Baldwyn is an outgrowth of the village of Carrollville : when the Mobile and Ohio Railroad was being built during the years of 1848 to 1861 , it missed Carrollville by one and one-half miles and the citizens moved to the new town of Baldwyn , which was named for the civil engineer who surveyed the road through the town . Tishomingo , chief of the Chickasaw , lived at old Carrollville but died at Little Rock , Arkansas , in 1839 of smallpox while being moved west with his tribe
