You have reached my personal family history site. My primary interests are my Hayes  and Badgley ancestors from Onondaga County, New York and vicinity.  I also  researching my wife's family. A complete list of names I am researching includes:  
 ALDEN, BADGLEY, BARLOW, BATES, BOGARDUS, BOOM, BRYANT, CARLSON, CARNEY, CHAPMAN,  CLARKE, COLLINS, CUMMINGS, DITCH, DONAVAN, FISH, FLORING, FROST, GUION, HAIGHT,  HAYES, HOYT, HYLANDER, KELSO, LEE, LITTLE, McCORMICK, McKENNA, MILLER, MULLINS,  NOYES, OBERG, PABODIE, PIERPONT, ROSENBERG, RYDER, SEALANDER, SHERWOOD, ST. JOHN,  STRAIT, WALSH, WELCH, WHITBREAD, WRIGHT
  
 I am currently most interested in the Irish origins of my Hayes ancestory. Cornelius  Hayes was born about 1815 in Ireland, and died after June 8, 1875.  He was listed in  the 1875 New York State census living with his son James F. Hayes. (birth and death  dates conjectural based on this census record.) He married Margaret Donovan.  She was  born in Ireland, and probably died before June 1875. She was not listed in the 1875  census with her husband.
  
 I am also seeking information on Elizabeth Ryder (1792-1862), married to Egbert  Badgley (1789-1836). Looking for her birthplace (Ulster County but exact location  unknown) and his military records (War of 1812).
