I wrote a kid's book about Henry Babbitt's sister-in-law, Emery's aunt. Henry was married to Sarah Murray who had a sister named Ruth. (Henry and Sarah named one of Emery's sisters Ruth as well) While I know Ruth and Sarah's parents were among the original founders of Naperville, I can't find out if Henry and Sarah were part of that first group. Henry's family and his parents with their younger children are definitely in the area by the next spring, but I don't know when they arrived. Do you happen to know? I'm happy to share whatever info I have, but I'm hoping you know more! Thanks,
