently found them). William married had many children, Richard married and had 4 or 5 daughters. I am trying to find what happened to their parents (did they die in Nova Scotia?) and where in Ireland the parents came from.

I am researching Phyllis (Filis) Baldwin who was born between 1755 and 1765 in North Carolina, probably in the Wilkes County area. She married Jacob Roberts (Robards) around 1782 and they lived in Wilkes Co., NC. He died between 1820 and 1830. She most likely moved to Carter Co., Tennessee with two of her sons and their families as there is a woman of her age shown in the household of her son William on the 1830 US Census, Carter Co., Tennessee.

Alas, it would be great to prove her parents. My theory is that they were John and Phillis Baldwin who owned land near Deep River in 1762 and sold it in 1763. This was a Rowan Co., NC deed and the area was near what is now High Point, NC. Of course, the name Phillis seems to jump out here, making it probable. John and Phillis lived along Potato Creek in the northern part of Wilkes County. Have never located a will for him.

Are they descended from the Chester County, Pa., brothers from Oxfordshire? If so, related Baldwins are well represented in Cluster 4 of our Baldwin DNA study
