Caroline Worrell, who married Henry Sloan, May 12, 1828, was born June 27, 1810, and died June 15, 1864, daughter of William and Margaret (Sullivan) Worrell, granddaughter of John Hawley and Mary (Neff) Worrell; great- granddaughter of Isaiah and Elizabeth (Harper) Worrell, great-great-grand- daughter of Isaac and Rebecca (Hawley) Worrell, great-great-great-grand- daughter of John Worrell, who came from Oare, Berkshire, England, in 1682, bringing a certificate from the Friends' Meeting there dated 5th Month (July) 16, 1682, which was read and accepted at Philadelphia Monthly Meeting. He was probably accompanied by his parents, Richard and Sarah Worrell, and his brother Richard Worrell, though each produced a separate certificate from the same meeting, that of Richard Sr. bearing date five days later than his son John's, and Richard Jr's being dated Ist month ( March) 17, 1682-83. Richard Worrell Sr. died July 10, 1688, and Sarah, his widow, twelve days later. The family settled at Frankford, Oxford township, Philadelphia county, and were members of Abington Friends Meeting. John Worrell married at a public meeting of Friends at Frankford, June 4, 1689, Judith Dunworth, and had ten children. He died in September, 1743. Isaac Worrell, third child of John and Judith, born August 21, 1693, died in January, 1739. He married Rebecca Hawley, and had three children-Isaac, Isaiah and Richard. Isaiah, the second son, lived to a ripe old age, dying August 26, 1818. He married, April 17, 1753, Elizabeth Harper, of a family still prominent in Abington township, who died April 25, 1809. She was a daughter of Robert Harper, who married, January 23, 1733, Sarah, daughter of John Buzby, who married, June 11, 1713, Elizabeth Holyday, at Abington Meeting, and died intestate in 1722. He was a son of William Buzby, who married at Abington Meeting, August II, 1685, Sarah Teary, a widow; and William was the second son of John and Mary Buzby, who came from "Milton, Parish of Skipton, in Old England," in the ship "Amity," which arrived at Upland, now Chester, June 3, 1682.
John Hawley Worrell, son of Isaiah and Elizabeth (Harper) Worrell, was born August 12, 1762, and died in 1835. He married Mary Neff, born 1760, died 1842, and they were the parents of William Worrell, a prominent business man of Philadelphia, and the grandparents of Caroline (Worrell) Sloan. Wil- liam Worrell was born November 24, 1783, and died July 7, 1854. He married Margaret Sullivan, daughter of Joshua Sullivan, of Frankford, born October 16, 1788, died June 19, 1856, and they had their city residence on Race street, Philadelphia, and their country residence at "Haddon Hall", Haddington, West Philadelphia.
Ananias Brooks, great-grandfather of Jeremiah Mayberry Brooks, came from the North of Ireland, and was of Scotch parentage. He and his wife Martha arrived in America in the first half of the eighteenth century from Belfast, Ire- land. Their son, Thomas Brooks, married, in 1753, Catherine Smith, of Dutch descent, who was born at sea in 1735, and died in 1831.

Mary Hudson; and granddaughter of John Head Sr., hatter, who came to Philadelphia from Bury St. Edwards, county Suffolk, England, and was a prominent business man of Philadelphia, until his death in 1754, by his wife Rebecca Mace.
Mary Hudson, first wife of John Head, the second, and mother of Elizabeth, above mentioned as the wife of Samuel Baker, was born in Philadelphia, No- vember 6, 1724, and married John Head. She was fourth daughter of Samuel and Mary ( Holton) Hudson, granddaughter of William and Mary (Richardson) Hudson, and great-granddaughter of William Hudson, of York, England, by his first wife Mary, maiden name unknown. This William Hudson was an early convert to the doctrine and faith of Friends, and was prosecuted in the Ecclesi- astic Court of York, II mo. 8, 1673, refusing to pay an assessment toward re- pairing a "Steeple House." He died at York, England, April 14, 1713. He was three times married, and had by his first wife five children-William, John, Mary, Samuel, and Timothy, the first and last of whom came to Philadelphia, the remaining three dying in England, unmarried.
