Hosmer's An Historical Sketch of the Town of Deer Isle, Maine:[4]

Stephen Babbidge, his eldest son, settled upon the southern side of the lot taken up by them, and had his right assigned him there. His wife was Miss Hannah Staples, a daughter of the man who has been mentioned as having been impressed by the British. His sons were : Courtney, who lived for some years near the mouth of Union River, in the city of Ellsworth, and died there Stephen, the father of the present Mr. William Babbidge; Levi, a master-mariner; John, who died very suddenly, in 1826; Aaron, and the late Mr. William Babbidge; and James, who in 1833 was drowned, with his wife and child, in passing through the flood-gates into the millpond, at the Southeast Harbor. The daughters were the wives of Mr. William Barter, of Isle au Haut, and Mr. Nathaniel Robbins, Jr., and all are now dead. Mr. Babbidge died in 1841, aged eighty-two years. He was for many years an invalid, was much respected, and in his day had considerable influence here, and he acquired considerable property. After the death of his wife he married her sister, Mrs. Saunders, and afterward, in 1835, married the widow of Mr. Stephen Dow, a daughter of Mr. William Sellers.
