Elihu W. (Elihu Whittlesey) Baldwin

1789–1840

Best remembered today through a memoir published after his death, this early 19th-century minister wrote religious work marked by earnest, practical devotion. His surviving record is slim, which gives his story a quiet, historical curiosity.

About the author

Elihu W. Baldwin, fully listed in library and catalog records as Elihu Whittlesey Baldwin (1789–1840), was an American religious writer and minister from the early 19th century. Modern bibliographic sources consistently identify him by that full name and date range.

His name is most clearly preserved through Patient continuance in well-doing: a memoir of Elihu W. Baldwin, along with catalog listings that connect him to religious publishing of the period. Project Gutenberg also lists him as Elihu W. (Elihu Whittlesey) Baldwin and attributes to him a contribution to The National Preacher from 1827.

Because readily available biographical information is limited, only a few personal details can be confirmed with confidence from the sources found here. Still, the surviving record suggests a figure remembered less for fame than for the moral and devotional impression he left on his contemporaries.
