"Sincerity, Generosity, Magnanimity"
- The Baldwin Family Coat-of-Arms Motto

We are doing research on the following surnames:

1) Baldwin, Hunt, Frasure, Elliott: Lawrence County, Ohio; Floyd and Pike Counties, Kentucky

[In particular we are looking for ancestor information for Solomon Baldwin (1810-1861), Floyd County, Kentucky.]

2) Toeneboehn, Tonebon, Tobias, Wendt: St. Louis, Missouri; Kansas City, Kansas/Missouri; Prussia; Tundern and Hameln, West Germany

3) Red: Arkansas; Stone Mountain, Georgia

4) Fleming, Hathcock, Bradbury, Borecky: Arkansas; Tennessee

1/2007: I was asked and I agreed to participate in a Baldwin Family DNA Project. I received the test kit from Family Tree DNA Link and sent my samples back. I participated at the 37 marker level (more genetic markers reveal closer matches to modern ancestors). I recently received the 37 marker test results. Using the FTDNA web site tools I was able to look at the closest matches to my DNA. Of the 250+ samples (with more being added each week) that closely or exactly match my DNA, none were Baldwin. Instead, the surname Manes/Maness/Maynor/Lawson matched perfectly.

This startling fact will cause us to reconsider not only who Solomon Baldwin really was but also who we, as Baldwin family members, really are. Please check the bottom of this page for relevant links to DNA project resources.
