My GGrandfather, Samuel Babcock lived there. These famlies as I've tracked them seem to move together. The Averys, Halls, Wilcox's, Crandalls and some other families all seem to have migrated from RI and CT together to NY, across NY and then into the West. NY was wilderness when they started settling there. Laurien Babcock Fan
