Notes for Richard Baldwin II
660Richard Baldwin II (1602 - 1636)
Richard had passed his fortieth year when he succeeded his father, Henry, in 1602, and after ten years of marriage, found that he had to look elsewhere for an heir. He fixed his eyes on Henry, the third son of his brother Sylvester who had made his mark in life and became a notable Barrister-at-Law. As such, he would be much interested in the events occasioned by the change of dynasty, from Tudor to Stuart in 1603, the Gunpowder Plot and the publication of the authorised version of the Bible.
Richard's time was devoted to farming and charitable works in which he was abetted by his wife and mother. On the death of the latter, he took over the furniture which her husband had reserved to her in his Will of 1602. In her Will she gave favourable consideration to her own folk at Aston Clinton.
Richard survived her by about ten years, his burial being entered into the register of funerals at Aston Clinton as taking place on 16th October 1636, and his nephew Henry, son of Sylvester succeeded him at Dundridge. We do not follow the fortunes of the heir because he was, more or less, an absentee landlord, his interests being in his profession of Barrister-in-Law of Clifford's Inn, and subsequently residing and practising in Guildford, where he died and was buried at St. Mary's Church there.
So we turn our attention to the elder Sylvester's family the third son of which had become Lord of the Manor. George, the first born, died young and the second son, John, was passed over in the search for an heir. Maybe he was left to manage his brother's lands and perhaps he was that John who joined his brother Sylvester in his emigration plans.
