There were only a very few people that moved into this section of the Black Swamp in 1833. More came in 1834 and 1835. They kept coming. In 1836 there were enough residents in Swan Creek that they organized as a township. In 1837 Chesterfield and Amboy were organized. In 1838 Clinton and Gorham were organized. German Township followed in 1839. In 1841 Royalton, Pike, Franklin and Fulton were organized. Dover was the last township to be organized in 1842. 

 

The officers of the twelve townships asked the state legislature in 1849 to establish them as a county. To meet the state requirements for size, they had to include part of Williams county, and a row of sections south from Henry County. Early in 1850 the state legislature passed a law establishing the twelve townships as Fulton County.

I am seeking any information available for Joseph BABCOCK (no middle name or initial). He was born in Rhode Island, possibly in Providence (I do not know if it was city or county) in 1798-1808. His wife's name was Hannah (no surname known).

They had a son named George Clark BABCOCK, born in Providence, R.I. Dec.25,1830. I am looking for Hannah's surname and Joseph's middle name. Both were the same age. They left RI sometime after 1830 and settled in Ohio in 1835, teaching in one of Ohio's first log cabin schools. Information about George BABCOCK's birth might have the full names of his parents listed.

Thank You. jenedmabry@wesnet.com

 

 

"History of Henry and Fulton Counties, Ohio" page 495:

 

" Shubal Nixon settled here in 1835. He is yet living, residing in the State of Michigan. Joseph Babcock came in 1835. He was a school teacher of the first class, and took great pleasure in the advancement of his school. He taught in the first school-house built in the township. He died in 1868.  His wife survived him two years, dying in 1870, leaving four sons and two daughters.

Robert J., one of the sons, was elected justice of the peace in 1881, and holds that office today."

 

This sounds like the right time of settling in Fulton Co., and he had four sons (Isaac B. included) and two daughters (Mary included), and one of the sons was Robert James. "J". Our Joseph and Hannah Babcock died two years apart, Hannah surviving Joseph, but the years that I have are 1866 and 1868.

 

On page 501, under the subtitle of School-houses Joseph Babcock is listed as "Among the early teachers were..........."

 

On page 503-504:

"The first building destroyed by fire was the log cabin owned by Joseph Babcock, in 1841, near where the town hall now stands. The next was the log cabin of Joel Johnson, near Luke's Corners, in the fall of 1843. Johnson and his wife were gathering hickory nuts some distance from the house, leaving two small children in the care of Joel's father, an old gentleman, and quite

deaf, who was near shaving shingles; when G. C. Babcock, who was returning to his home some distance north, disvoered that the house was on fire, and immediately gave the alarm. When help arrived.................."

 

On page 505:

"It has been said at the beginning of this chapter that there were, as near as can now be ascertained, twenty-five families within the present limits of Fulton township up to 1836, then an unorganized territory. They were ..................... In 1835 were............Joseph Babcock, ...........Hiram Clark, Cyrus Clark, ................. ."

Obituary:

(Shenandoah World, Jan 4, 1907)

 

                The funeral of grandmother Bunting, mother of Mr. I. N. Bunting of this place, was held in the Methodist church on Tuesday at 10 o'clock a.m. conducted by the pastor Rev. Mott Mitchell.  We were unable to get the facts concerning her life more than that she has been a widow for a number of years and has lived with her daughter, Mrs. John Runyan who formerly lived near here but now lives near Braddyville.  Mrs. Bunting was well advanced in years and had not been well enough to visit her Coin friends for some time.  She was a good christian woman and has gone to her reward.  Interment was made at Snow Hill cemetery.

AMERICAN TOWNSHIP.

Page 245

 

BABCOCK, I.  N., lives two miles from Sacramento, his Post Office; owns thirty-five acres of land; was born in Rhode Island in 1828; removed when four years of age to Ohio, and lived there into 1849; he came to California in that year, driving oxen across the plains, and settled where he has resided ever since; is now engaged in farming, stock raising and dairying.  Mr. Babcock says, when he arrived where Sacramento now stands, the ground was covered with campers, anxious to get to the mines, but who had no means of conveyance; he commenced teaming to the mines, receiving 10c per pound for freight; with his six oxen being made as high as $300 per week.  He was married in 1868 to Mrs. Evaline Leak, a native of Kentucky, who had six children by her former husband; she has borne Mr. Babcock one daughter.  He held the office of Justice of the Peace from 1852 to '54, and of Supervisor from 1858 to '60.

 

From Barbara Leak:

I also have a reference to an Isaac Babcock being part of a wagon train company headed for California, encamped at St. Joseph, Missouri, on 10 April 1849. He and several other men in the company are listed as being from Cass Co, Michigan. In looking at a map, it looks like Cass Co, MI, is not too terribly far from Fulton Co, OH. Could this be a missing link?

