BADGLEY

The Badgleys belong to that numerous class of pioneers who began their life in the new world in the seventeenth century. The exact date of the arrival of the founder is unknown, as is also the place in old England from which he came, but from his petition in 1694 down the records of the family are comparatively complete.

(I) Anthony Badgeley, founder of the family, under date of March 3, 1694, petitioned for a warrant of survey for his lot in Flushing called the "Hemp lot," in order to put a stop to the encroachments of Thomas Hedger and others. This petition was granted August 19, 1697. In the Flushing census of 1698, the fifth entry is "Anthony Badgley, Elizabeth his wife, Anthony, Georg, phebe, and 1 negro." In 1707 he was one of a large company who purchased from Peter Sonmans, one of the largest of the proprietors of East Jersey, a tract of land called "New Britain," or "Markseta Colinnge," of one hundred and seventy thousand miles lying about thirty-three miles to the northwest of Elizabethtown. Owing to the legal difficulties about the dividing of old Arent Sonman's estate this property was laid out and divided among its owners as late as 1751. In the Flushing tax-list of 1711, Badgley was rated for twenty-three pounds of bacon, six bushels of wheat and one bushel of Indian corn. In 1715 he was a sergeant in Captain Jonathan Wright's company of militia, and as no mention of his name has been found since then it is probable that he died within a few years later.

By his wife Elizabeth, Anthony Badgley had seven children:
1. Anthony, born between 1690 and 1695; married Phebe Haight; died April 3, 1732, in Flushing.
2. George, born between 1693 and 1696; married Mary Hatfield; died about September, 1759.
3. Phebe, born between 1696 and 1698; married at Jamaica, Long Island, Peter Wilcocks, and moved with her husband to New Jersey.
4. Sarah, born between 1698 and 1700; married, about 1721, Joseph Doty, of Essex county, New Jersey, and left six children.
5. James, referred to below.
6. John, born after 1700; married Euphemia _______; died in 1759.
7. Elizabeth, born after 1700; married Uriah Hedges, of Essex county, New Jersey.
