“ORLANDO BAGLEY, the pioneer ancestor of the Bagley family of Worcester, Massachusetts, was born in England, as near as can be ascertained, between 1624 and 1630. He came to America some time before 1653, as it is recorded that he was married at that time in Salisbury, probably of that part of the town which is now Amesbury, Massachusetts. He removed to Boston soon afterward, as some of his children were born there. He was made a freeman in 1667, admitted to the church, and is believed to have died in Boston before 1700. He married Sarah Colby, the daughter of Anthony Colby — the first Colby to come to America — by whom he had five children, the second child named Orlando.”

Very interesting. The surname Mack got Americanized to Macke and later McKee. My grandfather was Earnest R. McKee of Seminary, MS. I’ve tracked his family directly back to John Mack and to Orlando and even Hammon de Baguely. It appears that I am a direct descendant several hundred years later!
I am a Lyme resident. In 1690 Sarah Bagley Mack and her husband John Mack moved to Lyme and settled on the Ct. River. The site of the original farm is located on a large tract of land which has survived essentially intact as a private estate. The farm itself was abandoned by the early 19th century. I excavated what remained and found artifacts I can directly attribute to the family. I will be glad to share photos of these artifacts to any Colby, Bagley, or Mack descendent interested. Regards, Chuck
Thanks Chuck, that is very interesting. I have enjoyed the times in my life when I volunteered to help archaeologists.
Thank you. I figured out that Orlando was not the son of John Bagley and Warren. I think, though, that he is somehow related to Bigelow family. My direct ancestor was Ebenezer Bagley, son of David. I can find several Ebenezer Bigelows but not in the Bagley family. There are also many Brownes that married Bigelows. My direct ancestor, David Bagley married Margaret Browne. (NH).
I get many dna matches to Bigelow as well as Bagley.
I know this is confusing, but i am hoping someone can shed some light on this.
My best guess is that Orlando was a brother or cousin to John Biglo.

Hello, Ruth. I am a Bagley, Orlando is my 11th GGrandfather. According to birth and death records John Bagley and Mary Sara Warren are his parents, for starters. The confusion with relatives and who is who in the Bagley family is directly related to incest.
I am a direct descendent of Orlando Bigelow/Bagley I (he’s my 11th great grandfather) and his parents are in fact John Bagley and Mary Sara Warren according to the entire family and birth/death records.