 

"The Placer Argus" (Auburn, Calif.), 25 Dec 1891:

 

DIED

BABCOCK -- In Auburn, December 23, 1891, J.N. Babcock, a native of Rhode Island, aged 63 years, 11 months, 7 days.

"The Placer Herald" (Auburn, Calif.), 26 Dec 1891:

 

Another Pioneer Gone.

Mr. I.N. Babcock, of Lone Star, died in Auburn, Wednesday morning. He was taken seriously ill about two weeks ago, and had been brought to Auburn to be nearer medical aid. Mr. Babcock was an old pioneer, having come to California in '49. For a number of years he was a resident of Sacramento county and kept the toll house there. He has resided in this county upwards of twenty years, and is well known in this part of the State. Deceased leaves a wife and daughter, Mrs. T.P. Cannon, and five step sons and daughters, viz. Mrs. L.J. Dickson and L.W. Leak, of Auburn, Mrs. Ellen Foley and Mrs. Libbie Womble, of Sacramento, and J.H. Leak, late of Auburn, now of Sacramento, to mourn his loss. He was aged 63 years, 11 months and 7 days. The funeral was held Thursday, at 10 o'clock A.M. from the M.E. Church. 

 

The following is from a newspaper article about Evaline's daughter, Nancy Elizabeth (Leak) Womble:

The Sacramento Union (Sacramento, Calif.), 23 Mar 1941:

 

    . . .Her father was John L. Leak, who became township justice of the north side American river district. After his death, Mrs. [Evaline] Leak, with a family of six children, married her husband's friend, Isaac Newton Babcock, also a justice and who, at one time, operated a ferry over the American river where the bridge now stands at 12th street [Sacramento].

    He was the toll collector for 25 years on American river bridge.

 

From a biographical sketch on Evaline's son, L.W. Leak, published in History of Placer and Nevada Counties, California (Los Angeles: Historic Record Co, 1924), pp. 1240-1241:

 

. . .Evelyn [sic] (Leach) Leak remarried in Sacramento, being united with Hon. I.N. Babcock, a Forty-Niner. . . Mr. Babcock served as a supervisor of Sacramento County and later as a deputy sheriff and jailor in Sacramento. He was a pioneer of '49 and made his start with a market garden out on 12th Street, now North Sacramento. In the early mining days he made as high as $100 profit on one sale of fruit and vegetables, which he wheeled to Sacramento City on a wheelbarrow.

In Reply to: Leake/Around Delaware Co, Ind by Kelly  of 255 

 

 

I don't know where Delaware Co. is but my wife has family ties to Leaks in Boone County and Montgomery Co.Indiana. The 1850 Census for Boone County lists John Leach, but we know that it is wrong and his name was Leak. The August 27th enumeration for District #7 shows his family on page 117, Dwelling #794 Family #565. His wife Nancy was 46 years old and he was 41. There were eight children age 2 through 18. They were as follows: Anderson, 18; Evaline, 16, Robert, 14; Emily, 11; Lucy, 9; John M., 8; Nancy, 6 and James T. 2.

The Mongomery Co. , Township (difficult to read, perhaps "Union"), Leak family, shows Elizebeth Week, which we know was actually Elizabeth "Betsy" (Brockman) Leak , age 48 as the head of the household. My record shows that she had been married to Elisha Leak (1791-1845), on December 25, 1820 in Kentucky (Perhaps Mason or Boone Co.). A person, I asume was her mother, Emily "Milla" Brockman, age 77 also lived at the home. (There are several marriages of Brockmans to Leaks.) The children were James L. 23, John 21, Madaline 19, Emily 17, Jackson 14, Sarah J. 11, and Elizabeth 9. Some sources of information, referenced on what I have, but not sure where it came from are "The Brockman Scrapbook" by William Everett Brockman, 1952 and "Kinfolks" by William Curry Harllee, 1934.

 

There were also some family members from Hendricks Co, Indiana.

 

The Leak my wife is related to is John Lewis Leak, age 21 above, born in Montgomery Co., Indiana in the ealry fall of 1828, and married Evaline Leak, from Montgomery Co. as listed above, age 16 in 1850. In fact she was age 16 when they married on December 24, 1850. in Boone Co. Indiana. They moved in 1854 to Iowa. Due to having TB, he decided to move to California and a dryer climate. They were on a wagon train headed by a Captain Edington, it is assumed they followed the Mormon Trail. It is reported that it took six months. They were enumerated in the 1860 census in the Utah Territory, Carson Valley, now Nevada. It shows five children, age 2 through 8. He came to the Auburn and Sacramento, CA area. He died on November 29, 1866. She was 32 years old and she married Isaac Newton Babcock on Jan. 2, 1868. He was a 49er and a good stepfather to the children.

 

Hope this gives you a lead to some of your ancestors. If not it was fun telling you this short part of my wife's family history.

The name of John Leach listed on the 1850 census for Boone Co., Indiana, is correct. John Lewis Leak of Montgomery Co., IN, married Evaline Leach. She was the daughter of John and Nancy (Dale) Leach of Boone Co, IN.

