James,
I am trying to connect with descendants of a Fred L. Babcock (b. 1853)from the DuPage/Cook County, Illinois area. He married Addie Mitchell from Michigan Feb. 25, 1180.
He and several family members owned a place in Magnolia Springs, Alabama (Gulf Coast) and were founders of and the actual builders of the Episcopal Chapel there.
Someone just sent me a short history of the chapel (and I found some of it online), and it mentions that a Mrs. Max Skiba was the daughter of Fred Babcock.Someone has written into the margin, "Granddaughter Maud SKiba still active in the congregation."I don't know when this was written, but probably in 1972.
Could these Skibas be related to yours from Michigan?I think this would be Sarah Alice Babcock who married Max Skiba.
