Notes

Note 1

Dates are wrong somewhere! Carolina is only 10 years older than Margia. per 1880 census, 1850 census Monroe Cty Miss dwelling 129shows Penelope age 8 with family including sister Margt A age 2 months. Assume Maud?? had earlier marriage for some of children?? or Maud is Mordeciah, maybe first marriage with older sister?? Elizabeth age 10, was born Ala.

also 1850 cenus Monroe County, dwelling 668 is Nancy Smith age 55 born Georgia with Mordicai 28, John 26, William 18, Rachel 14 and Minerva Baldwin 13. consider Baldwin brothers Mordeciah and William married sisters Woodruff, Mordeciah twice married a Woodruff.. daughters of Dennis Woodruff.

Mississippi Marriages 1800-1911 on Family Search has Dennis Woodruff, male, daughter Caroline Woodruff with Mordeciah Baldwin, spouse Caroline Woodruff, married 27 June 1855, Monroe County, Mississippi.

Dennis Woodruff married 30 Oct 1834 to Frances Barker in Lawrence Alabama. together with children 1850 census Monroe County Miss.

seems to be connection to Jenetta Penelope Woodruff wife of William R Baldwin. “Aunt Nett Baldwin”

From Emma Flynt Bowie papers “My Family History” 21 pages, first page begins Marion Francis Baldwin son of Maud Baldwin and Margy Woodruff.

Note 2

Aunt Nett Woodruff Baldwin at age 47 married WJ Bayne, age 55 in November 1897. Second marriage for both.

Note in Emma Flynt Bowie Family Record book in Lola's hand writting "Aunt Nett Woodruff Baldwin Bayne died Dec 4, 1925, widow of Dr. D. W. Bayne." in Emma's hand "Grandpa Baldwin Aunt - his father's sister.” 2019- looks like Nett was sister of his mother, and also his uncle’s wife..

Several Baynes are in Lonoke City Cemetery including WD and Emily probably parents of WJ.

Jenetta is titled Mrs Baldwin in the marriage record.

"Bain" in census 1910 and 1920 after he died. "Mattie Bayne" in 1900 census with William J Bayne and son Logan

lived with "grandpa Baldwin" after Dr Bayne death and buried in Wattensaw with Baldwin family
