Isaiah Babcock, Sr. served on the Committee of Safety of Partridgefield, Massachusetts during the American Revolution, being elected as a town officer on 1 March 1779. Unsupported family history, places Isaiah, Sr. at the Siege of Yorktown as a Continental soldier in 1781. However, no such evidence has turned up from the U.S. War Department (Babcock, p.11).
