I am researching the family mentioned in the book "Deacon Babbitt a Tale of Fact and Fiction" by Edgar G. Blankman (Printed 1906)

So far, I have established that the family did, in fact, live in Northern NY at the time said in the book. But, I am wanting to learn some more information about them and thier ancestors and decendants if any.

This is what I have so far:

Orland Babbitt b: Abt 1817 - 1819 d. Oct 31, 1884
His headstone states he was 66 at his death. The census says he was 51 in 1870.

Elizabeth Babbitt b. abt 1823 d. Oct 11, 1855
Estimated birth year from her age at death from her headstone (32 years) 1st wife of Orland.

Mary J Babbitt b. abt 1834 d. abt 1881
Head stone damaged but says she was 47 when she died. 1870 census says she was 36.

Alden Babbitt b. abt 1847 d. Jan 20, 1890
Was listed as 23 on the 1870 census. Son of Elizabeth & Orland (Name reads 'Aldin' on stone 'Alden on census)

Elizabeth Babbitt b. abt 1860 d. dec 13, 1880
Aged 20 years on stone was 10 at 1870 census. Daughter of Mary and Orland.

Eliza F Risley b. abt May 7, 1851 d. Nov 2, 1873
Buried in same area as the Babbitt family listed as wife of Sylvester H. Risley. Headstone states aged 22 yrs, 5 mo, 26 dys. 19 years old on 1870 census.

The book also mentions two daughters of Orland named Eloise and Esther have yet to find information about them though.

Other Babbitts in the Marshville area at the time were:

Babbitt, Franklin b. abt 1850
20 in 1870 census

Babbitt, Sarah b. abt 1852
18 in 1870 census

George Babbitt b. abt 1847 d. After 1920
Not on 1870 Census on 1920 census as being 73. Buried in Hermon Cemetery unsure of date of death

Samuel G Babbitt b. abt 1785 d. Nov 6, 1878
Headstone lists him as being 93 at time of death

Any information that anyone could send me at gneissghai@sbcglobal.net would be appriciated.

Thanks,
James W. Howells
