Samuel D. Babcock
The Samuel D. Babcock Family
Submitted by Allie Babcock, 2006.
The Samuel D. Babcock family came into Chautauqua
County from Cattaraugus County
in 1838 to Pomfret. Later moving to Dunkirk.
This family began to break up after 1865. Their father Samuel has died
and the mother in 1865. Isaac and Henry have died in the war.
The Babcock Brothers in the Civil War.
Ellen has lost her husband Niles Robbins. Niles had enlisted in the
Pennsylvania Volunteers, Infantry, Co. H., 58th Regiment. She
has his eight month old son. I believe Niles died as a result of the war. She
later married a Heminger.
My great grandfather Minard who had married a Pennsylvania girl, Caroline Elizabeth Cornelius moves his
family from Dunkirk
in 1869. They moved to Iowa and later to
the Dakota Territory.
