Samuel Baldwin was born 8 July 1655 in Fairfield, Fairfield County, Connecticut, United States to Nathaniel Baldwin (1608-1658) and Joanna Unknown Baldwin (1617-1667) and died 12 January 1696 Guilford, New Haven County, Connecticut, United States of unspecified causes. He married Abigail Baldwin (1658-1739) 15 November 1678 in Milford, New Haven County, Connecticut, United States.
Samuel Baldwin, son of Nathaniel Baldwin and Joanna (unknown) Westcoat, was b. in Fairfield, Conn., in 1655; m. with ABIGAIL BALDWIN, dau. of John Baldwin,Sr. of Milford. She was b. Nov. 16,1658. He was a blacksmith, and was invited from Fairfield to Guilford, in 1675, by a vote if the Town "to work upon his trade of smithing, upon trial." The trade was then in high regard and he continued to reside in Guilford, accumulating a handsome property and raising a large family to be prosperous and well married.
The Town of Guilford granted him, on July 15,1676, half an acre upon the Green for his shop, with the promise that if he left, it should return to the town (evidently a premium site).
Children were: Abigail (1678; m. Joseph Starr), Deborah (4/1681-12/1681), Dorothy (1683; m. Ziba Tryon), Joanna (1686; m. Samuel Rose), Samuel (1689), Timothy (1691), and Nathaniel (1693).
