Does anyone have any information on Ephraim Badgley being in Ill. with the Downeys and others from Greene Co.? I found an Ill. land purchase for 1835 by Ephraim Badgley. He shows up in Ill. Census in 1840 & 1850 in St. Clair Co. Ill. I think that I am going to write him off for Ohio, but what I am wondering is if Hugh Badgley and family traveled with this group and then returned to Ohio for the 1850 Census. The Hugh Badgley family is not in the Ohio 1840 Census, but are in 1830 & 1850. Their son Perry was born in Indiana in abt 1839 so that might be on the way back? Any ideas are welcome from the Hugh Banks Badgley group or the Downey/Millers. I sort of want to settle out on Ephraim and Hugh since they are not in my direct line now that I have good old Benjamin!