William Hudson, son of William and Mary, of York, England, born there June 3, 1664, received from York Meeting of Friends a certificate to Philadel- phia bearing date April 3, 1686, and on the same date purchased jointly with one John Cornwell of York 500 acres of land to be laid out in Pennsylvania, which was laid out to them by warrant of survey dated August 11, 1686. Wil- liam Hudson, however, located in Philadelphia and erected a tannery on Dock Creek, in what was then known as "The Swamp," and also erected a fine brick house set well back from Chestnut street, near Third street, and opened what is still known as Hudson's Alley, for access to his tanyard. Here he lived until his death, December 16, 1742. He was a successful and prominent business man of Philadelphia, and soon became identified with public affairs. He was named in the city charter of 1701 as one of the Common Council; was elected to the Provincial Assembly, 1706; became an alderman and associate justice of the city courts in 1715, and mayor of the city in 1725. He was an elder of Philadelphia Monthly Meeting of Friends, and active and munificent in char- itable and philanthropic enterprises. He married (first) February 28, 1688-9, Mary Richardson, daughter of Samuel Richardson, a prominent merchant of Philadelphia, and member of Provincial Council, etc., who with his wife Eleanor had come to Philadelphia from Barbadoes. Mary was born in London, Eng- land, before the departure of her parents for Barbadoes, June 10, 1673. She died February 16, 1708-09, and he married (second) a year later, Hannah (Og- den) Barber, widow of Robert Barber, of Darby, who survived him.
Samuel Hudson, eldest son of William and Mary (Richardson) Hudson, was born on the plantation of his maternial grandfather, near Germantown, September 27, 1690. He became associated with his father in the tanning busi- ness; was elected to the Provincial Assembly in 1724, but his health failing, he started on an ocean voyage and was lost at sea in 1725. He married, 1715-16, Mary Holton, daughter of Arthur and Elizabeth (Guest) Holton, who married (second) in 1726, Joshua Emlen. Samuel and Mary (Holton) Hudson had four children-Elizabeth, married John Jones; William, died in infancy; Hannah, married Joseph Howell; and Mary, born November 6, 1724, married, April 15, 1746, John Head, above mentioned.

ond) November 20, 1759. Elizabeth Hastings. The Hudsons and Heads were possessed of large landed estates in Pennsylvania, and elsewhere and belonged to the aristocratic class of Philadelphia in the early colonial days. Elizabeth Head, daughter of John and Mary (Hudson) Head, born 1747, married (first) August 13, 1767, John Scattergood, and (second) in 1772, Samuel Baker Jr., son of Samuel and Elizabeth (Burroughs) Baker, of Makefield, Bucks county, grandson of Samuel and Sarah (Warder) Baker, of the same place, and great- grandson of Henry and Margaret (Hardman) Baker.
Henry Baker, who came to Pennsylvania with his wife and eight children from West Barby, Lancashire, England, was married as "Henry Baker, of New- town, County of Lancaster," to Margaret Hardman, of Aspull, in the same county, spinster, under the auspices of Hardshaw West Monthly Meeting, Oc- tober 6, 1667. They arrived in Philadelphia in the "Vine," of Liverpool, Sep- tember 17, 1684, and settled in Bucks county, where Henry Baker became one of the most prominent men of public affairs. He was a member of Provincial As- sembly in 1685-87-88-90-98; justice of the peace and of the Bucks county courts from 1689 to his death. He brought from Hardshaw Meeting, Lancashire, a certificate dated May 27, 1684, and was a prominent member and elder of Falls Monthly Meeting in Bucks county. His wife Margaret died and was buried at Falls, August 5, 1688, and he married (second) September 8, 1692, Mary Rad- cliffe, widow of James Radcliffe, the first settler in Wrightstown township, Bucks county. He had in all ten children, nine by the first wife, the youngest of whom was born in Bucks county, and one, a daughter, by Mary Radcliffe.
