The Baldwin family is an American family of professional performers, including the four brothers Alec, Daniel, William, and Stephen.
The Baldwin family’s patrilineal line traces to a Richard “Rich” Baldwin, who lived in England, c. 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. [1] The four brothers are therefore the 13th generation of their family to be born in North America. [2]
Actors Adam Baldwin, A. Michael Baldwin, and voice actor Greg Baldwin are not related to the family.
