In the early 1800's, Virginia was adjacent to Ohio. Frederick County was in northern VA. Elizabeth Mann, the daughter of an unknown man and Sarah Cole Mann, was living there with her family in 1805 when she married William A. Baldwin. They had a few children, then moved to Harrison County, Ohio in 1810 where our grandma Sarah Baldwin was born. They were in Tuscarawas County, Ohio by 1830 where Sarah married into the Ervin family and their son, Reese, married John Ervin's step daughter.
Back in Frederick County, VA a deed dated 1816 read,
"William Baldwin and wife Elizabeth of Harrison County, Ohio, to William Powell Simmonds of Frederick County, Virginia for $210 . . . which land was granted by Lord Fairfax to John Cole March 31, 1781 and by his last will and testament devised to his wife Massey Cole and by her willed to their daughter Sarah and her heirs one of which is Elizabeth, wife of William Baldwin, and the other is Jane wife of said William P. Simonds. Fourteen acres plus."
Elizabeth's husband, William A. and the children, mostly grown, moved west to Scott County, Indiana in 1838. Elizabeth must have died in Ohio as I could find no reference to her.
Sarah Cole (1760 to 1816) was perhaps born in Morristown, New Jersey, so would have been there at the same time as the Ervin family, the family her granddaughter married into. No information has been found about her husband.
Mercy Kent Cole was thought to have been from Massachusetts and New Jersey. She married John Cole and they lived in Frederick County, VA
Phoebe Winchel Kent may have been part of the Winchel family of Connecticut. She married Thomas Kent but I have no information about their children except for Mercy, above.
