Sources:
* "The BABBITT Family History," by William Bradford Browne,
* Vital Records of Dana, MA. to the end of the year 1850, compiled by Thomas W. Baldwin,
* Elijah and Hannah "could" have been married in Fremont, MA.,
* Letter from Metropolitan Water Commission, dated October 1, 1999, from Terry Ann Campbell, Visitor Center Staff, verifies that Elijah and Hannah were buried in Dana and then moved to Quabbin Park Cemetery, FHC - IGI (for clues only.)

Notes:
* Elijah BABBITT was a Sergeant in Lieutenant Nathaniel Morton's Company, Colonel Edward Pope's Regiment; marched to Rhode Island on the alarm of December 8, 1776.
* Greenwich, MA was one of the 4 "Lost Towns" which was evacuated and flooded by the construction of Quabbin Reservoir in 1938. Dana, MA is now extinct, as it was one of the "Lost Towns" which was evacuated and flooded by the construction of Quabbin Reservoir in 1938. Dana's highest population was 876 in 1860.
* The bodies in the cemeteries were moved to Quabbin Park Cemetery, Ware, MA. Elijah and Hannah BABBITT are in Lots 1562 and 1563.
* There was a Hannah FULLER born about 1742 in Barnstable, MA to Nathaniel FULLER and Abigail Hickley FULLER, but I cannot connect her to the Hannah FULLER that married Elijah BABBITT.
