Benjamin Babcock (2nd) settled on a tract of land, consisting ofseveral hundred acres (believed 640) on Babcock Hill. 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.
Upon the death of Benjamin Babcock the land was apportioned amonghis children. William Dennison Babcock, the oldest son received a grantof land consisting of over 200 acres, located about one half mile northof the homestead farm. The latter, consisting of 306 acres, was left tothe other children who had remained at the home. Harriet N. Babcock hadmarried Alexander LaDow and had removed to Ohio. Hellen M. Babcock diedin 1843, while Caroline Joshan Babcock and Joanah Babcock died young. Sothe homestead farm was left to John Bannister Gibson Babcock (1st),Valeria Ann Babcock, and Andrew Jackson Babcock. The Babcock familyburying ground is the only portion of the original estate in which thetitle still remains in the Babcock family as a whole. The old estate andburying ground are located about 10 miles south of Owego, New York, andabout 1.5 miles north of Windham, Pennsylvania.
