This Sarah Baldwin who married Samuel Buckingham NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH Sarah Baldwin 25 September 1655 - 11 January 1729 • 9CH5-T8R who married Ensign Samuel Royce. RAJ 8 March 2015.
Sometime between 1633 when he proved his father's will in court and 1639 when he shows up in Connecticut, Timothy Baldwin and several of his family members moved to New England. He appears on page 403 and 404 of The Baldwin Genealogy. According to this source, Timothy was one of "the first settlers [of Milford, Conn.] in 1639 and joined the church in 1643, with Mary his wife, who died July 31, 1647 ...That he was a brother of Nathaniel, appears from an entry from the long, narrow book of Milford records...Timothy lived for awhile in Guilford, Conn., about 1650, having married, March 5, 1645 (? this is probably a bad date), Mary Mepham, widow of John, of Guilford...About 1651 or 1652 they sold the Mepham property and moved back to Milford." According to this source he died January 18, 1664/5. His known children are Mary, Hannah, Sarah, Abigail, Anne, and Timothy. The dates above given for the death of his wife and for his second marriage don't make any sense - he likely did not marry his second wife before his first wife died. The death date for his first wife seems good, but the marriage date for his second wife is suspect.
His will was written in January 1664/5. Timothy's will gave lands to his eldest daughter, Mary Smith, wife of Benjamin Smith; 50 pounds to his daughter Hannah Baldwin, who was not yet married; 50 pounds to his daughter, Sarah Buckingham; and the residue of his lands to his son Timothy Baldwin, as well as an ewe sheep to each of three grandchildren, and 4 pounds to John Mappan, his second wife's son. His wife was sole executor. The inventory taken 6 Feb 1664/5 amounted to 529 pounds 18 shillings and 6 pence.
It appears that his oldest child, Mary, was baptized in 1643, so it is likely that he married after he moved to Connecticut from England, although a marriage record for his first wife has not been found.
Timothy and his brothers are also mentioned In a book called the History of Milford, Connecticut, which can be found online here: https://archive.org/stream/historyofmilford00fede#page/n3/mode/2up. Starting on page 7, there are 5 men with the last name of Baldwin who are mentioned in the first town meeting, held on November 20, 1639: Richard, Nathaniel, Timothy, Joseph, and John. It is commonly believed that Joseph, Nathaniel, and Timothy were brothers; I am still trying to figure out their exact relationship with Richard and John.
On Ancestry.com there is a record called "Milford Vital Records, 1640 - 1850" which contains some information about Timothy and his family, but very skeletal.
Sarah's mother died in 1647, when Sarah was only about 2 years old. Her father remarried, and they may have lived for a time in Guilford, before moving back to Milford.
Except for the time she may have spent in Guilford with her father and step-mother, it looks like Sarah lived her whole life in Milford. She was very young when her mother died, and so was at least partially raised by her step-mom. She is included in the book, "Families of Early Milford..." that can be found online here: https://books.google.com/books?id=RJcfa0INt4IC&pg=PA47&lpg=PA47&dq=benjamin+smith+and+mary+baldwin&source=bl&ots=IjD-m7Uo_8&sig=4tJr3i6M3cJu8uUh_rdPzOCCgN4&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0CDwQ6AEwBmoVChMI75nfooqOyAIVkS2ICh28uAxv#v=onepage&q=benjamin%20smith%20and%20mary%20baldwin&f=false (this site has a restricted view. You can also find this book in its entirety on ancestry.com). See page 60 and 138-139. Page 139 has an entry for husband Samuel Buckingham, and lists 10 children for this couple.
Old Milford Cemetery was established in 1642 and it is likely here that Sarah was buried.
Sarah lived until at least 1700 when she declined to be the executor of her husband's will. See this book, "Descendants of Gov. Thomas Welles of Connecticut, Volume 1, 2nd Edition," which can be seen online here: https://books.google.com/books?id=OSjwBQAAQBAJ&pg=PA236&lpg=PA236&dq=will+of+samuel+buckingham+dated+6+october+1692&source=bl&ots=nc4PSVPj-D&sig=_WE3ccrSxG6pbE7r5nIMYi6Ltfw&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0CB0Q6AEwAGoVChMIq8_rjoCQyAIVDzSICh2FMQP1#v=onepage&q=will%20of%20samuel%20buckingham%20dated%206%20october%201692&f=false. See page 236.
