Note: On Oct. 2, 1777, three boats, each containing seven men, were fitted out in Westerly to join Sullivan's expedition on the Island of Rhode Island. In passing Point Judith in the night, when the sea was very rough, two of the three boats were capsized, and of the fourteen men thrown into the sea eight were drowned. So far as known, their names were William Babcock, Nathan Babcock, Nathan Babcock, Joseph Hall, Zebulon Pendleton, Isaac Pendleton, and _____ Bigelow. The first two, William and Nathan Babcock, were the eldest sons of Samuel, Jr., and Mary Smith Babcock. Their third son, Paul, was among the number thrown into the sea but was rescued. The second Nathan drowned was son of Col. Nathan. "Westerly and Its Witnesses, by Dennison, contains an interesting account of the accident.
