Baldwin family
The Baldwin family is an American family of professional performers, including the four brothers Alec, Daniel, William, and Stephen.
Ancestry
The Baldwin family’s patrilineal line traces to a Richard Baldwin, who lived in England in the 1500s. Through their father, Alexander Rae Baldwin Jr., the Baldwin brothers are descended from the Mayflower passengers John Howland and Elizabeth Tilley, as well as from William Bradford through their maternal grandfather, Daniel LeRoy Martineau.
