Biography

This profile is part of the Babcock Name Study.

Disputed Marriage

While John BABCOCK and Mary LAWTON (LAUGHTON) had a daughter Ann,[1] there is no solid proof that she married Moses Barber. Be wary of unsourced trees, including the highly questionable US & International Marriages database, that claim otherwise.

Ann's father John died intestate in 1685. 26 June 1685, the Town Council ordered his estate as follows: Widow Mary Exec. Personal estate. £263 7s 8d. to the widow. To nine of the children £57 2s4d. each at age. viz: to Ann, Mary, John, Job, George, Elihu, Robert, Joseph, and Oliver Babcock. The real estate was divided by agreement to son and heir, James, and his mother, Mary.[2] This is a clear indication that not only was Ann underage, but was not married or her share would have been distributed to her probably under her husband's name.

Ann was probably the second wife of Rev. Joseph Clarke Jr. (1670-1719) by whom she had a son Elisha. See Morrison, George A., The Clarke Families of Rhode Island p. 30 (1902) : "he married Anna Babcock, a sister of Col. Oliver Babcock ..." (Oliver is described as a brother-in-law in the will of Joseph Clarke Jr.)

Babcock-314 and Babcock-106 appear to represent the same person because: ..........

Babcock-106 and Babcock-314 are not ready to be merged because: It seems odd that this family would have two daughters named Ann who lived to adulthood. Are they the same person? If so, they should be merged, and the discrepancies about the dates should be noted in a Research Notes section in the Biography. Thanks! Julie, Wikitree Arborist
Babcock-106 and Babcock-314 appear to represent the same person because: These are the same individuals although the estimated birth and death information is different. Ann Babcock was married to Moses Barber and had the children shown in these records.
