Please thank the person(s) who wrote her Bio. The Baldwin's are in my tree. I learned so much reading this article. The whole family contributed to humanity.
She had one step-child Josephine Baldwin and 6 of her own, as you noted. Josephine's mom Nellie Gorman Baldwin had died on 3/16/1861 during a voyage from Fuzhou China to San Francisco. Nellie was sick in Fuzhou and recommended by doctors to go back to America for recovery.
I did not know that the second wife had the same kind of event. I can image the husband Stephen Baldwin's worry, after losing the first wife to disease.
It appears that Josephine age 1.5 stayed in NJ while her father Stephen and Esther went to Fuzhou.
As an adult, Josephine became very well known in the Methodist world by creating weekly Sunday school hymnal booklets used to teach the Sunday school kids. She graduated 1879 Centenary College at Hackettstown NJ. She was Valedictorian. Did some work at St. Paul's Methodist Episcopal church in Newark NJ. Lived 1919 at 201 North 6th Street, Newark, NJ.
Esther had a niece Faith Baldwin (1893-1978) who became an acclaimed fiction Romance Writer. Faith also had a 1950s TV show. It was a weekly Saturday afternoon anthology series called Faith Baldwin Romance Theater. I remember watching the show.
