BABCOCK AND ALLIED FAMILIES, by M.M. Lewis, Brooklyn, New York. page 14.
    Oliver was born in Hopkinton, RI, Dec. 12, 1797, and died at Potter Hill, RI, Sept. 9, 1869. Educated in the schools of his native town, he supplemented his schooling with good reading. As a young man he taught singing school during winter evenings, was an excellent choir singer and acted as chorister in his church for about twenty-five years. When only twelve years of age he was baptized and untied with the First Seventh Day Baptist Church of Hopkinton, with which he remained a member during the rest of his life. He was always deeply interested in the schools of his neighborhood and for many years acted as school trustee, hiring the teachers and always making them welcome guests in his home at the time when "boarding around" was the method of taking care of the teachers during the school terms.
    He served his town as justice of the peace of taxes and in various other capacities. By his efforts the Potter Hill post office was established, and he was the first portmaster. About 1824 he entered into partnership with his eldest brother Daniel, for the manufacture of edge tools at Potter Hill, RI, and made the name of D. Babcock & Company upon any tool a sign of real excellence. The partnership continued about fourty years, when the water power was sold to the factory owners at Potter Hill.
    In June, 1842, when the Dorr war occurred in RI and the State government and threatened, Mr. Babcock, aas sargeant, "shouldered his musket" and with his brother Daniel, and his own son, Nathan, then a young man less than eighteen years of age went to Providence in the company of Captain William Potter, 3rd Regiment, erd Brigade of State Volunteers, to fight if need be for, "law and order", but no fighting occurred. It is a matter of record that Mr. Babcock was eminently a social, genial man, fond of his family and friends, devoted to his church, a temperance reformer among the first of his town, and an enthusiast in the cause of anti-slavery, though not an adherent of the Abolition party. He was an "all-round, broad-minded man." Previous to his marriage he settled at Potter Hill, RI, where the remainder of his life was spent. His widow, who survived him seventeen years, lived in the same house for sixty-two years. "He was Justice of the Peace of Westerly in 1843, 46, 47, 48." Oliver Babcock married at Stonington, CT., Januaary 11, 1824, Phebe Babcock.

Oliver married Phebe BABCOCK, daughter of Stephen BABCOCK and Phebe BURCH, on 11 Jan 1824 in Stonington, New London Co., CT. Phebe was born 5 Mar 1802 in Westerly, Washington Co., Rhode Island. She died 15 Oct 1886 in Potter Hill, Washington Co., Rhode Island.
