Commissioned in 1814, he reached Quebec in 1821 and helped found its Literary and Historical Society. His papers described limestone resources and expeditions around the Saguenay and Lac Saint-Jean.

EARLY LIFE
Frederick Henry Baddeley was born on Dec 4, 1794 in London, England. The surviving biographical summary provides only limited evidence about childhood, schooling, and the daily circumstances of the household, so those details are not reconstructed here without documentation. What can be stated securely is that this person belonged to the interconnected family world from which HistoryGPS traces participants, relatives, and later descendants of the Revolutionary generation.
His military service and scientific work belong to the nineteenth century. He contributed observations and research on Canada's geology and natural history.
