Ebenezer Badger of Poughkeepsie, NY, was apparently born on 21 February 1747 to John Badger and his wife Abigail, last name unknown, according to Wallingford, Connecticut, Town Records and the Barbour Collection of Connecticut Town Records, located at the Connecticut State Library, Hartford. Ebenezer's father, John Badger, may have been the John, son of Daniel and Tabitha, who was b. Suffield, CT, in 1723, according to the Barbour Collection, and d. Cheshire, CT, in 1782. Ebenezer's grandfather Daniel Badger was b. Newbury, MA, 1684, d. Coventry, CT, 1774, son of John Badger, b. Newbury 1643, d. Newbury 1691, and grandson of Giles Badger, b. Gloucestershire, England, abt 1610, d. Newbury 1647.
In a 1760's New Haven newspaper notice, Ebenezer Badger was identified as the father of the child of an unwed mother in Wallingford. He might have left the jurisdiction and gone west to Poughkeepsie. In the early 1770's, Ebenezer Badger, cordwainer, was listed as a witness to an early New York will. New York colonial and early state records list Ebenezer Badger of Poughkeepsie as a person who refused to sign the Association Test. However, in the next year, he enrolled in the Dutchess County militia.
He is not in my line, and I do not have my records of him at hand. Neither the Badger family history of 1909 or the supplement of 1922 connects him to the line of descent from Giles Badger, but the coincidence of his age at death with Connecticut birth records makes his descent through John and Daniel at least reasonable.
