Amelia Needham (1797-1868) was the second wife of Jonah Baldwin (1777-1865). Jonah and Amelia were married in 1823.
Amelia was the daughter of Dr. William A. Needham, who came from Vermont to Springfield, Ohio in 1814, and practiced medicine there until his death in 1832.
The book, Portrait and Biographical Album of Greene and Clark Counties, Ohio (Chapman Bros., Chicago, 1890, pp. 192-3) preserve vivid impressions left by Dr Needham on his contemporaries:
"Dr. NEEDHAM built the first frame house here and is well remembered by the old settlers, not only as a physician whose practice extended for many miles but as a man of humor and marked characteristics. He circulated many stories and incidents of pioneer times, which being told in his own peculiar style proved very amusing, particularly as his stuttering speech made them still more forcible. He retired on to a farm where Lagonda now stands, and after quite a settlement grew up there, the place was for some time called Pillville. Dr. NEEDHAM died in 1832, while comparatively a young man."
A record of early Springfield settlers states that Jonah Baldwin's wife (unnamed) was the first person confirmed in the first Episcopal Church in Springfield. This first church was the Parish of All Souls, organized on December 7, 1834, and renamed Christ Church, at Christmas, 1841. These dates indicate that Jonah's wife, who was the first person confirmed in Springfield, would have been Amelia.
In 1827, Amelia and Jonah moved to King's Creek in Champaign County where Jonah conducted a large stock operation. In 1835, Jonah and Amelia returned to Springfield and in 1839, to Pleasant Township.
Jonah and Amelia were the parents of five children, Sarah, Mary, Minerva, Bettie and Henry, with Jonah the father of a total of eight. Note the first of Amelia's babies: Sarah Baldwin; did Amelia permit Jonah to name their first child for Jonah's first wife, Sarah Scott Baldwin (1791-prob 1817)?
The only son of Jonah and Amelia was their youngest child, Henry Baldwin. Henry married Maria Dawson. A daughter of Henry and Maria was Anna Baldwin (?-?), family historian of the Dawson, Lyttleton and Baldwin lines.
