Morgan Babcock born around 1806 and Maria Purdy around 1807 married. They were found in Dupage County, Illinois around 1830 - 1850. Morgan's son Isaac Newton Babcock was born in 1837 in Illinois. Stories handed down by the family was Isaac was sickly and was farmed out to the Indians at the headwaters of the Missouri/Mississippi Rivers. Isaac's son Archie Benaiah Babcock was born in Bedford, Missouri. Have been trying to find information on Morgan Babcock and Maria Purdy. I know there is a Finley Babcock whose parents are Morgan and Maria. I don't know if Isaac was aware of the relationship. None of his family knew anything about Finley but always thought there was a brother called Charley.
