More Church Records:

Caroline Angel went to Ohio.

This family of Angels lived on what was later the Kimble place, on the cross-road, Sect. 43. In studying these records, one might place Jenekes Angel as the pioneer father, who died in Hopewell. Caroline may have been his wife and Jason their son. Mrs. Mary Angel may have been Jason's wife. Hannah and Benjamin may have been man and wife but this is all guess work. Anyway the family all went to church and moved on to Ohio around 1838.

Rabecca            

The Arnold place was on Sect. 47 across from the school house.

I think some of the family were still there when I was a small girl.

As these records show, the first wife of Joy Cone Salisbury's father,

David W. Cane(Cude) was Kate Arnold. I dimly remember her.

She died at the age of 36, in 1886, and was buried on the

James  Cone Lot. No 87.

William Pollok, the grandfather of Bob Pollok, and his wife who was a

sister of Jason's Gates wife Jennie Kipp, went there later to live, and

may have bought the farm of the Arnolds. I do not know where the

Arnolds went.

Babcock.  

George Babcock and his wife, Sarah, must have been among the very early settlers in Hopewell. According to Mrs. Fred Benham, the druggist's wife in Canandaigua (she was Mary Babcock) the George Babcock home was on Sect. 47 but across from the Cemetery. He may have built that house for it is old. Mrs. Benham was a great-grand daughter of George. She told me that the farm extended across the road originally and that George Babcock gave the land for the church and the burying ground. 
He was known as Deacon George.

They came to Ont. Co. from Stonington, Conn. and some, if not all, of
their children were born there. At least, Lemuel who appears to have been
the eldest 1772-1830 was born in Stonington. His wife was Lucy Ann
Sawyer of Partridgeville, N.Y. and they lived at one time on what was
later the Gardner farm, across from the Birdseye place, on the west.
Nancy Birdseye, dau. of the pioneer Jos. Birdseye, married Lyman
Babcock, who may have been their son, for that was also their home
before they went to Ohio. When the stage coaches began to run they
kept one of the toll gates there.

William Babcock, another son of Dea. George and Sarah, went to live on
Sect 43, on the cross road which curves around to the Hopewell Center
Road and probably built the house there, the one on the south side of the
road beyond the Gheen place. That family went to Michigan about 1836
and had 15 children. Three of these are buried in the old cemetery--Seymour,
Alonson and S--.

Oliver Babcock, another son  of Dea. George, lived on this farm when
I was a small girl. His wife was Hannah Levalley, dau. of Holden Lavalley.
Cem. Lot No. 31 was owned by Richard Levalley 1784-1813, a brother
of Hannah. Oliver had seven children, Pliny 1819-1858; Chas. Thomas,
whose wife was Nancy Wier, the mother and father of Mary Babcock
(Mrs. Fred Benham). They lived on Chapin Street, and she came a few
times to our Cemetery Meetings before her death. Oliver's other children
were Emma, B-1837; Holden,1824-1825; Mary, 1826-1848; Harriet 1835-1850; Hannah 1832-1859. All but Chas. and Emma are buried in
the old Cemetery.

Susannah Babcock married Daniel Gates,Jr. With his death she married
the 2nd time Dr. Torry 1778-1858. Susannah was B-1777.D-1856.

George Babcock, the youngest child of Deacon Geo. Babcock, M­Mary
Gates, dau. of Capt. Daniel Gates, Green Co. N.Y.
