Caleb BALDWIN

                   Apparently there were more than one Philemon Baldwin's born around the same timeperiod that has caused some confusion regarding Caleb Baldwins father. The following is an excerpt from the Baldwin Genealogy written in 1881 that has been archived in a library in New England:
BALDWIN GENEALOGY, FROM
1500 to 1881.
BY ?CHARLES CANDEE BALMIN, 1881
391. PHILEMON '> Caleb ' Josiah,^ b. Oct. 9, 1778, iu Clermont, N.H. He was amiller and farmer,who settled at a nearly period on Flat street, and on what was afterwards the Weed Farm, in Penn Yau, Yates county, N. Y. He was a man of shrewd and pointed wit, noted for fun and joviality. The name, Penn Yan, is attributed to him. After long discussion of the name,he proposed "Pang Yang" as a compromise between the Pennsylvanians and Yankees. This proposal was not received with enthusiasm, but was finally adopted. In Carey&Lee'sAtlas, of 1822, the name is"Penyauk." While living at the foot of Cayuga Lake,he killed one year twenty-five bears, mostly in the lake while crossing, and many deer. He died about 1857.
