Village of Hadley, Massachusetts, c.1663
The diagram of lots in the Village of Hadley shows our 9th g-grandfather, Joseph Baldwin, as one of the residents.

Very cool, as Nathaniel Dickinson is likely my 9th great grandfather, who would have been about 63 years old (or possibly my 8th great grandfather, his 20-year-old son).

ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful document to have that traces your family back to 1663! It even shows where he lived and the name of the street.
