OUR ANCESTRY.

EDENIC lore gives us no clue
To our ancestral tree;
The drowsy Sphinx is silent, too,
Regarding pedigree.

In ancient and medieval ages,

With motto — might is right,
In vain we search historic pages,

And get but little light.

We rest upon our English tree:

Stephen, a stalwart oak —
An early plant of history —

Refused the Bishop's yoke.

And sailed to the new-born western world,

Transplanted the family tree;
The ancestral banner here unfurled,

And hence our pedigree.

AUTHOR'S PREFACE.

THE object of the publication of this book is to preserve in a per-
manent form the historical and genealogical data of the Batch-
elder (however spelled) family in America. Quite a little
information has been published at various times in the histories
of New England towns, but no attempt at a complete compilation has
been previously made. There were a number of emigrant ancestors
to this country prior to 1700 — a few were related, others were not.
There is but little doubt but that the family was of Norman extrac-
tion, and went into England at an early day, where the name has
been variously spelled. The first record we have is of Gilbert le
Bachler, who paid tillage in Normandy in 1195; from that time until
the present his descendants and relations have spelled the name in no
less '^than forty-four different ways, and on this account it has been
quite difficult to trace the families in all their peregrinations.

The arrangement of the matter is similar to that of my former pub-
lications (the Whitney and Fiske Genealogies). Being the simplest,
it is therefore the easiest to trace. I take this opportunity to thank
all those who have so kindly assisted me in the compilation of this
work. My thanks are particularly due to Geo. Clinton Batcheller,
of New York City, who has not only rendered great assistance in the
publication of the book, but furnished the search of the Herald's Col-
lege in London, England, and various coats of arms. Thanks are also
due to Mrs. S. A. Pierce, Grafton, Mass., Hon. Albert S. Batchellor,
Littleton, N. H., F. L. Orra, Chicago, 111., Victor C. Sanborn, Chicago,
111., Seymour Morris, Chicago, 111., and others. I trust the various
members of the family will take as much pleasure in perusing the
pages as I did in compiling them.

ORIGIN OF THE BATCHELDER NAME.

The word bachelor has long been a sore puzzle to etymologists, says Lower in
his work on English surnames.* That the name "Bachelor," however spelled, is
the same as the word "bachelor," meaning an unmarried man or a college graduate,
is unquestioned, but many derivations have been given by different authors to
account for the meaning of the word, some most fanciful and even grotesque, others
with more probability of correctness. Knights bachelors were the most ancient,
though the lowest order of knighthood in England. It is said, in a note to Chitty's
Blackstone, that the most probable derivation of "bachelor" is from bas and chev-
alier, an inferior knight, f

The derivation of the word is given in Webster's dictionary as from the old
French "bachiler," meaning a young man. A common derivation given is from
"bacalaureus," having reference to the chaplet of laurel berries with which the
new bachelor of arts was crowned. The earliest mention of the name indicates that
it was given originally to mark the condition of its possessor as an unmarried man,
or as a young man, when there was an elder person of the same Christian name
living in the neighborhood. The English registers of the thirteenth and fourteenth
centuries, where we first meet the name, use the French prefix "le. " Thus we find
Jordanus le Bachelor,:}: Gilbert le Bachler.^ that is, Jordan the Bachelor, Gilbert the
Bachelor. We may be reasonably sure that the names Jordan and Gilbert were then
so common in a particular neighborhood in Normandy || that it was necessary to
indicate by some addition to the Jordan or Gilbert that there was an elder or
married person of the same name in the immediate neighborhood. If "bachelor"
meant simply an unmarried man, it was not proper or fitting at the death of
Jordan le Bacheler in 1297, for he left surviving him a wife, Alice, and a son,
John. It is, therefore, probable that the word "bachelor" was used at that time
much like "junior," meaning simply "the younger," and though at first given to an
unmarried man, was not dropped upon marriage, as it was a convenient and not
inappropriate designation of the younger, whether single or married. At a later
period the "le," being superfluous, was dropped, and in 1433 we find John Bachelor
returned in the commissioners' list of the gentry of Norfolk, England, though John y,-
Baschealer died at Kelsale, in Suffolk, February i, i552."T We do not know where
the family originated. There is the usual family tradition, which bears on its face
the marks of improbability, that three brothers by the name of Bachiler served
under William the Conqueror, and were rewarded after the battle of Hastings, in
1066, by a grant of land in Wiltshire. For sign manual they were given a shield
upon which were three boars' heads, united by three links, a spear above them^ .-tz*-*^
couchant. There was no crest, ijadicating that-thcy were f)rivate soldj^rs. il-i\ At^^H '^X^'^

Before 1600, we find the family name in the counties of Kent, Surrey, Sussex, (Ci/*v(M*
Wilts, Hampshire, Bucks, Middlesex. Norfolk and Suffolk, all in the southeastern ^
part of England. Very few are found north of London. The earliest mention of
the name is found in Surrey, and very probably Surrey or Sussex was the earliest
home of the Bachilers.

It is impossible to trace the relationship, if any existed, between the early
Bachlier families in England, or to decide whether the first emigrants of that —
name to America were kindred. The Ipswich and Salem emigrants were brothers.
The names associated in some of the early English families indicate that Alexander
Bachieler, the emigrant, of Portsmouth, was a relative of the Salem and Ipswich

10 BATCHELDER GENEALOGY.

Bachilers, as Mark Bacheller, of Bradding, in the Isle of Wight, died about 1614,
leaving a brother. Alexander Bacheller, two sons, John Bacheller the elder and
John Bacheller the younger, and three daughters.* Mark was a family name
among the Salem Bachilers, but neither that name, nor Alexander, has been found
elsewhere in the English families. Such evidence is, of course, slight, but is worth
noting in the absence of convincing facts. It is probable that other relationship
existed between some of the Bachiler emigrants, but further and more careful
search must be made in England before this interesting question of relationship can
be settled.

There were seven immigrants of the Bachiler name :

1. Alexander, of Portsmouth, N. H.

2. Rev. Stephen, of Lynn, Mass., and Hampton, N. H.

3. Henry, of Ipswich, Mass.

4. Joseph, of Salem, Mass. (now Wenham).

5. John, of Salem, Mass.

6. William, of Charlestown, Mass.

7. John, of Watertown, and Dedham, and Reading.

There are living descendants of the Bachiler name from four of these immi-
grants, namely: Rev. Stephen, Joseph and John, of Salem, and Henry, of Ipswich.

This name appears in the Massachusetts and New Hampshire records under the
form of Bachaler, Bachalor, Bachelder, Bacheler, Bacheldor, Bacheldore, Bacheledr,
Bacheller, Bachellor, Bachelor, Bachilder, Bachilo, Bachillor, Bachlicor, Bachlor,
Bacholter, Bactherer, Bashelor, Batchalder, Barchaldor, Batchalor, Batchelar,

BATCHELOR [SEE BACHELOR.]— Bachelor, Bachellor, Batchelor, Batchellor,
Batcheler, Batchler, Bachelere, Bacheler, Bachylere, Bachelar, from French
Bacheller.

1. A young gentleman who aspires to be a knight.

2. A student who has taken his first degree at a university.

3. An unmarried man, a lover.

French — Bacheller, Bachellier, Bacheler, Bachiler, a young man from
Med. Latin Baccalarius, said to be from late Latin bacca, for racca, a
cow (baccalaureate).

A. — Ordinary Language.

A person of the male sex, of marriageable age, who has not in fact been
married. When he has passed the time of life at which the majority of men
enter the matrimonial state, he is called an "old bachelor."

I. University degrees.

1. In the expression bachelor of arts (B. A.), one who has taken the first
degree at a university. The B. A. degree was introduced in the thirteenth
century by Pope Gregory IX. In the opinion of Jamieson, in this sense the
term bachelor was probably borrowed from the arrangement in the Univer-
sity of Paris, where two of the four orders into which the theological faculty
was divided were called Baccalarii Farmeti and Baccalarii Cursores.

or, as it is commonly termed, master of arts."— Spottisvvoods.

II. Heraldry.

I. Formerly, (a) A person who, though a knight, had not a sufficient number of
vassals to have his banner carried before him in battle.

his son Athelstan.
III. Among the London city companies.
One not yet admitted to livery.

Bachelor's buttons, a name given by gardeners to the double-flowered variety
of one of crowfoots or buttercups. Sometimes this species is further
designated as yellow bachelor's buttons, after the example of the French,
who denominated it "bouttons d'or," while the white bachelor buttons,
"boutons d'argent," is bestowed on another crowfoot. Various other
plants, especially the campion, the burdock, the scabious or bluebottle,
have also been called bachelor's buttons or buttons. — The Encyclopa;dic
Dictionary.

Gen. George S. Batcheller, of Washington, writes : It is a tradition that our
branch of the Batchellers came from Spain ! That the ancestor was a secretary or
It.-governor of Florida, then Spanish possession, was driven out by Indians, and of
the embarking his colony in a war vessel. He and a few associates remained on
shore, and when they went in search of their ship it had "passed out of sight" in
the fog, and they drifted in a small boat to sea, and finally landed in New England.
Batcheller, or Batchillero, remained in America, having married a pretty Puritan,
and his comrades returned to Spain. His descendants grew up as Protestants and
Puritans. It is all tradition.

Another work on the origin of names states this of the name Bachelder: The
Dutch "bock" meant "book." "Bareo" is "doctor". The whole means doctor of
divinity, law or medicine.

The following paragraph appeared in The Family Herald, an English magazine,
dated August lo, 1895, page 239: The term "bachelor" is from the Latin "bacca-
laureus," "one crowned with laurel." In the French it becomes "a young squire, not
made a knight." Its first English meaning was "a young unmarried man." In old
times, the student-undergraduate was forbidded by the law of the universities to
marry, on pain of expulsion. Violations of this law by William Lee resulted in his
invention of the stocking loom.

Prof. John Fiske, of Cambridge, America's most celebrated historian, in writing
to the author of this work, on the origin of names, has this to say : The largest and
most familiar groups of surnames are either (i) patronymics, such as Johnson, Jones,
Wilson, etc. ; or (2) names of villages and estates, such as Washington, Frothingham
(a corruption of Fotheringham), Greenough (green field), Holmes (meadow),
Stanley (stony pasture), etc. ; or (3) names descriptive of occupation or social
position, such as Mason, Carpenter, Franklin (country squire), Baker and its
feminine, Baxter, Thatcher and Thaxter, Weaver and Webster, Draper, Smith,
Fletcher (arrow-maker). Chapman (merchant). Cooper, Butler, Cartwright, Sargent,
Waterman, Sawyer, Chandler, Bishop, Abbot, Clark, Constable, Spencer (steward),
Grosvenor (chief huntsman). Woodward (forest-keeper), Youmans (yeoman), etc.

The earliest use of family names in England was about the beginning of the
eleventh century. Long before that time, indeed, clan names were common, and
such were always patronymics, e. g. : Fotherings, the descendants of Fother ;
Beormings, the descendants of Beorm ; Icklings, the descendants of Ickel. At the
time of the Anglo-Saxon conquest of Britain (fifth and sixth centuries), it was custom-
ary for a clan to settle in a stockaded village by itself, and all English towns whose
names end in "ham" or "ton," preceded by "ing," were originally the abodes of
single clans, e. g. : Birmingham, home of the children of Beorm; Icklington, town
of the children of Ickel. Besides these general clan names no others were in use
except individual names, such as Alfred or Edith.

The use of family names, beginning in the eleventh century, increased slowly.
It was not until the fifteenth century that such names became nearly universal, and
also stationary. At first they were shifting in usage. Thus, the same man might
be called Henry Wilson, because his father was named William ; or Henry Frothing-
ham, because he lived at the village of Fotheringham ; or Henry Draper, because of
his occupation. If the son of this Henry were named Robert, and were any kind
of a worker in metals, from an armorer to a blacksmith, he might be known as

12 BATCHELDER GENEALOGY.

Robert Harrison, or Robert Smith. Surnames had not ceased to fluctuate in this
wa}^ until the fifteenth century, and it was not until late in the sixteenth that more
importance began to be attached to the family surname than to the individual bap-
tismal name. It apj^ears, therefore, that in tracing back genealogy into the
fourteenth century we are approaching the time at which difficulty must arise from
fluctuations of surnames. Thus the paternal grandfather of Stephen Bachiler might
have been called David' Johnson, if John were his father's name, or David
Franklin, if he were a country squire. In the thirteenth century, we should be
quite likely to encounter such confusion, and to find the helpfulness of surnames in
tracing genealogies vastly diminished.

Surnames derived from estates or localities seem to have been the first to
become stationary, and next after them the surnames derived from trade or office,
since sons have so commonly followed their fathers in business.

We are at first struck with the fact that barbarians commonly use names both
for individuals and for clans. Such individual names as Gray Wolf, or Yellow
Raccoon, often owe their origin to some personal peculiarity or to some irrecover-
able incident. Among American Indians, and in general among barbarians all over
the world, the clans are apt to have such names as Wolf, Eagle, Salmon, Turtle,
etc; the totem, or symbol, of the Wolf clan, the idol or image of its tutelar diety, is
likely to be a rude image of a wolf or wolf's head, and in many cases the clan is
supposed to have had a wolf for its first ancestor. Shall we say, then, that animal
surnames in modern English are survivals of ancient heathen clan-names?

The conversion of our English forefathers from heathenism to Christianity was
completed in the seventh century, at least four hundred years before the earliest use
of surnames in England. The old clan system, moreover, had crumbled to pieces
long before Norman conquest. It is not likely, therefore, that habits of naming
characteristic of the old heathen clans could have persisted long 'enough to give
rise to a whole class of surnames so late as the eleventh and twelfth centuries.

