Cemetery inscription states: Co. E. 50 O. V. I. His Death Certificate has his full name as Jackson Badgley, his birth date as Oct. 30, 1830 and age as 82 yrs, 5 mos, 12 days. 10 Oct 98 From John Hutchins, Natick MA at [email protected] "Henry Jackson Badgley, son of William and Lydia, b. 20 Oct. of 1830 in Highland Co, OH; d. at 3 a.m., 12 April 1913 in White Oak Twp, Highland Co., OH and m. 20 Oct. 1850: Rebecca Gray. His death at the age of 82-5-1 was due to 'senility' and he was buried 14 April 1913 in the Mowrystown Cemetery, Mowrystown, Highland Co., OH...Jackson served in the Civil War: E 50 OH Infantry (Invalid cert. #250,813). "Henry Jackson Badgley served for the Union in Co. E, 50 Regiment, Ohio Volunteer Infantry. He enlisted at Camp Dennison, Clermont Co., Ohio, on August 8, 1862, and was mustered into service at Camp Dennison on August 26th as a private. He was age 32 and volunteered for a period of 3 years. On the Company Muster Roll dated Oct. 31, 1862, under "Present or absent" is written, "Not stated." He is marked "Absent" and "Absent without leave" on the Roll dated Nov. & Dec., 1862. Jackson's name appears on the "Muster and Descriptive Roll of a detachment of stragglers forwarded from Columbus, Ohio. Roll dated Columbus, O., Jan. 2 7, 1863." Under remarks: "Missing at start." On the Rolls dated Jan., Feb., Mar., & Apr., 1863, he is marked "Present." Jackson's name appears on a "Descriptive List of Deserters" dated May 31, 1863, Fort Boyl, Kentucky. He had deserted at Fort McAlister, Kentucky, on May 6, 1863. It seems that he sent a letter to the Governor of Ohio apparently regarding his being absent without leave. In his military record is a letter to Jackson from the Governor as follows: "The State of Ohio, Executive Department "Columbus, June 8, 1863 "[to] Mr. Jackson Badgley, Mowrystown, O. "Dear Sir, Yours of the 26th ult. has just this moment met my eye and I have referred it [Gnrl?] Jno. S. Mason of this city, who has command of the Paroled Forces. You should at once report in person at Camp Chase. Truly Yours, [illegible signature], Gov." "Jackson is marked "Present" on the Company Muster Roll dated July & Aug., 1863, and under Remarks: "Deserted May 6, 1863 - Restored to duty through the informality of Court Martial. Returned to Co. Aug. 20, 63." From September, 1863, through December, 1864, Jackson is marked "Present" on the Rolls. He appears on a "Descriptive List of Deserters" dated Mar. 28, 1864, which repeats the information on the list of May 31, 1863, with the added remark: "Returned by Military Authority." "During the months of January, February, March & April, 1865, he is listed as "Absent" serving as a "D. S. Nurse" in the 2nd Division Hospital. Jackson Badgley was mustered out of service at Salisbury, North Carolina, on June 26, 1865. He entered the service with his brother, George Washington Badgley, age 19, and they were mustered out together. ...Military Record, National Archives, Washington, D. C. "The 50th OVI was consolidated with the 99th Ohio on December, 31, 1864.

