His parents are not Sir John Baldwin (11 August 1470 Aylesbury,
Dundridge, Buckinghamshire, England - 24 October 1545
Buckinghamshire, England) and Agnes Dormer (circa 1482 Wycombe,
Buckinghamshire, England - bef 1565).  This John Baldwin had no male
heir.  His daughter Agnes married Robert Pakington and their son
inherited John's land.  The son of John's widow Agnes rented
Dundridge Manor to a Richard Baldwin who was probably a rich
relative.

Alternatively, birth place Hayle, Buckinghamshire.

J.L. Chester 1888, New England Genealogical Society Register vol. 38,
pp. 160-170.  Richard Baldwyn or Bawldwyn of Donrigge, will dated 16
January 1552/3, proved 21 February 1552/3.  He was probably the
tenant of the Dundridge Manor, not its owner.  Mentioned in the will
are wife Ellyn (Ellen); daughter Alis; daughter Agnes (under age 19
in 1552, hence born after 1533); Daughter Cicelly (under age 19 in
1552, hence born after 1533); daughter Letise (under age 19 in 1552,
hence born after 1533); son John, to inherit the farm at Dongrove,
Chesham Parish (under age 23 in 1552, hence born after 1529); son
Henry; son Richard, to inherit his tenth in Cholsbury  (under age 23
in 1552, hence born after 1529); the son of brother Heughe Baldwyn;
brother John Baldwyn; and brother John Apuke.

A.V. Woodman 1959, New England Genealogical Society Register 113, 245-
248.  Taxed 1525 on 40s of goods in Aston Clinton.  He is the son who
probably married in 1524 and received a gift of lands from his
father, thus lowering his father's tax assessment.  He also
apparently inherited a lease on the manor at Dundridge.

P.H. Haselton 1989, The English Ancestry of Joseph and Sylvester
Baldwin, p. 7.  1546 and 1552, Richard holds a lease on Dundridge, a
reputed manor.  A true manor at this era was a holdover from the
feudal system in which the lord of the manor held significant rights
over his tenants.  Dundridge would more appropriately be considered a
large farm whose fields extended to the edge of the village of St.
Leonards, in the Chiltern Hills about 4 miles away from Aston
Clinton.   Muster Roll of 1522 gives population of 30-40.  Circa 1580
Field Survey names twelve resident families including the Baldwins.
Cholesbury, a miles to the east of St. Leonards, was an independent
and true manor of only 165 acres.

P.H. Haselton 1989, The English Ancestry of Joseph and Sylvester
Baldwin, p. 17.  Richard Baldwin apparently a successful farmer.

Buried in the churchyard at Astron Clinton Parish.
