3939. Benjamin BABCOCK Jr. (Desire BILLINGS , Thankful DENISON , Mary AVERY , John , James , Christopher ) was born 22 Apr 1782 in Stonington, New London Co., Connecticut. He died 25 Jan 1857 in Windham, Bradford Co., Pennsylvania and was buried in Babcock Hill Cemetery, Windham, Bradford Co., Pennsylvania.

Information from Jean Reid, 106 Beal's Court, Tama, Iowa 52339
    Benjamin-7 Babcock was born, probably at Stonington, Connecticut. He is buried in the Babcock Family Cemetery on Babcock Hill. They resided at Bridgewater, Suquehanna Co., Pennsylvania, until 1818, when they removed to what is now known as Babcock Hill.
    Benjamin Babcock (2nd) settled on a tract of land, consisting of several hundred acres (believed 640) on Babcock Hill. This was virgin forest land at the time, 1818, covered with a heavy growth of pine, hemlock, and other trees. With the aid of his sons, Benjamin cleared this land, or portions thereof, building a house and barn of logs. He later constructed a primitave saw mill, located on the creek at the foot of Babcock Hill toward the village of Cadis. Water power was used to operate an old-fashioned "beam" saw, by means of which the heavy trees were fashioned into sills, joists, planking, and boards for the construction of new and better buildings. The old Babcock homestead and at least one of the old barns, constructed of timber of this primitive mill, are still standing.
    Upon the death of Benjamin Babcock the land was apportioned among his children. William Dennison Babcock, the oldest son received a grant of land consisting of over 200 acres, located about one half mile north of the homestead farm. The latter, consisting of 306 acres, was left to the other children who had remained at the home. Harriet N. Babcock had married Alexander LaDow and had removed to Ohio. Hellen M. Babcock died in 1843, while Caroline Joshan Babcock and Joanah Babcock died young. So the homestead farm was left to John Bannister Gibson Babcock (1st), Valeria Ann Babcock, and Andrew Jackson Babcock. The Babcock family burying ground is the only portion of the original estate in which the title still remains in the Babcock family as a whole. The old estate and burying ground are located about 10 miles south of Owego, New York, and about 1.5 miles north of Windham, Pennsylvania.

    The compiler remembers well, in the spring of 1848, Mrs. Brown's patience in suffering, when she quoted from Job, "All the days of my appointed time will I wait till my change come." This hightly esteemed and beloved wife and mother was a Christian woman, a loving friend and neighbor, whose voice was often heard in the Old Miner Meeting-house before 1845, when, in the summer of that year, it was torn down and a new house erected on the same lot. The old house was the scene of many revivals and large gatherings to the church, in which this good woman, a saint of God, by her spiritual gifts, had an active part. The homestead, beautiful for situation, should be rebuilt, and the grandchildren come back from the cold Northwest and make glad these hills and valleys as in days gone by.
