  7. [S713] Joshua Borthwick, Article Number Twenty-Seven - The Baldwin Family Cont'd, Noah Baldwin, Sr., was the brother of Abiel Baldwin, Sr., and was born in Durham, Conn., Sept. 10, 1738. He was married July 30, 1760, to Mehitable Parmalee, daughter of Hezekiah Parmalee, and lived on the same farm with his brother Abiel. There are some very striking resemblances between the two families of these two brothers. Although Abiel was eight years older than Noah, they seem to have been very firm friends, living and dying on the same farm. Their wives both had the same name, Mehitable, and they both had large families: Abiel ten, and Noah eleven children. Nine of Abiel's children and eight of Noah's reached mature years, and eight of each family made this town their permanent home. This comprised five sons and three daughters of Abiel's family, and three sons, and five daughters of Noah's. They were all well educated for those days, and were all professors of religion, and became useful members of society.
