<e: Rev David Badgley>Ill from Hampshire Co,WV</FONT><FONT SIZE=3 PTSIZE=10 Date: 06/24/2000 4:40:28 PM Eastern Daylight Time<BR> From: jimbridg@frontiernet.net (Jim Bridges)<BR> Reply-to: jimbridg@frontiernet.net (Jim Bridges)<BR> To: HFAGLEY@aol.com<BR> < What surnames migrated with Rev David Badgely?<BR> < I really don't know the answer to that question. However, on David's first<BR> trip to Illinois, in 1796, the scouting party consisted of Badgleys, Leonard<BR> Carr, Abraham Stookey, Daniel Stookey, Abraham Iman, Solomon Shook, a Mr.<BR> Whetstone, a Mr. Borrer, and others. [source: "David Badgley in Illinois<BR> Territory" by Lyn Allison Yeager, published in "Foundations, a Baptist<BR> Journal of History and Theology," July-September, 1977, p. 264.]<BR> <BR> > I'm sure I read they stopped<BR> > a year or ywo in Bourbon-Montgomery Co,Ky.<BR> The above cited article fails to show that. This article notes that upon<BR> their return in 1796 to WV, all in the community agreed to move to the<BR> Illinois Territory after a series of community wide meetings. In the spring<BR> of 1797 the move began. 154 people crossed the mountains to Morgantown and<BR> the Monongahela River. It is believed the group continued onto the little<BR> town of Brownsville, Pa. There they secured flatboats, called a Kentucky<BR> flat, because travel along the Ohio passed the length of Kentucky. In May<BR> they pushed off from Brownsville for their journey of 1300 miles. They<BR> docked at Fort Massac and began their overland journey to New Design.<BR> <BR> > Any knowledge of Susanah Dayton or Thomas and Mary Ball Brown, 1782-87 tax<BR> > lists near Moorefield,WV? Any Ball ties in Essex co,NJ. Ever see the<BR> Batchley > spelling of Badgely? I've seen the Batchley surname before - but not linked to Badgley. I have no knowledge of the other people above. Sorry.
