Town
of Baldwin
|
BALDWIN.
This town is situated southeast of the centre of the county, with a narrow strip, extending to the east border, between the towns of Chemung and Van Etten.
It contains an area of 16,454 acres, of which 10,125 acres are improved.
According to the census of 1875, it had a total population of 1006 inhabitants, of which 979 were native, and 27 foreign born, 1004 white, 2 colored. There were 523 males and 483 females, aliens 15. A voting population of 286, of which 271 were native, and 9 naturalized citizens, 6 aliens. Males of military age, 203. Persons of school age, 143 males, and 128 females. Number of land-owners, 175. Persons over twenty-one years of age unable to read or write, 24.
The surface is a hilly upland, broken by the deep valleys of Baldwin and Wynkoop Creeks, which creeks are also the principal water-courses.
The soil is a gravelly loam in the valleys, and a clay loam upon the hills, well adapted to tillage and grazing. As in most other sections of the county, the people here are chiefly engaged in farming. The farms are in a good state of cultivation, and the stock and agricultural implements in use are of the best and most improved kind.
EARLY SETTLEMENT.
Charles and Warren Granger, brothers, made the first settlement in the territory now known as Baldwin township, in the year 1813. They settled on the site of the village of Hammond’s Corners. Warren built a house where John Hammond now resides, and Charles erected one on the corner formerly owned by Elisha Hammond. As they remained here but a very few years, little else is known of them.
The next family to arrive was that of Henry Tice [and wife Huldah VanGorder], a soldier of the Revolutionary war. He came from Ulster County, this State, and settled in the southern part of Chemung township, in the year 1800. In 1814 he removed to Baldwin, taking up the lot now occupied by the widow of Reynolds Elston. He lived to be ninety years of age. Of a family of twelve children, three are still surviving, as follows: Mrs. Mary Collson, [Mary Tice Photo] aged eighty-two years, John Tice, aged seventy-eight years, residents of the town of Baldwin, and Jacob Tice, who resides near Elmira, aged seventy years.
Jason Hammond and his sons, Elisha, James, David, Robert R., and Cornelius, came from Ulster co., N.Y., in 1815, and settled at the corners, purchasing the property owned originally by the Granger brothers. Elisha, the oldest son, was a soldier of the war of 1812, an active and prominent citizen in the settlement, and one who did much towards increasing the population of the new district, raising up a family of fifteen children, all of whom grew to be men and women.
William Hammond, another brother of Elisha, was also a soldier of 1812; was wounded in an engagement with the enemy, taken prisoner, and died in their hands.
Robert R., the fifth son of Jason, still resides on the farm owned formerly by his father. The same year (1815) there was a Mr. Marshall and Francis Drake, who also settled at Hammond’s Corners.
In 1816, Charles Dunn and Thomas Baldwin came up from the southern part of Chemung County and settled at the corners, while Peter McCumber, from Providence, R. I., settled on Baldwin Creek, two miles down the stream from the corners, and a Mr. Haywood and Simeon Kent settled on the ridge in the southwest corner of the town. Phineas Blodgett also located at Hammond’s Corners the same year.
According to the statement of Jeremiah McCumber, Esq., the population of the town was largely increased during the year commencing with the spring of 1817, by the arrival and settlement here of twenty-seven heads of families, all good, substantial citizens, from the States of Vermont, Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Jersey, and the eastern part of the State. Prominent among them was Jeremiah McCumber, from Middletown, Rutland Co., Vt., who settled on lot No. 50 of the Lenox Tract. Mr. McCumber was soon after appointed sub-agent for the sale and care of this tract, and continued as such for many years. He has been a very active man in matters relating to the welfare of his town, and during their lifetime was the intimate friend and associate of Judge McDowell and Isaac Shepard, while they were all citizens of the old town of Chemung, and county of Tioga. In the early years of his life he went down to the sea as a seaman, in the merchant service of his countrymen, and relates that, at the time the last war was declared between this country and Great Britain, he had started on a whaling voyage, outward bound from New Redford; when about two hundred miles out they were spoken by an American vessel, and apprised of the war. They returned for fear of capture by the enemy’s cruisers.
