John Baldwin passed his early life in his native town. He learned the trade of a shoemaker, and was engaged in making shoes in Connecticut until 1832. In February of that year he came to Otsego County, and after buying a tract of land in the town of Otsego, returned to his old home, making the journey to and fro on foot.
In April of the same year he came back to Otsego County, with oxen and cart, in which were conveyed a part of the household goods, and a cow was tied behind the cart. In the month of June Mr. Baldwin sent a man with a pair of horses and a wagon to bring his family to the new home. He worked industriously to obtain a competence, devoting a part of his time to the improvement of his farm, and the remainder to making shoes.
He "whipped the cat," as the expression went, that is, he used to take his kit of tools to different houses, and make shoes enough for the family to last a year. He lived to a good old age, and quietly passed away on his farm January 27, 1862.
His wife survived him some years, dying May 5, 1879, in the ninety-first year of her age.
They had five children - Delia, Ann Eliza, Leonard W., Mary E. and George W.
