The Baldwin Family Crest

The colonist, Sylvester Baldwin, came over from Aston Clinton, Co. Bucks, England (1638), where his ancestry is traced four generations back. He died at sea, on his voyage here, but his sons settled in Connecticut. His connection with the Baldwins of Dalton in Furness, Co. Lancaster, is fully established. The present English house of the name quarters the devices we give with the Atkinsons arms. We supply the motto of the English branch.
