The middle name of Baldwin caught my eye but I can't find a connection but
you Richard may tie into one of the siblings of my James Baldwin CATE. Here
s the link:
http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~famtrees/CATE/james_3.htm
The title of the pages are wrong but the info within is as it should be. I
hope you can find a lead! Good luck!