Between the ancient systems of totem devices and the heraldry of the Middle
Ages, there were many analogies, and doubtless some points of connection; though,
on the whole, the former must be regarded as the predecessor of the latter, not as
its ancestor. The mediaeval heraldry was growing up in England during the
eleventh and twelfth centuries, and it made an extensive use of conventionalized
heads of familiar animals, not merely lions, wolves and bulls, but many kinds of
birds and fishes, as well as such imaginary creatures as dragons, griffins and
cockatrices. For example, Lucy is the heraldic name for pike, and the shield of
the De Lucy family bears on a field gules three lucies or. From this emblem the
family surname is likely to have arisen, just as Geoffrey Plantagenet was so called
from the sprig of broom or genesta plant worn in his helmet. The familiar name of
Pike, as well as that 'of the Puritan magistrate, Sir Thomas Lucy, who arrested
Shakespeare for poaching, has probably come from the heraldic use of pikes or
lucies.

The explanation which serves for one of this class of animal surnames might
perhaps serve for all, but there is another point to be considered. Heraldic devices
were used not only upon banners and coats-of-arms, but also upon signboards, not
merely of inns but of other places of business. In days when reading and writing
were not common accomplishments, such devices were in general use, and they
survived down to a recent time. For tavern signs they are not yet extinct. In old
times, as often at the present day in Europe, the shop and the homestead were
usually contained in the same building. Thus, in the seventeenth century, the
father of John Milton, who was a solicitor, notary public, and law stationer, had his
office and his home in a certain house known as the Spread Eagle, in Bread street,
Cheapside. Over the front door was the figure of an eagle with outstretched wings.
For four or five centuries before Milton's time, in going through any town, you
would have passed by a succession of such signs of hawks, cranes, dolphins, salmon,
lambs, and bulls, thus finding your way to the particular shop and homestead of
which you were in quest. The principle upon which the signs were chosen is not
always obvious. Sometimes a family name may have suggested the sign, as if
a man named Crow were to paint a black crow over .his door; but in early times the
sign undoubtedly preceded and suggested the name. The family which dwelt at
the sign of the crow came to be called Crow, in the same way that a family which
dwelt at a country house called Greenough or Greenhalge (green field) came to be
called by the name of the house.

A VISIT TO HISTORIC CANTERBURY, ENGLAND.

(By Jennie Bard Dugdale, of the Interior.)

Among the caprices of custom none is more inexplicable and unfortunate than
that which draws present-day pilgrims from over seas other whither than to beau-
tiful, historic Canterbury. However Britons may regard it, few Americans think
of seeking this interesting and attractive spot when journeying in England. A
tour of the Cathedral towns usually omits this most important of them all. Trav-

ST. martin's church.

elers take train at London for Dover, with Paris, the glittering, for their goal, and
are whirled through old Kent, almost under the shadow of the Cathedral's triple
spires without a thought of the storied past or the glowing present over which those
soaring structures stand guard.

Although Kent is not noted for the wild and romantic scenery of some of the
other counties, there is a smiling fairness in her fertile valleys and soft-swelling
hills which is not without charm. Few mediaeval towns are quainter or more
picturesque that the ancient borough whose red roofs cluster about the great
Cathedral, and that vast and venerable pile has among her younger sisters few peers
in beauty or in architectural interest, while in the wealth of historic association and
influence she stands unrivalled.

Canterbury is not only the "Cradle of English Christianity," but in a sense an
epitome of English history. Although "Kent itself be but a corner of England,
and Canterbury seated in a corner of that corner," for nineteen centuries there has
been a more or less close connection between the little city on the Stour and the
most significant events and institutions of the whole land and race.

14 BATCHELDER GENEALOGY.

Memorials are here of British, Roman, Saxon and Norman occupation ; Danish
inroads are traceable today; the highwater marks of Papal and of Protestant
supremacy can be clearly seen ; here is the earliest evidence of English learning.
Canterbury bears a share in the beginning of English liberty, Archbishop Stephen
Langton having, perhaps, more to do than any other with the winning of Magna
Charta; his successors, Cranmer and Laud, are associated not merely with things
ecclesiastical, but with wide-reaching interests of the English name ; during eleven
hundred years few kings failed of some intercourse with Canterbury'; and Chaucer,
the Father of English Poetry, found here the inspiration of his song, and sent his
Canterbury pilgrims journeying through the centuries.

Wonderful is the way in which this long record is brought before us in the
buildings and the natural features of old Canterbury ; very real is the story wrought
in stone, very vivid the sensation of continuity aroused in us as we tread in the
footsteps of conquerors and churchmen, of kings and poets and scholars, and behold
the same sights their eyes perceived and handle the objects on which their touch
rested in the years long passed.

There was a British village at this place before the coming of the Romans ; they
in turn fortified it and made it one of the chief military stations on the highroad to
London. When the Saxons invaded England they changed its name from Durovernum
to Cantwarabyrig, the burgh of the men of Kent, and it was the capital of Kent in the
days of the Heptarchy. Ethelbert kept his court here in 597, when Augustine and
his monks made their famous landing on the Isle of Thanet, missionaries sent by
Pope Gregory to convert the fair-haired Angli to Angeli by the preaching of
Christianity.

At first, the pagan king, filled Avith a vague fear lest the strangers should cast
some spell upon him, forbade them to leave the island, and there under a spreading
oak the first interview took place, but so reasonable seemed to him the new doctrine
that he invited its teachers to enter the city. As the procession of monks and chor-
isters and interpreters, followed by the king and his warriors, reached the brow of
the hill "on the east of the city," they saw, perhaps to their surprise, a little church
where the Christian queen. Bertha, a descendant of Clovis, was permitted to worship
in her own way with her confessor, Luidhard, who had accompanied her from
France. This church, dedicated to St. Martin, was upon the site of one built by
British Christians before the overthrow of their religion by the heathen Saxons, and
many Roman bricks visible in the walls today doubtless formed part of that early
edifice. Here Augustine was allowed to preach, and King Ethelbert, deeply moved
by his teachings, sought baptism on Whit Sunday, June 2, 597, and, according to
the custom of the time, by which a whole nation adopted the religion of its chief, ten
thousand men of Kent were baptized upon the following Christmas day. We are
told that the rite was performed in the broad waters of the Swale, at the mouth of
the Medway, but the king's baptism took place within St. Martin's church, and
tradition says the stone font still preserved there was used for the purpose.
Curious, indeed, in this ancient relic, three feet in height, cut out of a creamy stone
resembling that of the Cathedral, and covered with carving of intricate and unusual
design. Some authorities assert that it cannot be as old as Ethelbert's time, but
earl 5'- records say that an "urn," or "baptistery," of some sort was used. This font
itself is mentioned in the seventh century, and one strikingly like it is seen in the
representation of the baptism on the seal of St. Augustine's Abbey, showing that
its association with the event was long unquestioned. A stone coffin at St. Martin's
is claimed to be that of Queen Bertha. The north wall of the church is pierced by
a narrow window called "the leper's squint," placed at such a slant that those
afflicted persons standing without the church could look in and behold the altar and
thus have part in the worship. A hospital for lepers was established by Archbishop
Lanfranc in 10S4 at Harbledown, one mile west of Canterbury, and the "squint" was
probably provided about that time.

Augustine's congregations soon outgrew the tiny church of St. Martin, and a
second, which he dedicated to St. Pancras, was given him nearer the city. A
ruined arch now marks its site.

In a short time, however, the increasing dignity and importance of the new
religion were such that Augustine was formally enthroned Archbishop of Canter-
bury, and a church and dwelling place within the city bestowed upon him ; the king
devoting to this purpose his own palace, and retiring to Reculver, a few miles away,
where he built a new abode for himself. Nothing remains of the first cathedral, and
yet, despite the ravages of time and foe and fire, the spot has never been without
a successor to that first rude house of worship.

During Augustine's life, another religious institution was begun just outside the
city wall, the Abbey of St. Peter and St. Paul, but four hundred years later, in
St. Dunstan's time, it was enlarged and named anew — in honor of its founder — St.
Augustine's Abbey. His purpose in this edifice was twofold; he designed it for a
burial place in accordance with the early custom of sepulture without the walls, and
for a seat of learning as well. Two MS. Gospels kept, the one at Oxford, the
other at Cambridge, are thought to be the ones sent to the rising monastery by Pope
Gregory in token of approval.

Dean Stanley says of them: "They are, if so, the most ancient books that ever
were read in England ; as the church of St. Martin is the mother-church, and the

CHRIST CHURCH GATE.

Cathedral of Canterbury the mother-cathedral of England, so these books are, if I may
so call them, the mother-books of England, the first beginning of English literature,
of English learning, of English education. And St. Augustine's Abbey was thus
the mother-school, the mother-university of England, the seat of letters and study,
at a time when Cambridge was a desolate fen, and Oxford a tangled forest in a wide
waste of waters. ' '

Many and varied have been the occurrences witnessed by the old Abbey of St.
Augustine. As the church of the patron saint, it held for long a position of greater
importance than the Cathedral itself; the burial within it of the first primate of the
English church and the first king of Christian England fixed it as the resting place
of the holy and illustrious ; and when we consider the value placed upon relics from
the fifth century until the fifteenth, we can understand the influence of this.

Cuthbert, the ninth Archbishop of Canterbury, resolved to break through prece-
dent and give the Cathedral the benefit of his bones, but only by well planned

16 BATCHELDER GENEALOGY.

diplomacy was this accomplished. Secretly he prepared a document, to which the
King of Kent and the Pope gave their sanction, authorizing his interment within
the Cathedral precincts; on his deathbed he gathered his monks around him, gave
them the warrant, and commanded them not to toll the Cathedral bell until three days
after his death and burial ; in this he was obeyed, and when the familiar knell brought
the Abbot and monks of St. Augustine's to claim their prey they found themselves
too late for aught but vain remonstrance.

The Abbey suffered, with all Canterbury, from the incursions of the Danes, and
in iioS the greater part of it was burned and many ancient charters destroyed. It
was the chosen abode of people of rank when visiting Canterbury, and the gifts of
successive kings and nobles enriched it and rendered it so attractive that at the dis-
solution of the monasteries, Henry VIII. appropriated it as a royal palace. Queen
Mary, in turn, bestowed it upon Cardinal Pole, and Elizabeth, in 1573, occupied it
in the course of a progress. In the Abbey, Charles I. and Henrietta Maria were
married in 1625, and at the Restoration Charles II. lodged _there on his way from
Dover to London.

In later times much of the old place fell into ruin, some of the stones were used
in repairing the Cathedral, and portions were taken down to make room for a
hospital and jail ; a brewery was carried on in part of the building, and its days of
glory seemed indeed ended; but in 1844, when the remams of the Abbey were sold
at auction, the purchaser, Mr. Beresford Hope, resolved to restore the historic struc-
ture as far as might be, and establish there a missionary college. The new
buildings needed were made to conform to the character of the original ones, and
for the past half century this training school has sent forth Church of England
missionaries to many lands, worthy followers of the earlier ones who went hence to
evangelize pagan England and pagan Germany, the "regions beyond" of that day.
There is much in Canterbury to detain the curious; the claim is made that no
other English city can show a like number of ancient, unaltered churches; the hoary
walls, intact until a hundred years ago, are still standing in places, but of the six
gates onl}^ one, the West gate, is preserved, unless we include Christ Church gate,
leading from Mercery Lane to the precincts of the Cathedral. Close by the pictur-
esque West gate, built in the time of Chaucer, stands the old Falstaff Inn, and not
far beyond is St. Dunstan's church, where the nead of Sir Thomas More was buried
by his faithful daughter Margaret ; she, too, lies in the Roper tomb in this church,
and through the gateway of the Roper mansion on the opposite side of the street
the great chanacellor must many a time have passed, for, if not a resident of Canter-
bury, he was often a guest in the home of his dearly loved daughter.

Canterbury Castle, built soon after the Norman Conquest, would attract us were
it not for the stronger spell which the Cathedral places upon us. Thither the mediaeval
pilgrims repaired with promptness to make their devotions at the shrine of the
"holy, blissful martyr," Thomas Becket, and we would fain follow in their footsteps,
so resisting the tempting shops in Mercery Lane, which now, as of old, offer for sale
mementoes of the pilgrimage, past the building marking the site of the famous
Chequers Inn we go, under beautiful Christ Church gate — built in 1517, carved on
every part with armorial bearings, angels, miters, coronets and roses, the emblems
of the Tudors — and stand at last within the precincts, and the great Cathedral rises
before us in all its sublime loveliness.

One versed in such matters, says: "It embraces all styles of English ecclesiasti-
cal architecture from the rudest Saxon to the most finished of Gothic art," yet the
general effect is thoroughly harmonious and indescribably beautiful and impressive.
The nave, the part nearest us as we approach from the southwest, is compara-
tively modern, built about the year 1400, but in its severe simplicity and vastness
it seems more venerable than the choir and transepts, with their greater ornateness
and complication of design. East of the nave the transepts open on either side,
that to the north being the famous transept of the Martyrdom, where Thomas
Becket was slain December 29, 1170, and not before the altar as is often carelessly
stated. A flight of steps leads to the choir, and farther east other series of steps
take one higher and yet higher until the holiest place, the shrine of St. Thomas, is
reached. This succession of ascents is a peculiarity which has struck many travel-
ers, from the time of Erasmus until now, but the unusual elevation was made
necessary by the position of the crypt and the wish to place the shrine immediately
above the spot where the martyr first lay, when, in haste and secrecy, amid the
roaring of the storm, the trembling monks interred him a few hours after his
murderers quitted the Cathedral, fearing their threatened return to seize the body,
carry it off, and deny it Christian burial. In the space of three years, popular

BATCHELDER GENEALOGY. 17

feeling, divided at first, set strongly in his favor; the proud, grasping ecclesiastic,
the wily politician, was forgotten, and Thomas Becket was remembered only as the
fearless, faithful servant of the church. He was canonized by the Pope, and
December 29 set apart as the Feast of St. Thomas of Canterbury.

