Mellon Foundation. Finding aid written in English. Biographical NoteNathaniel Baldwin (fl. 1769-1799), the son of Elijah Baldwin (ca. 1718-1766), was probably the great-grandson of John Baldwin, Sr., a shoemaker from Milford, Connecticut who was granted tracts of land in Newark, New Jersey. Nathaniel Baldwin, and probably his father and his brother Elias, were also Newark shoemakers. It is possible that the three were in business together. Return to the Table of Contents Scope and Content NoteNathaniel Baldwin’s account book contains records from the years 1769-1799, with the majority of transactions taking place in the 1770s.
