ALLEN, Colonel Crawford, Jr., was born in Providence, April 2, 1840, son of Crawford and Sarah Senter (Crocker) Allen, and died in that city, May 7, 1894. Mr. Allen was descended on both sides from early New England ancestry. His father was one of the noted manufacturers whose enterprise and skill have made the name of Rhode Island famous in the industrial world, for many years at the head of the Allen Print Works, Providence.  He was a grandson of Zachariah and Anne (Crawford) Allen, and a nephew of Hon. Zachariah Allen, a graduate of Brown University in the class of 1813, and long distinguished as a lawyer, scientist, inventor and manufacturer. The family came from Dorsetshire, England, in 1636. On the maternal side he was a grandson of Rev. Nathan B. Crocker, D. D., a prominent Episcopal divine of Providence, and a great-grandson of Dr. Isaac Senter, a noted physician of Newport, Surgeon in Benedict Arnold's expedition to Quebec and in the Revolutionary army, honorary member of the medical societies of London and Edinburgh, and for many years President of the Society of the Cincinnati of Rhode Island. The subject of this sketch attended the University Grammar School in Providence, preparatory for college, and entered Brown University, but did not graduate, as before the completion of his college course he went abroad with a tutor, making an extensive tour of Europe and extending his trip around the world, visiting China, the East Indies and the Asiatic Islands. Upon his arrival at San Francisco news of the breaking out of the Rebellion reached him, and he immediately returned home and enlisted in a battery of light artillery then being formed in Providence. On November 7, 1861, he was commissioned by Governor Sprague as Second Lieutenant of Battery G, First Rhode Island Light Artillery, and November 18, 1862, was promoted to First Lieutenant; his regiment joined the Army of the Potomac and participated in the Peninsula campaign, and later in the battles of Fredericksburg and Antietam, also in the second battle of Fredericksburg,  where   Lieutenant  Allen   was slightly wounded. Shortly after the latter engagement he was made Adjutant of the regiment and Acting Adjutant-General of the artillery brigade of the Sixth Army Corps, which positions he held until September 30, 1863, when he was promoted to the Captaincy of Battery H, and served at various points in the defense of Washington. For several months he was in command of Fort Richards, near the Falls of the Potomac. In the spring of 1864, Battery H was transferred to a more active scene of operations, joining the artillery reserve of the Army of the Potomac and participating in many important movements and more or less severe engagements. In the following January the battery joined the artillery brigade of the Sixth Army Corps, and took part, April 2, 1865, in the final assault on Petersburg.  On this occasion Captain Allen was warmly com-mended by General Wheaton, commanding the First Division of the Sixth Corps, for the admirable handling of his battery, and was recommended for promotion to Major by brevet, "for distinguished gallantry and most valuable services at the assault on the enemy's works at Petersburg," which promotion he received from the President bearing date of April the second. Captain Allen and his batten-continued in active service until the close of the war, and it is said, on the authority of an officer present, that to Battery H belongs the honor of firing the first gun discharged in the country in celebration of Lee's surrender. Major Allen was breveted Lieutenant-Colonel on June 12 following, and the battery returned home and was mustered out June 28, 1865. After the close of his army career, until his marriage some twelve years later, Colonel Allen spent the greater part of his time abroad, having a residence in London, and coming home only at infrequent intervals. The severities and exposures of army service had implanted in his constitution the germs of a fatal malady, to which he finally succumbed, passing away at his home in Providence, in the midst of his family, to which he was devotedly attached, May 7, 1894. Colonel Allen was a member of the old Rhode Island Club of Providence, also of the Sons of the American Revolution, and of several clubs abroad, his favorite social organization being the Junior Naval and Military Club of London. In politics he was strongly Republican in principles, but independent in his following of party candidates. He was married, November 19, 1877, to Miss Clara Dennison, daughter of Samuel Foster, a prominent manufacturer of Providence, now living at the age of ninety-two years; they had four children : Crawford, Ella Clarke, Sarah Senter and Churchill Senter Allen.

