From Genealogical Dictionary of Rhode Island:
Tradition gives his wife as being Mary, daughter of Thomas Lawton, an impossibility since Thomas Lawton had no such daughter. Other fiction comes with the tradition but it is assumed to be so far true that if George Lawton be substituted for Thomas the tradition may be sustained as to marriage.

From Babcock:
John Babcock received from the company an apportionment of land the same as the other settlers. The town records of WEsterly show that in 1669 John Babcock was given the twenty-seventh lot. It is certain that he settled on the banks of the Pawtucket River near what is now Avondale R.I. and that his oldest son James, inherited and occupied the homestead.some of the homestead land has never passed from the ownership of the descendants of John, as the widow of Ezra Babcock, son of Daniel and Nancy (Babcock) Babcock, owns and occupies a house at Avondale, which, it is claimed stands upon the same lot on which John and Mary (Lawton) Babcock built their first home.
