This was virginforest land at the time, 1818, covered with a heavy growth of pine,hemlock, and other trees. With the aid of his sons, Benjamin cleared thisland, or portions thereof, building a house and barn of logs. He laterconstructed a primitave saw mill, located on the creek at the foot ofBabcock Hill toward the village of Cadis. Water power was used to operatean old-fashioned "beam" saw, by means of which the heavy trees werefashioned into sills, joists, planking, and boards for the constructionof new and better buildings. The old Babcock homestead and at least oneof the old barns, constructed of timber of this primitive mill, are stillstanding.
