WILLIAMS Orlando Bagley, a veteran of the American Revolution, lived in Brooklyn Township, Susquehanna County, Pennsylvania, for nearly fourteen years. He died outside the boundaries of this Commonwealth and therefore his name has not been recorded in any list of Revolutionary War soldiers who lived in Pennsylvania. His name is not engraved on the bronze tablet in the Court House in Montrose erected to commemorate those soldiers who lived in Susquehanna County. Neither does his name appear in any of the printed histories of the same County nor in the records of the Montrose Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution, Orlando Bagley served as a private in Captain Matthias Hoit's Company which matched at the first alarm on 19 April 1775 to Lexington and Concord and served nine days. He also served under Captain Jonas Kidder in Colonel Moses Nichols' New Hampshire Militia raised to join the Continental Army at West Point in 1780. 2 This service in the War has been accepted by the National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution for his proven descendants? Orlando Bagley was born 30 May 1755 in Amesbury, Essex County, Massachusetts, a son of Henry and Lydia (Weed) Bagley: , He was the sixth generation of the Bagley surname to live in New England. His immigrant ancestor, also named Orlando Bagley, came from Ipswich, Old England, but the ancestral home was the town of Baggiley. Cheshire, where the family had lived for several centuries and for whom the town was named. The immigrant ancestor was in Boston, Massachusetts4 as early as 1650, where he was married. Soon he moved with his family to Ames3 4 The Pennsylvania Genealogical Magazine bury, Massachusetts, where his descendants lived for many years. The descent from the immigrant is: Orlando-1-2-3-Henry-4-5 and Orlando-6, our subject. , Orlando Bagley was twenty-four years old when he left permanently his native home of Amesbury, and moved with his parents and other families of Amesbury to Weare, Hillsboro County, New Hampshire. This was his home for ten years, and five of his children were born in Weare. , In 1788, Orlando Bagley purchased land in Hartland, Windsor County, Vermont, where his parents died. , Orlando Bagley is enumerated here in the Federal Census of 1790. , Orlando Bagley came to Brooklyn, Susquehanna County, with his family in March, 1804. His son Jesse, at the age of eighty-five years, wrote of this trip: "We started on Tuesday, and were two Sundays on the road. It was in March, and the snow in some places was nearly five feet in depth. We settled on the hill east of what is now Mack's Corners. We went to Tunkhannock and Wilkes-Barre for store goods, to Horton's [Nicholson, Pa.] and Tunkhannock to mill, and to Hyde's, at the forks of the Wyalusing, to our post-office. Esquire Hinds, only, lived where Montrose Orlando Bagley had a deed from John B. Wallace, land agent, on 10 November 1807, for fifty acres of land in what is now Brooklyn Township, which was free from incumbrance, for 5150.00) , Coming approximately at this time from Hartland, Vermont, to Brooklyn, Pennsylvania, were Barnard Worthing, whose first wife was Dorothy Bagley, a sister of Orlando Bagley, and also natives of Amesbury; Sargent Tewksbury and family, natives of Amesbury, the former a son-in-law of Barnard Worthing; Captain Charles Gere; and Josiah Lord) , Orlando Bagley was married in Amesbury to Dorms Taylor, about 1778. Unfortunately neither the marriage nor the intention to marry was recorded and it is quite impossible to identify the parents or birthplace of Dorcas. The Bagley genealogy recently published by Dr. Norton R. Bagley of Plymouth, New Hampshire, states that Dorcas was a Sargent) , This he possibly copied from the Sargent genealogy.' , There are good arguments for so naming her. Isaac Tewksbury, native of Amesbury, neighbor of the Bagleys in Hartland and who followed the Bagleys to Brooklyn, Pennsylvania, was married to Judith Sargent. The History of Brooklyn by Weston states that Orlando Bagley married Dolly (or Dorcas) Taylor) , Since Mr. Weston knew these people well, it can be safely assumed that Taylor is correct. The Dorms (Sargent) Bagley living in Hartland, Vermont, consort of an Orlando Bagley and perhaps sister of Judith (Sargent) Tewksbury, died 7 January 1790)6 However Orlando Bagley brought his wife, Dorms, with him to Brooklyn, and she was his only wife. Orlando Bagley and his wife, Dorms, had