Desire married Benjamin BABCOCK Sr.¹, son of Nathan BABCOCK and Deborah STAFFORD, on 4 Feb 1779 in Congregational Church of Preston, Preston, New London Co., Connecticut, by Rev. Asher Rosseter. Benjamin was born² 7 Apr 1751 in Westerly, Kings Co., Rhode Island. He died 6 Mar 1832 in Forest Lake Twp., Susquehanna Co., Pennsylvania and was buried in Babcock Farm Cemetery, Forest Lake Twp., Susquehanna Co., Pennsylvania.

    3-12 BABCOCK, Benjamin, of Nathan and Deborah, born April 7, 1751.

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 Billings of Stonington, Connecticut, Feb. 4, 1779. In 1801 they emigrated to Pennsylvania. 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 Luzerne County, was claimed by Connecticut for many years. References to Legistation affecting the "Connecticut claimants" are found in the legislative manuals of the Pennsylvania legislature during years between 1780 and 1810.
    Inasmuch as Benjamin Babcock (1st) married Desire Billings of Stonington, Conn., there seems a possibility that he became a resident of Connecticut following his marriage. If this is true then it seems creditable that he may have been given a grant of this land by that state. In any event it is known that he emigrated to Pennsylvania. His son, Benjamin Babcock (2nd) resided at Bridgewater, Susquahanna County, Penn. until 1818. During that year he removed to what is now known as Babcock Hill, near the village of Windham, Penn. (Bradford County). The records of his other children have not been obtained to date of this writing.
    Benjamin Babcock, Sr., served as a private in Captain Squire Millard's company of Colonel Waterman's regiment from Jan. 9, 1777 to Feb. 8, 1777; later served in the Pawtuxet Rangers. His father, Colonel Nathan Babcock, was commander of the Kings County regiment of militia in 1761 and probably commanded a sort of home guard during the Revolution, as the records show that artillery was stateioned on his land by order of the colonial officials.
    Records show that Benjamin Babcock, Sr. purchased land in Forest Lake (Bridgewater) Township in Susquehanna County, Penn. in 1810 from Robert H. Rose, et al. And that Benjamin Babcock, Jr. purchased land in Windham Township (Bradford County, Penn.) in 1828 from Robert H. Rose; in 1841 and 1847 from Charles S. Gorse, in 1847 from Caleb Carmalt; and in 1854 from Uriah Wright.

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

    Not far from this time Frederick Brock, a German, located at "Brockville," five miles from Montrose, on the farm cleared by Benjamin Babcock.

From an e-mail from Gordon Clark at [email protected]
    Benjamin Babcock has no stone at all and we have found a rundown, vandalized, neglected former Cemetery on the property, but only the stones of several of the Brock Family are evident. The Brock family purchased the Babcock property after the demise of Benjamin Babcock.
    This cemetery and the Babcock property used to be on a road that ran through that area, but the road was abandoned by the township about 1960-65 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 to place the stone as a memorial site, since his remains are not identifed and the present site is unmaintainable, being approximantly a mile or so from the nearest road.

Death date from Val Van Zee at [email protected]
    After reading what you have on your web page about Benjamin I can add nothing except his date of death 6 Mar 1832, my records say at Bridgewater. We appear to have the same source for the other data. I do not have a date of death for his wife, Desire, but it is said that she also died at Bridgewater.

THE GROTON AVERY CLAN, Vol. I, by Elroy McKendree Avery and Catherine Hitchcock (Tilden) Avery, Cleveland, 1912. Found in the DAR Library, Washington DC. Page 325.
John Avery served as corporal in Ebenezer Leech's co., 1755; in Capt. Billing's co., as sergeant, 1757 (French and Indian War Rolls.). He was undoubtedly in the Revolution. One of his letters, dated Aug. 12, 1775, and now in the possession of a descendant, states that Gov. Turnbull had received work from Gen. Washington to stop the troops and recruiting officers on the road and that he, John Avery, feared that he would have to disband the company that he had raised; that he had written to Col. Sargeant on the matter; that he was ready to join the regiment or go to New London. A reference to the records shows that such an order was given, Aug. 9, 1775 (Harriet L. Eames, Bridgeport.).

John married Mehitabel BUELL, daughter of Lieut. Abel BUELL and Mehitabel DEWEY, about 1752. Mehitabel was born 8 May 1735 in Lebanon, New London Co., Connecticut.
