Henry Baldwin witnessed the will of John Baldwin of Billerica. They married cousins (both were Richardsons.) Candee Baldwin in the Baldwin Genealogy speculates these two factors could lead one to believe these two men were brothers.
Marriage Notes for John Baldwin and Mary RICHARDSON-280
MARRIAGE: CD says Marr. was 15-3-1685 but must be a typo should be 1655
The three brothers, Ezekiel, Samuel and Thomas Richardson, are known as such by the will of Ezekiel, who names the other two as his brothers. Ezekiel, evidently the oldest, was the first to come to New England, and was a planter in Cbarlestown in 1630. His departure previous to the making of the will, perhaps against his father's wishes, or possibly having received his share of his father's small estate, may account for the name of Ezekiel not appearing in the will. His baptism is not found at West Mill. as are the baptisms of Samuel and Thomas. Ezekiel probably came with Winthrop, he and his wife becoming members of the Charlestown church, 27 Aug., 1630. Thomas Richardson, baptized at West mill, 3 July, 1608, had wife Mary, who joined the Charlestown church, 21 Feb., 1635/6, and he joined, 18 Feb., 1637/8. Admitted to the First Church in Charlestown in 1637/8 with his brother Samuel.