BABBITT, Edward Spaulding, insurance agent, Providence, was born on Mount Pleasant farm, one mile east of Bristol, R. I., July 20, 1829, son of Jacob and Abby E. (Briggs) Babbitt. Jacob Babbitt was the son of Jacob Babbitt, who removed from Taunton, Mass , to Bristol the latter part of the last century, and was there a silversmith, then in the general mercantile business, and subsequently engaged in the manufacture of cotton goods. Abby E. Briggs was the daughter of Dr. Lemuel W.  Briggs, who removed from Middleboro, Mass., to Bristol early in the century; he was the son of Lemuel W. Briggs of Middleboro. E. S. Babbitt received his early education in private schools in Bristol, and took a two years' course in Brown University from 1845 to 1847, since which time his life has ever been that of an active business man.  Removing to Boston in 1852, he became junior partner in the firm of Page, Briggs & Babbitt, large importers of metals and other supplies for ship-building and machine shop purposes, during which time he was also interested with his father in the rebuilding and operating of a cotton mill in his native town, under the name of the Pokanoket Steam Mill Company. In 1863 he became the manager and executive officer of the City Insurance Company, of Providence, continuing in that capacity until 1880, when the company retired from business, dividing to its stockholders more than the par value of its stock. From that time forward he has maintained a most successful insurance agency in that city. He was elected a member of the school committee of Bristol, in which town he resides, in 1884, and now holds that office. He was elected a trustee of the Juniper Hill Cemetery in 1865 and still holds that position.   From an early age he was connected with St. Michael's Church at Bristol.  On his removal to Boston he became vestryman of the Church of the Messiah and delegate to the Diocesan Convention. Since his return to Bristol in 1863 he has served St. Michael's Church as vestryman, clerk, warden, and as delegate to the Diocesan Convention from that time to the present.  Like his father and grandfather he has expressed the Democratic belief in politics, but was never so bound to the party as to feel compelled to vote for its candidate, always claiming the right to cast his ballot for the most reliable man. He was kept from active service in the war of the Rebellion by the enlistment of his father and the subsequent death of the latter, events which rendered his presence at home absolutely necessary for the care and settlement of the estate. He was however alive to the wants of those at the front and did much in obtaining and providing means for the Christian Commissions. While in Boston he was active in the Young Men's Christian Association, and on his return home, with the aid of others, organized one in Bristol, which has done much successful labor among the young men of that place.  He married, January 4, 1853, Miss Arselia, daughter of Daniel N. Morris; they have no children living.  At his death and that of his sister, the name of Babbitt, which has held a prominent position in Bristol for a century, will cease to be known there.

BARNABY, Abner Jones, merchant, and many years a prominent citizen of Providence, was born in Freetown, Bristol county, Mass., May 23, 1834, son of Stephen and Lucy (Hathaway) Barnaby, and died in Providence, June 29, 1882. He was a descendant in the sixth generation of James Barnaby, one of the early settlers of Plymouth colony.  James Barnaby married, in 1664, Lydia Warren Bartlett, daughter of William Bartlett of Plymouth, who arrived at that place in 1623, a passenger in the ship Mary and Ann; William Bartlett's wife, Mary Warren, came to Plymouth in 1620 with her father, Richard Warren, in the Mayflower. Abner J.  Barnaby attended the district school of his native town until the age of fourteen, when he became a student in the Mount Hope Academy at Fall River, and afterward pursued a course at Pierce Academy in Middleboro, Mass , from which he graduated in 1853. Following graduation he taught school at Westport, Mass., for a time, and then removed to Providence and entered upon mercantile life, being employed for six years by his brother, J. B. Barnaby, in the clothing business. In 1861 he started for himself in the clothing trade, and established a large and successful business in the location where he continued up to the time of his death in 1882.  Mr. Barnaby's interest and labors were not, however, limited to the demands of his private business.  His nature was social and public-spirited; he was possessed of strong political principles and views as to governmental policy in municipal affairs, and the popular appreciation of his sturdy integrity and business ability brought him at an early period of his career into activity and prominence in public affairs. He was elected to the Common Council in 1866, and held his seat uninterruptedly for twelve years, in 1876 serving as President of that body.  The following year, 1877, he was the Democratic candidate for Mayor, the first election resulting in a tie vote, notwithstanding the city was strongly Republican; a second election was necessary, which resulted in the election of Mayor Doyle by less than fifty majority.   In 1879 he was elected Alderman from the Fourth Ward, and for several years he served as Chairman of the Democratic State Central Committee. Mr. Barnaby was a thorough and steadfast Democrat, but won and held the respect and esteem of both parties by being upright and honorable in his political life, as in his business career. A writer of the period says of him : "Mr.  Barnaby did a great deal to uphold and strengthen the Democratic party in Rhode Island. In municipal matters he showed rare discriminating sense and keen insight, and in business affairs manifested great enterprise and tact. He was for years champion of the West Side in the long and determined controversy over the location of the City Hall. In this as in every other public question he represented the interests of his constituents with assiduous and unfailing fidelity, and many a weary hour he talked against time to prevent a vote, when the other side happened by some chance to have a majority present. But no matter how long his speeches, Mr. Barnaby was always listened to with pleasure, for his voice was pleasing, his style attractive, his eloquence effective and his words to the point." Mr. Barnaby was a Mason, and was a member of the First Light Infantry since 1858 and of the United Train of Artillery since 1862. He was married, December 31, 1863, to Miss Jennie Wallace, daughter of Dr. Merrick Wallace, a prominent physician of Ashburnham, Mass.; they had four children: Philenia A , Grace E., Jennie W.  and Fannie L. Barnaby. Biographie Index

