: This document is repetitious, somewhat, but comes from a different source.
George Babcock and his wife, Sarah, must have been among the
very early
settlers in Hopewell. According to Mrs. Fred Benham, the druggist's
wife in
Canandaigua(she was Mary Babcock; the George
Babcock home was on Sect. 47 but across from the Cemetery. He may have
built
that house for it is old. Mrs. Benham was a great-grand-daughter of
George. She
told me that the farm
extended across the road originally, and that George Babcock gave that
part of
his farm for the church and cemetery. I think that if we had the 1st
clerk's
book we would find George Babcock and his family among the charter
members of
that First Presbyterian Church of Hopewell. He was always called Deacon
George.
They came from Stonington, Conn. and it seems
that most of their
children were born there. Lemuel,1772-1830; Williarn; Susannah,
l777-1856;
George; Oliver, 1794-1884; and two other daughters.
Lemuel Babcock, B-in Stonington June 10,1772,
married Lucy Ann Sawyer of
Partridgeville,
William Babcock lived on the cross road
curving around off the turnpike
to the Hopewell Center Rd. and
beyond the
Gheen place. He probably built that house, on the south side of the
road. His
wife was Julia and they had 15 children. Three of them are buried in
the old
cemetery. About 1836 they moved to
Michigan.
Susannah Babcock married Daniel Gates,
Jr.(Captain) He died in 1812 at
the age of 41. She later married
Dr.
Augustus Torry. 1778-1858.
Oliver Babcock, B-Mch.14, 1794,
D-Jan.24,1884. M-Hannah Levalley, dau.
of Holden Levalley (See
Richard Leva1ley,
Cem.Lot 3l) B-l794-D-l853. M-Feb. 15,1818.Their children (1) Pliny
1819-1858.
M-Frances Averill in 1850. They moved on to Michigan. (2) Charles
Thomas who
M-Nancy Wier. Their dau. was Mary Babcock Benham. She had a brother
Frank
Babcock. (3)Emma Olivia Babcock 1837. Then there were 4 more; Holden,
Mary,
Harriet and Hannah, all of these died young and are buried on Lot 21.
I do not have the names of the two other
daughters of Deacon George
Babcock, but one married Major
Frederick
Miller and they went to live near Buffalo. The other girl married
--Follett.
Deacon George Babcock was a soldier in the
Revolutionary Army, and the
marker at his grave was placed
there by
the S.A.R. of Rochester, N.Y. with a service attended by quite a
number from
Rochester and Canandaigua. I think a notice of the event is with the
Cem.
papers.
I am not sure but that Mrs. Tuttle, Ruth Tuttle1s mother, was a daughter of Jonas Bennett.
I believe that Thomas H. Bennett, an attorney in Canandaigua, was son of Jonas Bennett. Martha and Tim Bennett, girls in high school with me , were granddaught6rs. I may not have the relationship quite right, but these all belonged to this Jonas and Thomas Bennett family.

David W. Beech later bought a farm on Sect. 40 and may have built the house still there, and was later known as the Win Cone place.
Aunt Lucy Depew was for many years a widow and lived on the place north of the railroad, Sect. 44 across from the D.W.Cone place. Her house was nice in those days, at least so it seemed to me, and I often went there. She later lived in Canandaigua.
James W. Case and Lavina Beech had three children, James G. who D- 1858. Hiram D. 1814-1814. and Hiram who married Jane Andrews, the mother of Margaret McCabe, of Howell Street, Canandaigua.