The following year Henry H. — moved by contrition or by policy — performed
his penance at the grave in the crypt of the Cathedral, and to this sacred spot the
ever-swelling tide of pilgrimage continued to flow. Louis VH., the first French

CANTERIJURV CATHEDKAL.

king to set foot on English soil, visited the shrine in 1179 ^ii^ spent a night in
prayer and fasting before it ; the Lion-hearted Richard, returning from Palestine,
landed at Sandwich, and went thence on foot to Canterbury to give thanks to God
and St. Thomas for deliverance from his grievous captivity ; one of the early events
of John's reign was a journey hither accomplished in great state. The superstruc-
ture of the Cathedral bade fair to yield all its importance to the tomb in the crypt
when the destructive fire, which laid waste the entire choir toward the close of the
century led to the rebuilding of that part of the Cathedral, and special attention was
given to preparing a position of prominence for the resting place of the martyr's
remains. By the year 1220 all was in readiness, and the "translation" occurred
amid imposing ceremonies.

For the following three centuries Canterbury was foremost among the great
shrines of Christendom ; pilgrims came from all England and from distant parts of
Europe, and the fame of St. Thomas was carried to far-away lands. From Syria to
Scotland churches rose in his honor, his name was inscribed upon the banners of
the Crusaders, and the capture of Acre was supposed to be so directly due to his aid
that he was thenceforward frequently called St. Thomas of Acre, while in the North

18

BATCHELDER GENEALOGY.

the Abbey of Aberbrothock — known to lovers of Scott's Antiquary as "the Abbey
of St. Ruth" — was sacred to him, and at Melrose he received special veneration.

Indeed, the extreme to which this martyrolatry was carried and the absurdity of
the miracles ascribed to it prepared the way in no small measure for the reaction
which culminated in the Reformation. The assertion of Thomas a Kempis, "there
are few whom pilgrimage really sanctifies," received repeated confirmation from the
revelations of Chaucer and Piers Plowman and many an old chronicler ; and such
an observer as Erasmus was more disgusted than edified by a visit to Becket's
tomb. The beauty of the Cathedral touched him much, he marked "the majesty
with which the church rises into the sky, so as to strike, awe even at a distant
approach; the vast towers, saluting from afar the advancing traveler; the sound of
the bells, sounding far and wide through the surrounding country" but, as he
beheld the efiiects of blind and debasing superstition upon the multitude, and saw
the trickery of the relic system, he was moved to contempt.

Outwardly, the worship of the Saint seemed unabated, the number of pilgrims
showed no diminution, and the value of their offerings was almost incalculable; but
silently and unseen the spirit of change was working, and, in a few short years, the
crash came.

Henry VIII., in 1520, received the Emperor Charles Y. at Canterbury just

before the meeting of the Field of the Cloth of Gold, and together they knelt at the
shrine. Cardinal Wolsey near at hand, and the most illustrious nobles of England
and Spain crowding the Cathedral; but all this was soon to be changed. In pursu-
ance of a royal mandate, Archbishop Cranmer ignored the great Festival of the
Translation of the Relics, July 6, 1537, and in the following year a summons in the
Kmg's name, addressed to "Thomas Becket, some time Archbishop of Canterbury,"
charging him with "treason, contumacy and rebellion," was read beside his tomb.
Thirty days were allowed for his appearance, and when, at the end of that time,

the beatified offender failed to answer for himself, the case was gravely argued at
Westminster by attorneys granted by the King's grace to him and to Henry II.
Strange to relate, sentence was pronounced against him, his bones condemned to
be burned, and the wealth of the shrine forfeited to the Crown! Such a trial,
absurd as it seems, was thoroughly characteristic of Henry VIII. , who could be
the most exacting of legal quibblers when such a course suited his purpose and pro-
perly instructed judges were secured.

Strikingly suggestive is the likeness between this scene and that other enacted
at Lutterworth a hundred years before, when the exumed bones of Wycliffe were
burned and his ashes scattered upon the waters of the Avon, to be borne thence to
the Severn and to the encircling sea. Toda}^ no trace of Becket's shrine can be
seen, save the hollowed stones worn by the knees of the thousands of worshipers
who sought the favor of the Saint.

The concentration of interest at this tomb may have led early pilgrims to pass
unnoticed other parts of the Cathedral, but we of this day can view the whole with
eyes open to its many beauties and hearts alive to the inspiring influences of more
than one monument.'

Edward, the Black Prince, lies buried at the south side of Trinity chapel, and,
as we look from his life-like effigy to the velvet coat embroidered with the Arms of
France and England, the gauntlets, the helmet, the shield of the hero, suspended
high over head, stirring thoughts of the days of Crecy and Poitiers are aroused
within us. There, too, hangs the empty scabbard, but the sword wielded on his
famous fields was carried away, it is said, by Oliver Cromwell.

The Prince's connection with Canterbury began in 1357, when, shortly after the
battle of Poitiers, he conducted his prisoner, King John of France, to London.
Landing at Sandwich, he and his rcyal captive came directly to Canterbuiy and
made offerings at the Shrine of St. Thomas, and tradition says that a room over
St. Anselm's chapel, in the southeastern part of the Cathedral, was used as the
French king's prison. Six years later, in commemoration of his marriage, the
Prince endowed a chapel in the crypt, where two priests were to pray always for
the repose of his soul. When his life drew toward its close, his thoughts turned
longingly to Canterbury; he chose the great Cathedral for his last resting place,
and thither moved his imposing funeral train from the Palace of Westminster,
where he died — past the village of Charing Cross, along the Strand, through
Temple Bar and Fleet street, around St. Paul's Cathedral, over London Bridge, by
the Tabard Inn in Southwark, and so in the path of Chaucer's pilgrims through the
Kentish country until Canterbury was reached. With great ceremony the body was
borne into the Cathedral and deposited, not in the humble spot in the cr^^pt desig-
nated in the Prince's will, but in the most honored place, beyond the altar, near the
shrine of St. Thomas.

Trinity chapel was without other graves for thirty-seven years, until, in 141 3,
Henry IV. was butied there, the only English king who rests in Canterbury
Cathedral.

The eastern extreme of the Cathedral is formed by the circular chapel called
the Corona, or Becket's Crown, and in it stood formerly an altar containing a frag-
ment of his skull; the tomb of Cardinal Pole, the last Roman Catholic archbishop,
is in this chapel, and near at hand is the chair of St. Augustine, in which each
Archbishop is seated at his enthronement. This chair, though said to be no older
than the thirteenth century, probably resembles closely the original cathedral of
which it is the official successor.

One of the oldest parts of the Cathedral is the crypt or undercroft; it dates
from the early Norman period at the latest, being part of the building of Lanfranc,
the Archbishop appointed by William the Conqueror. It is surmised that some of
the pillars may have belonged to the earlier British church on this site, thus preced-
ing all other parts of the present one by a thousand years. Somewhat surprised are
we as we turn aside, amid these cold, stony expanses, and enter one portion of the
crypt, carpeted, furnished with straight-back wooden chairs and a small pulpit of
Presbyterian plainness. Here assemble the French congregation, descendants of
the Huguenot refugees, to whom Queen Elizabeth, in 1561, gave permission to set
up their looms in the crypt and to observe their own form of worship.

In striking contrast, and yet in significant harmony, with the elaborate and
ritualistic celebrations for which Canterbury Cathedral stands, is the presence of
this simple Calvinistic service, which has survived three centuries of stormy intoler-
ance and bigotry to be in these last days an earnest of a glorious unity yet to
come, a precious proof here in the cradle of English Christianity, the stronghold of

SEARCH AT THE HERALD'S COLLEGE.

Heraldry, a relic of the feudal ages, took its rise in the Crusades, and was em-
ployed to denote the manly virtues. Since then armorial bearings have served very
much the same purpose of the modem diploma, and have been cherished because
deemed the patent of respectability. Esteemed at first by the landed gentry at
pleasure, they afterwards came under the regulation of law. ' The Herald's College
was established, and a general registration took place in the sixteenth century,

when pedigrees were accepted and registered, and the disorder or irregularity of
fraudulent bought rectified.

The college buildings of the Royal College of Arms, or more commonly, "The
Herald's College," are of begrimed red brick, occupy three quarters of a small
square opening to Queen Victoria street, E. C, in London, through a large iron gate,
richly surmounted with heraldic devices. The central door of the college admits to
a spacious hall, heavily paneled in oak, and hung with banners, coats-of-arms, and
portraits of past officers of the college. In the center of the hall is a plain, wide

and long oak counter, inclined at either extremity toward the north wall, where,
under the plain oak paneling, runs a plain oaken bench, the center being marked by-
two carved arm-rests, apparently indicative of the seat of some authority. On the
right is an apartment marked "Office." This is dimly lighted. The floor is bare
and the only furniture is a writing table and one or two chairs. The noonday sun

carved fireplace to various shades of brown and gold, and played o'er the various
shields studding the carved frieze like the memory of some forgotten pageant. The
officer in attendance, Thomas Morgan Joseph Watkin, Pursuivant Portcullis, ex-
plained the constitution of the college. "The college consists of thirteen officers,
besides the hereditary Earl Marshal, the Duke of Norfolk; three kings-at-arms,
six heralds and four pursuivants, or novitiates.

"Garter king-at-arms was created by Henry V., in 14 17, for the service of the
Order of the Garter, of which he is secretary. An essential qualification for the post
is that he shall be an Englishman and a gentleman of position. He is chief king-at-
arras. The next is Clarencieux, who was created by Edward IV. , and the other is
Norroy. Garter's distinctive color is blue, and that of Clarencieux and Norroy
purple. Next come the six heralds, Somerset, Chester, Windsor, Richmond, Lan-
caster, and York — and last of all the four pursuivants, Rouge Croix, Bluemantle,
Rouge Dragon, and Portcullis.

In the great fire the Herald's College was destroyed, but it was afterward
rebuilt by the heralds themselves from designs said to be by Sir Christopher Wren,
and on a site given by Queen Mary. It is the herald's freehold property. All the
records except two were saved from the fire, having been removed to Whitehall.
These, with the collegians, constitute the finest heraldic and genealogical remains
in the world. In an outer room was pointed out shelves upon shelves of indexed
volumes containing records of grants of arms, and of pedigrees of England's
armigerl, for the past 400 years. The carvings in the public office are supposed to
have been executed by Grinling Gibbons. That is a picture of Ralph Sheldon, the
antiquary; that is Stephen Martin Leake, one time Garter King-at- Arms ; that is
Sir John Dugdale ; and that is Lord Arundel, who gave us the Arundel manuscripts.
In that glass case is the famous ring, sword and dagger of James IV., of Scotland,
referred to by Scott in "Marmion," as you can see by the accompanying verse:

"The fair Queen of France
Sent him a turquoise ring and glove,
And charged him, as her knight and love.

For her to break a lance."

George C. Batcheller, of New York City, recently had an exaniination or search
made at the Herald's College, which is here given: The reader will notice that
there are certain abbreviations which seem rather unnecessary, but appear to be in
accordance with the way they do things at the College ; for example, dau. for
daughter, and one or two others, which, no doubt will be plain enough, and you will
find the letters aginst the coats-of-arms indicating the heraldic words instead of the
words themselves. Then you will find two short parallel lines like these, = which
mean married.

The records to which the search refers, 45 in all, as one will see, show no pedi-
gree, but only disconnected statements of fact.

REV. STEPHEN BACHILER. PURITAN EMIGRANT.

(Judge Charles E. Batchelder, Portsmouth, N. H. In New England Historical and

Genealogical Register.)

It is not proposed, in this part of the book, to give a sketch of the lives of any
of the first Batchelder settlers, except that of Rev. Stephen Bachiler, and in his
case about all that can be done is to rearrange the old material, add some new facts
recently discovered, and correct the numerous and gross errors in regard to his
immediate descendants. The treatment accorded to those early citizens of Massa-
chusetts Bay, who fell under "suspicion" at the hands of their more orthodox
brethren, has been so long frankly acknowledged and the causes so thoroughly
explained, that it can no longer be considered derogatory to the Massachusetts
commonwealth to speak plainly concerning the treatment of Williams, Wheelright
and other disturbers of the Puritan state. To do otherwise would be affectation.
There was intolerance on the part of the Bay Colony, and also on the side of the
"suspected." The latter should have withdrawn voluntarily from the settlement
previously occupied by the church-state party, and the former had not then learned
that the sure way to perpetuate heterodoxy is to persecute and punish its adherents.
Naturally, the Massachusetts historians have chronicled the virtues of the
clergymen who upheld the Massachusetts plan, and the opponents of that plan,
being neglected, were speedily forgotten. It is said of Samuel Skelton, of Salem,
Mass. : "Little has come down to us concerning him, owing, it is said, to the fact
that he differed about clerical associations and other subjects from most of the
principal persons in Massachusetts."*

We know that Stephen Bachiler contended, with a vigor and earnestness
unusual for a man of his years, against the Puritan doctrine of a religious common-
wealth, against that union of church and state to which they clung as to the ark of
their safety, f and which has since been universally conceded to be a lamentable
error. He lived to see the beginning of the downfall of that "experiment fraught
with evil," as the halfway covenant, allowing baptized persons, not church mem-
bers, upon assenting to the church covenant, to have all the rights of members,
except communion, was approved by the Synod called in Massachusetts in 1657.I
We know further that he most zealously maintained the rights of the New Hampshire
settlements in their contest with Massachusetts, which ended in 1641 in the control
of the weaker province by the stronger. Whatever material advantages were
secured by New Hampshire through this union of the colonies, and they were by no

means inconsiderable, were valued little by those ardent friends of New Hampshire,
who resisted the aggression of the Bay Colony.

The great wrong done New Hampshire by the attempt to pervert the Massachu-
setts charter so as to include all territory south of an east and west line through the
head of the Merrimac, could never be condoned by any advantages arising from
the union. Stephen Bachiler staked his fortunes on the continued independence of
the New Hampshire settlements, and lost. If the cause he championed had
prevailed, he would today be remembered with gratitude as one of the stoutest
champions of New Hampshire, and his life would undoubtedh- have been materially
ditTerent. He had settled Hampton under the authorization of Massachusetts, yet
his subsequent acts show that he never supposed either of the Massachusetts claims
to Hampton well founded.