a large family. Nine of their children were in Brooklyn, Pennsylvania, at one time. At least two of their children did not come to Brooklyn with their parents and several children died in infancy. Perhaps the number can be fixed at thirteen children. Of their sons, Jesse and Stephen had deeds to land in Brooklyn from John B. Wallace before 1810 and these deeds are Orlando Bagley 5 recorded in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania. After 1825, Thomas, Washington and Charles G. Bagley also owned land in Susquehanna County. Miss Blackman states: "Orlando Bagley, wife, four sons, and three daughters came on ox and horse sleds from Hartland. Windsor County, Vermont."" There have been descendants of Orlando Bagley living continuously in Susquehanna County since March, 1804, and those in the County now are becoming keenly aware of their heritage. Orlando and Dorms Bagley were baptized and joined the Methodist Episcopal Church in Brooklyn. Their children likewise followed them into membership in the same Church. The names of Orlando and Dorcas Bagley and many of their children appear on the Rev. Edward Paine's Methodist Class list in Brooklyn for 1811... The Rev. Dr. George Peck in his book Early Methodism speaks kindly of 'Uncle Bagley'... He was pious, kind and good, tender-hearted and humble. The family walked at night several times a week from their home at Mack's Corners to Brooklyn to attend Class Meeting. As they walked they sang Methodist hymns. This Church in Brooklyn grew rapidly. Dr. Peck laments that the departure of the Bagleys to Ohio greatly diminished the Brooklyn Church... The History of Brooklyn states that Orlando Bagley had two sons who were soldiers in the War of 1812: Jesse Bagley and Thomas Bagley... He had at least six grandsons with the surname of Bagley who were soldiers in the Civil War. Of these, two brothers made the supreme sacrifice: John W. Bagley and James Everett Bagley. In the fall of 1817, Orlando and Dorcas Bagley and some of their children, together with other families of Brooklyn, migrated to Delaware County, Ohio. They settled in that part of Delaware County which after 1 April 1820 was Union County, and in that particular area which became Union Township. Union County, Ohio, was created by an act in the General Assembly of Ohio and was made up of land taken from Delaware, Franklin, Madison and Logan counties and a portion of a section known as "Old Indian Territory," In 1820 Union County was divided into three townships, Darby.. Millcreek and Union. Later these townships were subdivided into the present fourteen townships... Marysville is the County Seat. The Union County Historical Society located there had no record of Orlando Bagley and his family. The records in the Delaware County Court House were destroyed by fire many years ago and all records of any deed recorded there in the Bagley name were lost, hampering this research greatly... Orlando Bagley sold his land in Brooklyn, Pennsylvania, on 7 October 1817 to Ebenezer Gere of Preston, New London County, Connecticut, for $600.00. , This proved to be a disastrous move for the Bagleys, for in Ohio at that time there were periodic epidemics of the ague. After about five years in Ohio, the older people and some of the younger ones were dead, victims of the ague which struck the old as well as the young. This is the way Orlando and Dorcas Bagley, their son, Stephen, and daughter, Dorms, met their death. They are buried somewhere in that section of 6 The Pennsylvania Genealogical Magazine Union County which once comprised the large territory of Union Township. So far their gravestones have not been located, though a strenuous attempt to do so has been made. , The Ohio State Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution has published a list of all soldiers of the Revolutionary War buried within the State, but the name of Orlando Bagley is not fisted. ,, This seems to show that the identity of Orlando Bagley has been lost to the present historians of the State of Ohio. Therefore Orlando Bagley, having lived in five States of the United States for a considerable length of time, has not been duly honored by any of them for his service in the War for American Independence. Part of this is due to the fact that until rather recently it was almost impossible to follow his migration. The availability of the Federal Census Records to the public for personal study has helped to locate