The Babcock Family Cemetery is located over a mile into the woods from the main road on an old cart path. Two childrens graves were identified that have been long lost, son Joseph and baby “R”.

An old forgotten road, Blandford Road in Tolland, originally connected both towns just outside the Barnes District and was home to the Babcocks in the 1870’s then changed hands to the Congregational Church Society. This wilderness was once heavily populated.
