29583. Henry Baldwin. Born on 12 Jan 1693 in Woburn, MA.35 Henry died in Woburn, MA, on 7 Jul 1739; he was 46.145
On 7 May 1717 when Henry was 24, he married Mary Richardson (13846) , daughter of Lieut. Joseph Richardson (4839) (19 May 1672-5 Dec 1754) & Mary Blodgett (15 Sep 1673-11 Mar 1752), in Woburn, MA.35 Born on 10 Jan 1695 in Woburn, MA.35 Mary died in Shrewsbury, MA, on 25 Oct 1798; she was 103.145
Vinton’s summary:145 When Mary “was one hundred years old, her pastor, Rev. Dr. Joseph Sumner, took her to a sleigh ride. Dr. Sumner himself lived to be eighty-five years old, and died Dec. 9, 1824, having sustained the pastoral office in that town more than sixty-two years.”
The following is a contemporary notice of Mrs. Baldwin's death: "At Shrewsbury, Mrs. Mary Jones, aet. nearly 105 years. Her maiden name was Mary Richardson. She was born in Woburn, January 10th. O. S., 1694. Her first husband was Henry Baldwin, Esq., of Pelham, N.H., by whom she had three children, who lived to settle in the world, and left families. Her second husband was Colonel Jones, of Hopkinton, who died about the year 1772, since which time she remained a widow. She enjoyed a good degree of health, until within a few weeks of her death. The serenity of mind, and quietness of temper, which she possesst to an uncommon degree, doubtless contributed to her great age. Being early imprest with the importance of religion, the practice of it, ever appeared natural and easy. As she lived, so she died in the hope of a blessed immortality, and but a few hours before her death was able to express, with great propriety, her views and prospects of futurity." - Columbian Centinel (Boston), November 3, 1798.316