He knew it was not within their patent, nor vacant land first occupied by Massa-
chusetts.,^ Wh}', then, did he procure a grant from the General Court of Massa-
chusetts, and act under their directions? It was because he had already felt their
displeasure, and thought the grant might be in some way a protection to himself
and his company in making the settlement. But it is not worth while to dicuss
these matters at length, as they excited great bitterness once, though now, happily,
long settled and entire good feeling prevails between the two states.

Stephen Bachiler, tor so he always wrote his name, was born somewhere in
England in the year 1561. At the age of twenty he entered St. Johns College.
Oxford. He was matriculated November 17, 1581, and admitted as Bachelor of
Arts, February 3, 1585-6. The leading profession for college graduates in that day
was that of a clergyman, and he detremined to study for the ministry, being then a
member of the established church. Apparently the time between his graduation,
in Februarj-, 1585-6 and July 17, 15S7, was spent in preparation for his life work,
for on the daj' last named the death of Edward Parrett, vicar of Wherwell in Hants,
making a vacancy in that living he was presented with the place by William West,
Lord Lawarr (or de la Warr, as it was written later) and became vicar of the
church of Holy Cross and St. Peter. || On the 26th of Januarj-, 1587-S the new
incumbent compounded for the payment of the first fruits of the vicarage. The
village of Where well stretches along the westerly bank of that troutful stream, the
Test, in Hampshire, three and one-half miles from Andover. Very great historical
interest attaches to this retired town and its ancient monastery. Wherewell Abby
has been the home or the abiding place of three, and perhaps lour, English queens,
who were renowned for their extraordinary beauty. The parish of Wherewell
hardly had any existence apart from the Abby, down to the year 1543, for, until
that time, the Superior of the Monastery was lady of the manor, and owned tne
whole village and a large part of the neighborhood. The same church served for
the parish and the monastery, with presumably a chapel for parochial services- as
at Romsey. It had also a chapel with a special entrance, which was appropriated
to the "Priory" as a pew. The earliest mention of Wherewell, or Whorewell, as it
was then called, is found in the will of King Edred, A. D. 946, 955. He gave the
town to the new monastery, subsequently called Hj'de Abbey. In the year 986,
Elfrida founded Wherewell Abbey for Benedictine nuns in penitence for the blood-
shed in which she had been concerned. In the chartulary of Wherewell Abbey the
story is thus told: "And in the place which by the inhabitants is called Wherewell
founded the Church of the Holy Cross, beseeching Christ, that He, who, wounded
on the (ever) memorable Cross, shed his blood for the redemption of the human
race, might deign to grant her the pardon (purchased) bj' his death. His wounds,
and by the shedding of his blood, rich (in graces).""' Wherewell contains five
hundred and forty-one inhabitants, and must have been a very retired spot until the
London and Southwestern Railroad ran a branch line through the town, about the
year 1S83, and built a very substantial and commodious station at FuUerton in
the parish of Wherewell. Many of the residences, and especially the old court house
near the station, are of early date, and look as if they had not changed appreciably
in three centuries. The old Parish church of Holy Cross and St. Peter was pulled
down and rebuilt in 1S58. The old building was repaired after the Reformation
with the best portions of the Abbey ruins. With the exception of some fragments
of mouldings, one monumental eflfigy, and parts of two monuments, there are
absolutely no traces of the old church.* Of Stephen Bachiler's life at Wherewell

we know nothing. The church records were begun in 1643, or at all events no
earlier records now exist. We only know that he remained here until 1605, for, on
the ninth day of August, 1605, John Bate, A. M., clergyman, was appointed vicar
of Wherewell, a vacancy existing because ot "the ejection of Stephen Bachiler," the
last vicar. f Not much more is known of his life in England, from the loss of his
living at Wherewell to the spring of 1632, when he sailed for New England. He
was excommunicated from the church, and so no church record exists showing his
abiding places. Probably he preached to different congregations, not in a settled
way, but when he could avoid the persecution of the church people. Occasionally
we get a glimpse of his location. In 1610 he appears to be still a clergyman of the
County of Southampton, j On the nth of June, 1621, Adam Winthrop's diary shows
that he "had Mr. Bachelour, the preacher," to dine with him, presumably at Groton
in Suffolk. This may have been the subject of this sketch. Some of the parish-
ioners of Barton Stacey, in Hampshire, a few miles east of Wherewell, listened to
his sermons at some time before 1632, for we find that Sir Robert Pame petitioned
the Council, stating that he was sheriff of Hants in that year, and was also chosen
churchwarden of Barton Stacey, and that " some of the parishioners, petitioner's
tenants, having been formerly misled by Stephen Bachelor, a notorious incon-
formist, had demolished a consecrated chapel at Newton Stacey, neglected the
repair of their parish church, maliciously opposed petitioner's intent (to repair the
church at his own charge), and executed many things in contempt of the cannons
and the bishop. "§ Once more we hear from him, on the 23d of June, 1631, when, at
the age of seventy years, he obtains leave to visit his sons and daughters in Flush-
ing. He was then resident at South Stoneham, in the county of Southampton, and
desires that his wife, Helen, aged 48 years, and his daughter, Ann Sandburn, of
age 30 years, widow, resident in the Strand, might accompany him. He was to
return within two months. || It would be interesting to know which of his sons and
daughters then lived at Flushing, as Deborah Wing was apparently residing in
London in November, 1629, when her husband, John Wing, made his will, and
presumably she was appointed executrix of the will when it was proved, August 4,
1630, as Mr. Waters makes no note that administration was granted to any other
person than the executrix named in the will.*7 Stephen Bachiler was excommuni-
cated among the earliest of the nonconformists. On the death of Elizabeth, in
1603, James I, of the house of Stuart, came to the throne. In January, 1604, the
famous Hampton Court conference was held, when King James uttered his angry
threat against the Puritans, "I will make them conform or I will harry them out
of the kingdom. " The next year the king's threat was carried out against Mr.
Bachiler, and no doubt he was thoroughly "harried" after his excommunication.
Winthrop says that Bachiler had suffered much at the hands of the bishops.*

As early as 1630 Bachiler had determined to leave England and settle in Amer-
ica. At all events, he made preparation for such removal. Maverick, in his
"Description of New England," says there .was a patent granted to Christo: Batch-
el or and Companyf in the year 1632, or thereabouts,:}: for the mouth of the river
(Sagadahoeke), and some tract of land adjacent, who came over in the ship named
the Plough, and termed themselves the Plough Companie, but soon scattered, some
for Virginia, some for England, some to the Massachusetts, never settling on that
land, i-

The Plough ship, of sixty tons, on the 6th day of July, 1631, arrived at Natascott
(Nantasket). She brought ten passengers from London. They came with a patent
to Sagadahoek; but not liking the place they came hither. Most of them proved
f amilists, and vanished away. |1

bad reputation. Hundreds of ignorant, starving creatures were taken from the streets and sent

It has been said that this grant was afterwards called the province of Lygonia,
after Cicely Lygon, the mother of Sir Ferdinando Gorges; but Maverick says there
was a patent granted for this (Casco) Bay some years since, by the title of the
Province of Ligonia, to Collonel Alexander Rigby, which is no doubt true. It is-
eamestly to be hoped that this Plough patent, or a copy, will some time be discov-
ered. At present, it is impossible to define the extent of the grant, or to prove
beyond question what territory was occupied under it. Hubbard says it was south
of the Sagadahock river, and twenty miles from the seaside, yet all agree that the
original grant was forty miles square. Two contemporary writers say it was a
patent for Sagadahock."^

Two islands in the River Sagadahock, near the south side thereof, about sixty
miles from the sea, are included in the grant, but no such islands exist. Great
ignorance of our geography was shown in making the early grants, and they fre-
quently overlap earlier grants. Sagadahock was a very elastic word in early days.
It was applied to the river formed by the union of the Kennebec and Androscoggin,
also to the region about that river, probably on both sides, like the present county
of Sagadahock, and in later times to all the land east of the Sagadahock River to the
St. Croix.*

It seems most probable that the Plough grant began at the mouth of the Saga-
dahock, ran inland on that river and the Androscoggin forty miles in a straight
line, but sixty measured on the river, and forty miles south and a like distance back
from the ocean. This was found to overlap earlier grants, which had been so
frequently made of Sagadahock. f

When the territory was actually settled it was found that the bounds could only
extend from the west side of Cape Porpoise to the east side of Cape Elizabeth,
distance less than twenty miles, as Casco and most of the territory east of the
Sagadahock had been previously occupied under other grants.

At the very beginning of 1632, Mr. Bachiler left England for Boston in New
England. He sailed on the 9th of March, 1631-2, in the vessel called the "William
and Francis," from London, with sixty passengers, and, after eighty-eight dreary
days, landed at Boston. Among his fellow travellers were Gov. Edward Winslow, of
Plymouth, Rev. Thomas James, Rev. Thomas Wedde and Thomas Oliver, the
famous ruling elder of Boston. On the "Whale," which arrived May 26, 1632 came
Mr. Wilson and Mr. Richard Dummer. Most of the Dummers reside at South
Stoneham or Swathling, where the ancient church bears several Dummer memori-
als, and this was the last residence of Stephen Bachiler m England.

A relationship existed between the Bachilers and the Dummers which cannot
yet be traced. X

over by unscrupulous adventurers, and innumerable convicts were set free on condition of
emigrating to New England. The latter colonists, especially those coming in the great move-
ment between 1030 and ](J4b, ^ve^e much superior to the earlier emigrants. Winthrop would have
known and mentioned the fact if Bachiler had been tainted with familism. In matters of opin-
ion, that is, of belief, Dalton and Bachiler agreed, says Winthrop. Who ever heard that Dalton
entertained familistic opinions. The charge is ridiculous and utterlv unsupported.

These two ships, the "William and Francis," and. the "Whale," were sent out
by the "Company of husbandmen," sometimes called the "Company of London,"
or the "Company of the Plough," of which company Stephen Bachiler was an
active and zealous member, and was chosen their pastor in 1629 or 1630. §

The energy and zeal with which he labored to increase the society and assist as
many emigrants as possible to come to New England, is well set forth in a letter of
John Dye and others to Mr. Crispe, and those members of the Plough Company
then in New England, dated London, S March, 163 1-2, and evidently brought in the
"William and Francis," or the "Whale. "|| Mr. Bachiler adventured ^100 in the
Company and loaned them £b-;, of which amount ^9 was repaid by the freight
money on his goods.

Among the articles he brought over were four hogsheds of peas, twelve yards of
cloth, two hundred yards of list, a contribution box and oaken furniture, which has
lasted until this day. Most of the early settlers of New England were young, or
not past their prime, when they came to America. Mr. Bachiler was seventy-one
when he landed, and yet for a score of years thereafter he retained his vigor and
for a decade he most obstinately contended against Massachusetts Bay in behalf of
New Hampshire. He had planned in England to settle at Newton (now Cam-
bridge), but, owing to the disaster which befell the Plough Company in 163 1, and
liaving received a call from Lynn, Mass., then called Sagus, he proceeded to the
place last named, where his daughter, Theodate, wife of Christopher Hussey,
resided. He commenced the exercise of his public ministrations on Sunday, June
8. 1632, without installation, having formed a church of those who desired to join
the six or seven persons he brought with him, who are said to have been members
of the church with him in England. The first meeting-house in Lynn was a small,
plain building, without bell or steeple, and stood on the northwestern corner of
Shepard and Summer streets. It was placed in a small hollow, that it might be
better sheltered from the winds, and was partly sunk in the earth. It was entered
by descending several steps. "y On the first Sunday at Lynn, four children were
baptised. Thomas Newhall, the first white child born in Lynn, was first presented.
Mr. Bachiler put him aside, saying, "I will baptise my own child first," meaning
Stephen Hussey, his daughter's child, born the same week as Thomas Newhall.
Before Mr. Bachiler had been preaching four months at Lynn, he fell under "sus-
picion" of having independent ideas, which he was not ready to yield at the
dictation of others. Thereupon, the General Court passed the following order:
"October 3, 1632, Mr. Batchiler is required to fobear exercising hisGuifts as a pastor
or teacher publiquely in or pattent, unless it be to those hee brought with him, for
his contempt of authority & till some scandles be removed."* The word "scan-
dals" was ordinarily used in our early history to denote some religious irregularity.
It was "scandalous" to conduct worship in any way not approved by the rulers. It
had acquired that meaning in England before the emigration f

It does not appear how far this order was obeyed. It will be noticed that Mr.
Bachiler was left free to preach to those he brought over, and no doubt he contin-
ued his ministrations.

At all events, after five months this prohibition was removed, and he was left
free to gather a church in Massachusetts Bay. He was also present at conferences
of the ministers of the colony, September 17, 1633, and December 19, 1634. the first
meeting having been called to consider the settlement of Mr. Cotton, and the other
to consult what ought to be done if a general governor should be sent out of
England, and whether it be lawful to carry the cross in their banners. %

On the 15th of March, 1635, "two of the elders of every church met at Saugus,
and spent there three days. The occasion was, that divers of the brethern of that
church, not liking the proceedings of the pastor, and withal making a question,
whether they were a church or not, did separate from church communion. The
pastor and other brethern desired the advice and help of the rest of the churches,
who, not thinking fit to judge the cause without hearing the other side, oft'ered to
meet at Saugus about it. Upon this the pastor, etc., required the separate members
to deliver their grievances in writing, which they refusing to do, the pastor, etc.,

wrote to all the churches that, for this cause they were purposed to proceed against
them as persons excommunicated; and therefore desired them to stay their journey,
etc. This letter, being read at a lecture at Barton (where some of the elders of
every church were present) they all agreed (with consent of their churches) to go
presently to Saugus, to stay this hasty proceeding, etc. Accordingly, being met,
and both parties (after much debate) being heard, it was agreed that they were a
true church, though not constituted at first, in due order, yet after consent and
practise of a church estate, had supplied that defect, and so all were reconciled, sj

He was admitted a freeman May 6, 1635. It seems quite probable that he was
the minister who dissented from the order of banishment of Roger Williams, in
October, 1635,1 as his opinions are known to have agreed closely with those of
Williams, and no minister of the twelve churches then established possessed his
courage m maintaining unpopular opinions. It is to be considered, also, that he
had previously been disciplined for departure from the established customs, and
within three months was agian in trouble from the same cause. In January, 1635-6,
says Winthrop, "Mr. Batcheller, of Sagus, was convented before the magistrates.
The cause was, for that, coming out of England with a small body of six or seven
persons, and having since received in many more at Sagus, and contention growing
between him and the greatest part of his church (who had, with the rest, received
him for their pastor) he desired dismission for himself and his first members, which
being granted, upon supposition that he would leave the town (as he had given out)
he, with tlie said six or seven persons, presently renewed their old covenant, intend-
ing to raise another church m Sagus; whereat the most and chief of the town being
offended, for that it would cross their intentions of calling Mr. Peter or some other
minister, the}^ complained to the magistrates, who, foreseeing the distraction which
was like to come by this course, had forbidden him to proceed in any such church
way until the cause were considered b}- the other ministers, etc. But he refused
to desist. Whereupon, they sent for him, and upon his delay, day after day, the
marshal was sent to fetch him. I Upon his appearance and submission and promise
to remove out of the town within three months, he was discharged.* Peter, how-
ever, refused to settle at Lynn, preferring Salem.