Van Zant, researcher/compiler) "(From LEVZ) NEWSPAPER ARTICLE of October, 1911: The name "Anna Lance" is written near the top of this article. There are corrections presumably made by Anna Lance, Lidia Ann (Badgley) Lance, daughter of Jackson Badgley & wife of Henry Lance) in the form of erasures and cross-outs. This article was given to me by my grandmother, Mary Belle (Lance) Kier Ware. The article is somewhat confusing. The complete article follows: "SOUTH END "BADGLEY FAMILY NOTED FOR AGES "LONGEVITY OF ANTECEDENTS OF SOUTH END PASTOR "Mr. Badgley's Great-Grandmother Died at Age 115 ---Eldest Child is 60 "The Rev. G. P. Badgley, Pastor of the Musserville Methodist Church, is a member of a remarkable family, a brief chronology of which will prove of interest. Last week, on October 20th, his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Jackson Badgley, celebrated the sixty-first anniversary of their married life, having been united in 1850. "Jackson Badgley was born on October 20, 1830, and his wife, nee Gray, on May 24, 1832. To their union were born nine children, the dates of which follow: William R., December 17, 1851; Henry B., May, 1854; Albert W., August 13, 1856; Lydia A., February 12, 1859; Martha L., September 12, 1861; Julia B., April 20, 1866; Emma F., September 1, 1868; George P., March 20, 1872; Eva L., October 1, 1874. "The father, mother and nine children are all living. William R., the eldest, is 60 years old, and Eva L., the youngest is 37 years old. The children are all married and have families. There are fifty-four grandchildren, and twenty-eight great-grandchildren. Eight of the grandchildren and two of the great-grandchildren died in infancy. "DIED WHEN 115 YEARS OLD... "The grandmother of Mr. Badgley died at the unusual age of 96 years, while the mother of Grandmother Gray succumbed at the remarkable age of about 115 years. Her exact age was never determined, but it has been estimated that her demise occurred while between the ages of 109 and 115 years. The grandmother Badgley died in her eighty-fifth year. Rev. Badgley's mother has a sister living, Mrs. Catherine Stroup, who is 76 years old, and one brother, H. B. Gray, 86 years of age. They are the three remaining of a family of eleven children. "The father of the Rev. Mr. Badgley has two sisters, Mrs. H. B. Gray, 83 years old, and Mrs. John Long, 79 years old, survivors of a family of nine children. They all reside in Highland County, Ohio, with the lone exception of the Rev. Mr. Badgley, who, since having been appointed to the pastorate of the local church, had made his residence in Musserville. "Jackson Badgley served in Company E., of the Fiftieth O. V. I., enlisting August 10, 1862. He was honorably discharged at the close of the war. He served under General Sherman and Captain Guthrie. He was crippled in 1873, the results of which he will carry to his grave." ...Newspaper article from 1911 given to me by my grandmother, Mary Belle (Lance) Kier Ware. NOTE: I don't believe the age of Mrs. John Long (Julia Ann Badgley) in the article is correct. She would have been in her mid-sixties in 1911. ...LEVZ "The injury (mentioned in the preceding article) happened when Jackson was castrating hogs on the farm. The knife slipped and he stabbed himself in the knee. This was told to me by my grandmother, Mary Belle (Lance) Kier Ware, a grand-daughter of Jackson. ...LEVZ The two sisters mentioned in the article, H. B Gray, 83 years old, and Mrs. John Long, 79 years old, "are, respectively, Barbara Ann Badgley, who married Henry Bascomb Gray, and Julia Ann Badgley, who married John Long. Julia's age given as "79 years old" is incorrect. She would have been 63 at the time. I'll bet she loved that when it appeared print! ...LEVZ "Jackson's death record gives his date of birth as October 3 instead of the 20th. I think that the 20th is more likely correct. In the preceding newspaper article, someone, probably Jackson's daughter, Lidia Ann, whose name ("Anna Lance") is written at the top of the article, made corrections in the article but did not change Jackson's date of birth. Surely, if it had not been correct, she would have corrected it. I also think that it is significant that he and Rebecca were married on Sunday, October 20. It was his birthday! Taking Jackson's age at his death and figuring backward, it comes to about Oct 30. However, information from Anne R. Gray seems to settle the matter of his birth as taking place on October 20, 1830. The informant on Jackson's death record is Julia Long, Mowrystown, Ohio. Her middle initial is lost in a blob of ink. "Julia is a sister of Jackson and the wife of John W. Long. Jackson was a widower at his death. ...LEVZ" 19 Oct 98 From Don Stickel: "South-End; Badgley Family Noted For Ages newspaper clipping states: Henry served in Company E of the 50th Ohio Volunteer Infantry (USA) in the War Between the States. He enlisted August 10, 1862. He was honorably discharged at the close of the war. He served under Brigadier General Schofeld, General Sherman and Captain Guthrie. From Rick Carpenter: The 50th Regt. was formed in Aug 1862. In Sep 1862, it went into Kentucky, where it saw action in the Battle of Perryville, 8 Oct 1862. Until Jan 1864, it performed garrison duties in Kentucky and Tennessee. In Jan 1864, it moved to Knoxville, Tennessee, and then joined with Gen. Sherman's army in May 1864. It was finally mustered out of service in Salisbury, North Carolina in Jun 1865. From Anna Kier: He mustered in at Camp Dennison, OH, on the Little Miami River east of Cincinnati. His brother George Washington, was in the same company. His file papers described him as 5 feet 10 inches in height, fair complected, with hazel eyes and light hair." AFN:1SGV-NVJ |
