THE BABCOCK GENEALOGY, by Stephen  Babcock, page 1 thru 7.
    James-1 Babcock, born 1612, probably in Essex County, England; died June 12, 1679; m. (1) Sarah, who died 1665 or later; m. (2) 1669 (?) Elizabeth; she m. (2) Sept. 22, 1679, William Johnson and settled in Stonington, Conn.
    A myth often repeated and published by writers, who probably believed it true, states that James came to his country in the ship Anne, etc. From the Early Records of the Town of Portsmouth, edited by State Librarian, under direction of the Rhode Island Legislature, published 1901, and from Colonial Records of Rhode Island, the account of James Badcock's from twenty years in Rhode Island, was copied. His residence for that period was in Portsmouth, and the records of that town meeting, namely, Badcock, Badcooke, Badcocke, and Badcook.
    For the first forty years the surname of James and his sons was usually written Badcock. In the Probate records of John Badcock's estate the name is spelled Babcock, and at the time that spelling seems to have been adopted by the family.
    James Badcock was admitted an inhabitant of the "towne" of Portsmouth Feb. 25, 1642. At that time no one was allowed to "build or plant" without first having been voted at town meeting an inhabitant. At  a town meeting held Oct. 5, 1642, James Badcock and Richard Moris were ordered "to look up all the armes in the Towne within the month above writ," and "to mend any which were defective for use." Owners were to forfeit five shillings if they failed to bring the arms in time. At the same meeting ten acres of land were ordered to be "laide our to James Badcock at the first brooke, next the footpath eastward." The land is described as 'lying Toward the head of said brooke." (C.R. of RI)
    About this time there must have been a threatening of war in the air, as every man was ordered to have "four pounds of shot and two pounds of powder lying by him in readiness by the 24th of this month, and to be in readiness to assemble at the beat of the drum". James Badcock was made a freeman July 10, 1648, and was appointed a member of a large committee "for the tryall of the general officers". He was chosen a juryman on several occasions and as an assessor in 1650. In 1650 he was again directed to mend all firearms in the community.
    In 1656 James Badcock and seven others were "appointed to go over to the mayne to treat with the Indian Sachems to inform them of the mynd of the tiwne, that they come not upon the Island but according to order given." He was appointed one of a committee to apportion land in 1657 and was a member of the General Court of Commissioners of Rhode Island for Portsmouth in 1657, 1658, and 1659. In 1661 he was appointed with others ot lay out highways and settle disputed land boundaries.
    In 1660 a tract of land, estimated to be twenty miles by ten miles, known as Misquamicut, afterward Westerly, was purchased from the Indian chief Sosoa by a company organized at Newport, RI. In September, 1661, the purchasers visited Misquamicut and a certain part of the tract was apportioned by lot. The number of James Badcock's lot was 52. The following March, 1662, the company made their first permanent settlement at Misquamicut (Westerly). The company named James Badcock and four others to manage their affairs at Misquamicut. He took a prominent part in a number of disputes caused by Connecticut's claim to the terriory in and about Westerly, RI, and by Indians' claims.
    In 1665 James sold his dwelling house, barn, orchard, etc., in Portsmouth to Thomas Fish for fifty pounds. Westerly was incorporated May, 1669, at which time there were twenty-four freemen in the town, four of whom were Badcocks. James and his three sons, James, John and Job. Westerly then comprised the present towns of Westerly, Charlestown, Hopkinton, and Richmond.
    James in his fifty-ninth year, 1678, was baptized by Elder William Hiscox and untied with the Seventh Day Baptist church of newport and Westerly. In his will he bequeathed all his housing and lands to his son Joseph and the remainder of his estate to his wife, Elizabeth.
    These glimpses of an interesting life show that James Badcock (Babock), Sr. was a man of sterling integrity and of strong convinctions. He was respected by his neighbors, honored and trusted as a citizen, and ready to serve the community in whatever capacity he was appointed.

4022. Samuel HUBBARD was born 1610 in Mendleshem, Suffolk, England. He died 1688/1692 in Newport, Newport Co., Rhode Island. Samuel married Tasy COOPER on 4 Jan 1636 in Windsor, Hartford Co., Connecticut. [Parents]

SWAMP YANKEE, by James Allyn, page 9.
    Samuel was only twenty-five when he came to Wethersfield. On the trek to the river he met Tacy Cooper from Dorchester. He afterwards used to tell that it was the only bright spot in the whole undertaking. They were married soon after. She was twenty-seven.
    The Hubbards' troubles had not ended at Springfield. As an aftermath of the Pequot War, the colonies of MA Bay, Plymout6h, CT and New Haven joined together to form the New England Confederancy. As part of the agreement, the Bay Colony boundary was extended west across the river for an indefinite distance, and beyond any doubt including Springfield. That left the Hubbards with its juriediction once more. As a protest they became Baptists. The next year the Bay Colony decreed that all Baptists be banished from the colony. Again the Hubbards moved, this time down to Fairfield. In 1647 CT itself banned the Baptists. Hubbard was threatened with imprisonment in Hartford, so the next year they moved to Newport, near Roger Williams' settlement in Providence. Rhode Island became, and was to remain for many years the last refuge of freedom loving people.