these Bagleys. The 1820 Federal Census for Ohio shows that Orlando, Jesse, Stephen and Thomas Bagley as heads of families were living in Union Township. Union County. Stephen Bagley had sold his land in Brooklyn in 1814 and may have gone to Ohio about that time, then returned to Brooklyn to encourage the others to follow him. Some of the family of Orlando Bagley followed their parents to Ohio after 1817, but most of them had left Ohio by 1824 in order to escape the ague. Some of these returned to Brooklyn and others went on further west and have not been located for this research. None of this Bagley family appears in the 1830 Federal Census for Ohio. 27 Letters of Administration were issued on 30 November 1821 to Jesse Bagley on the estate of Orlando Bagley, deceased, in the Court of Common Pleas for Union County, Ohio. An inventory was filed in April 1822 which totaled $199.64. The estate was settled in the April Term of Court in 1824. 28 Unfortunately in this meager account there is no mention of his wife or children, nothing which will help to add information to this family. In 1938 a memorial tablet was placed in the Westside Cemetery, Brooklyn, Pennsylvania, by Dr. William Richardson Bagley of Duluth, Minnesota, in appreciation of his heritage. The granite stone with bronze tablet is on the Jesse Bagley lot and gives a fine tribute to Orlando and Dorcas Bagley. Attorney William P. Brewster of Kingston, Luzerne County, Pennsylvania, an eminent historian of the Wyoming Valley, and great grandson of Orlando Bagley, at that time prepared a genealogy of the Bagley family. It was in manuscript form and not distributed. This was destroyed in the June flood of 1972 and valuable information on the descendants of Orlando Bagley was lost? , The following information about the children of Orlando and Dorms (Taylor) Bagley is available at present: i. Winthrop Bagley, the oldest child, was born II May 1779 in Weare, New Hampshire.. He apparently remained in New Hampshire and may be the man who was living in Candia, New Hampshire, at the time of the 1810 Federal Census. Na further attempt has been made to locate him or his descendants. Orlando Bagley 2. 7 ii. Betsey L. Bagley was born 14 January/ 1781 in Weare, 51 and came to Brooklyn with her parents, in 1804, where she was married about 1806 (no record found) to Lyman Saunders, a son of Joshua and Mary (Taylor) Saunders. Lyman Saunders had come to Brooklyn with his parents from Charlestown, Rhode Island, in 1801. Lyman and Betsey Saunders sold land in Waterford (as Brooklyn was then known) 7 October 1817 to the Rev. Edward Paine, and moved to Ohio, with their parents.. In the 1810 Federal Census they had two small daughters, but their names have not been found. Lyman Saunders was dead before the Federal Census of 1820 in Ohio, as Betsey L. Saunders is listed as a widow and head of a family with small children. She did not return to Brooklyn, but was out of Ohio before 1830. 31 iii. Thomas Bagley born 3 May 1784 in Weare,° and died a child. iv. lessee Bagley born 21 April 1786 in Weare, 11 and married Phally Saunders. v. Francis Bagley is listed sometimes as a son of Orlando Bagley, but no information can be found about him. He is reported to have been born in Weare, in 1788. He did not come to Brooklyn at any time.. vi. Stephen Bagley's birth is not recorded in Weare, or in Hartland, Vermont, with the other children of Orlando Bagley. He was born about 1790, and came with his parents to Brooklyn, where he was married about 1809 to Mary Saunders. daughter of Joshua and Mary (Taylor) Saunders. She was born in Charlestown, Rhode Island, and came to Brooklyn with her parents in 1801. He purchased land at Mack's Corners, west of his father's farm, and this he sold on 5 April 1814 to Captain Stephen Williams of Groton, New London County, Connecticut, for $510. 