In my search for ancestors of Isaac BADGLEY/BADGELY born April 1780 in
VT/NY, I found the following book at the Library of Michigan, in Lansing
Michigan. United Empire Loyalists: Pioneers of Upper Canada by Nick and
Helma Mika, Belleville, Ont. 1976.

Page 180
Thurlow Township

"The ninth town on the Bay of Quinte [Lake Ontario] was surveyed in
1787 by Louis Kottle, and was named after Baron Edward A. Thurlow, an
outstanding British statesman and support of George III. Before the
survey was finished, some of the early Loyalist settlers took up land
along the Moira River. During the year of 1789, Thurlow received a
group of some fifty Loyalists who came from Prince Edward County. Among
these arrivals, who settled some distance back from the front in the
area of Foxboro, were . . . Stephen and Laurence Badgley. . . ."

I submit this in hopes it may help someone else. My Isaac Badgley
remains an enigma.
