I have been...I agree with your conclusions on this. I have been looking at records for the Badger family, and I came to the same conclusion. There are different records that link Ellen/Nellie to both the Lathrop and the Badger families. I recently came across this posting by someone else: <br />"Parish Badger, 1867 report of death<br />Badger13Peter (View posts)Posted:01 Feb 2011 03:28PM Classification: Death Surnames: Badger, Osgood Ancestry.com just listed a report of death of Parish Badger. "1867 Department of State, Washington, April 2nd<br />Information has been received at this Department from Mr. Thomas T. Gamble, the Vice Consul of the United States at Panama, of the death on the 8th of March last, on board of the the P.M.C. S.S. Co's Steamship "Montana" of Parish Badger, of New Hampshire." He was born in Gilmanton, New Hampshire, in 1794; married Nancy Osgood in 1825; raised 9 children in New Hampshire and Vermont, the youngest born in 1844; joined the Gold Rush and was enumerated on the 1850 U.S. Census in El Dorado County, California; and was listed on the Great Register of San Francisco as a silverplater in 1866."<br />Apparently when Parish left for California before 1850 some of the children (Ellen being the youngest one, born in 1844, mentioned above)were sent off to live with different people, for I found several of them living with other families, while a couple of the daughters stayed with the mother Nancy. Ellen/Nellie was not on the 1850 or 1860 census with her mother, but there was a Nellie Lathrop listed with Chauncy Lathrop in Chelsea, VT on the 1850 and 1860 censuses. Perhaps, though, Ellen had been able to keep in contact with her mother Nancy Osgood Badger and knew who her birth parents were, and that could explain why some records listed the Lathrops as her parents, while other records listed the Badgers as her parents.
