Blogger's Notes:
1.  First of all is a new photo, a photograph of the 1863 church in the town of Franklin, Connecticut, the fourth church in the town, which was originally a part of the town of Norwich called the "West Farms."  This was the town to which Nathaniel Badger moved in 1715 and in which he signed a petition to the General Court of New Haven (the colonial legislature) to establish a "society" (a Congregational Church) separate from Norwich.  The legislature assented.  See the 1868 history at OpenLibrary.com, <http://www.archive.org/stream/celebrationofone00firs#page/24/mode/2up>.  According to that history, the Badgers lived north of the church, on the present road to Windham.
2.  Second, I skipped the section concerning Nathaniel Badger, # 34 in John Cogswell Badger's numbering, so I am inserting it at this point.
3.  Third, besides being a petitioner for the town of Franklin, Nathaniel Badger was also a petitioner and selectman for the town of Union in 1734.  His petition is on file in the Connecticut State Library in Hartford.
