Migration of the Baddee family

Many English families tired of political and religious strife left Britain for the new colonies in North America. Although the trip itself offered no relief - conditions on the ships were extremely cramped, and many travelers arrived diseased, starving, and destitute - these immigrants believed the opportunities that awaited them were worth the risks. Once in the colonies, many of the families did indeed prosper and, in turn, made significant contributions to the culture and economies of the growing colonies. An inquiry into the early roots of North American families has revealed a number of immigrants bearing the name Baddee or a variant listed above: Ashwell Batty, who sailed to Virginia in 1653; James Batty, who came to America in 1773; Patrick and Nancy Baty, who arrived in Oswegatchie, New York in 1823.