Samuel Baker, fifth child and eldest son of Henry and Margaret Hardman Baker, was born in West Darby, Lancashire, October 1, 1676. He came with his parents to Pennsylvania and lived and died in Bucks county, Pennsylvania, near what was long known as Baker's Ferry, the site of Washington's perilous and historic crossing of the Delaware on Christmas night, 1776. He was a large land- owner, and like his father prominent in public affairs; was many years a justice, first commissioned March 6, 1708-9; member of Provincial Assembly, 1710-II, and County Commissioner in 1722. He was also prominent in Falls Monthly Meeting of Friends, where he married, November 4, 1703, Mary, daughter of Willoughby Warder, with whom she had come from England about 1699. Willoughby Warder, who was a son of William Warder, of Nunwell, Isle of Wight, settled in Falls township, Bucks county, where he died in 1725. He was commissioned a justice of Bucks county March 6, 1708, March 3, 1719, December 30, 1715, and May 13, 1715. He married (second) Mary (Gibbs) Howell, a widow who survived him, but was not the mother of his children. Samuel Baker had ten children who lived to mature age and had left numerous descendants.
Samuel Baker, son of Samuel and Mary (Warder) Baker, born in Make- field, Bucks county, Pennsylvania, June 28, 1706, died there 1760; married in 1742, Elizabeth, daughter of John Burroughs, of Ewing township, Hunterdon county, New Jersey (who was sheriff of that county in 1745, and his wife Phebe Haines, another daughter, Mary Burroughs, married Henry Baker, brother of Samuel. Samuel and Elizabeth (Burroughs) Baker had issue: Henry, Hannah, Samuel and Joseph.
Samuel Baker, above mentioned, known as Samuel Baker Jr., was born in

Bucks county, January 27, 1748-9. His uncle, Joseph Baker, had removed to Philadelphia when a young man and married there, in 1749, Esther, daughter of John Head, the hatter, before mentioned, and his wife Rebecca Mace, and be- came associated with his father-in-law in the manufacture of hats, and appar- ently succeeded him in the business. Samuel Baker Jr. joined his uncle Joseph in Philadelphia when a lad and lived there many years. He returned to Bucks county later and died there 1820. He married, about 1772, Elizabeth (Head) Scattergood, daughter of John Head Jr. and Mary Hudson. They had two sons, Samuel and Henry, and two daughters, Margaret, wife of Thomas Betts, of Bucks county, and Elizabeth, wife of John Brooks, who was the eldest child.
At the death of Samuel Baker, second, in 1760, the 560 acres of land at Baker's Ferry (Washington's Crossing of 1776) which he inherited from his father, was directed to be sold by his executors, who were his brother Joseph Baker, of Philadelphia, and his father-in-law, John Burroughs. They in 1774 conveyed it to Samnel McConkey. Hence the ferry was known during the Rev- olution as "McConkey's Ferry", and was a place of much historic interest, Wash- ington and several of his generals having their headquarters within easy reach of it on the Pennsylvania side for some time prior to the successful attack on Trenton on Christmas night, 1776. McConkey sold the ferry and land in 1777 to Ben- jamin Taylor, and it is known to this day as Taylorsville, a bridge across the river within a few yards of the site of the historic crossing supplying the place of the ferry a century ago. This sale did not however sever the connection of the Baker family with the locality, as Benjamin Taylor in 1784 conveyed 103 acres of the homestead near the ferry to Joseph Baker, of New Jersey, son of Samuel and Elizabeth (Burroughs) Baker, and at the death of Joseph in 1827 it descended to the surviving children of his brother, Samuel Baker, third, viz: Henry Baker (who died the same year, leaving a widow, Mary B. Baker), Eliz- abeth, wife of John Brooks, above mentioned, and Margaret Head Baker, who had married Thomas Betts, of Makefield. The widow, Mary B. Baker, as sole legatee of her husband, petitioned the Orphans' Court of Bucks county, at Feb- ruary term, 1828, for partition of this real estate between herself and Mrs. Brooks and Mrs. Betts, and by subsequent proceedings it was adjudged to the widow Baker. Samuel Baker, fourth, another son of Samuel and Elizabeth (Head) Baker, died unmarried in 1810, leaving a will in which he mentioned his parents, his half-brother John Scattergood, his brothers Joseph and Henry, and his sisters Elizabeth Brooks and Margaret Head Baker, then unmarried. John Brooks, above mentioned, who married Elizabeth Baker in 1802, was teller and head bookkeeper of the Bank of North America in Philadelphia from 1807 to 1843.

