BADGLEY HISTORY from Newark, New Jersey Evening News
July 23 to Nov 11, 1906 by Wheeler Thurston

Family 4

"James (2) Badgley, son of Anthony (1) and Elizabeth Badgley, was born
at Flushing, Long Island, about 1700-5. He moved to the borough of
Elizabeth, NJ and was there married to Hannah, daughter of Joseph Kelsey
of Rahway. Mr. Badgley owned considerable land in Turkey, now called
New Providence, and lived on the road leading down from that place to
Westfield. In his will dated July 7, 1777, he describes himself as
"James Badgley, of the borough of Elizabeth, yeoman, being sick, " etc.
The will was probated November 18, 1777. He names in it his wife Hannah
and five children. His sons James and Joseph had already received their
portions so that Mr. Badgley divided his home plantation and other lands
equally between Anthony and Robert who were appointed executors. James
Badgley died between July 7 and November 18, 1777 and was buried either
at New Providence or Westfield but no headstone marks his grave.

Children of James (2) and Hannah (Kelsey) Badgley: 1. James (3) born
about 172_, married Sarah ---- (see family 9); 2. a daughter who married
Abraham Vreeland; 3 Elizabeth married William Robinson; 4. Joseph (3)
born probably about 1730 married Elizabeth Scudder and died 1785 (see
family 10); 5. Anthony (3) born about 1733, married Anne Woodruff (see
family 11); 6. Marcy married Mr. Garles; 7. Robert (3) married Rachel
Vreeland (see family 12)."
