Joseph Badger (ca. 1707–1765) was a portrait artist in Boston, Massachusetts, in the 18th century. He was born in Charlestown, Massachusetts, to tailor Stephen Badger and Mercy Kettell. He "began his career as a house-painter and glazier, and ... throughout his life continued this work, besides painting signs, hatchments and other heraldic devices, in order to eke out a livelihood when orders for portraits slackened."〔Lawrence Park. (Joseph Badger (1708-1765) ): and a descriptive list of some of his works. 1918〕 In 1731 he married Katharine Felch; they moved to Boston around 1733. He was a member of the Brattle Street Church.〔 He died in Boston in May, 1765, when "taken with an apoplectic fit as he was walking in his garden, and expired in a few minutes after."〔Boston Evening Post, 05-13-1765; p.3.〕 Works by Badger are in the collections of the Worcester Art Museum, the Museum of Fine Arts Boston, and Historic New England's Phillips House, Salem, Mass. ==Portrait subjects== *James Bowdoin (1676–1747), father of Massachusetts governor James Bowdoin〔 *Elizabeth Campbell, wife of William Foye *William Cooper (1716–1743), pastor of the Brattle St. Church, Boston *Andrew Croswell (1709–1785), pastor of King's Chapel, Boston *Thomas Cushing (1696–1746), speaker of the Massachusetts House of Representatives, and father of Thomas Cushing *Thomas Dawes *Jonathan Edwards〔(Yale Bulletin ). 2003〕 *William Foye *Esther Orne Gardner (ca. 1714-1755)〔(Smithsonian )〕 *Ellis Gray (1715–1753), pastor of Old North Church, Boston *John Haskins (1729–1814), grandfather of Ralph Waldo Emerson *John Homans (1753–1800), doctor *Joseph Jackson (1707–1790) *John Larrabee (1686–1792), commanding officer of Castle William, Massachusetts〔〔(Worcester Art Museum )〕 *Rev.
