Re:CONFUSING NOTE: B.Lake Noyes, LDS Deer Isle Genealogy Series: "Courtney Babbidge, Sr. came from England--came from Manchester a 2nd son of Lord Courtney, well-to-do...Old Babbidge from Manchester, England came here once on a visit to his sons--went back so Uncle Toms said to ...." [Is James also "Lord Babbidge?" as Courtney is the second son of James?-haw]

NOTE: From Wheeler's History of Brunswick, Topsham, and Harpswell page 828: JAMES BABBIDGE...a husbandman residing at North Yarmouth, was born about 1697, at Uffculme, Devonshire, England, and was a son of James and Prudence Babbidge, whose other children were a dau., Tampson, who m. John Brumfield, and sons Peter, Courtney, and William. (From "Deposition of James Barbidge, of North Yarmouth, Maine. 1730.)(NEH&G, Reg. Vol. 13.) [Note that if depostion was really taken in 1730 the death recorded in Harpswell (below) could be James Sr. and not Jr....also, did Tampson marry twice?--haw]

From Wheeler's: The Harpswell town records contain the record of the death of James Babbidge, August 11, 1764, aged 78, he was therefore born 1686. It is not improbable that he is the James alluded to as having been born in 1697, and that a mistake has been made in one or the other statement. [I assume Wheeler is wrong and it is the father of this James...as the birth dates would fit. However, there is still a problem with his being the father of this James at age 11; so b. of James Jr. must have been "later than" rather than "about" 1697..--haw]

From History of Brunswick, Thopsham and Harpswell Part III, Chapter 2 pa.856: WILLIAM SILVESTER, of the third generation from Richard, was born in Hanover, Mass., Feb. 25, 1708; m. Mary Barstow May 12, 1736. She b. in Hanover, May 20, 1717.

In his diary is the following entry:-

"May 25, 1762, then we left Hanover and came to Hingham that day shipped our goods on board the Grayhound, Courtney Babbidge, Commander, and we sailed that night about 10 o'clock. The 26 day we went on board. 30 we came to anchor and landed our cattle. 31 we landed our goods and took possession of our house in Harpswell the last day of May." This house was on the lot now (1877) owned by Rev. Elijah Kellogg.

LDS microfilm interview: ...Stephen Babbidge had another 1/2 sister who m.Oliver Lane of Whitmore's Neck, she burnt to death from an old kerosene lamp when they first came out in an old house that stood near Clara (___kl__s) ...

Oliver Lane appears to have married three Babbidge half-sisters.