These distractions in the Sagus church continued until Christmas, 1635, when a
general fast was proclaimed, for that cause and others, and presumably continued
until Februar3^ 1636, when Bachiler left Lynn and went to Ipswich, where he
received a grant of fifty acres of land and a prospect of settlement, but, for some
reason not yet explained, the plan miscarried. It was about this time, on the 17th
of April, 1637, that Rev. R. Stansby writes Rev. John Wilson from England that
he is grieved that, "Others laye downe the ministry and become private members,
as Mr. Bacheler, Mr. James, and Mr. Nathan Ward, etc." He adds that this fact,
and others of like nature were now much talked about, and that many worthy
people were prev^ented from emigrating to New England for these reasons, and
suggests that greater liberty be granted in the admission of members to the
church." Under Mo. i, 1637-8, Winthrop says, "Another plantation was now m
hand at Mattakeese (now Yarmouth) six miles beyond Sandwich. The undertaker
of this was one Mr. Batchellor, late pastor at Sagus (since called Lynn), being
about seventy-six years of age ; yet he walked thither on foot in a very hard season.
He and his company, being all poor men, finding the difficulty, gave it over, and
others undertook it. "f The inducement which led him to attempt a settlement
at Yarmouth was undotibtedly the fact that in 1637 a large number of his former
parishioners removed from Lynn and commenced a settlement at Sandwich, near
Yarmouth, under a grant from" Phmiouth Colony. :t Bachiler' s settlement is said to
have been made in that part of Barnstable (then Yarmouth) called Old Town, and
was about one hundred miles from Ipswich, where he resided. His next remov-
al was to Newbury, where, on the 6th of July, 1638, the town made him a
grant of land, and on the 7th of October, 1638, the General Court of Massachu-
setts, in order to be rid of a troublesome pastor, and also to strengthen their claim
to the territory, more than three miles north of the Merrimac, granted Mr. Stephen
Bachiler and his company, who had petitioned therefor, liberty to begin a planta-

tion at Winnicunnet, now called Hampton, N. H. On Tuesday, October i6, 1638,
the settlement was begun, the journey from Newbury being made in a shallop. On
the 7th of June, 1639, Winnicunnet was made a town, and further about the same
time the said plantation (upon Mr. Bachiler's request made known to the Court)
was named Hampton, ji This name was most probably given in honor of Hampton,
that is, Southampton, in England, repeatedly refers to Southampton as Hampton. ||
It will also be remembered that South Stoneham, adjoining Southampton, and in the
gift of St. Mary's of Southampton, was the last residence of Mr. Bachiler in England,
in 1639, the inhabitants of Ipswich voted to give Mr. Bachiler sixty acres of upland
and twenty acres of meadow, if he would reside with them three years. He pre-
ferred his" settlement at Hampton. On the 5th of Jul}-, 1639, he and Christopher
Hussey sold their houses and lands in Newbury for six score pounas," and there-
after his entire interest was with the Hampton settlement. The town, in 1639,
granted their pastor three hundred acres of land for a farm, besides his house lot,
and he gave them a bell for the meeting house. This bell remained in use until
about February 15, 1703-4, when the town voted that the selectmen should agree with
William Partridge, Esq., to procure the town a good one from England of about
one hundred and thirtie weight and that they send to him the ould bell that is split
to mak of that what the sd Mr. Partridge can towards the paying for a new
one.'i The farm was laid out to him in the extreme southern limits of Hampton,
adjoining Salisbury. In Hampton record book, containing the grants in the year

with witnesses, if necessary, is the following:

The earliest statement of the bounds of Hampton is said to be taken from a
very old manuscript, and is as follows: Bounded on the north by Strawbeny Bank,
east by the Atlantic Ocean, south by Salisbury and west by the wilderness.* Nine
entire towns and parts of two towns have since been set off or established from
territory then belonging to Hampton.

In 1639 Rev. Timothy Dalton became teacher of the church at Hampton, Mr.
Bachiler remaining as pastor. From his arrival dates the fierce conflicts in the
church, which must have prevented either minister from accomplishing any good
in the community. The larger portion of the wor.shippers sided with Mr. Dalton,

having been his parishioners in England at Woolverstone, Ipswich, in Suffolk.f
This gave Dalton an advantage in the contest, though his opponent, educated in the
most famous English university, of excellent natural abilities, a keen disputant,
quick to attack the weak T^oint in his enemy's armor, courageous and imyielding,
was no mean antagonist. Bachiler was positive, earnest and convincing. He spoke
as one having authority and from knowledge of the truth. Dalton was younger,
more active, and perhaps more vehement, than his elder colleague. He was more
politic than Bachiler, but fully as tenacious of his opinions. By his residence in
Dedham, he had learned the plans and desires of Massachusetts, and earnestly
espoused them. He had the powerful support of the Bay Colony, and was perhaps
made teacher of the Hampton church in order to combat the pastor's independent
influence. The history of this three-years' contest between the pastor and teacher
of the church at Hampton has nearly passed into obscurity. The town records
show nothing concerning it. The church records of that date have disappeared.
The only thing remaining is Winthrop's relation of the utterly improbable story
that Mr. Bachiler evidently esteemed of pure life to that time, at the age of four
score years solicited the chastity of his neighbor's wife.:j: Winthrop adds, appar-
ently as a circumstance of aggravation, that Mr. Bachiler then had "a lusty, comely
woman to his wife. ' ' This was evidently one of the provoking matters which
Rev. Thomas Shepard advised Winthrop might be left to the judgment of others to
publish when the copy of his history was privately examined. That Winthrop
himself would have struck out this record if he had been alive at its publication is
extremely probable. Consider for a moment the evidence against this accusation.
I. The advanced age of the accused and his previous good character almost certainly
prove this story a fabrication. 2. The immorality of the settlers east of the Merrimack
was urged as a reason why that region should come under Massachusetts' rule. To
support that statement numerous people in the two eastern colonies were charged
with sexual crimes. It is doutful if anj' of them were true, except in the case of
Underbill, who was forgiven as soon as he had transferred his allegiance to the
Bay, and perhaps Burdett. minister at Agamenticus, who was indicted for adultery.
3. Such solicitation was criminal offense in those days, punishable with severe penal-
ties. § No indictment was ever found against Mr. Bachiler, and no charge ever
made against him to any magistrate. On the contrary, he charged his accusers
with the crime of slander before the magistrates. 4. Early in 1644, Mr. Bachiler
had a call to settle at Exeter. The path between Hampton and Exeter was short
and easily travelled. Hampton gossip was repeated in Exeter in a few days, if
the highly respectable people of Exeter had supposed there was a scintilla of truth in
the charges they would not have called the offender to be their pastor. Moreover,
the prohibition of the General Court of Massachusetts against Bachiler. settling
Exeter church. | If he had been supposed guilty of impurity it would have been a
conclusive reason against his settlement at Exeter, and we can hardly suspect the
General Court of dissembling and basing their action upon a weaker reason when a
stronger existed. Such was not their usual custom. 5. But it is said that he con-
fessed the crime, though he afterwards denied it. If true, that would end all con-
troversy. All writers on evidence declare that admissions or confessions are worthy
of little credence unless made in the plainest terms and with the clearest understand-
ing of the facts of the case. An examination of Winthrop's History would induce
us to believe that New England was then full of all kinds of sexual crimes, and that
nearly every person accused confessed his guilt. A slight examination of the acts,
which were deemed confessions in those days, show their utter untrustworthiness
as evidence. To refuse to plead either guilty or not guilty was wrested into a
confession. "7

. It is evident that Bachiler never confessed in words. The charge was based on
some alleged admission by conduct. The representation of Bachiler as a whiffling,
inconstant man is entirely foreign to his character. Winthrop's words, "He stiffly
denied it," clearly represent his disposition. He was a positive, obstinate, tena-
cious, unyielding man. When he made a statement he stood by his words, and did
not contradict them shortly after. It is almost impossible to believe that any excite-
ment arising from the outrageousness of the charge, any indignation aroused by his
innocence, or any fear caused by knowledge of guilt, could make him, on a single

occasion only, in the course of his long and contentious life, uncertain and vaccilat-
ing. He was evidently misunderstood or misrepresented. Probably the latter.
The so-called confession had this basis and no more. Bachiler's project had failed.
The Bay Colony had succeeded in its design against New Hampshire. The opposi-
tion to Bachiler in the church at Hampton, previously a majority, was greatly
strengthened by union of the provinces in 1641. Dalton had succeeded in excom-
municating him. At last, wearied with the contest, Bachiler accepted the inevitable
and agreed to remove "for peace's sake," as he wrote Winthrop. In order to justify
to Winthrop their unlawful act in excommunicating Bachiler, Dalton and his adher-
ents told Winthrop that Bachiler had confessed the truth of the charge, and claimed
that his offer to remove voluntarily was a confession iu guilt That this act was a
confession was indignantly denied by the pastor, and so arose the charge that he
confessed and then retracted his confession. What absurd constructions were
given to words in those days in order to allege that a confession had been made can
be seen by examining Wheelwright's letter in connection with the statement of the
Massachusetts General Court, in 1644, that Mr. Wheelwright had made a particular,
solemn and serious acknowledgement and confession of his evil carriages and of
the Court's justice upon him for them." Winthrop accepted as true the word of
Bachiler's enemies, and neglected to give the aged pastor a hearing for his vindica-
tion, though urgently demanded. 6. The Hampton records of this date are silent
in regard to this matter and the church records have been missing for many years.
They can give no testimony either way. 7. No. tradition exists in Hampton, or,
so far as can be learned, has ever existed, giving the name of this woman or her
husband, and no written evidence of any kind has ever been produced, except the
story as preserved by Winthrop. Who was this woman? Was the complaint made
promptly? Was her word worthy of credence? Was she of pure life? Did she per-
sist in her declaration? Did she afterwards retract the charge? Did she live in
Hampton many years afterwards, and was she during this time on friendly terms
with the accused until his removal from town? We cannot test the truth of the
charge by answers to these questions, for we have no evidence on these points.
8. During all this time Bachiler was carrying on a correspondence with Governor
Winthrop and members of his family. If he had confessed the crime Dalton would
have promptly notified Winthrop of that fact, and Bachiler would soon have found
that Winthrop knew it. On the contrarj-, at the end of the year 1643 we find him
writing to the church at Boston that he does not see how he can leave Hampton
until he has cleared and vindicated the wrongs he has suffered in the church of
which he was still a member. He demands a trial of his allegations against Mr.
Dalton and of Dalton's defense. He says that divers elders and brethren have
looked slightly into the troubles, but there has never been a judicial trial of them.
He affirms that his excommunication as the foulest matter, both for the cause
alleged and the real cause (even wrath and revenge). The proceedings of Dalton
against him he declares to be monstrous and fearful. Brook says; "The supposition
that the charges of . immorality against Hugh Peter were true is inconsistent with
the intimate relations which he is known to have sustained to many eminent men of
unquestionable worth.*

