Biography
- Modus operandi: Hit and run profiler of the dearly departed
- Current status: Living, breathing, but living in the past.
- Attitude: Archibald MacLeish said " A poem should not mean but be" and this same thing applies to profiles. Build your tree, but don't forget to put the story in the history. They can't write their own stories. Pictures, maps, and quotations make a profile sparkle.
- Current Project: Expanding American Babcock connections, Tracking name shift from Badcock to Babcock.
- Free Space: USS Beagle: A Liberty Ship
Favorite profiles I have done research or writing on:

Mitrochondria haplogroup U3a1a is somewhat rare in North America, so I made a wikitree page for that haplogroup. Now others who share U3a1a can find one another and catagorize their maternal lineage profiles! See: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Category:MtDNA_Haplogroup_U3a1a
Active in Babcock-Badcock Family Study at FTDNA and Babcock tag on wikitree.

Zeba and Sarah were already shown as parents of Lorenzo, but he had no profile.
It is quite interesting that there are 2 other Lorenzo Dow Babcocks on WT, Babcock-6014 and Babcock-7926, They have to be connected somehow!
The rest of the Babcocks I will leave in the hands of the Babcock Name Study!
Have fun!
And yes, Lorenzo Dow Babcock is an interesting name.
Testing if wonderful bling images can go through the comments system. This is the Babcock Tankard.

I left the category, so the project, one name functionality is still there. Just not the bling.

Found a detailed article following Ann (Babcock) Dusenbery's death listing these siblings: Alfred, Ryerson, Stuart (sp?), Mathias, Loretta Wright, and Sarah Bulson. This would support our conclusion she is daughter of Matthias Babcock and Sarah.
The article also answered my question as to who the fourth child was, a daughter Josephine. Son Benjamin died in 1908.
Will work on getting a transcription of the article posted.
I made basic profiles for Ann's mother and one brother and orphaned them, but will not be able to do computer work for a week or two. Please just blaze away with any of them as you see fit. Anything you do on this difficult Babcock line is much appreciated....
New profiles: One brother Mathias Jr: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Babcock-8535 Their Mom: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Waldron-2927
Hope you don't mind that I mentioned you in my research notes for Waite (Homine) Curtis. I can delete the tag if you like. Would you mind looking at her profile when you have time please? Waite Homine was a Native American and I'm wondering if she could be related to the Babcocks/Badcocks somehow? I look forward to hearing from you. Sincerely, Your 8th cousin, x? rem. Cheri
Richard Walker and Elizabeth Walker Warren have detailed wikiprofiles that seem to get better all the time. This early American family line is lucky that Richard Warren of survived the first hungry year when so many others died. I doubt Elizabeth and the girls would have immigrated on the ship Anne if Richard had not survived. With seven children that survived to have very large families of their own, I can see why they are one of the most prolific Mayflower lines. I think "stranger-adventurer" probably refers to him not being one of the original Pilgrim group that was trying to sail from Leyden for religious reasons, but rather a merchant of London brought on later to help make the Mayflower trip financially viable. Quite an adventurous thing for someone not in the original Pilgrim group. (See the "Children" section of his profile for why I make this speculation).
Thorough profiles for them are found at: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Warren-66 and https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Walker-1209 including the wonderful research that proves Elizabeth was born a Walker and married this exact Richard.
For example, I can see on Lucy Fitch's Family Search profile there are two birth records for Lucy Fitch (1750 1nd 1757), to two different sets of parents, one Lucy was born in Stonington and one in Norwichtown. The existence of two Lucy's could explain why her dates seem a bit confused. And I see a third Lucy Fitch born in 1746, so Lucy is a name the Fitch's liked. Hopefully there is a way to sort them all out!
This other profile is not really a true duplicate, but it duplicates some data, so it seems to be a probably a conflation of two men, but it's sources are not readable at all so there is no way I can untangle it. All this is noted on Ephraim's new profile.

Source are always good. They are better with online sources so additional info is easier to fine.
More information about the Goodman Fraud is a great idea. As for adding information about frauds, keep any specific info short on the main page. Possibly start a freepage page about how frauds will affect BABCOCKs to which affected profiles can link. Add useful links for any WikiTree sources already available.
It might be a good idea to move the Goodman Fraud out of the Source section and put it in its own sub section.
Comment on the Name Study page what you want to do to keep everyone in the loop.
