I have a copy of Berkshire Overseers Papers CD from Berks FHS and a John Badcock was Overseer for the Parish of Shrivenham in 1784.
"Date: 15 Dec 1784 Bond of Churchwardens Edward Butler and John Costar and Overseers John Badcock and Amariah Fairthorne of Shrivenham Berkshire in sum of £40 to Churchwardens and Overseers of Wantage the condition being that Mary Hoarman, singlewoman late of Shrivenham but now of Wantage on oath before JP Rev Barfoot Colman declared that she was with child and that Richard Holliday, of Denchworth did beget the said child. The above bound Churchwardens and Overseers will provide for the child."
That is the only entry for John. Other Badcocks appear in the index - let me know if you'd like any more!