9. Would Winthrop and Ins family have been friends and correspondents of one
whom they knew to be immoraP

It must be remembered that no charge is so easily made, so readily believed
without proof, and so difficult to disprove. The allegation alone is frequently
considered full proof. It was not incumbent on the accused to prove the negative,
that he was not guilty. The burden of proof was on the complainant to make out a
case, and it certainly never was proven. The testimony of the woman, aided by
confession, would have made a strong case for the Colony m a criminal prosecution,
and as tlie respondent could not testify it would have been impossible to produce
any legal evidence in his behalf. This fact clearly indicates that no confession that
could have been received in court was ever made. In a like case in 1642, supported
by similar evidence. Rev. James Parker, then of Portsmouth, thought the matter
not worthy of complaint for lack of evidence, and did not report it to the Massa-
chusetts magistrates, f- to. Nearly two years after his excommunication, the matter
was referred to some magistrates and elders, and thmugh their mediation he was
released of his excommanication, but not received to his pastor's office. It is
undoubtedly to this half undoing of the great wrong done him that Bachiler refers
in his letter to the church in Boston in 1643, when he says: "Whiles my cause (tho

searching forth of things, & an impatiall tryall of my allegations & his defence.":!^
Was not reversal of the punishment a vindication of the accused? That the medi-
ators refused to restore him to his office of pastor was due to the divided state of
the Hampton church, not to any delinquency on the pastor's part. ii. The year he
was excommunicated he was chosen umpire in the important suit of Cleeve vs.
Winter, and Winter vs. Cleeve, involving title to the land now occupied by the city
of Portland, Me. It is possible that this appointment v/as prior to his excommuni-
cation, but in 1643 he received a call to Casco. They must then have known the
slander. Did they discredit it, or did they consider it no wrong? 12. Even Governor
Wmthrop was evidently ashamed of the means used by Dalton to destroy the good
name of Mr. Bachiler, as he adds to his account of the trouble, "his fellow elder,
Mr. Dalton (who, indeed, had not carried himself in this cause so well as became
him, and was brought to see his failing and acknowledge it to the elders of the other
churches, who had taken much pains about this matter)." How unjustifiable must
have been Dalton's conduct to induce Governor Winthrop to censure him in this
manner, when Dalton was his friend, perhaps his relative, certainly a relative of his
son, John Winthrop, and an orthodox Puritan, for acts done in interest of the
Bay Colony 1 The penitence of Dalton, however, could not undo the wrong to
Bachiler. Was not the gift of most of her property to Nathaniel Bachiler. senior,
the grandson of Rev. Stephen, by the widow Ruth, relict of Rev. Timothy Dalton,
evidence of an attempt on her part to atone as far as possible for the wrong done by
her husband to Nathaniel's grandfather? Jj We have thus briefly indicated a few of
the improbabilities of the story as it has come down to us. It seems utterly
unworthy of belief, and it may safely be charged to the bitterness of the disputes
which then existed in religions and secular matters. The call to Casco, already
mentioned, was received in the latter part of 1643. George Cleeve wrote Governor
Winthrop the 27th of the nth month, 1643, that "they, (the inhabitants of Lygonia)
seeing us about to settle ourselves under the ministry, and that the Lord will
gather a church amongst us,|l Bachiler communicated with the church at Boston and
received from the magistrates and elders a letter of advice urging the acceptance of the
call, presumably because they were weary of the bickering at Hampton, and thought it
would be ended by the removal of Mr. Bachiler. He replied to this letter of advice,
under the date of the "26th of this last m 1643," objecting that his removal from
Hampton to Casco was forced b}' unjust proceedings, as well as by an honorable
calling from Casco, and like honorable advice from the church m Boston. He states
his unwillingness to accept the call before he has a hearing of his allegations against
Dalton, and asks for a full trial of the same. He said he had promised to go to
Casco and confer with them in regard to the call about the last week of March,
1613-4. This call probably came from Clefeve, who had recently returned from
England with a commission from Rigby as deputj- president of Lj^gonia. While
the call to Casco was under consideration, and very early in 1644. Mr. Bachiler
received a call to Exeter. By a letter dated the iSth or 19th of this third month,
1644, written by Mr. Bachiler, we learn that the ^Massachusetts magistrates and
elders had considered this last call, and had simply advised Mr. Bachiler to remove
from Hampton, leaving him apparently free to choose whichever settlement he
pleased. As he had not accepted the call to Casco, he choose to settle at Exeter,
and notified the Exeter church of his acceptance. He also voluntarily suggested to
the Exeter people that they could not expect to maintain a church and minister long
unless they made provisions for a parsonage, and offered to contribute ^40, nearly
the whole of his annual salary, toward the purchase of Mr. Wheelwright's house
for that purpose. The day of the helpers' meeting was agreed upon, and the persons
and materials of their intended church. An unexpected event, howevei^ was to
prevent his settlement. The Bay Colony, discovering the intended settlement at
Exeter, then within their jurisdiction, promptly forbade the gathering of a church
there. Just ten days after receiving notice of the proposed settlement at Exeter,
the General Court of Massachusetts, held at Boston May 29, 1644, adopted the fol-
lowing order:

"Whereas, it appears to this Cort that some of the inhabitants of Exeter do
intend shortly to gather a church & call Mr. Bachiler to be their minister, &
forasmuch as the divisions & contentions wch are among the inhabitants there are
iudged by this Cort to bee such as for the psnt they cannot comfortably & wth

appbation pceed in so weigbtly & sacred affaires, it is therefore ordered, that direc-
tion shal be fourth wth sent to the said inhabitants to deferr the gathering of any-
church, or other such pceeding untill this Cort or the Cort at Ipswich (upon further
satisfaction of their reconciliation & fitness) shall give allowance thereunto."iy

That the true reason for the prohibition was stated in this order is evident
because that reason could be inquired into by the Ispwich court, and upon evidence
of their reconciliation and fitness the order of the General Court could be revoked.
Winthrop gives the same reason, and adds, "and beside, Mr. Batchellor had been
in three places before, and through his means, as was supposed, the churches fell to
such divisions, as no peace could be till he was removed."* The General Court
evidently did not care to put its opposition on that ground. Accepting the inevita-
ble, Mr. Bachiler settled down at Hampton again. He was a church member, but
probably did not preach. At a general court of election, held at Boston, May 29,
1644, it was ordered that "Mr. Bellingham, Mr. Saltonstall & Mr. Symonds are
appointed a committee & have full power to heer & determine all business at
Hampton both about their differences, offences & a new plantation according to
their several petitions, "f On the nth day of June, 1644, on petition of Xpofer
Hussie and eighteen others of ye inhabitants of Hampton, "Mr. Bellingham, Mr.
Saltonstall & Mr. Broadstreet are a comittee to examine and judge the differences
between the inhabitants.:}: This was undoubtedly a petition of the adherents of
Bachiler, as Hussey was his son-in-law. It will be noticed that the commissioners
are the same as previously appointed, except that Mr. Bradstreet takes the place of
Mr. Symonds. The first order was adopted the very day the Exeter settlement
was prohibited. The latter was nearly a fortnight later ; ver}' likely the appointment
of Mr. Symonds was offensive to Mr. Bachiler. The same year, November 12,
1644, it is ordered by the Massachusetts General Court that Mr. Samuell Dudley,
Mr. Carlton & Mr. John Saunders of Salsberry shal be comissionrs to here and
examine all matters concerning Mr. Bachiler & Hampton: & they have power to
examine witnesses upon oath, whereby they may returne the truth of the case to
the next Genrall Cort of Election."^ Under date of July 15, 1644, Winthrop says:
"The contentions in Hampton were grown to a great height, the whole town was
divided into two factions, one with I\Ir. Batcheller, their late pastor, and the other
with Mr. Dalton, their teacher, both men very passionate and wanting discretion
and moderation. Their diff^erences were not in matters of opinion, but of practise.
Mr. Dalton's party being the most of the church, and so freemen had great advan-
tage of the other, though a considerable party, and some of them of the church also,
whereby they carried all aft'aiers, both in church and town, according to their own
minds, and not with that respect to their brethren and neighbors which had been
fit. Divers meetings had been, both of magistrates and elders, and parties had been
reconciled, but brake out presently again, each side being apt to take fire upon any
provocation. Whereupon Mr. Bachellor was advised to remove, * * * and at
this court there came petition against petition both from Hampton and Exeter;
whereupon the court ordered two or three magistrates to be sent to Hampton with
full power to hear and determine all dift'erences there." |

May 14, 1635, "In answer to Mr. Bachiler's peticon, ye House of Depts conceave
it not meet to allow him anything, but leave hime at his liberty to seeke his remedy
at any of ye Courts of Salem or Ispwich. ■[ This was probably a petition to the
General Court to malce him some allowance for his services at Hampton. About
this time, probably, his second wife, Hellen, died at Hampton, aged about sixty
years. He sold his farm at Hampton to William Howard and Thomas Ward in
1644, and they sold it to the towm, who afterwards granted it to Rev. John Wheel-
wright.

On the 26th of April, 1647, Mr. Bachiler had left Hampton, and was living in
Portsmouth, then called Strawberry Bank. On that day he conveyed all his remain-
ing estate at Hampton, including all grants not appointed, to his grandson, John
Sanborn, who was to give bond to pay the grantor's other three grandchildren,
namely, Nathaniel Bachiler, Stephen Samborn and William Samborn, ^^20 each.*

Bachiler was never settled ministerially at Strawberry Bank, but undoubtedly
preached there a part of the time. I

Portsmouth then had no settled Congregational minister. "That godly man and
a scholar," James Parker, who, though not settled, had preached there several
years, had shortly before gone to Barbadoes. | On the 27th of June, 1647, James
Woodward made his will, and appointed j\Ir. Bachiler one of his overseers. This
► will was proved at Dover September 10, 1647..:; On the 6: 2 mo. : 1650, the town of
Hampton authorized the three men, William Fuller, William Esto and Francis
Peabody, as they are summonsed to answer Mr. Bachiler's action at Solsbery Court,
m the towne's behalf. J Shortly after his removal to Strawberry Bank, Mr. Bachiler's
usual good judgment seems to have deserted him. He was a widower, and
obtained for a housekeeper a widow, whom he calls "an honest neighbour. ' ' He soon
married her, and the match turned out in every way unfortunate. She was an
adultress, and her husband speedily discovered her character. 'His third marriage
is usually said to have been contracted early in 1650, but as the town of Kittery
granted her a lot, under the name of Mrs. Batcheller, on the 14th of February, 164S, ||
the marriage must have taken place in 1647 or 164S, when he was eighty-six or eighty-
seven years old. His wife, IMary, was evidently much younger than he. In May,
1650, he was fined ;^io for not publishing his intention of marriage according to law.
In October of the same year, one-half of this fine was remitted. Perhaps the
following extract from the Gorgeana Records may explain this leniency: "At a
General court houlden at Gorgeana the 15th of Octor., 1650, George Rogers & Mrs.
Batcheller prsented upon vehement suspition of incontinenc}- for liveing in one
house together & being in one rome. They are to be separated before the next court
or to pay 40s. ' ' '^

Lewis copies from the York records, under date of October 15, 1631, the follow-
ing: "We do present George Rogers and Mary Batcheller, the wife of Mr. Stephen
Batcheller, minister, for adultery. It is ordered that Mrs. Batcheller, for her adultery,
shall receive forty stripes save one, at the first town meeting held at Kittery, 6 weeks
after her delivery, and be branded with the letter A."* These appear clearly to be
two separate offences. In October of the same year, the Court passed the following
order: "That Mr. Batchelor and his wife shall lyve togeather as man and wife, as
in this Court they have publiquely professed to doe ; and if either desert one
another, then hereby the Court doth order that the marshal shall apprehend both
the said Mr. Batchelor and Mary his wife, and bring them forthwith to Boston,
there to be kept till the next Quarter Court of Assistants, that farther consideration
thereof may be had, both of them moving for a divorce: and this order shall be
sufficient order soe to doe: provided notwithstanding, that if they put in /fso each
of them for their appearance, with such sureties as the commissioners or any of
them for the county shall think good to accept of, that then they shall be under
their baile, to appear at the next Court of Assistants : and in case Mary Batchelor
shall live out of the jurisdiction without mutual consent for a time that then the
dark shall give notice to the magistrate att Boston, of her absence, that further
order may be taken therein." It is evident that Mr. Bachiler charged his wife with
adultery and prayed for a divorce. The here was deferred to the next court of
assistants. She had been indicted for adultery in Maine. In view of these facts, the
above order is most atrocious. The man is ordered to live as a husband with an
adultress during the pendency of divorce proceedings for that cause, and a term in
jail is threatened for disobedience of the order with the usual privilege of giving
bail. Was not Lewis' explanation of this unaccountable order the correct one,
namely, that there was a settled determination to make his continuance here as
uncomfortable as possible? After her separation from her husband Mrs. Mary
Bachiler lived on her lot in Kittery, granted her m 164S, adjoining the Piscataqua
river, nearly oiiposite the boundary line between Portsmouth and Newington.
What became of her and her children after October, 1656. when they were living in
Kittery, is not known, but the name, "Mary Bachellor's Highway," is given as the
northwest boundary of a lot at Kittery, conveyed by William Hilton, of Exeter, to
his son, Richard, May, 4, 1684.!

BATCHELDER GENEALOGY. 37

On the 14th of October, 1651, in answer to the petition of Richard Swayne,
Wm. Swayne and others of the towne of Hampton, itt is ordered, that whatsoever
goods or lands have binn taken away by Edward Colcord or John Samborn, upon
pretence of being authorized by Mr. Batchelor, either with or without execution,
shall be retourned to them from whom it was taken and the execution, to he called
in and no more to be graunted untill there appear sufficient power from Mr.
Batchelor to recover the same to the County Court either of Salisbury or Hampton.:}:
That is, in 1645 the General Court refers him to the courts at Salem or Ispwich for^
relief in some matter about which he had petitioned them, apparently concerning
his claim on Hampton for services.

In 1647, he brought suit in a court of like jurisdiction, at Salisbury, recovers
. judgment, obtains execution and attempts to levy, not on the town, but on private
property. Naturally, he levied on the property of his well-to-do opponents, and as
naturally they objected to paying the town's debts. Justice required an order that
the town of Hampton should raise the amount of the executions in their next tax
levy, as the statute allowing persons having executions against towns, whick
they cannot collect, to levy on private property, was not then enacted. Instead of
such order to levy a tax and pay the executions, he was ordered to retry his case in
court. Hampton was then a rich and prosperous town, and up to 1700 paid a larger
share of the Province tax that any other town in New Hampshire. § At length,
wearied with the unsuccessful conflict and the constant disappointment of his
expectations, heartsick with the failure of all his plans for a quiet rest for his old
age in that "band of righteousness," which, he says, "our New England is, " he
decided to return to England. Harried and persecuted by the vindictiveness of the
bishops of England for more than a quarter of a century, he came hither to escape
their persecution. He found, not the peace he sought, but a conflict more bitter and
persistent than ever he had experienced in England. Persecution here was unham-
pered by any laws or limitations. Appeal was in vain. A few attempts were made
to review unlawful acts of the colonies in England, but the delays were intermina-
ble, the process costly and the results unsatisfactory. His matrimonial difficulties
also led him to return to England. His petition for divorce seems not to have been
granted, and we know of no modification of the order that he should continue to
live with adulterous wife. How could he escape that wicked woman except by
placing the ocean between himself and her? Another strong reason for his journey
home is found in the changed state of political afl^airs there. The kingdom no longer
existed. Charles I. and Stafford had been beheaded. Episcopacy as a state religion
had been abolished. Edghill, Marston Moor, Naseby and Worcester had fought.
The commonwealth had been established. Oliver Cromwell had just become Lord
Protector. No wonder the aged minister longed to look upon England under these
changed conditions. It has been said that he was a friend of Cromwell. Whether
true or not, his friends were now at the head of affairs in England, and his enemies
had been signally defeated. Most of his relatives had been left behind when he
came to America. Many of his intimate friends here had already gone back. He
was poor in worldly goods. He had met with severe loss in the failure of the Com-
pany of Husbandmen. He had received no pa^^ from the Hampton Church except
grants of land. His house, books and "near all his substance," to the value of
;if200, had been burned at Hampton in 1641. His expenses in furthering the
Hampton plantation were large. He gave all his property in Hampton to his
grandchildren m 1647. He had only the amount received for his farm, which must
have been greatly diminished by his expensive removals, his support at Portsmouth
and his fare to England, unless he had saved some portion of the money received
for his Newbury estate, which is not likely, as Wmthrop calls him poor in 1637,
when he went to Yarmouth. Anywhere from 1650 to 1656 has been assigned as the
date of his return to England. || The earlier date is apparently due to the inaccurate
statement of his faithless wife in 1656, that he had "transported himself unto ould
England for many years since," and the fact that nothing is known with certainty
about his residence here after 1650. We have only one means of determining the
latest time when he was certainly in this country. If his grandson, Stephen Samborn,
returned to England with Mr. Bachiler, as has always been believed, we can tell some-
thing about the time of his departure. In the Norfolk County Records at Salem,

BATCHELDER GENEALOGY.