As shown by the above sketch of their ancestors, paternal and maternal, the children of Samuel Babcock and Emma Brooks (Sloan) Crowell (q. v.), can trace their descent from at least ten members of Colonial Assembly in Pennsyl- vania and New Jersey, and as many Colonial Justices of the two provinces. In addition to this their New England ancestors rendered a like prominent service in their respective localities. The Babcocks held a high place in the public service, as did the Swifts and other New England ancestors.
Thomas Swift, the emigrant, (1600-1676) was prominent in the affairs of Dorchester, Massachusetts, and was quartermaster of a troop of horse, and

his son, Deacon Thomas Swift (1635-1718), was supervisor of highways, clerk of market, tithing man, assessor, etc., of Milton, Massachusetts; represented his district in the General Court of Massachusetts Bay Colony (the legislature of that day) ; was quartermaster of the Milton Troop of Horse, succeeding his father to that position, May 5, 1676, with the title and rank of lieutenant-major.
Colonel Samuel Swift (1683-1747), the next Swift ancestor of the Crowells was judge of the Court of Common Pleas of Norfolk county, Massachusetts; a representative in the General Court of the Province of Massachusetts; colonel of militia; selectman of Milton, Massachusetts, 1725-47, and filled numerous other local offices at Milton, frequently acting as moderator of town meetings, and was one of a committee to build the meeting house there in 1729.
Nathaniel Swift, son of Col. Samuel and Abigail (Rigby) Swift, (1719-67), was prominent in the local affairs of Milton, and his wife's grandfather, Robert Tucker, represented Dorchester, Massachusetts, in the General Court of Massa- chusetts Bay Colony, 1669-81. This ends the Swift ancestry of the Crowells, since it was a daughter of Nathaniel and Rebecca (Tucker) Swift who became the wife of Samuel Babcock, (1760-1813) the Revolutionary ancestor of the Crowells; later generations of the Swift family were prominent in the affairs of their country in various capacities. Brigadier General Joseph Gardiner Swift, U. S. A., for some time the superior officer of Major Samuel Babcock, graduated at West Point in 1802, became captain, 1806; major, 1808; lieutenant-colonel, 1812; colonel and chief engineer, July 31, 1812; brevet brigadier-general, Feb- ruary 10, 1814, for meritorious services; resigned 1818; died 1865. He was the author of the "Genealogy of the Descendants of Thomas Swift, 1600, 1676."
BABCOCK (BADCOCKE) FAMILY
The Babcock family of America is though to have been founded by David Badcocke, who was a member of the church of Dorchester, Massachusetts, at least as early as 1640. He is thought to have been the father of George and Robert Badcocke, of Dorchester, whose name appears on the records of the church there a few years later, as well as of James Babcock, later of Stoning- ton, Connecticut. It is known that George and Robert were brothers, and that James was related to them there is no doubt. The names of Robert, George and David are common among his descendants, and their connection with the Milton family is shown by the fact that two of the grandsons of James came to Milton for wives and intermarried with the same families there, as did the descendants of George and Robert. Both George and Robert Badcocke were landowners in that part of Dorchester set off as Milton in 1662, and were prominent in colonial affairs. Robert was rater for Dorchester in 1657, sup- ervisor in 1660, selectman for Milton, 1678-1691, and captain of its train band. He died November 12, 1694, and his widow, Joanna, died December 4, 1700, aged 71 years. They had sons : Samuel, Jonathan, James, Nathaniel, Caleb and Ebenezer.
