Shelia:
I tried to contact you directly, apparently, my email address for you is out of date. I am confused and I’m not sure if I’m reading your post correctly.
You say; >> Joseph Laurence/Lawrence/Laurance) Badger was born in Petersburg, VA. And that he is listed in the 1850 NC census as age 30 and consequently in the 1860 NC census listed him as age 32 so he was probably born in the 1820s. His father was Joseph Badger of Petersburg, VA. One of his brother's was William Haines Badger, from whom I am descended. Their grandfather was also the Joseph Badger who died in Petersburg, VA in 1803. He (Laurence's grandfather) was a painter, glazier, and a coach maker. The first record I can find of him in VA is in 1786. <<
Questions:
1. Joseph Lawrence is listed in the 1850 NC Census as 30 years of age and in the 1860 Census, 32. There is a difference of eight years, how could this be the same person? Or, is it a typo?
2. Joseph Lawrence and William Haines are brothers? How is that?
3. You indicate that the Grandfather, Joseph Badger, painter, glazer and coach maker died in Petersburg, VA in 1803. How does this balance with the death record of Joseph Badger, b. 1736, and died according to the City Gazette and Daily Advertiser, Charleston, S.C., 27 Sept. 1800, compiled by Jennie H. Register, South Carolina Historical and Genealogical Magazine, Vol, XXVI, p. 170-171?. Have you discovered a new son of Joseph named Joseph?
4. According to the 1922 Supplemental to Giles Badger and his Descendants, John Cogswell Badger, page 116, I.D.#475, there is a Daniel Badger, b. 19 Oct 1786 in Charleston, S.C., son of James Badger and Elizabeth Swint, who reportedly had a son by the name of Lawrence who resided in “VA or NC“ (indicating some lack of certainty). But this only opens the door to the origin of the Joseph that died in Petersburg. Worse, he could not have a more common given name. This previous is reported by the reliable Rev. Joseph Samuel Murrow to John Cogswell Badger by letter, son of Mary Amelia Badger and John Murrow, she is the daughter of (Perhaps) Jonathan Badger and Mary Amelia Dorthea Haunbaum, who may descend from Joseph Badger and Rhonda Cox.
You may contact me directly if you choose.
