Among the prominent early nineteenth century printers in Connecticut were the Babcocks. John Babcock (1764-1843) started in Albany, N.Y., moved to Springfield, Mass., and then to Hartford (c. 1800-c. 1815), before settling in New Haven. He went bankrupt in 1825 and his business in New Haven and a branch in Charleston, S.C., was assumed by his son, Sidney (1797?-1884), proprietor of "Sidney's Press" in New Haven.
