. History of Steuben County, New York, with illustrations and biographical sketches of some of its prominent men and pioneers. Steuben, Friedrich Wilhelm Ludolf Gerhard Augustin, Baron von, 1730-1794. Dr. M. T. Babcock is a native of Washington County, born April 30, 1825. He is the son of Oliver and Chloe Babcock. His ancestors on the paternal side were for several generations residents of Vermont; on the maternal side, of Connecticut. His father took up his residence in Washington County about 1820, where he was married. About 1829 the family settled in Steuben County, in what is now the town of Read- ing, Schuyler Co., and a few years later removed to the town of Jerusalem, Yates Co., where the parents died. Dr. Babcock was reared on the farm, and attended district school until he was sixteen years of age, followed by several years as a student at Franklin Academy, and a teacher in Steuben and adjoining counties. He read medicine with Dr. P. K. Stoddard, of Prattsburgh, and during the same time learned dentistry. In 1852 he was graduated at Geneva Medical College, having been admitted to the lecture courses of that institution the year previous. The same year of his graduation he established an office in Hammondsport, and during the winter of 1854-55 attended a course of lectures at the Buffalo Medical College. After three years' practice in Hammondsport he attended a second course of lectures at Buffalo, and resumed his practice of medicine, which he continued until the fall of 1862, when he was ap- pointed assistant surgeon in the 141st Eegiment New York Volunteers, which position he held until the close of the war, and was honorably discharged. The following bears testi- mony of his valuable services as a surgeon : Headquarters 1st Division, 20th Army Corps. Office Surgeon-in-Chief, Near Washington, D. C, May 30, 1865.
