Edward BABBIT OR BOBET

                   I had him before the DNA.

1654 - settled on a farm bought from Jonas Austin in 1652 on Joshua's Creek, on an old highway between Taunton and Freetown.

King Phillip's War
Taken from the history of the Bobet/Babbitt Family.
"We have now come to that time of terror and disaster to the settlers - the uprising of the Indians, known as King Phillip's War. It can easily be imagined how many anxious hours were passed by Edward and sarah Bobet, so far removed from the garrison stockade, with thier large family of children. Judging by the quantities of Indian relics found on his home farm it would seem that it was a peculiarly favorite of the Indians before Bobet bought it. Finally, their position became to dangerous to admit of further delay and being warned of the commencement of hostilities, on June 25, 1675, they took refuge in the garrison at Taunton, leaving behind the home which had been the fruit of so much labor in the wilderness. We must depend upon tradition for the account of Edward Bobet's last hours. This tradition has been so faithfully handed down from generation to generation and seems so fully confirmed by his place of burial that there is no reason to disbelieve it. According to this tradition Bobet returned to his house to secure some necessry article - perhaps the cheese hoop, as the story says: he was accompanied by his dog in the thought that perhaps warning of prowling savages would be given by it. He secured the needed article and was on his way back to the fort when he became aware of his pursuit by Indians; he climbed a tree and was effectually hidden, but his faithful dog disclosed his prescence and his life was the forfeit of his hazardous adventure. His grave is in a private yard, near Berkley Bridge, and is thought to be the spot where he was killed. The spot was marked by a bronze Memorial Tablet in 1911 - its cost being defrayed by small contributions from his descendents from all over the United sates and Canada. When he failed to return to the fort the searc hing party probably buried his mutilated body where it was found and later the old headstone was placed there, which is now in Historical Hall, it having been taken away from the grave in after years and placed on a stone wall near by. This old stone reads: "Edward Bobbett, Kld June, 1675."
BABBITT line is taken back to Edward and Sarah (TARNE) BOBET of Taunton, Massachusetts.
