"Rising from a humble background, '''Abraham Baldwin''' achieved success as minister, educator, lawyer, and politician. He was a [[Connecticut]] Yankee transplanted to [[Georgia]] who served his adopted State in many capacities. He helped found the college that was the forerunner of the University of Georgia and sat in the U.S. House of Representatives and the Senate for almost two decades. During the Convention, he supported the small States on the crucial vote in the representation clash and sat on the committee on postponed matters." <ref>http://www.nps.gov/history/history/online_books/constitution/bio1.htm</ref>

"Baldwin was born at Guilford, Conn., in 1754, the second son of a blacksmith who fathered 12 children by 2 wives. Besides Abraham, several of the family attained distinction. His sister Ruth married the poet and diplomat Joel Barlow, and his half-brother Henry attained the position of justice of the U.S. Supreme Court. Their ambitious father went heavily into debt to educate his children.
