(I) James Babcock was born in England, in 1612, probably in county Essex, and died June 12. 1679.

He had a grant of land; was admitted a freeman July 10, 1648 : was juryman several times, and assessor in 1650; was on a com- mittee to treat with the Indians and on other important committees for the town, and was a member of the general court in 1657-58-59. He was on a committee to lay out highways and settle boundary lines in 1661. He re- moved to Westerly, Rhode Island, in March, 1662, and had lot 52 in the new town. His name appears on a petition to the general court for protection from the men of South- ertown, Connecticut, an adjoining town. He was in constant trouble with the Pequot In- dians, and was brought into court on a charge of driving them off their planting ground. In 1678 he was baptized by Elder William His- cox, and united with the Seventh Day Bap- tist Church of Newport and Westerly. He made a nuncupative will to his sons John and Job. June 12, 1679, and they appeared before the governor of Rhode Island. September 17. 1679. and testified to the truth of the will.

(II ) John, second son of James and Sarah Babcock, was born 1644, in Portsmouth, and died at Westerly, Rhode Island, 1685. Tra- dition says that he and his wife eloped and settled upon the east bank of the Pawcatuck river, but this is not reliable ; in fact, is known to be untrue. He was among the early set- tlers of Westerly, when about eighteen years old. He received the twenty-seventh lot. on the banks of the Pawcatuck, near what is now Avondale, Rhode Island. It is said that he was in the Great Swamp fight in King Philip's war, and he received land for his services in the war from the colony of Connecticut. His name appears in the Stonington militia. He was admitted a freeman of Connecticut in 1676, when that state claimed the town of
Westerly, and was deputy to the general court in 1682-84. He died intestate, and his estate was disposed of by the town council, June 25, 1685.

He was a minor in 1698, when he chose his brother as his guardian. In 1715 he owned one hundred and thirty acres of land in Westerly, which he mortgaged for a loan of fioo granted by the colony without interest. He also owned land in Voluntown, which he inherited from his father and sold in 1749. He was made a freeman May 1, 1716, and was deputy to the general court in 1730-34-37-38-52. He is frequently referred to in the records as Col- onel Oliver. He was captain in 1735, when he was a member of a commission to create a new harbor in Westerly by turning the river into the largest salt water pond. This was probably found impracticable, as the work was never done. In the same year he was on a committee to lay out twenty acres on which to build a meeting house for the Indians. He was also on a committee to provide a bridge over the Pawcatuck river. In 1757 the town of Hopkinton was set off from Westerly, and Colonel Babcock's home was in the latter town.