 

Which of John and Evaline's children does your wife descend from? Their youngest son, James Henry Leak, was my great grandfather.

1911 - Shenandoah Sentinel Post newspaper dated Aug 25, 1911:

 

"Mrs. Jane Babcock and granddaughter, Miss Reed, from Sioux City, have been visiting at the home of I. N. Bunting the last few days.  Mrs. Babcock is an aunt of Mr. Bunting.  John Runyon and wife of Fowler, Kan., also visited at the Bunting house."

 

(It is from this newspaper excerpt that it has been determined that Isaac N. Bunting's mother, Eliza Babcock Bunting, and John Vinton Babcock are siblings. This is how Sarah Jane Stine Babcock can be the Aunt of Isaac N. Bunting.    The "Miss Reed" mentioned in the article would have been Ina Mabel Reid.)

Maranville, a sister of the bride and Mrs. Maude Renshaw and daughter, Miss Mary, all of Shenandoah.  The other guests from this locality were; Mrs. M. J. Tefft, a sister of the bride and also the only guest who had been present at the former wedding and John Martin and Mrs. W. N. Ellis.

                Those present at the reception given in honor of this esteemed couple were:  Mr. and Mrs. William Manasmith; Mr. and Mrs. C. R. Draper; Mr. and Mrs. E. T. Straton; Dr. and Mrs. King, Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Duncan;  Mrs. Izeta Brush, Charles Brush; Mr. and Mrs. William Hines; Mr. and Mrs. Homer Runyan; Mr. and Mrs. Carl Runyan and C. W. Miller.

                The color scheme of the decorations were white and gold.  The table was prettily and tastefully decorated in yellow cross streamers and ribbons of white and gold extending from the chandelier to the table ending in large yellow and white crysanthemums in a circle about the center piece upon which the bridal cake rested.  The cake was an enormous angel food about eighteen inches across and decorated with fifty yellow and white candles.

                The one thing of great interest to those present was a water pitcher given the bride by her mother and used at the first wedding dinner.  The pitcher was decorated with the golden wedding badges, like the guests wore and given a prominent place upon the table.

                After the dinner the reception guests were more than glad to drink the health of the bride and groom from this historical old pitcher.

                Each one of the guests received a piece of the wedding cake either to eat or to put under his pillow and dream over.

                Renewing old acquaintances and retelling old stories and jokes made the afternoon indeed a very pleasant one.

                The pictures of the entire group of friends and relatives were taken by the bride's nephew, John Martin.

I will try to __________ your letter which I received.  _______   _______ to hear from you.   We are having some very cold weather & snow.  It is trying to snow today & looked like we mite have a storm.  We have been having bad colds.  Ina had been about sick this last week.  I was afraid she was going to pneumonia but she is better now..

        Earl froze his face coming home from school last Monday.  I put snow on his face so it didn't get sore.  He only missed 1 day of school this winter & he went to town to get him a new pair of shoes.  Their teacher was sick one week.

        We all went to Ma Christmas but Arthur & Earl & they were there the day before & didn't want to go.  Ma got a big lamp.  Robbie got it for her & I & Arthur got her a bed spread.  Effie got her  a pair of mittens & Ina got her a vace and 2 aprons.

        Earl said he was going to get her a facinata (?) but he didn't get it.

        Ina got a little stove & burrow & doll cradle & Effie got a photograph album & Earl got a musical top & a train of cars & Arthur a book & I got Charlie & Robbie a mustache cup & saucer & John & Arthur a necktie & Ina got Charlie a necktie & I got O.

        Ma gave me a new black satton under skirt since & the children got candy & nuts & oranges.

        Ma had rosted turkey for dinner & you know how good Ma can rost turkey.

        Uncle George McGuin didn't come to see Ma.  Aunt Marge has him sick.  One of the boys was at Ma last week for a little while.  He lives 42 miles west of Sioux City.  I & Ma are going to see them this week.  We are going Friday & come back Monday.  They are going to move to Avoca about the ____ of this mon.

        Ma has got all of her sail (sale) money but Ed Bartles & I guess John will carry him over another year.   Sullivan was the first to pay.  He paid as soon as his note was due.  Ma has rented her place to Charlie Reid again for another year.

        You wrote that May (Mary) Bunting had a little boy & you wrote in your other letter that some one had a little girl & I thought that It was May (Mary) who was it. 

        We heard that John Runyon had sold out again.  Do you ever hear anything of Mrs. Reid or where she is?

        We are going to bucher tomorrow if it isn't storming.

        Well I guess I have wrote all I can think of for this time.  I want to get ready to go to Sunday school so this is all for this time.

        So, good by. Write soon.

                        From Mary to Ida

 

        Ma address is

        3429 Van Buren Ave.

They have answer letter that they have got.

 

Will send you a piece of my new waist.  "