GEORGE BADCOCKE, whose name appears on the records of Dorchester, (Mass.) church as early as 1652, located on land in that part of Dorchester which was incorporated into the town of Milton in 1662, and died there in 1672. He was supervisor of highways in Dorchester in 1657, and one of the first selectmen of Milton. His will dated, September 26, 1671, probated at Bos- ton, February 2, 1672, shows that he owned "vplands & meadows in Milton, fresh meadows in Dorchester, land lying on the horse necke at Dartmouth in Plymouth Patton" which he devises to his eldest son Benjamin; a "Mill vp att Dartmouth in Plymout Pattent, and the housing, and a halfe share of the land which doth belonge to it" which he devises to his son Return; mentions beside the two sons above mentioned, wife Mary; daughters Mary Ellean, Dorothy, Rachel, Leah; sons George, Enoch, and Joseph; the son Benjamin and daugh- ters Mary and Dorothy being of age, and the remainder of the children minors.
Of the above children, Mary married Daniel Ellen (or Allen) of Milton. Dorothy married, March 29, 1672, John Daniel, of Milton, who died Otcober 6, 1718. Return settled on the land devised to him at Dartmouth, and died there; he married Sarah Doneson, and had twelve children, some of whom probably migrated to Cape May county, New Jersey, where we find a Return Badcock in 1733, and several others of that surname later. A son George, born at Dor- chester, February 26, 1658, who died young, is the first of the children of George and Mary Badcocke of whom we find a birth record. Rachel born at Dorchester, March 8, 1660, married Peter White, of Milton, and died in 1732; he in 1737. Of Leah we have no record. George, second of the name, born at Milton, June 12, 1665, married and had issue. Samuel, born September 1668, died before his father. Joseph, the youngest child, was born May 13, 1670.

BENJAMIN BADCOCKE, eldest son and chief legatee of George Badcocke, of Milton, born at Dorchester, Massachusetts, about 1650, married, February II, 1674, Hannah, daughter of William Daniel, one of the first settlers of Milton. Benjamin died in the latter part of 1690, and his widow Hannah soon after. They resided on the paternal lands at Milton, where their seven children were born-Hannah, Benjamin, Patience, Mary, William, Ruhamah, and George. Of these at least three-Benjamin, Patience and Mary-died young and unmar- ried. Ruhamah married, April 4, 1706, Joseph Billy, of Dorchester. William was born 1684.
GEORGE BADCOCK, youngest child of Benjamin and Hannah (Daniel) Bad- cocke was born at Milton, Massachusetts, August 9, 1688, and lived and died there. He married, July 14, 1715, Hannah, daughter of John Daniel, of Milton, and died in Milton, March 18, 1734. They had ten children, three of whom died young and unmarried. Abigail, the second and eldest surviving daughter, born April 10, 1718, married Daniel Sumner, in 1745; Patience, born 1720, mar- ried, 1739, Benjamin Horton; Katharine, born 1725, married 1745, Increase Leadbetter; George, born December 3, 1727, died July 3, 1783, married Ruth Adams; John, mentioned below; of Benjamin, born 1729, and William, born 1733, we have no record.