Mass., among Hampton, N. H, births, is found Dorethia, the daughter of Stephen
Samborn and Sarah, his wife, on the 2d of the first month. 1653. As less than
three years' absence is about as short a time as one would dare call "many years
since," it is most probable that Mr. Bachiler went back in 1654, perhaps early in the
summer, when pleasant weather might be expected on the ocean. From what port
he sailed and where he landed are unknown. We know only that a vagrant tradi-
tion represents him as walking in London with one of his sons after his return, and
that it was almost impossible to determine which ot the two was the elder. The
probability of the tradition detracts strongly from its credit as actual history.
The abandoned woman, left here, as if anxious to do her husband all the wrong in
her power, declared, in 1656, that she had been credibly informed that he had mar-
ried a fourth wife in England. No other evidence than her worthless and unsup-
ported word exists to support this charge, and even if her statement be true, her
information may have been utterly untrustworthy. It was mere hearsay at best.
No marriage license has yet been discovered. In October, 1856, Mary Bachiler
petitioned the General Court at Boston for leave to marry, notwithstanding her
marriage to Mr. Bachiler, setting forth the necessities of herself and her two sick
children.T[ This petition for divorce was referred to the next County Court at York
for examination, to report to the next Court of Assistants.** It is a sad story exhib-
ited by the court records concerning Mary Bachiler, and all will agree that her
punishment was severe, being visited even upon her children. Of his life in
England, after his return, we know nothing; very likely he lived at Hackney,
where he died, as that pleasant suburb, now a part of the great metropolis, was a
comfortable residence for retired ministers. The last entry concerning Mr.
Bachiler is as follows: The ancient Stephen Bachiler, of Hampton, N. H., died at
Hackney, a Village & Parish in Middlesex, 2 miles from London, in 1660, m the
looth year of his age.*

Thus, with the Commonwealth, passed away his life. It had been singularly
stormy and contentious. What was his character? He must have had rare physical
as well as intellectual vigor. From tradition and the characteristics of his descend-
ants, it is probable that he was tall and sinewy, with prominent features, especially
the nose; a very dark complexion; black, coarse hair in early days, white in age,
mouth large and firm , eyes black as sloes ; features long rather than broad ; a strong,
clear voice; rather slow of motion and speech; simple in dress, wearing in Lynn
a suit of liste which he brought from England; obstinate and tenacious of his
opinions to a marked degree; a powerful preacher, drawing largely from the
scripture and impressing his hearers with the uncommon power and sanctity of his
sermons; strong in his friendships and his hates. Winthrop classed him among
"honest men" when he arrived in 1632, and Prince, in his Annals of New England,
Appendix to 1632, says: ("From Governor Winslow and Captain Johnson, we learn
that) he (Stephen Bachiler) was an ancient minister in England; had been a man of
Fame in his Day: was 71 years of Age when he came over : bro't a number of people
with him: and soon became the ist Feeder of the Flock of Christ at Lynn (and by
several Letters I have seen of his own Writing to the R. Mr. Cotton of Boston,
I find he was a Gentleman of Learning and Ingenuity, and wrote a fine and curious
hand.")

Freeman, in his History of Cape Cod, says:f Of Mr. Batchelor much has been
gratuitously written to his disparagement. From all that we gather from his con-
temporaries, we infer that he was learned, and, in the judgement of Charity a good
man; but that his whole life, extending through nearly a century of years, was
singularly pregnant with incidents of trial. These were not chiefly the result of
ejectment for nonconformity. Mr. Batchelor's greatest trials were quite another
source: and it is surprising how far-reaching were early attempts to frame excuses
for harassing with penalties and pursuing with vindictiveness those who fell under
"suspicion." It is equally notable how ready are some at the present day to
catch the strain and labor to justify the detraction even by doubtful traditional cir-
cumstances develope, whether with or without foundation ex post facts. Those
interested in heraldry can see a description of his coat-of-arms m Morgan's Sphere
of the (lentry, printed in 1661. It consists of a plough, beneath which is a rising
sun. In the technical language of heraldry it is "Vert a plough in fesse, and in
base the sun rising or," The author calls it the coat of "Cain, Adam's son," with-

out apparently meaning more than that it denoted a husbandman or tiller of the soil,
as Cain was. He says it did appertain to Stephen Bachelor, the first pastor of the
church of Ligonia, in New England, which bearing was answerable to his profession
in plowing up the fallow ground of their hearts, and the sun appearing in that part
of the world alluded to his motto, "Sol Justitite Exoritur." We may guess that
he received this coat-of-arms when he was called as pastor of the Plough Company,
about 1629 or 1630, probably because of his zeal m forwarding the interests of that
company. Morgan seems to have known him only by his connections with the
Plough Colony at Ligonia, now Cape Elizabeth, Maine. The names of four children
of Rev. Stephen Bachiler are known with certainty. Deborah, born in 1592, child
of his first wife; Stephen, born in 1594, son of the first wife; Ann, born in 1601,
probably of the first wife; and Theodate, who died October, 20, 1649, at Hampton,
N. H. That Nathaniel Bachiler, senior, of Hampton, was the grandson and not the
son of our Rev. Stephen Bachiler is proved beyond question by Rev. Stephen's deed
to his four grandchildren in 1647, before cited, in which Nathaniel Bachiler is
called his grandson. This cannot by any possibility refer to Nathaniel Bachiler,
junior, for he was not born until eleven years after the deed was made, and yet the
statement that Nathaniel Bachiler, senior, was a son of Rev. Stephen may be strictly
correct. If the younger Stephen, son of the emigrant Stephen, entered the ministry
after leaving Magdalen College, Oxford, as is quite probable, and died about 1630,
the confusion would easily arise. To conjecture is dangerous, but the assumption so
well explains the confusion that it is worth stating in the hope that it may be speedily
disproved, if untrue. If it should hereafter be confirmed, it will probably be found
that the Stephen Bachiler, who witnessed the will of Edmund Alleyn of Hatfield Pev-
erell, Essex, February 19, 1615, was the younger of that name. Francis and Stephen
Bachiler, of London in 16S5, were brothers of Nathaniel, and therefore grandchildren
of our Rev. Stephen. Whoever considers that Bachiler's life was wasted, because
neither richesnor temporal honors were obtained by him, knows little of the manner
in which reforms are accomplished. One thing for which he bitterly contended is
universally conceded, and people wonder that it was ever disputed. The separation
of church and state is recognized as unquestionably right by all his opponents, and
his firm stand in behalf of the liberty of New Hampshire loses nothing because it
was unsuccessful. Success would have left in doubt his firmness in standing out
when the consequences were certain to be his practical destruction and utter ruin.
We know now that he had that firmness which rendered him utterly regardless
of consequences to himself when conscious that his motives and judgment were
right.

Henry Arthur, late of Standford Dingley, in Co. Berks, gent.,
complains that about August, 1630, took into his service Jane Cow-
per, spinster, agreeing to pay her 40s. a year, although she was so
sickly that the other servants were compelled to do almost all her
work. Afterwards her aunt, Katherine Smyth, who then lived in
the house where pit. dwells, left her a legacy of ^20. After a
great deal of trouble pit. got the money for her and in return she
lent it to him for a year, and pit. returned it to her and her hus-
band, William Batcheler, except a small sum, which pit. kept back
for her food "as she was somethinge fyne in her dyett" when she
was living at her own request in pits, house after she received the
said legacy. The answers of William Bacheler and Jane, his wife.
The sd Jane says that pit. borrowed ^'4 of her, and that she in her
turn borrowed 40s. of Margery Pryne, dau. of Mrs. Prine. She
was persuaded by pits, landlord, Ric. Smith, to lend the said ;^20
to pit. The said William Batchelor says that he married the said
Jane Cowper in October, 1632, and afterwards demanded the sd
money of pit., who only repaid part of it.

SHATTUCK SCHOOL, FARIBAULT, MINN.— There have been in the

think he was an orphan. He was here in '79-80; did not graduate. The second
was Fred Everts Batchelder, son of George F. Batchelder, who was at 84 Lake
street, Chicago, at the time his son was here, from '80 to '82; I think he afterwards
went to Denver, but I know nothing of the son after he left school. He did not
graduate. The third was Charles S. Batchelder, who is now a lawyer in this city.
The last was John D. Batchelder, who graduated here in 'go. from University of
Vermont in '94, and is now studying in Berlin. He has also been admitted to the
Bar. He and Charles S. Batchelder are brothers, sons of Mr. George W. Batchel-

DESCENDANTS OF REV. STEPHEN BACHILER.

I. REV. STEPHEN BACHILER, b. in England in 1561; m.

she d. in England; m. 2d, in England, Helen , b. 1583, d. 1642; m. 3d, about

1648, Mary .

Rev. Stephen Bachiler was born in 1561, matriculated at St. John's College,
Oxford, in 1581, and in 1586, at the age of twenty-six, was presented by Lord de la
Warr to the living of Wherwell ("Horrell"), a pretty village in Hampshire, on the
river Test. The Oxford registers do not give Mr. Bachiler's home, but there was
at Kingsclere, Burghclere and Highclere (a few miles from Wherwell), a large family
of Bachilers; and at Upper Clatford in 1571 there died a Richard Bachiler whose
will mentions several family names early found in Hampton, N. H. While Stephen
Bachiler was at Wherwell, there was living at Andover and Weyhill, a few miles
away. Rev. James Samborne, whose son,* Rev. James Samborne, Jr., was rector
of Grately (near by) in 1604, and of Upper Clatford from 1610 to 1628. Anne Sam-
borne, a cousin of Rev. James Samborne, Sr., married Rev. Anthony Gattonby,
rector from 1572 to 1605 of Goodworth Clatford, the next parish to Wherwell.
These SSmbornes were of a Berkshire family which derived its Hampshire con-
nection from a marriage with the Brocas family of Beaurepaire (a few miles east of
Wherwell) and the Rogers family of Freefolk (the next parish east of Wherwell).
This Rogers connection made the Sambornes heirs to the estates of the Lisles of
Thruxton, a parish near Andover, and thus associated the Samborne family with
Hampshire. In 1605 Mr. Bachiler was "deprived" of his benefice, presumably for
Calvinistic opinions, and by order of the commission appointed by James I. to in-
vestigate religious opinions. One member of this commission was Lord de la
Warr, a son of the nobleman who had presented Mr. Bachiler to the living of
Wherwell. Mr. Bachiler is said to have taken refuge in Holland, as the Plymouth
Pilgrims did in 1608, but no record of his life there is found. His son-m-law. Rev.
John Wing, was the first pastor of an English church at Middleburgh in Holland,
from 1620 onward; and it is curious to note that a Mr. Samuel Bachiler, minister in
Sir Charles Morgan's^ fighting regiment in Holland, was the same year called to a
pastorate in Flushing, but declined. May it not be that this was a son of Rev.
Stephen Bachiler? Samuel Bachiler was the author of a book called "Miles Chris-
tianus"! (perhaps the same volume which Mr. Bachiler sent to Margaret Tyndall,
Governor Winthrop's wife, in October, 1639, from Hampton). ^

In this letter Mr. Bachiler mistakes Mrs. Winthrop's Christian name, calling
her "Alice" instead of Margaret; but that was pardonable, for John Winthrop had
three wives before he was thirty-four years old, and a patriarch of seventy-eight,
like Bachiler, could hardly be expected to recall them all. But he had dined with
this Mrs. Margaret Winthrop, at Groton, Eng., June_, 11, 1621, and no doubt on

The above is the title-page of Bachiler's book; it is a thin, small, quarto bound in vellum,— 55
pages in a'l, — a sermon, rather dull apparently. There is a three-page preface addressed "To

other occasions, and could properly address her as "Auncient & Christian Frende."
He went on to say:

"I present my great respect and thankfulness unto you in a little token. And
though it be little in itself, yet dolh it coniain greater weight of true worth than can
easily be comprehended but of the spiritual man . . . Looking among some
special reserved books, and lighting on this little treatise* of one of mine own poor
children, I conceived nothing might suit more to my love, nor your acceptance. As
God gives you leisure to read anything that may further your piety, and hope of a
better life than this, if you shall please to vouchsafe a little part of that time to
read this by degrees, I shall judge it more than a sufficient satisfaction to my
love and desire of furthering you in the way of grace."

