Baldwin, Samuel, 1731-1784

The Rev. Samuel Baldwin (1731-1784), son of Col. David and Abigail Jennison Baldwin, attended Harvard College (B.A., 1752; M.A., 1756), before being settled as Minister of Hanover, Mass., in 1756. He married Hannah, daughter of John and Mary Cotton Cushing, and was widely known as an able and popular preacher and an ardent Whig. He was dismissed from his church in 1780, after his church could not keep pace with the inflation. He was in poor health for several years prior to his death in 1784.
