JOHN ABEEL BALDWIN, D.D. Rev. John Abeel Baldwin, son of Jesse and Harriet (Barnet) Baldwin, was born in New York City, April 25, 1810. His father, a prominent merchant of New York, was an office-bearer in the Collegiate Reformed Dutch Church. He was graduated from Yale College in 1829; studied law for a time; entered the Theological Seminary at Andover in 1831; the following year he removed to Princeton Seminary, graduating in 1834. Stated supply of the Presbyterian Church at Whippany, N.J., 1835; ordained by the Reformed Dutch Classis of Long Island, March 22, 1836; pastor Reformed Churches of Flatlands and New Lots, Long Island, 183652; pastor First Presbyterian Church, Lancaster, Pa., 1852-56; pastor New Providence, N.J., 1857-63; then resided until his death at Brooklyn, N.Y., frequently preaching in the churches of the city and vicinity, and supplying for a time the Presbyterian Church of Woodhaven. Dr. Baldwin’s preaching was eminently biblical, and as a pastor he was pre-eminently successful, winning the hearts of his people. A painful illness of nearly four months duration, resulting from exposure in bad weather, when on a visit to his former parishioners in New Providence, to whom he preached his last sermon, closed his life at Brooklyn, N.Y., Feb. 22, 1886, in his 76th year.
Dr. Baldwin was married at Flatbush, N.Y., Sept. 19, 1837, to Elizabeth Elemdorf, daughter of Lawrence L. Van Kleeck, of Albany, N.Y. His wife died May 4, 1879. They had four sons and one daughter. One son died in early manhood. The rest survive.
