We have just linked a Thrasher family into our family tree recently.Hamilton Thrasher born about 1820s? andhis wife Nancy Greene had a daughter named Emily born abt 1843 (Emily was the widow of ?? Bates).
Emily married my 2x great grand uncle, John Watson, Jr.
They are from Edwardsburgh/Prescott area and were married at Kemptville on Jan. 1, 1877. (Online transcription of marriage on "Ontario Marriages site" is wrong, John & Emily were 35 & 33 years old and NOT 55 & 53 as shown.
Transcription also shows Emily as the widow "Bales" but the original registration is "Bates"
Perhaps Emily's father Hamilton is related to your "Bazaliel Thrasher"?
I have merely guessed at Hamilton's date of birth, in that he could have been about 20 when his daughter Emily was born........just a wild guess at this point.