11 He probably went directly to Ohio, but had returned to Brooklyn in the fall of 1817 when he and his wife witnessed the deed of sale of the farm of Orlando Bagley. According to the Federal Census, he must have had a family but no trace of any of them has been found and they did not return to Brooklyn. vii. Thomas Waldo Bagley was born 14 March 1792 in Hartland, and died there 4 April 1792.. viii. Dorcas Bagley was born 24 February 1793 in Hartland,. She was unmarried in 1817 when she went to Ohio with her parents. Tradition in the family through the years is that she and her parents all died at the same time of the ague. ix Thomas Bagley (again) was born 10 March 1794 in Hartland.. He married Abiah Lane. a. Dorothy Bagley was born 19 July 1797 in Hartland,° and died 19 April 1885 in Brooklyn, where she is buried.. She was married 30 July 1816 in Brooklyn by the Rev. Elisha Bibbins. to Benjamin Sheffield Saunders, a son of Joshua and Mary (Taylor) Saunders.. He was born ca. 1794, in Charlestown, Rhode Island, and died 8 February 1859 in Brooklyn, aged 64 years.. They had seven daughters and three sons in that order. "Aunt Dolly," as she was known generally, carried her first child, Lydia Weed Saunders, at the age of six weeks, to Ohio on a pillow. Her second child, Ruth, was born in Ohio, and the rest of the children were born in Brooklyn, where they returned in 1822. Two of her sons died in infancy and her youngest son, Perry Duward Saunders, was killed 6 May 1864 in the Civil War, in the Battle of the Wilderness, serving in Company F, 141st Regiment, Pennsylvania Volunteers Infantry. He was accident& shot from the 8 3. 4. 5. The Pennsylvania Genealogical Magazine Union Side in the confusion of the Battle.. His mother was a pensioner on her son's service. xi. Charles George Bagley born It July 1799 in Hartland, ,, He was commonly called George Bagley, which has caused some confusion in the listing of the children of Orlando Bagley. He married Phebe Lawrence. xii. Washington Bagley born 24 January 1802 in Hartland.. He married Lydia Morgan Williams. tn. Sally Bagley born ea. 1804 in Brooklyn, Pennsylvania. She went to Ohio with her parents and returned to Brooklyn ca. 1824, where she was married about 1826, to Luke A. Williams, son to Latham and Lucy (Stanton) Williams. Luke A. Williams was born ca. 1802 in Groton, New London County, Connecticut, and died 6 September 1829 in Brooklyn.° They had one child: Henry Mason Williams, who was born the year his father died. He married Lurana N. Saunders, daughter to Aaron and Polly (Crandall) Saunders." Sally (Bagley) Williams does not appear as head of a family in the Federal Census for 1830. Latham Williams was appointed administrator of his son's estate 20 August 1832.. There is no mention of the widow of Luke A. Williams and no renunciation was signed by her. Washington Bagley, "uncle and next of kin," requested that Orphans Court of Susquehanna County appoint a guardian for Henry Mason Williams, aged three years, son of Luke A. Williams, deceased, 'late of Brooklyn Township.' There is no mention of Sally at this time. Therefore it can be safely assumed that she was dead prior to 30 April 1832.. I. Jesse Bagley, son of Orlando and Dorcas Bagley, was born 21 April 1786 and died 30 November 1874 in Lanesboro, Susquehanna County, in his 89th year.. He was married 3 January 1808. in Brooklyn, by the Rev. Edward Paine, to Phally Saunders, a daughter of Joshua and Mary (Taylor) Saunders. She was born 19 September 1789 in Charlestown, Rhode Island, and died II April 1845 5, in Brooklyn. She came with her parents to Brooklyn, in 1801. They went to Ohio in 1817, but returned to Brooklyn in 1824. Jesse Bagley was a soldier in the War of 1812 and performed a tour of duty which included the period 3 November to 29 November 1814, as a First Sergeant, Captain Frederick Bailey's Company detached from the 129th Regiment, 2nd Brigade, 9th Division, Pennsylvania Militia, under Colonel James Montgomery, and discharged at Danville, Pa. 55 He had previously served in the Pennsylvania Militia under Colonel Thomas Parke of Springville Township, Susquehanna County.. Jesse Bagley was a shoemaker, hotel keeper and school teacher, as a wood chopper, he helped to clear much of the farm land around Brooklyn.. After the death of his wife, Jesse Bagley left Brooklyn, and lived in Carbondale, Mauch Chunk and Laneshero, but is buried with his wife and family in Brooklyn. They had thirteen children: i. Henry W. Bagley born in 1808 in Brooklyn. He was married before 1840 to Mary Skidmore, a daughter to Joseph and Thirza (Noble) Skidmore.. They had an infant son enumerated in the 1840 Federal Census in Brooklyn. In 1889 Henry W. Bagley was living in Hyde Park (now Scranton), Pa.. No further research on this family has been undertaken. ii. Daniel Boone Bagley born 30 May 1809 in Brooklyn; married Sally Fish. iii. Alice L. Bagley born in 1810 in Brooklyn, and married there to Samuel L. Kellam, a son to Elisha and Fannie (Bush) Kellam.. They moved to Carbondale, Pa.