In the enjoyment of robust health, Mr. McCumber still resides in the town of Baldwin, aged eighty-eight years, claiming to be the oldest man in the town.
John Collson and his sons John, Jonathan, Anthony, Philander, Sprague, David, Daniel, and daughter Sally, came from Dorset, Vt., in 1817, and settled on the farm now owned by his son Philander. He lived to be eighty-five years of age. Of his children now living here, there are Jonathan, seventy-six years of age; Philander, seventy-two years; and Sprague, aged sixty-nine. There are many descendants, and the name is the synonym of integrity and eminent respectability.
Stephen Inman, with his sons Martin, George, James, Stephen, Jr., and Charles, also from Dorset, Vt., came in the same year, and settled in the north part of the town. His wife died in September, 1875, aged ninety-nine years, while he died in February, 1876, ninety-seven years of age.
Among others who settled here in 1817 were Alfonso Lathrop, and his sons Edward and John, from Kingston, N.Y.; Jesse and Josiah Brooks, brothers, from Connecticut; Daniel Higgins, John Blandin, and Gilbert Salnave, from localities unknown.
Isaac Brown, from Orange County, this State, settled on the premises now owned by his son, Aaron A. Brown, in 1818. Of a family of twelve children, the survivors are Aaron A., Nathaniel, and William T., all residents of Baldwin, and most worthy citizens. Abraham Brewer settled on the Bunto place in 1819.
Levi Little, with his family, came from Monroe, Orange Co., in 1819, and first settled at Elmira. In 1820 he removed to Baldwin, taking up a lot on the Lenox Tract, the property owned by his family at the present time. He was a soldier in the war of 1812, and proud of his record. Was connected with some of the best families in the eastern part of the State, and though of a quiet, dignified bearing, yet he was prominently interested in all matters relating to the public good and welfare of his townsmen. He was the father of twelve children, and died at the age of seventy-one years, universally respected.
Paul Whitaker, a soldier of the war of 1812, was born in the town of Richmond, N. H. At an early age he went to Orange, Mass., where he remained until twenty-one years of age, when he removed to Vestal, Broome Co. In 1822 he settled on lot 16, in this town, and, at the age of eighty-four years, still resides on the farm opened by him.
James Cooper, another soldier of 1812, together with his nephew, John Cooper, emigrated from New Jersey to Enfield, Tompkins Co., in 1818. Ten years later they removed to Baldwin, settling about three miles east of the village of Hammond’s Corners. John Cooper still resides there, at the age of seventy-five years.
INITIAL EVENTS.
Charles and Warren Granger erected the first houses in the town of Baldwin. Warren built where John Hammond now lives, and Charles on the corner formerly owned by Elisha Hammond. These houses were built in 1813. Levi Little built the first frame house, in 1835. John Blandin built the first frame barn, in 1818.
Elisha Hammond built the first saw-mill, on the property now owned by George Inman, in 1828. Charles J. Hutchins built the first grist-mill, 1875. The first crops were harvested by the Granger brothers. Daniel R. Harris kept the first tavern, in 1845. Elijah Ruger carried the first mail, in 1848; the route was from Elmira to Van Etten. The post-office at North Chemung was established in 1846, and Anthony Collson was the first postmaster. His nephew, Captain Paul Collson, is postmaster at the present time. The union church was the first church edifice erected. It was completed in 1852. The first school-house was built in 1821. It stood directly opposite where Jonathan Collson now resides. In 1819, John Tuthill, Jr., taught the first school in a little log house owned by Jesse Brooks. Nicholas Patterson and Miss Anna Tice were married in 1818,--the first marriage that occurred in the new settlement. Simeon Hammond, a son of Jason, was the first child born here, 1815.
The first death was that of Thomas Wheeler, who was killed by the falling of a tree in 1820. The first physician was Dr. J. W. Moore, who settled here in 1836. The Methodists formed a society here in 1818.
Miles covel and Jacob Tice kept the first store, in 1840. A Mr. Beckhorn, from Orange County, was the first resident surveyor. John Collson brought the first wagon into the new settlement, in 1817.
CIVIL HISTORY.
