On Nov. 25, 171 5, Oliver gave a mortgage on one hundred
and thirty acres of land for £100 currency, which he borrowed
from the Colony of Rhode Island, without interest. A month
earlier his brother James had borrowed £300 under similar
conditions, fully described in his biography.

Oliver was admitted a freeman May i, 17 16. fie w'as Dep-
uty from Westerly to the General Assembly in 1730, '34, 'T,y,
'38, '52. (C. R. of R. I., vol. V.) For a large part of his
life public records refer to him as "Col. Oliver Babcock." At
a meeting of the General Assembly held at Warwack, R. I.,
on the second Monday of Aug., 1735. Capt. Oliver Babcock
was appointed one of a committee "for creating a new harbor
in Westerly by turning the Pawcatuck River into the largest
salt pond along the Westerly shore, so that said pond would
become a very commodious and navigable harlx)r, and would
likewise be very convenient for the catching and making of
codfish." The proposed work was no doubt found to be im-
practicable, as it was never performed.

The same year he was a commissioner to lay out twenty
acres of land upon which to build an Indian meetinghouse in
W^esterly. W'as also one of the commissioners to build a
bridge across the Pawcatuck River at Westerly. (W. and W.,
