Simeon Baldwin (1761-1851) (Yale 1781) was born in Norwich in the Connecticut Colony and practiced law in New Haven. In 1790, he was elected New Haven city clerk--he served this position until his election as a Federalist to the United States Eighth Congress, which he held from 1803 March 4 to 1805 March 3. Baldwin was associate judge of the Superior Court from 1806 to 1808 and the Connecticut Supreme Court of Errors from 1808 to 1818. In 1826, he served as the Mayor of New Haven.
Baldwin was married to Rebecca Sherman Baldwin (1764-1795), with whom he had seven children--among them were Ebenezer Baldwin (1790-1837) and Roger S. Baldwin (1793-1863) (Yale 1811).