Bagley born 16 January 1814 in Brooklyn, and died there 27 July 1814.. vi. Edward Paine Bagley born ca. 1816 in Brooklyn, married Elmira Barnes. vii. Horace Bagley born ca, 1818 in Union County, Ohio.; married 4 November 1841. Ann Adams in Brooklyn, Pa. She was a daughter of Walter and Anna (Ring) Adams.. He left Brooklyn and was in Carbondale for a time. No attempt has been made to locate his descendants. Mary Eliza Bagley born 17 January 1824 in Union County, Ohio, and died viii. 19 September 1849 in Carbondale, at the residence of Samuel Yeomans. She was unmarried and buried with her parents in Brooklyn.. Her obituary appeared in the Carbondale Democrat: "In Carbondale, Monday 19th inst. at the residence of Samuel Yeomans, Mary Eliza Bagley, aged 26 years. The deceased was a resident of Brooklyn, Susquehanna County. She had been spending some months with friends in Mauch Chunk, but nearly despairing of recovery from an attack of consumption which had insidiously sapped her health and strength—was on her way to her former home in Brooklyn in the hope of at least reaching her parental roof." Before the death above mentioned, Samuel Yeomans had married Anna (Ring) Adams, the widow of Walter Adams of Brooklyn.. in. Jesse Harrison Bagley born ca. 1826 in Brooklyn. He married Ann Weston in Brooklyn, a daughter of Samuel and Eliza (Baker) Weston... Harrison Bagley served in the Civil War, and was in Carbondale in 1889. , No War or Pension record for him was found in Washington, D.C.

Bagley who lived in Elmira from 1866 to 1915 and was a blacksmith, and living near him were Jacob and Jesse Bagley, machinists." No further research was attempted. xi. Lucy Caroline Bagley born 2 October 1830 in Brooklyn, and died 2 April 1849 in Mauch Chunk (now Jim Thorpe), Pa. where she is buried. She was unmarried. Her obituary was brief: "In Mauch Chunk on Monday 2nd inst. Miss Lucy C., daughter of Jesse Bagley, late of Brooklyn, this county, aged 18 years and 6 months."" xii. John W. Bagley born ca. 1832 in Brooklyn, married Rebecca Jane Babcock. xiii. James Everett Bagley born ca. 1836 in Brooklyn, married Caroline E. Monk. 10 10. The Pennsylvania Genealogical Magazine 2. Thomas Bagley, son of Orlando and Dorcas Bagley, was born 10 March 1794 in Hartland, Vermont. He was a soldier in the War of 1812 and served as a private in the same Company and Regiment and for the same length of time as his brother, Jesse Bagley." He married in Springville, Susquehanna County, to Abiah Lane who was the eleventh child of Gershom Flagg and Lydia (Thomas) Lane. She was born 29 September 1794 and her father was a veteran of the American Revolution.. Thomas and Abiah Bagley lost a child in 1819 who is buried in Springville Township, so probably they did not go to Ohio until the spring of 1819. They were in Ohio at the time of the 1820 Federal Census, and in Springville Township again in 1824. He was a farmer in Auburn Township, Susquehanna County, for many years, and listed in the 1850 Federal Census there. Thomas Bagley was appointed by the Orphans Court in Montrose, in 1826, guardian for Maria Bagley, a minor who was over fourteen years of age." She has not been identified, but possibly she may have been a niece of Thomas, a child whose parents may have died in Ohio or elsewhere. Thomas and Abiah Bagley were deeply religious, "being remarkable for their piety and power in religious exhortation and able to quote Scripture at They organized the Craig Hill M. E. Church in Auburn Township and he was the Class Leader for many years." Thomas and Abiah Bagley had seven children of whom there is record ,. 1. Julia E.

He was married after his return from Ohio, to Phebe Lawrence, daughter of William and Amy Lawrence of Brooklyn.. Amy Lawrence died 7 March 1827 in Brooklyn, aged 42 years." Phebe Lawrence was born ca. 1805, according to the Federal Census. In 1831, they owned land in Springville Township; in 1834, land in Dimock Township; in 1840, they were enumerated in the Federal Census in Brooklyn Township; in 1850, they were enumerated in the Federal Census in Springville Township and at that time the following children were in their family: i.

