  • Genealogical Record
    Genealogical Record OF NATHANIEL BABCOCK SIMEON MAIN ISAAC MINER EZEKIEL MAIN COMPILED BY CYRUS H. BROWN WESTERLY, R. I. BOSTON THE EVERETT PRESS 1909 .John Russell Babcock (ii) Old llystk. Conn. To }!y CoUSIXS JOHN RUSSELL BABCOCK A.,"DmsSISn:R SUSA.'1" H. BABCOCK Tms REcom Is G:RAn::FOLLY DEDICATED BY 'IRE AumoR PREFACE. AFTER publishing the Brown Genealogy, in l90i, the author of this genealogy took up first the records of his great-great-grandfather Nathaniel Babcock, Sr., in lineal descent from James Babcock, who settled in Ports­ mouth, R. I., in 16.µ, but removed to Westerly, R. I., in 1662, where his second son, John, who married Mary Lawton, had settled; thus through regular lines of descent, and giving more particular records than were given when that part of the Babcock Genealogy was published, in 1903, bringing the records down to 1910. Stephen Babcock, of Yonkexs, N. Y., has granted me permission to use as much of the early history of the Babcock Family as may be of interest to the descendants of Natilaniel Babcock, Sr. This Babcock record is also supplemented by the descendants of Simeon Main and Martha York, carrying the records on from the last given in the Brown Genealogy; also by the descendants of Isaac Miner and Ka.turah Brown. The Ezekiel Main Family has received by far the most extended research. Ezekiel Main removed to Stonington, Conn., about 1670. The records begin on page 49. My plan of research has been to search town records, to visit burying-grounds, to send hundreds of pexsonal lettexs with blanks to be filled out, and to make pexsonal visits.

  • 2013-2014 Wisconsin Blue Book
    STATISTICS: HISTORY 677 HIGHLIGHTS OF HISTORY IN WISCONSIN History — On May 29, 1848, Wisconsin became the 30th state in the Union, but the state’s written history dates back more than 300 years to the time when the French first encountered the diverse Native Americans who lived here. In 1634, the French explorer Jean Nicolet landed at Green Bay, reportedly becoming the first European to visit Wisconsin. The French ceded the area to Great Britain in 1763, and it became part of the United States in 1783. First organized under the Northwest Ordinance, the area was part of various territories until creation of the Wisconsin Territory in 1836. Since statehood, Wisconsin has been a wheat farming area, a lumbering frontier, and a preeminent dairy state. Tourism has grown in importance, and industry has concentrated in the eastern and southeastern part of the state. Politically, the state has enjoyed a reputation for honest, efficient government. It is known as the birthplace of the Republican Party and the home of Robert M. La Follette, Sr., founder of the progressive movement. Political Balance — After being primarily a one-party state for most of its existence, with the Republican and Progressive Parties dominating during portions of the state’s first century, Wisconsin has become a politically competitive state in recent decades. The Republicans gained majority control in both houses in the 1995 Legislature, an advantage they last held during the 1969 session. Since then, control of the senate has changed several times. In 2009, the Democrats gained control of both houses for the first time since 1993; both houses returned to Republican control in 2011.

    APPENDIX A ["Joint Resolution For the recognition of the independence of the people of Cuba, demanding that the Government of Spain relinquish its authority and government in the Island of Cuba, and to withdraw its land and naval forces from Cuba and Cuban waters, and directing the President of the United States to use the land and naval forces of the United States to carry these resolutions into effect." Statutes-at-Large, v. 30,738-39.] Whereas the abhorrent conditions which have existed for more than three years in the Island of Cuba, so near our own borders, have shocked the moral sense of the people of the United States, have been a disgrace to Christian civilization, culminating, as they have, in the destruction of a United States battleship, with two hundred and sixty-six of its officers and crew, while on a friendly visit in the harbor of Havana, and can not longer be endured, as has been set forth by the President of the United States in his message to Congress of April eleventh, eighteen hundred and ninety-eight, upon which the action of Congress was in­ vited: Therefore, Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, First. That the people of the Island of Cuba are, and of right ought to be, free and independent. Second. That it is the duty of the United States to demand, and the Govern­ ment of the United States does hereby demand, that the Government of Spain at once relinquish its authority and government in the Island of Cuba and with­ draw its land and naval forces from Cuba and Cuban waters.
