Unfortunately, only the manager is allowed to correct this box in the edit field, but once corrected it will make it easier for other researchers to recognize where this person falls in the over all Babcock-Badcock universe. Recent Y DNA results prove that the Badcocks of MIlton Mass, are genetically distinct from the Babcock lineage that came out of Rhode Island. The more profiles that are correctly labeled, the easier it is to keep the two lines separate. Very useful for DNA research and other looking for primary sources.
Between the Jenney will, the inherited predisposition to hearing and speech impairment and the fact that five children of Silence Babcock and Amaziah Taber were named after Babcock ancestors, I'm sold. GSMD wants more. Can anyone help? I realize Amaziah is a Francis Cooke descendant, trying for second line. Also, how did the parents of Silence Jenney, Babcock and Taber know to name the kids Silence, was speech impairment clear right after birth?