The Pennsylvania Genealogical Magazine 1. Edward Paine Bagley, son of Jesse and Phally Bagley, was born ca. 1816 in Brooklyn. He would certainly have been named for the Rev. Edward Paine, the pioneer Methodist Episcopal minister in Brooklyn, who so greatly influenced the religious life of the Bagley family. The Rev. Paine was born 8 February 1777 in Pomfret, Windham County, Connecticut, and came to Brooklyn from Canterbury, Connecticut. He traveled with Dr. George Peck as a 'circuit rider' and on his way to Conference, he was drowned 8 July 1820 while bathing in the Susquehanna, below Owego. He was brought back to Brooklyn and buried in the Westside Cemetery... Weston states that Edward P. Bagley and Dr. Comfort Carey Worthing, when boys in 1830, built the fires in the Brooklyn school houses for the ashes. These they sold to the local ashery and had money enough to buy school books... Edward P. Bagley was a soldier in the Civil War in Company H, 177th Regiment Infantry. Neither he nor his wife were pensioners. He was married to Elmira Barnes and if he is the 'Edwin' Bagley living in Lenox Township, Susquehanna County, and enumerated in the Federal Census for 1840, he had other children besides the one son given here. In 1870 and 1880, he was enumerated in the Federal Census in Lanesboro. i. Daniel Boone Bagley 2nd born 12 September 1844 in Harford, Susquehanna County, married Mary E. Jay. 8. John W. Bagley, son of Jesse and Phally Bagley, was born ca. 1832 in Brooklyn and was killed 19 June 1863, in the Civil War, at Fairfax Seminary, Virginia. He was aged about 30 years and is buried in Alexandria. He served in Company B, 17th Pennsylvania Cavalry, and was mustered in 15 September 1862 at Montrose, Pa.., He was married 4 March 1855, in Jackson, Susquehanna County, by the Rev. R. B. Lamb, in the home of Albert Babcock, to Rebecca Jane Babcock, who died after April 1920 in Jamestown, Chautauqua County, New York, aged over 85 years. She was married second, 18 September 1867, by Rev. Luther Peck, to George H. Stark; and married third, 23 January 1870, in Thompson, Susquehanna County, to Silas A. Spencer. She survived her three husbands, Silas Spencer having died 20 February 1920 at Jamestown, N.Y... The pension file of John W. Bagley lists the following children: i. Horace D. Bagley born 26 February 1857, living in Jamestown, N.Y., in 1920. John L. Bagley born 28 February 1859, living in Jamestown, N.Y., in 1920. iii Cassius M.

James Everett Bagley, son of Jesse and Phally Bagley, was born ca. 1836 in Brooklyn and was killed 2 October 1864, in action near Poplar Grove Church, Virginia, in the Civil War.

John Worthington Warner born 27 March 1924. ,4 Mr. Weston wrote that the Bagleys were ardent Democrats. Jesse Bagley and his eight sons; Washington and Charles Bagley; the Hewitts of Brooklyn; Major Seth Bisbee and the numerous Lord families of Lathrop (also voting in Brooklyn) and others were generally able to win most elections in Brooklyn for the Democrats. The 1840 and 1844 Presidential Campaigns were recalled and the excitement the elections produced. The Democrats dressed up farm wagons with banners carefully lettered by Daniel B. Bagley Sr., and rode into town producing no little consternation to the Whigs. ,43 Apparently then as now, political rallies and fervent speeches by both parties answered as part of the community entertainment. The author earnestly hopes that a permanent record of Orlando Bagley will be indelibly written in the annals of the history of our Country. Orlando Bagley 17 NOTES Massachusetts Revolutionary War Rolls, Vol. 1, 65. , New Hampshire Revolutionary War Rolls, Hammond's Vol. 24, 140, DAR Patriot Index (Washington, 1966), 27. 4 Amesbury.

Betsey L. (Bagley) Saunders was listed on page 159. and she had five daughters under 16 years. Thomas Bagley, p. 162, had two daughters under 10 years. Jesse H. Bagley was in Carbondale at the time of the 1860 Federal Census. He was aged 34 years, a blacksmith; wife Ann E., aged 32 years; three sons: Oscar W., 12 years; Francis, 10 years; Eugene, 7 years. He appears again in the 1880 Census in the same place and with them is Grace W. Bagley. 9 years, granddaughter. In 1860, Oscar was given as born in New York State. In 1860, Grace states that her father was born in New York. In the 1880 Federal Census, Charles L. Bagley, 31 years, born Pennsylvania, with wife, Orinda, 38 years, soil, Clarence, 4 years, and brother, Thomas S. Bagley, 19 years, appear in Washington Township, Wyoming County, Pennsylvania. These probably would be Charles Lyman Bagley and Thomas Sheffield Bagley, sons of James H. and Emeline (Saunders) Bagley, see 10.i and ii above. Also in 1880, Adelbert Bagley, 30 years, born in Pennsylvania, with wife, Lizzie, 26 years, and daughter, Maud, 6 years, lived in Susquehanna Borough, Susquehanna County. He could possibly be a son of Edward Paine Bagley and Elmira (Barnes) Bagley, see 7. above. The Society's Reference Guides for Course in Genealogical Methods, compiled by Hannah Benner Roach and Rev.
