Andrew, I believe there is a mix of two different George Waite Babcock's

1. This profile, George is the son of Isaiah and Elizabeth Plumbe b. 1749 2. The biography, George is the son of John and Lydia Babcock b. 1751 Both married Susanna's

  1. 1. married Susanna Sheldon
  2. 2 married Susanna Fowler

Both had a son George

  1. 1 is page 42 of Isaiah Babcock Descendants
  2. 2 is page 80 of Babcock Genealogy

I will leave it to you to fix.

This is challenging. I think maybe removing the entire Bio and starting over with the proper George Babcock of this family lineage.

Is there a profile for the George Babcock who married Susanna Fowler?

No. I got this. I'm going to create the other George Waite Babcock son of John.

I have filled this George in and created the other George at https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Babcock-5107 and added the military parts that were on this profile but belonged to the other.

The Find A Grave noted a problem by Robert contributor #49407754 “Every gravestone was photographed and posted years ago”

So if he is buried at Hopewell the stone isn’t going to be easy to locate

I have a friend in that area. I'll see if she will go out and look.
