1. BALDWIN.
    SERG RICHARD, of Milford was the son of Sylvester Baldwin, who died June 21, 1638, on the passage from England in the ship Martin, and his wife Sarah (Bryan) Baldwin. He was baptized in the Parish Aston Clinton, Buckinghamshire, England, August 25, 1622, and, perhaps, came with his father. Among the names of the planters at New Haven in 1643, appears Widow Baldwin, five in the family, estate 800 lb. Richard evidently had a good education for the times, and possessed much energy and enterprise of character but precarious health, of which he complained to the Court as a reason why he had not made greater progress in settling Paugassett. He married, February 5, 1642-3, Elizabeth Alsop, sister of Joseph of New Haven, and died July 23, 1665, and his estate was presented at Hartford, September 23, 1665. His eldest son received a double portion; his youngest child, born after his death, being omitted altogether. His widow m. in 1670, William Fowler, son of William the first in Milford. Richard Baldwin was the leading man of the ten who purchased land, and began the settlement of Derby.

BARTHELME.
    CLAUDIUS, was born in France in 1737, and was the son of a merchant. In 1750 he engaged in the regiment of Royal Rolison and shortly after was sent to America with Montcalm. A copy of a letter is still in the possession of the family which was written by Claudius to his brother in France, which contains a detailed account of his voyage to Canada, and of the several battles in which he participated against the English, among which was the nine days' siege at Fort George and the massacre. He came to Derby in the year 1760, and soon after m. Susanna, daughter of Samuel Plumb. He built a house on the opposite side of the street from the " Jewett house" at Up Town. After settling in Derby he engaged in trade with the West Indies, and was three times a large ship owner. He and his son Jerrod were sea captains, and, as a result of Bonaparte's celebrated "Milan Decree" in 1808, lost three merchantmen by confiscation by the French government. In his religious views he was a devout Roman Catholic and for several years was the only one in Derby. In politics he took an independent stand, and for several years his was the only vote cast against the Whigs of Derby. His wife, Susanna, died January 26, 1818. He died October 10, 1824, aged 87. Children:

BASSETT.
    John, of New Haven, in 1647, died Feb. 1653, leaving son Robert, and probably Samuel and other children.
    • 2. ROBERT, son of John Bassett of New Haven, born in England. was in New Haven in 1643, and was shoemaker and town drummer; removed to Stratford and had family of several children. It was probably the wife of this Robert Bassett who was executed at Stratford in 1651 or soon after, as a witch, as is confirmed by the Colonial Records of New Haven, vol. II. 81. The records of Connecticut show under date of May, 1651, that "Governor Haynes, Mr. Cullick and Mr. Clarke were desired to go down to Stratford to keep court upon the trial of Goody Bassett for her life". After Mrs. Bassett was executed the witch mania continued and eventuated in the execution, also, of Goodwife Knapp in 1654. Soon after this Goodwife Staplies was reported to be a witch; upon which her husband prosecuted certain parties in court for defaming his wife. This turn of matters soon ended the complaints about witches. The pity is that Robert Bassett did not sue for slander the defamers of his wife, and the court for murdering her. It was after his wife's execution that this same Robert Bassett as a leader, with others in 1653, made considerable stir in Stratford and Stamford against the government of the plantation which would not allow a man to vote unless he was a member of the church, and was tried for the offense at New Haven, but was excused upon some acknowledgments of error. This was the grandfather of Capt. Samuel Bassett of Derby, one of the most reliable and honorable men of which the old town can boast. Children:
      • 3. Robert.
      • 4. Sarah; m. Jacob Walker Dec. 10, 1670.
      • 5. Sarah (error as to name); m. Henry Tiff, Nov. 8, 1673.

        3. SERG. ROBERT, son of Robert Bassett, sen., m. Elizabeth ------ resided in Stratford, and died Aug. 5, 1720. He bought a part of the Hawley Purchase in Derby and gave it to his son Samuel. He had a brother or son Ephraim whose wife died Aug. 18, 1726. Children:

"Know ye that I, Robert Bassett of Stratford, county Fairfield, in consideration of the entire love and parental affection that I have to my loving and dutiful son Samuel Bassett, have freely given . . . several parcels of land." One parcel was at the foot of Great Hill, still known as the Old Bassett place; three or more pieces were on Great Hill. He married Mrs. Deborah Bennett " from near Newtown " January 1, 1719; was commissioned ensign in 1722, lieutenant in 1732, and captain in 1735, was justice of the peace many years, and held many and responsible offices, and was a man of large influence beyond the limits of, as well as in his own town. The date of his death could not be ascertained from his gravestone, although the stone is still standing and his name on it preserved very clearly, but the date is beneath the ground. Two of his sons died in the Revolutionary war.
