Information from Jean Reid, 106 Beal's Court, Tama, Iowa 52339
Benjamin-7 Babcock was born, probably at Stonington, Connecticut. Heis buried in the Babcock Family Cemetery on Babcock Hill. They resided atBridgewater, Suquehanna Co., Pennsylvania, until 1818, when they removedto what is now known as Babcock Hill.
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.

THE BABCOCK GENEALOGY, by Stephen Babcock, page 60.
Benjamin-6 Babcock, son of Colonel Nathan Babcock and Deborah)Stafford) Babcock, was born at Westerly, RI. He married Desire Billingsof Stonington, Connecticut, Feb. 4, 1779. In 1801 they emigrated toPennsylvania. They settled at or near Bridgewater, Susquahanna County,Pennsylvania, for it was here that one of their sons, Benjamin (2nd)resided. Susquehanna County, Penn., which was then a part of LuzerneCounty, was claimed by Connecticut for many years. References toLegistation affecting the "Connecticut claimants" are found in thelegislative manuals of the Pennsylvania legislature during years between1780 and 1810.
Inasmuch as Benjamin Babcock (1st) married Desire Billings ofStonington, Conn., there seems a possibility that he became a resident ofConnecticut following his marriage. If this is true then it seemscreditable that he may have been given a grant of this land by thatstate. In any event it is known that he emigrated to Pennsylvania. Hisson, Benjamin Babcock (2nd) resided at Bridgewater, Susquahanna County,Penn. until 1818. During that year he removed to what is now known asBabcock Hill, near the village of Windham, Penn. (Bradford County). Therecords of his other children have not been obtained to date of thiswriting.
Benjamin Babcock, Sr., served as a private in Captain SquireMillard's company of Colonel Waterman's regiment from Jan. 9, 1777 toFeb. 8, 1777; later served in the Pawtuxet Rangers. His father, ColonelNathan Babcock, was commander of the Kings County regiment of militia in1761 and probably commanded a sort of home guard during the Revolution,as the records show that artillery was stateioned on his land by order ofthe colonial officials.
Records show that Benjamin Babcock, Sr. purchased land in ForestLake (Bridgewater) Township in Susquehanna County, Penn. in 1810 fromRobert H. Rose, et al. And that Benjamin Babcock, Jr. purchased land inWindham Township (Bradford County, Penn.) in 1828 from Robert H. Rose; in1841 and 1847 from Charles S. Gorse, in 1847 from Caleb Carmalt; and in1854 from Uriah Wright.

In 1801, Benjamin Babcock came, and was the original settler of whathas since been known as "the Brock farm". In the spring of 1832, whileattending to his cattle, he was injured in the head by one of them, anddied from the effects. He had been a Revolationary soldier, and waseighty-two years old.

Not far from this time Frederick Brock, a German, located at"Brockville," five miles from Montrose, on the farm cleared by BenjaminBabcock.
From an e-mail from Gordon Clark at clark626@epix.net
Benjamin Babcock has no stone at all and we have found a rundown,vandalized, neglected former Cemetery on the property, but only thestones of several of the Brock Family are evident. The Brock familypurchased the Babcock property after the demise of Benjamin Babcock.
This cemetery and the Babcock property used to be on a road that ranthrough that area, but the road was abandoned by the township about1960-65 and you would not know that there ever was a road there.
My plan is to try to get another active cemetery in the area toplace the stone as a memorial site, since his remains are not identifedand the present site is unmaintainable, being approximantly a mile or sofrom the nearest road.
Death date from Val Van Zee at VaVZ@aol.com
After reading what you have on your web page about Benjamin I can addnothing except his date of death 6 Mar 1832, my records say atBridgewater. We appear to have the same source for the other data. I donot have a date of death for his wife, Desire, but it is said that shealso died at Bridgewater.

Portrait and Biographical Album of Rock County Wisconsin,1889, page 755.
DANIEL C. BABCOCK, M. D., deceased, who for many years was aprominent physician of RockCounty, was born in Batavia, N.Y.,April 2, 1818, and died at San Jose, Cal., on the 19th day ofJanuary, 1875. He was a son of Elder Daniel and Lois (POTTER)BABCOCK. His father, who was born in 1787, was a minister ofthe Seventh Day Baptist Church, and died Oct. 26, 1868, at theripe old age of eighty-two years, surviving his wife who died inAugust, 1846.
After attaining to years of maturity, our subject was married onthe 1st day of June, 1843, to Miss Amorilla COLLINS, a daughterof Dr. John B. and Catherine (BURDICK) COLLINS. Her father wasa celebrated physician in Allegany County, N.Y., and his deathoccurred Aug. 27, 1851, his wife departing this life in NewYork, April 14, 1860. Their family numbered six children ofwhom Mrs. Babcock is the eldest; John, the second in orderofbirth, is living in Georgia; Amos and Lorenzo, are residents ofAlfred, N.Y.;Teresa married Dr. William Henry OVERT, ofClintonville, Waupaca Co., Wis., andWilliam, who resides inMissouri.
Dr. BABCOCK received his literary education at Alfred CentreN.Y., and then entered the Medical College of Castleton, Vt.,from which he later graduated. He then attended a course oflectures in New York City for about a year, graduating from theinstitution there in the class of 1842, and the following year,was above stated, as united in marriage. Shortly afterward theyoung couple came to Johnstown, Rock County, settling on a farmnear that place, where Dr. Babcock engaged in practice, and alsodevoted his attentionto agricultural pursuits in connectionwith his father. After a few years had passed, he went toMilton, where he opened an office and established one of thelargest and best practices in this part of the country.Whatever the weather, whether in winter's cold or summer's heat,or in the storms which visit us at all seasons, he responded tothe call from the sick and suffering ones, and would rideformiles to visit his patients, often going without food for anentire day. Inconsequence of his exposure and fasting,consumption slowly fastened upon his frame, but for seven yearshe lingered on, during which time he could not ride out, but forsome time would make calls in the town as he considered theexercise beneficial. At length, with the hope of a partial ifnot total recovery, he sought the warm climate of California,where he passed away Jan. 19, 1875.
Dr. BABCOCK was a member of the Seventh Day Baptist Church, andtook a deep interest inits advancement, and in the promotion ofany enterprise for the public welfare.He was an ardentsupporter of the Republican party, earnestly advocating itsprinciples, and while residing in Johnstown was twice elected tothe Legislature, serving in the General Assemblies of 1847 and1848. His public duties were discharged with promptness andability, and to the entire satisfaction of his constituents,while even his political opponents could find no fault in hispolicy. Hewas a man of much more than ordinary ability, andhis kindly manner in the sickroom won all hearts. His deathwas mourned not only by his immediate family, but the entirecommunity sorrowed as for a kind friend and brother, and thecountylost one of its prominent and honored citizens.
A widow and daughter, the onlychild of their union, mourn thedeath of Dr. BABCOCK. His wife who is a most estimable lady, isstill residing in Milton, and is | Daniel Clark BABCOCK
