There are many questions about this intermingled family of Babcock, Ellarson, Walker, House family. I have tried to locate Amos Babcock after 1840 but have not found him anywhere so therefor cannot verify his parents names. Would love to connect with anyone researching this family who resided in NY,WI,IA,KS and then WA. He is one of our civil war vets resting at our G.A.R. section at Evergreen Cemetery, Everett, WA.
