General Notes: Wife - Lucy Elvira Babcock

---

She was educated at the academies at Homer, New York, and Alfred, New York.
She died from pneumonia in her eighty-sixth year, with her mental faculties still bright and keen. In particular, her memory was as accurate in regard to recent occurrences as it was in the days of her girlhood. This was the more remarkable inasmuch as since the age of eighty-one she had suffered from three paralytic strokes, any one of which was severe enough to have proved fatal to one not possessed of her unusual vitality. Out of an estate of $30,000, she left a bequest of $2,000 for the foreign missions of the Baptist denomi­nation.

Several of her ancestors contributed largely to the public welfare of the New England colonies, particu­larly to the colonies of Connecticut and Rhode Island. Some of these ancestors will be briefly mentioned: John Babcock, Colonel Oliver Bab­cock, Colonel Joseph Pendleton, Captain James Pendleton, Captain Edmund Goodenow, Cap­tain James Avery and Major Brian Pendleton, were often members of legislative assemblies and rendered effective military service. Cap­tain James Avery commanded the Pequots of the Indian allies in King Philip's war. Major Brian Pendleton was deputy governor of Maine in 1680, and was also active in public affairs in Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Rhode Island. Joseph Clarke spent fifteen years in public life, six of which were as a member of the governor's council of Rhode Island. He was a brother of Dr. John Clarke whose services to Rhode Island were second in importance only to those of Roger Williams. Dr. John Clarke was four years deputy gov­ernor and twelve years the agent of the colony at the English court. He secured from King Charles II. the charter of 1663, which remained the fundamental law of the state until 1843. Dr. John Clarke left no descendants.
