Get ready to dive into the exhilarating saga of The Lions of the Sea!

For more than four centuries, a name has roared across the oceans! It pays tribute to the legendary Fishing Master, the valiant Sheriff, the tavern keep, the butcher, the father, the Pirate with a soft heart, the terrible ghost that haunts the shore looking for his hidden treasure, the one, the only, Phillip Babb (1) of the Isles of Shoals!

His name still regularly crosses the lips of people in this small community as tall tales of his exploits and adventures continue to abound. His legacy is that of a Lion who ruled the waves with an iron grip and his community with a heart of gold.

Today, I’m thrilled to bring you this monumental breakthrough! I’ve traced Phillip’s lineage back another 4 generations to his forebears who were also sovereigns of the sea! The moniker ‘The Lions of the Sea’ couldn’t be more fitting for this clan, whose roots we’ve now traced back to the year 1475, with whispers of connections reaching even further back to 1322 & 1150 AD.

Hold onto your hats, because ‘Babb Unabridged’ has just undergone its most transformative update yet! The code has been cracked, and the mystery revealed that has haunted generations of Genealogists. As part of the journey, I’ve included relevant blog articles along with the person’s records, so you can trace my journey and my conclusions.  You will be able to see for yourself the progress with each successive article from my blog at BabbUnabridged.com. 

Additionally, I’ve got a heartwarming reunion in store for the New Brunswick Babb descendants. They were previously known as branch 1-6 in Jean A Sargent’s Babb Families of America and have been joyfully linked back to their rightful place in branch under Peter Babb 1-5. It’s a historic moment for the Babb family tree, and I’m over the moon to share it with you!
