From "A Brief History of Chemung County"
"Captain Baldwin was a member of the Baldwin family that came early into the valley. He was slender and delicate of figure, with the gentlest of dispositions, but with a spirit and force of character that was characteristic of his family, and he made a good soldier. He was a son of a soldier of the War of 1812, and grandson of a soldier of the Revolution. His father was deputy sheriff of the county, and was the first occupant of the new County Court House in 1824. Captain Baldwin was a printer and a newspaper man. He was promoted to be Major soon after the One Hundred and Seventh reached the field."
He enlisted in June of 1862 when the 107th (known as the Campbell Guards) was formed, and fought in numerous battles, including Antietam, Chancellorsville, and Gettysburg.