Baldwin was formed from the towns of Chemung, April 7, 1856. It derives its name from the Baldwin family, a family of much prominence in the history of this part of the country since the first settlement of old Chemung township, Montgomery Co., in the year 1786.

VILLAGES.
HAMMOND’S CORNERS (NORTH CHEMUNG POST-OFFICE)
is situated in the valley of Baldwin Creek, near the central part of the town. It contains one church (union), one parsonage (Methodist), one steam saw- and grist-mill,* one store, one grocery, two shoe-shops, one wagon-shop, one cooper-shop, one blacksmith-shop, one district school, a post-office, and about two hundred inhabitants. Its site was owned originally by Charles and Warren Granger.
*The steam saw- and gristmill of Mr. Charles I. Hutchins was erected in 1875, and supplies to the inhabitants of the town of Baldwin a want long needed. The engine is of forty horse-power, and the saw-mill manufactures 100,000 feet of lumber per year. The grist mill does a local business only.
William Moore’s steam saw-mill, two miles southwest of the village, manufactures about 200,000 feet of lumber per year.
HICKS
is a post-office station in the eastern par in the valley of Wynkoop Creek.
CHURCHES.
THE UNION CHURCH AT NORTH CHEMUNG
was erected, in 1852, as a church edifice free to all denominations. Seven trustees were appointed, one from the Christians, one from the Methodists, one from the Baptists, one from the Presbyterians, and three from the non-denominationalists. It was build by subscription, costing $1100, and will seat 250 people. Rev. Dr. Murdock, Presbyterian, from Elmira, preached the dedicatory sermon.
THE METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH OF NORTH CHEMUNG.
A class was formed here as early as 1818, among whom were Jesse Brooks and his wife, Henry Tice, and Huldah, his wife, Susan Collson, Abigail Fox, Mrs. Sally Baldwin, Mrs. Fanny Dunn, and Jason Hammond, and Mary, his wife. Jesse Brooks was the first leader. Rev. Hiram Warner and Rev. Mr. Birge were the first circuit preachers. No regular organization existed here, however, until May 20, 1878, when through the zeal and untiring efforts of their present pastor, Rev. A. Eusign, they have become formally and thoroughly organized. The society numbers 153 members in good standing; 37 probationers, and own a parsonage valued at $800. Their meetings are held in the union church.
SOCIETIES.
North Chemung Grange, No. 227, was formed, with 30 members, in July, 1874. The first officers elected were as follows: Miles S. Nixson, Master; J. Collson, Jr., Overseer; N. Cooper, Steward; E. M. Little, Assistant Steward; G. S. Little, Lecturer; John E. Smith, Treas.; William R. Hammond, Sec.; and A. R. Brown, Chaplain.
The officers for 1878 are Charles Woodhouse, Master; G. S. Little, Overseer; D. M. Collson, Steward; f. M. Hammond, Assistant Steward; John E. Smith, Lecturer; N. Cooper, Treas.; and William R. Hammond, Sec. The grange has a membership of 50 at the present time, and meets for the transaction of business weekly at their hall in North Chemung.
There are no internal improvements to be found in the town of Baldwin, except the ordinary carriage-ways incident to all country districts. This is the only town in the county of Chemung not intersected by a railway, and, strange as it may seem, the people congratulate themselves that such is the fact.
MILITARY HISTORY.
The small town of Baldwin did her whole duty to aid in suppressing the Rebellion, pouring out her treasure, and sending out good men without stint, until the last armed foe had disappeared.
The town paid in bounties to soldiers $25,775. It is unknown to what amount the town was reimbursed by the State.
The whole number of soldiers sent out and furnished by the town was 116, a complete roster of them being herewith appended.
In compiling the history of the town of Baldwin, we are indebted to Messrs. Jonathan Collson, John Tice, Paul Collson, G. S. Little, Philander Collson, Robert R. Hammond, William R. Hammond, John Hammond, Jeremiah McCumber, Paul Whitaker, William T. Brown, John Cooper, Charles I. Hutchins, Mrs. Mary Collson, and the Misses Lintis for valuable information and may courtesies, to all of whom we desire to return our sincere thanks.
