I'm helping my daughter research her paternal greatgm line. All the info I have was from Florence personally but she did supply some records. She was Florence BABCOCK, b 16 JUL 1909, Summit. Her parents were George BABCOCK, b. 26 APR 1874 in Waukesha Co, WI, m NOV 1881, in Summit, to Dora DAVISON of Richland Cty, WI. Dora was said to have been killed in a Juneau County train wreck 21 NOV 1919. Florence & her brother Clarence(?), were sent to an orphanage when their father could no longer manage. Her brother left the orphanage before her & although her father lived until 7 JUL 1951, also in Juneau Co, there was never a close relationship with her family. She also mentioned that the BABCOCK line was somehow tied to the WINCHESTER family that developed the famous rifle.