BIXBY, Reverend Moses Homans, A. M., D. D., Pastor for twenty-six years of the Cranston Street Baptist Church, Providence, was born in Warren, N. H, August 20, 1827, son of Benjamin and Mary (Cleasby) Bixby. He was the fifth of eight sons, of whom five were preachers. He united with the church at the age of twelve, and feeling called to the gospel ministry, he entered at once upon a preparatory course of study. He was the youngest theological student that ever entered the Biblical Institute, now Boston University. At sixteen he was a Sunday-school superintendent, and at seventeen was licensed to preach the gospel. For several years he paid his way by teaching vocal music, and he was never aided by any education society or church during the twelve years of his preparatory studies. He was ordained pastor of a church in Vermont at twenty- two, and continued in the pastoral office about four years.   In January 1853 he sailed for Burmah as a missionary of the American Baptist Missionary Union. Stopping on the way at Cape Town, South Africa, and being detained there a month, he preached repeatedly to a little company of believers, who were soon after organized into a Baptist church, and it is said that more than twenty Baptist churches have since been formed there.  He reached Maulmain, Burmah, in June 1853, where he found the English church without a pastor and wellnigh extinct. Within a few months, under his preaching, the chapel was filled, and the membership increased from nine to forty-five. After this he traveled extensively for several years in the Tenasserim and Martaban provinces, preaching the gospel to many thousands. But the tailing health of his wife compelled him to return to this country, and he landed at New York only to see his beloved helpmate breathe her last before they could possibly reach home. In 1857 he became Pastor of the Friendship Street Baptist Church in Providence, where he remained over three years and where his labors were greatly blessed, one hundred and seventy-six members being added during his pastorate. But his pastoral relations were always held in subjection to the cherished purpose of his life, and as soon as a door was opened for him to re-enter the field of foreign missions, he at once embraced it.   In the fall of 1860 Mr. Bixby was recalled to Burmah, and was appointed to open a new mission to the Shans. Sailing via England and the Red Sea, he entered the field early in 1861.  Just before he reached Burmah, ten thousand Shans, driven out of the Shan States by war, came in a body to Toungoo and settled near his destined home. Encouraged by this providence, he entered with great earnestness upon the work of the new mission, nor did he labor in vain. Success immediately followed, and continued from year to year; the chief's son was soon converted, and converts were multiplied, churches were formed, and a training school was established. In eight years Mr.  Bixby traveled extensively over various provinces, far into the interior and among savage tribes, often in great peril, but always with marked tokens of Divine favor. These labors and exposures, however, proved too much for his naturally robust constitution, and at length his health broke down and he was again compelled to return to this country.  He left his family behind, fully intending to go back; but after a year all hope of his resuming missionary work in that climate being abandoned, his family was called home. For ten successive years he was a sufferer from Burmah fever, but he finally regained his health, and after more than a quarter of a century of service in the home field, is now able to do as much work as at any period in his life. Under his supervision was gathered and organized the Cranston Street Baptist Church in Providence, over which his pastorate has continued uninterruptedly to the present time.   In the incipient stages of the enterprise the responsibility rested upon him alone. Seeing the possibilities of the field, he personally assumed large pecuniary obligations for a church lot, in September 1869, and in three months completed a chapel with a seating capacity of five hundred. This building was enlarged three times within ten years. In January 1870 the Sunday school was opened with thirty-five members, and in the following October the church was organized with fifty-six members. A new, beautiful and commodious house of worship was dedicated in November 1893, and in January 1895 the twenty-fifth anniversary of the church Sunday-school and pastorate was fittingly celebrated.  The results of these twenty-five years of labor are seen in three houses of worship, two for the home work and one for a vigorous out-station; two Sunday-schools, numbering nearly a thousand members ; and an addition of eleven hundred and sixty-five to the church, of which seven hundred and twenty-seven were by experience and baptism.  Dr. Bixby's labors have not, however, been confined to his church alone, he having given counsel and help to many others, and supervised the building of four churches besides his own. He is pre-eminently the friend of young people and deeply interested in whatever tends to uplift the rising generation. For fifteen years he has been a member of the School Committee, and it was through his efforts that the normal music course was introduced into the schools of Providence. Fourteen successive years he was chosen President of the Rhode Island Baptist Education Society, and only resigned on account of the pressure of other duties.  Thirty young men and twenty young women have gone from his church to college. He is a trustee of Brown University, Newton Theological Seminary, Hartshorn Memorial College at Richmond, Va., and Worcester Academy; also a member of the executive committee of the last named institution.  Dr. Bixby is even more vigorous now in the ministry than in his earlier years, and is preaching to larger congregations than ever before. He is in his twenty-seventh year with the Cranston Street Church, and the thirtieth year of pastoral work in the city of Providence. Dr. Bixby was married, in November 1849, to Miss Susan C. Dow, of Maiden, Vt., who died in Burlington, Vt, in August 1856, ten days after her arrival from Burmah. He was married again, in 1857, to Miss Laura A. Gage, principal of the New Hampton ladies' Seminary, who has since shared his labors and successes.  His daughter Jennie, born in Maulmain, in 1855, is the wife of Rev. Freeman Johnson, M. D., missionary in Toungoo, Burmah. His son, Ernest Merle, born in Toungoo, Burmah, is the founder and head of the Bixby Silver Company of Providence, R. I. Biographie Index
