Jedidiah Baldwin 



Jedidiah Baldwin (fl. 1790's) was another early New England 

 clock and instrument maker, but little is known of his early life. 

 He was a brother of Jabes Baldwin (c. 1777-1829), who worked as 

 a clockmaker in Salem and Boston after serving an apprenticeship 

 with Thomas Harland in Norwich, Connecticut. 



Jedidiah Baldwin also served an apprenticeship with Harland. 

 In 1791 he was working in Northampton, Massachusetts, as a 

 member of the firm of Stiles and Baldwin, and from 1792 to 1794 

 he was a member of the firm of Stiles and Storrs, in partnership 

 with Nathan Storrs.^^^ In about 1794 Baldwin moved to Hanover,
