624. Thomas Babb Sr. was born about 1664 in Appledore Is, Isle of Shoals, NH. He died about Aug 17 1748. He has reference number 1-2. In the Newark Monthly Meeting Records (Friends, Quakers) there is an entry dated 3 October 1713 which reads as follows: "Thomas Babb appearing at this meeting and gives ye meeting to understand yt ye death of his wife and for want of some persons to whom he might leave ye care of his young children hath hitherto been ye lett of his not coming more frequent to ye meetings of business". Thomas ran a single parent household,with seven children, from the death of Bathsheba about 1713 until he married Elizabeth (Conway) Booth in 1720. The single parenting was apparently not without problems; a couple of his children were written up in Quaker records for not following the rules! He was married to Bathsheba Hussey in 1699/1700.
