Notes

"On Oct 2, 1777, three boats, each containing seven men, were fitted out in Westerly to join Sullivan's expedition on the island of Rhode Island. In passing Point Judith in the night, when the sea was very rough, two of the boats were capsized, and of the fourteen men thrown into the sea, eight were drowned. So far as known, their names were William Babcock, Nathan Babcock, Nathan Babcock, Joseph Hall, Zebulon Pendleton, Isaac Pendleton, and _____ Bigelow. The first two, William and Nathan, were the eldest sons of Samuel Jr. and Mary Smith Babcock. Their third son Paul, was among the number thrown into the sea but rescued. The second Nathan drowned was the son of Col. Nathan. Westerly and Its Witnesses by Dennison contains an interesting account of the accident."
