The Babers, who have now their home in the Bristol district, have long been represented in that part of the county. Benjamin Baber was mayor of Bath in 1677, 1687, and 1700 (C.). Francis Baber was an eminent physician of Chew Magna, Somerset, about 200 years ago (Hoare's "Wiltshire"). In Gloucester Cathedral there is an epitaph referring to "Francis Baber, armiger, of the ancient family of Baber, in the county of Somerset, who died in 1669" (Bigland's "Gloucestershire"). There was a Baber married in 1628 in Oddington Church, Oxfordshire (Dunkin's "Oxfordshire"). Francis Baber, chandler, evidently of this Somerset family, embarked at Weymouth, in 1635, for New England (H.). Since the Babers were considered an ancient family in the county in 1669, they must rank amongst the oldest of Somersetshire families.
