"The Sabbath Recorder", Vol 1, No 6, p 23, Aug. 1, 1844.
In Scott, N. Y., on the 16th of July, Mr. Ezra Babcock, aged about 75 years. The deceased was born in Hopkinton, R. I., in 1769. He embraced religion when about 17 years of age, and united with Eld. Wilcox’s church, where he continued his membership for some time, until a difficulty arose among some members of the church, which included him, with a number of others, to withdraw and unite with Eld. Brown’s church in Stonington, Ct., of the first-day Baptist denomination. In 1798 he left Rhode Island, and removed to Leyden, Mass. There being no Seventh-day Baptist Church in that place, he continued to walk with the first-day Baptists. In 1812 he removed to Scott, N. Y., and was one of the early settlers of that town. He continued his membership in Eld. Brown’s church until after the Seventh-day Baptist church was constituted in Scott, of which he became a member, and continued to be a member until he was removed from the church militant, to join the church triumphant. Through life he was a strenuous advocate for the Sabbath according to the commandment of God, a firm believer in the doctrines, and a consistent observer of the ordinances of the Gospel of Christ. He has left an aged companion, a large family of children, and a numerous circle of relatives and friends to mourn his loss.
