Research Notes
Care should be observed not to conflate this Peleg Babcock with Peleg Babcock, son of Hezekiah and Mary (Peckham) Babcock, whose wife was Lucy (Babcock) Babcock. Both same-named couples were contemporaneous within proximate geography.
The Babcock Genealogy had some trouble with Polly and Lucy Babcock -- it gives the wrong birth date and mother for Polly, and assigns her as the wife of George Denison, when it was actually Lucy who was his wife. Lucy did not die on the date given in this book, and she was not unmarried when she died.
