General Notes: Husband - Hon. Henry Baldwin

---

He was a native of New Haven, Connecticut, and graduated at Yale College in 1797. He read law with Alexander Dallas, of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and was there admitted to practice. Early in the year 1800 he moved to Meadville, and assisted in organizing the first court held in the county. About 1804 he removed to Pittsburgh, and in 1816 was elected to Congress, serving continuously in that body until 1828, where he signalized himself as the champion of domestic manufactures, being conspicuous as the chairman of that committee. In 1830 he was appointed a Supreme Judge of the United States by President Jackson, with whom he was on the closest terms of friendship, which position he occupied up to the time of his death. In 1842 he returned to Meadville, and the following year erected a residence on the Terrace, later the home of the Hon. William Reynolds. He died while at court in Philadelphia. He was a poor financier, accumulating little of this world's goods; but he was a jovial, generous and high-minded gentleman, an eminent lawyer, a rough but powerful and acute speaker, and was recognized as one of the greatest legal lights of his day.