ELLIOT-ELLIOTT 1625-1976, By Sara Jane Beamish. 929.273 EL57a, Found at the Joseph Smith Library, Salt Lake City, UT, page 1.
  In PIONEERS OF MASSACHUSETTS, Pope said, "Although the family story is that Dr. Sam Married Hopestill Elliot, that if that were true she must have been a widow for the truth was that he married Hopestill Holly, daughter of Joseph Holly. A complete list of children born to Hopestill Holly was given.
    Samuel was the first male Worden born in America. He was a large landowner, eminent physician and bought land in the Pettequanscut Purchase in Rhode Island. He gave his name to Worden Pond and gave by will a graveyard for use of the Worden race in perpetuity.

      While it is true that a Samuel Worden married Mehitable Hinkley, it was not “our”
Dr. Samuel.  Dr. Samuel definitely married Hopestill Holley before May 1665, when
Hopestill’s stepfather paid the children of Joseph Holley, Sr. the money due from their
father’s estate. Hopestill, ”wife of Samuel Worden” was one of them.  They were still
married when she died September 13, 1715.  In the Norwich Ct. Town clerk's Office is
found; “ It was to me that woeful day in which my dear and tender and loving wife
departed this life and was buried on ye 15th”

4046. Thomas HAZARD was born 1610 in , Dorsetshire, England. He died 1680 in Portsmouth, Newport Co., Rhode Island. Thomas married Martha POTTER before 1635 in England. [Parents]

THE HAZARD FAMILY OF RHODE ISLAND, by Caroline Robinson, page 1 & 2.
    m. 1st Martha, who died in 1669.
    m. 2nd Martha, widow of Thomas Sheirff, she died in 1691.
    His name is first found in Boston MA in 1635. In 1638 he was admitted freeman of Portsmouth, RI. In 1639, he and eight others signed the the following contract,preparatory of the settlement of Newport, RI.
    The founders and first officers of the town of Newport were William Coddington, Judge; Nicholas Easton, John Coggeshall, William Brenton, John Clarke, Jeremy Clark, Thomas Hazard, and Henry Bull, Elders; William Dyer, Clerk.
    Sept. 2, 1639 he was admitted freemen of Newport, and 1640, March 12, he was appointed a member of the General Court of Elections.
    In the early history of the family it was almost an exception to find a Hazard who did not marry a cousin, and it is a curious fact that the lines in which these marriages were the most frequent, were often marked by the strongest men and women, both mentally and physically.
    Thomas R. Hazard, in his "Recollections of Olden Times", has given an account of the family that goes back, about 1060, on the borders of Switzerland. From the Duke de Charante he has given an interesting account of the changes in the name, until towards the close of the eighteenth century, when it was written Hazard.

Info from: Bertie Hinman Hoch, 55 Towne House Lane, Corpus Chirstie, TX 78412 DIRECTORY OF HEADS OF N.E. FAMILIES, "he was a ship carpenter, on record at Boston 1635, freeman 1636: removed in a few years to RI; signed the Covenant of Cities 1639; was at Newtown, L.I. 1656. He died 1669."
    His parents were William HASSARD and Ellinor SACHERVELL, and her father was Henry SACHERVELL, Esq.

RHODE ISLAND ROOTS, June 1986, by Mildred Mosher Chamberlain, C.G.
    In 1656 he was of Newtown Long Island for a short time being back in Portsmouth in 1658.

Pierce, town clerk of North Kingstown, which names only three children: Hannah who married Stephen Wilcox, Martha who married Ichabod Potter and Robert, no wife listed, who was four years old when he came to Portsmouth.) An article in Vol. 1, on page 289, says Thomas Hazard signed the Newport Compact, which was drawn up after the Portsmouth Compact of 7 March 1637/38, by men in disagreement with the latter compact.

LITTLE COMPTON FAMILIES, pub. by Little Compton Historical Society from Records compiled by Benjamin Franklin Wilbour, 1967.
    "John Peckham no doubt came to Boston with Sir Henry Van in 1634 and he probably met there Mary Clarke who accompanied her brother John Clarke to Boston about the time. The acquaintance resulted in marriage of which no record can be found. He probably was one of the party called the Ann Hutchinson party, who founded a settlement on the north end of Rhode Island, which became the town of Portsmouth. In 1640 the bounds of his land were established."
    On 20 May 1638 his name appeared on the list as one of those admitted as an inhabitant of Portsmouth. He became a freeman in 1641. In 1648 his second wife Eleanor was baptised.
    His residence was in that part of Newport which is now Middletown, and a stone marker J. P. is supposed to mark his grave.
