2nd wife Eugenia Coleman Babcock (a 1st cousin of his 1st wife Margaret Woods)

Dr. Sidney Eugene Babcock was husband to Margaret Woods of Chester District, a grandchild of Major John Kennedy, monikered as the "Father of Chesterville", and served as a physician within the county. Their son, Dr. James Woods Babcock, buried next to his mother, used knowledge developed from work at a mental institution to determine a course of nutrition needed to prevent a long time and indecipherably-caused scourge of pellagra which caused severe mental and physical disabilities.

William F. Babcock was another son of this couple, being born about 1860. Other children are not determined but will be added when lore or documentation arises.

It is not certain that Dr. S. E. Babcock was a Chester native but it is documented that South Carolina birth was claimed by him, as was a father born in Connecticut and a mother born in Virginia. It is presumed that Dr. Babcock died in his county of domicile but that is just reasoned speculation and not yet documented.
