I added an infobox before the reference room closed, so I can't confirm the precise dates, etc. I did a little cleanup too in the main library, but certain needed resources are not available online (or only online at a dedicated terminal in that closed room). I don't know when or if I'll have time to finish it-especially since I originally planned to start a stub class article today. Jweaver28 ( talk) 22:55, 19 January 2017 (UTC) reply

Golly, I didn't realize how long ago I edited this when fixing a link in another article. Turns out Joseph A. Waddell (who served alongside him in the House of Delegates for a short time), was a protege or fan and included a brief bio of J.B. Baldwin in his Annals that I looked at yesterday afternoon. However, again I'm not in a library so can't check either that volume or Baldwin's slaveholding, info that I've been adding to various articles in the last year or so.