JOHN BADCOCK, ninth child of George and Hannah (Daniel) Badcock, was born in Milton, Massachusetts, August 25, 1731, and married there, in 1752, Rachel Adams, of Milton. Little is known of them except that they had the following named children (name at this date usually spelled Badcock) :
Elisha Babcock, b. Aug. 10, 1753;
Lucretia Babcock, b. Aug. 13, 1755;
Mary Babcock, b. Aug. 20, 1757;
SAMUEL BABCOCK, b. Feb. 18, 1760, of whom presently ;
Abigail Babcock, b. Feb. 11, 1762;

SAMUEL BABCOCK, (or Badcock, we find his name spelled in both forms in contemporary records) second son and fourth child of John and Rachel (Adams) Badcock, was born at Milton, Massachusetts, February 18, 1760. The war for national independence opened when he was in his sixteenth year, and we find his name mentioned as one of the main guard at Prospect Hill under Colonel Loammi Baldwin, July 16, 1775; residence given as Milton. He also appears in the company returns of Captain Draper's company, Lieutenant Colonel Bond's 37th Massachusetts Regiment, late Gardner's, dated at Prospect Hill, October 7, 1775, residence, Milton. In connection with this service his signature as "Samuel Babcock" appears on an order for bounty coat or its equivalent in money, "due for eight months service, in 1775, in Captain Moses Draper's Co., Col. William Bond's Regiment," dated Prospect Hill, December 27, 1775. He again enlisted April 13, 1776, in Captain Josiah Vose's company, for sea-coast defense; and thirdly, August 14, 1777, in Captain John Bradley's Milton com- pany, in Col. Benjamin Gill's regiment, and marched to Vermont to join the northern army ; this term of service comprising 3 months 28 days, I day's travel included. In Clapp's "History of Dorchester," Samuel Babcock is mentioned as being a member of Captain Billings's company on the Lexington alarm. His
1008

granddaughters, Katharine F. Babcock and Mrs. Elizabeth Fleming, frequently related that their father had told them that his father, Samuel Babcock, partici- pated in the battle of Bunker Hill, and considering the fact that he lived so near Bunker Hill, and is shown by official records to have been at Prospect Hill and on the Lexington alarm, there is every reason to believe the tradition cor- rect.
Samuel Babcock again enlisted in the defence of his country's rights and lib- erties in the second war for independence, in Captain Rufus McIntyre's com- pany, Third United States Artillery, Colonel Alexander Macomb, and died in the service at French Mills, New York, November 23, 1813. To encourage en- listment in United States Service, when war with Great Britain was immi- nent, an Act of Congress of May 6, 1812, promised as a bounty to every recruit the grant of 160 acres of government land. In pursuance of this Act of Con- gress a warrant for 160 acres of land was issued to "Samuel Babcock, son, and other heirs of Samuel Babcock, deceased", soon after his decease, and mailed to his son Samuel Babcock, "in care of R. Vose, Esq., Walpole, Chester Co., N. H.", the date not being given. The son, Samuel Babcock, was then in the United States service in an engineer corps, and in the uncertainties of location probably directed that it be sent to his relative Mr. Vose to be forwarded. His mother and sisters then resided at Walpole, an adjoining village. This land warrant is still in the possession of Samuel Babcock .Crowell (q. v.), a grandson of Major Samuel Babcock, to whom it was issued, no survey ever having been made or patent issued.
Samuel Babcock was married, at Dorchester, Massachusetts, October 20, 1783, by Rev. Moses Everett, to Elizabeth Swift, of Dorchester, who was born June 25, 1761, at Dorchester, and died at the residence of her son-in-law, Asa Brigham, at Alexandria, Louisiana, September 9, 1819. She was a daughter of Nathaniel Swift, of Milton, Massachusetts, born September 25, 1719, died May 13, 1767; married, January 9, 1741-2, Rebecca Tucker, who died Septem- ber 6, 1793. The latter was a daughter of James and Rebecca (Tolman) Tuck- er, of Milton, and granddaughter of Robert Tucker, who was a resident of Weymouth, Massachusetts, as early as 1638; at Dorchester in 1662, which town he represented in the General Court, 1669-81.
Col. Samuel Swift, father of Nathaniel, was born at Milton, December 10, 1683, and died there October 13, 1747. He married, November 6, 1707, Ann Holman, born 1680, died May 14, 1762, daughter of Thomas Holman, of Mil- ton, born 1641, died August 1704, who married, February 19, 1667, Abigail Rig- by, (died March I, 1702-3), daughter of John Rigby, of Dorchester. John Hol- man, father of Thomas, was a selectman of Dorchester in 1636, and died there in 1652.
