HISTORY OF THE TOWN OF STONINGTON, County of New London, Connecticut, from its first settlement in 1649 to 1900, by Richard Anson Wheeler, New London, CT, 1900, p. 213

From Jon Saunders (cousin.connector@cox.net) via www.rootsweb.com: Birth: 1671 @ Westerly, Kings Co, RI Death: 8 May 1762 @ S Kingstown, Kings Co, RI Burial: 1762 S Kingstown, Kings Co, RI Religion: 7th-Day Baptist Note: She & husband George buried on own farm near hwy & dwelling, long since known as Tucker place, graves covered w/lrg freestone tablets fully inscribed. Elizabeth's obit appeared in Boston Evening Post Mon, 24 May 1762, as follows: S Kingston, May 10 1762. On the 8th Instant died here Mrs Elizabeth Babcock, Widow & Relick of Mr George Babcock, late of said Town, in the 91st Year of her Age: She was a Woman of great Piety & unblemished Character; has left behind her 8 Children, 61 Grand Children, & 76 Great Grand Children, in all 145, which whole Number lives in this Colony, except 1 Grand Daughter & her Children; she has also left 4 Sisters, 1 of which is older than herself.' Wheeler in 'Hist of Stonington' & Babcock in 'Babcock Genealogy' state Elizabeth's father was Henry Hall & mother's given name was Content. Babcock states they were of Kingston. Arnold in 'Narragansett Hist Register' states mother's name was Constant, not Content. 'Hist of RI' does not list parents of Elizabeth, unusual, since it customarily does. Appears to be inaccurate. Arnold's Henry & Constant had dtr Elizabeth, but mar name was Britten at time of father's death in 1705. Further, Elizabeth's b c1672. Henry & Constant not married until c1680, & their Elizabeth not b until c1695. Rev David Hall states, in 'Halls of New Eng': 'Henry Hall Jr, m Constant. He made his will Nov 1, 1716, in which he mentioned sons Wm, Elisha, Henry, James, John, Edward, & dtrs Susanna, Lydia, Elizabeth Butler, Cherry Cottrel & Mary & Martha not of age. Elizabeth Butler is interesting entry. Possible 'Butler' is really 'Babcock?' Elizabeth (Hall) Babcock's obit states she was survived by 3 sisters, 1 of whom was older than she. Could fit circumstances. Another Elizabeth Hall, sister of this Henry, who would be of appropriate age, since she b c1676. However, she m Edward Larkin. Appears Elizabeth's parents were not Henry & Constant described by Arnold. Clouded links of Elizabeth to appropriate Hall family remain to be clarified. However, it is prob Elizabeth is of Hall family of RI.

Elizabeth Hall Babcock b. 1671, Rhode Island

Source: Rootsweb, "They Came to Milton" This source helped me clear the confusion over Elizabeth Hall's parents.

1. ID: I3759
2. Name: Elizabeth HALL
3. Given Name: Elizabeth
4. Surname: Hall 1 2
5. Sex: F
6. Change Date: 01 DEC 2007
7. Birth: 1671 in Westerly, Kings Co., Rhode Island
8. Death: 08 MAY 1762 in South Kingstown, Kings Co., Rhode Island
9. Burial: 1762 South Kingstown, Kings Co., Rhode Island
10. Note: SK045, Tucker Lot
11. Religion: Seventh-day Baptist
12. Note: She and her husband George 'were buried on their own farm near the highway and his dwelling house, long since known as the Tucker place, and their graves are covered with large freestone tablets fully inscribed.' Elizabeth's obituary appeared in The Boston Evening Post on Monday, 24 May, 1762. It reads as follows: 'South Kingston, May 10, 1762. On the 8th Instant died here Mrs. Elizabeth Babcock, Widow and Relick of Mr. George Babcock, late of said Town, in the 91st Year of her Age: She was a Woman of great Piety and unblemished Character; has left behind her 8 Children, 61 Grand Children, and 76 Great Grand Children, in all 145, which whole Number lives in this Colony, except one Grand Daughter and her Children; she has also left four Sisters, one of which is older than herself.' Wheeler in his 'History of Stonington' and Babcock in his 'Babcock Genealogy' state that Elizabeth's father was Henry Hall and her mother's given name was Content. Babcock states that they were of Kingston. Arnold in 'The Narragansett Historical Register' states that her mother's name was Constant, not Content. 'The History of Rhode Island' does not list the parents of Elizabeth, which is unusual, since it customarily does so. This appears to be inaccurate. Arnold's Henry and Constant did have a daughter Elizabeth, but her married name was Britten at the time of her father's death in 1705. Further, Elizabeth's date of birth is about 1672. Henry and Constant were not married until about 1680, and their Elizabeth was not born until about 1695. Rev. David Hall states, in his 'Halls of New England: 'Henry Hall, Jr., m. Constant. He made his will Nov. 1, 1716, in which he mentioned sons William, Elisha, Henry, James, John, Edward, and daughters Susanna, Lydia, Elizabeth Butler, Cherry Cottrel and Mary and Martha not of age. Elizabeth Butler is the interesting entry. Is it possible that the 'Butler' is really 'Babcock?' Elizabeth (Hall) Babcock's obituary (reproduced later) states that she was survived by three sisters, one of whom was older than she. This could fit the above circumstances. There is another Elizabeth Hall, the sister of this Henry, who would be of an appropriate age, since she was born about 1676. However, she married Edward Larkin. It appears that Elizabeth's parents were not the Henry and Constant described by Arnold. Therefore the clouded links of Elizabeth to an appropriate Hall family remain to be clarified. However, it is probable that Elizabeth is of the Hall family of Rhode Island.
