This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/2YB.2ACI/138.1069 Message Board Post: Hello, Sherry! I found your posting at the Highland county site, and have a couple of Badgleys for whom I'm looking, also quite a few Browns. I posted a query just last night (well, early this morning) on the Badgley board at Ancestry.com, but will repeat the info for you here. A couple of Badgleys and quite a few Browns married into my Edgington line in southern Ohio. My mother's maternal grandmother was our Edgington link. One I'm looking for is Elizabeth Badgley (1829-1917) who married Eli Davidson Edgington. Eli's father was Jesse (1805-1875). I have no mother's name. I show one sibling, a brother, Sampson, born 1832 (he married Keziah McKinley, another recurring surname in the region). Not much to go on, I know. I searched your homepage for Edgington but didn't get a hit. However, I DID find the Jane Badgley who wed Alexander Edie (he's s/o Honor Margaret Edgington!)! Thanks! Do you have the ancestry for Alexander? Would you like? There are quite a few Overstakes who married with the Edgingtons, but not William J. Sorry! I have access to an Overstake publication, but do not find him in there, either. I have not done any digging for the Browns yet. If you'd like to see details, let me know and I'll send an outline with their connections. There are some Browns who wed Tumblesons and Gutridges, other branches from the extended Edgington tree. Also, I have a Virginia M. Brown married Robert D. Shipley. My Shipleys came from Mason Co, KY into Adams Co Ohio, and I noticed you mentioned Mason Co at your site. I show Robert born after 1938, and the couple as having two sons. Robert's parents were Robert Wayne Shipley (1917-1977) and Mildred Loueva Roush (1919-1973). If this Virginia is yours and you'd like more Shipley info, I'm happy to share. Thanks, Sherry, for any help you can give. I appreciate! If I can provide any info to you, let me know.

Further response to cabwms@hot.rr.com and to SHERRY about early Highland County families. I'm researching the SURBER family who were in Highland County at the same time (early part of the 1800's) Surbers married into both the Badgley and Overstake families. here were several Badgley women who married Surbers, and also Badgley men who married Surber women. FYI -- those who married descendants of Jacob Surber (b. 1744) and his wife Catherine HALLER (Coffield) often passed along to future generations a gene for hearing impairment of various degrees. There were both Badgley and Surber children who attended state schools for the deaf during the 1800's. Their descendants are still well represented in the deaf community. SHERRY, we have corresponded previously about the Badgley-Surber connections in Ohio, mainly from connecting through the SURBER Rootsweb mailing list. I just had a quick look in the archives of the SURBER list and find that Sherry wrote as quoted below in 1999. I'm taking the liberty of quoting below from one of your earlier messages to that list. Don't know if you have later information or not, Sherry. If so, please let us know. I seem to recall another Overstake-Surber marriage but can't find it right now.