I suppose this "Clinstian Soldier" of Samuel Bachiler to have been a sermon
on the religious life, suggested by his experience with the English volunteers in
Holland, and perhaps preached there, and even printed, as many Puritan works
were, outside of England, in order to escape the prohibition of the archbishop's
licenser, for Laud, from 1635 onward, was very strict to keep back Calvmistic
books from circulation in England. If Stephen Bachiler brought many copies of it
to New Hampshire, as he may well have done, they were probably burned, with
his library, a few years later; since he mentions, in a letter to Winthrop in 1644, he
has "had great loss by fire, well known, to the value of ;^2oo, with my whole study
of books" m Hampton. In the same letter, written when he was proposing to settle
in Exeter, he tells Winthrop that "I procured the plantation for them [at Hampton]
and have been at great charges in many ways since, for the upholding and further-
ing of the same; yet I never had any maintenance from them hitherto." •»

Assuming that Stephen Bachiler was in Holland for a time, it seems probable
this was between 1607 and 1620, although no record has yet been found concerning
him in the church, town, or military registers of Middleburgh or Flushing, where
his kindred were. But when in London (June 23, 1631), and while he was making
preparation to come to New England, permission was granted to him and his wife
Helen, with his daughter, "Ann Sandburn, widow" — the latter described as living
in the Strand, London — to go to Flushing for two months to visit his sons and
daughters there. Flushing is in Zealand near Middleburgh, and was garrisoned by
English soldiers for more than half a century, beginning m 1572. It was easy of
access from England, even in time of war; and war was going on in Holland dur-
ing all the early years of the seventeenth century. Probably Mr. Bachiler's children
and grandchildren were on the island of Walcheren, which contains both Flushing
and Middleburgh.

Soon after leaving Wherwell, Mr. Bachiler settled in Newton Stacy, the nearest
hamlet on the east. There he bought and sold land from 1622 to 1631, as Mr.
"Waters and I found in the "Feet of Fines" for Hampshire, which contain the fol-
lowing:!

"Paschal Term, 1622: Stephen Bachiler, clerk, bought of George Hunter and
Dorothy his wife, and Edward Abbott, one garden, one orchard, 44 acres of land,
one acre pasture — all in Newton Stacy, Hants."

"Paschal Term, 1629: Stephen Bachiler, clerk, bought of H. HoUoway one cot-
tage, two gardens, two orchards, 40 acres of land — all in Newton Stacy, Hants."

These purchases gave a considerable property, all of which was turned into
money by Mr. Bachiler before sailing for Boston m the William and Francis, March
g, 1632— as these entries show:

"Michaelmas Term, 1630: W. Houghton, Thomas Roberts at al. bought of
Stephen Bachiler, clerk, and Helen his wife, two gardens, two orchards, 80 acres of
land — two acres pasture — all in Newton Stacy, Hants. "J

*In 162(5 Samuel Bachiler published another treatise on religious question?, mixed with
politics, entitled "The Dangers Hanging over the Head of England and France," but it is not
likely this was the book sent to Mrs. Winthrop.

About 1629 a colonizing society (the "Plow Company") was organized in Eng-
land, to settle the so-called "Plow Patent" in Maine (Casco) ; and Mr. Bachiler,
then sixtj'-eight years old, was its pastor. His son-in-law, Christopher Hussey, of
Dorking (but perhaps the kinsman of Christopher Hussey, mayor of Winchester in
1609, 1618 and 1631), emigrated to New England in the summer of 1630, and settled
at Lynn, where Mr. Bachiler joined the family two years later. The Plow Com-
pany failed, "by the false dealing of those entrusted by us with the Plough's ship
and our goods therem;" and Mr. Bachiler formed a small church in Lynn — baptiz-
ing first his grandson, Stephen Hussey, born in 1630. He had come over in the

Samborne, landing at Boston June 5, 1632, when neither his wife nor the widow

Christopher Hussey, deacon and captain, son of John, was bom
in Dorking, England, 1595-6. Of his early education and employ-
ment little is known, nor do we know where his father died. With
many of his countrymen he was driven by religious persecution to
Holland, and it was thought he was one of the parishioners of Rev.
Stephen Bachiler. It is stated in several works that Mr. Hussey
was engaged to be married to Mr. Bachiler's daughter, but that
clergyman objected until his prospective son-in-law deciaed to
emigrate with him to America. It was only upon this condition
that he would consent to the marriage. It is said they were mar-
ried in England, probably before their sojourn to Holland. Hus-
sey, with his wife and widowed mother, arrived at Charlestown,
Mass., July 23, 1630, in the William and Francis, which sailed
from Southampton some time in May. Two years later they re-
moved to their home in Saugus (Lynn), Mrs. Hus.sey's father
and some others of the family with their friends and acquaint-
ances from England joining them. Mr. Bachiler established his
church immediately in Lynn. On his first Sabbath he baptized
four children. On being asked to baptize one of the children he
refused, saying he would baptize his own grandchild first, Stephen
Hussey, the second white child born in Lynn. Christopher sub-
sequently removed, with his mother, to Hampton, N. H., and was
one of the grantees of the town. He was the first deacon of the
church there established, and a prominent and influential man.
His farm was on the falls side of the town, to which place he re-
moved a few years after settlement.

He died in Haverhill in 1830, leaving four children, one of whom
was John Greenleaf Whittier, sometimes called "The Hermit
of Amesbury," "The Woodthrush of Essex," "The Martial Qua-
ker," "The Poet of Freedom," "The Poet of Moral Sentiment"
and "The Preacher Poet." Abigail Hussey, the mother _of^ the

was married in Holland. In 1639, in company with his father-in-

law, he settled in Hampton, N. H., on a grant of 300 acres of land.
They later became Quakers and a descendant, John Hussey, of
Hampton, was a preacher to the Quakers at Wilmington, Del.
The mother of the poet was a devoted disciple of the Society of
Friends. She was a person of deep and tender religious nature
and this is evident to one looking at her oil painting. The poet
once said the reason why his mother moved to Amesbury was
that she might be near the little Friends meeting in that place.
John Greenleaf Whittier was born at Haverhill, Mass., Dec. 17,
1807. Until the age of eighteen he worked on a farm and occa-
sionally as a shoemaker. In 1825 he entered a school of the Society
of Friends, of which he was a member, and in 1829 went to Bos-
ton as editor of a newspaper, the American Manufacturer, and in
the following year became editor of the New England Weekly
Review published at Hartford, Conn., but in 1832 returned to
Haverhill to edit the Haverhill Gazette and work upon his farm.
He remained there till 1 836, being twice a representative m the
legislature of the state. In 183b he became one of the secretaries
of the American Anti-slavery Society, and soon after removed to
Philadelphia, where he edited for four years the Pennsylvania
Freeman, an anti-slavery paper. In 1840 he returned to Massa-
chusetts and settled at Amesbury, where he afterward resided, be-
ing for some years corresponding editor of the National Era pub-
lished at Washington. Mr. Whittier's works are among the best
known and most popular of all American authors. They include
publications in prose and verse, and have obtained an unpre-
cedented circulation, both in the United States and in all portions

of Europe. Besides these various fine illustrated editions of some
of his shorter poems have been published separately. In 1S69 and
again in 1876 was published a uniform edition of his poems up to
date, and ni 1875 he published a collection of poetry imder the
title of "Songs of Three Centuries." He died Sept. 7, 1S92.*

This historic old dwelling in which the famous bard of the
Merrimac Valley was born, was erected by his great-great-grand-
father Thomas Whittier, the first of his name in America, about 200
years ago. It is in the east parish of Haverhill, a lonely farm

♦John G. Whittier writes, 24 8 mo., 1873: "My mother was a descendant of Christopher

ster of that town. Daniel Webster traces his ancestry to the same pair, so Joshua Coffin in-
ormed me. Col. Wm. B. Greene, of Boston, is of the same family. John G. Whittier."

house in one of the most rugged and ■ hilly sections of Essex
county. Haverhill, now a city of about 30,000 inhabitiants, is
three miles away. Two centuries ago, as now, Essex county was
more thickly populated than any other on this side the Atlantic
that included no big city, yet the Whittier homestead, in the
northeast corner, is in so isolated a spot that from the date of its
erection to the present tmie no neighbor's roof has been in sight.
It is in a sunken pocket of the inland hills. In the early days, it
is said, Indians in their war paint occasionally passed up the val-
ley, and the evening fire light in the Whitcier kitchen would fre-
quently reveal a savage face at the window. But this Quaker
household was never harmed.

DES-CRIBED IN "SNOW-BOUND. "

The birthplace, its environs and the life of the family within
have been well described b)?^ the poet in "Snow-Bound." In
winter there was nothing to see in the prospect but a "universe of
sky and snow."

Shut in from all the world without,
We sat the cleau-wingerl hearth about,
Coi tent to let the north wind loar.
In baffled ra,i;e at pane and door,
While the red lo.es before us beat
The frost line back with tropic heat.

The house has been minutely described in the accounts of Whit-
tier's boyhood and youth. On one side of the great kitchen is a
cupboard, at which the tramp mentioned by the poet in his "Yan-
kee Gypsies," prospecting for brandy, filled his mouth with whale
oil, and spluttered inarticulate imprecations. There is a straight
and steep flight of back stairs leading up from the western porch.
It was down these stairs that in his tenderest infancy the poet,
wrapped in a blanket, was once rolled, as an experiment, by a
little girl who had him in charge.

STONE WALL HE HELPED TO BUILD.

When Whittier last visited the homestead, in 1882, he pointed
out a stone wall he helped to build, which is now standing between
the brook ami the gate. It is ihe garden wall referred to in "The
Barefoot Boy." Quaker meetings were sometimes held in the
large kitchen.

It was in 1840 that Whittier reluctantly disposed of the old
homestead, in which he had resided much of the time for nearly
thirty years, and removed to Amesbury, that lovely little hamlet
at the foot ot Powow Hill, m full sight of the much loved Merri-
mac. In latter years he made his home at Danvers.

Abigail Hussey, John Greenleaf Whittier's mother, was a de-
scendant of Christopher Hussey, a fellow townsman with Thomas
Whittier in Haverhill, who afterward removed to Hampton, N.
H., where he married the daughter of Rev. Stephen Bachilei.
"The tradition is that Mr. Bachiler was a man of remarkable per-
sonal presence, and was particularly noticeable on account of his
wonderful eyes ; they were dark and deep set, under broad arches,
and could throw lightning glances upon occasion. For more than
a century the Batcheler eye has been proverbial and in Essex
county. Massachusetts, the striking feature has been steadily main-
tained. Tne resemblance between Whittier and Daniel Webster were
long ago observed by those who were unaware of any relationship.
Though unlike in many respects, there appeared to be a marked
similarity in their broad and massive brows, swarthy complexions
and expressive eyes. The characteristic of the eyes were in the
looks of inscrutable depth, the power of shooting out sudden
gleams, and the power of tender and lovable expression as well.
It is now known that not only Whittier, Webster, but W. Pitt
Fessenden, Caleb Cashing, William B. Green and other promi-

82 BATCHELDER GENEALOGY.

nent men inherited their fine features, penetrating eyes and
gravity of manner from the same ancestor, Rev. Stephen Bachiler.
Tne majestic bearing and the presence of Webster were every-
where known. The keen glances of Gushing, the eminent
scholar and diplomat; the deep looks of Col. Green were well
remembered in Massachusetts. Green was educated at West
Point, but he resigned from the army and married a famous beauty
and heiress, daughter of Robert D. Shaw, of Boston, and was for
some years a Unitarian preacher. In the war of the Rebellion, he
commanded the 14th Massachusetts regiment of heavy artillery.
He was an able writer and an original thinker." [Life of John G.
Whittier.]

3. ii. NATHANIEL, b. 1590; m. Hester Mercer.

4. iii. DEBORAH, b. 1592; m. John Wing.

The first emigrants to America bearing the name of Wing, like
nearly all the New England colonists of that period, belonged to
that portion of the English nation which began near the close of
the sixteenth century, to be called Puritans, because they con-
tended that all civil and ecclesiastical affairs, as well as religious
doctrines, should be strictly conformed to Scriptural models, and
to the principles of modern liberty.

They should, however, be distinguished from that portion of
the same party that had settled at Plymouth, and which has usu-
ally borne the more specific appellation of "The Pilgrims," be-
cause they had for conscience sake forsaken their native land,
had sojourned for several years in the low countries, and had
finally found a home on the shore of Massachusetts bay, thirty-
seven miles south of the present city of Boston.

The two colonies of Plymouth and Massachusetts bay were for
many years distinct jurisdictions. The former commenced their
settlement (1620 — eight years before the latter — 1628), and for the
first ten years were, for some reason, unable to obtain a royal
charter, being organized under the authority of a commercial as-
sociation, which, however, seemed to have very little zeal for its
worldly prosperity. The emigrants also, though composed of
some of the most enliglitened and energetic men of the age, were
less anxious to increase their numbers or their wealth than to pro-
vide for their spiritual harmony and edification. They had also
been much impoverished by the necessities of a foreign pilgrim-
age, by repeatedly bafiled and expensive attempts to embark for
America by the severities of a long voyage on the ocean, and by
the hardships, famines, drouths and sickness of their first settle-
ment in the wilderness.

Only three sparsely settled towns, viz., Plymouth, Duxbury and
Scituate, were organized during the first sixteen years. The
colony of Massachusetts bay, on the other hand, though estab-
lished likewise with prominent aim to construct a congenial re-
ligious community, was influenced in a much higher degree by the
lower motives which ordinarily lead to new settlements. It was
from the beginning favored with a charter of singular liberality,
and had not only the direction and aid of an enterprising associa-
tion in England, but a very large amount of popular favor. In
the course of three or four years after the settlement at Naumkeag
(now Salem) more than 1,500 persons, in 17 ships, were added to
tne original 300, and several towns were organized under the
names of Boston (before called Shawm ut), Charlestown, Water-
town, Dorchester, Roxbury, Mystic and Saugus.

In each of these a church was established as soon as a sufficient
number of persons could be collected for the purpose on the same
model with the churches of Salem and Plymouth, and generally
with a full complement of pastor, elders and other officers.

John Winthrop, the first governor of the colony of Massachusetts
bay, kept a Journal, in which he gives an account of all public
transactions down to the year 1649, ^^^^ when enumerating the
vessels which conveyed immigrants, he makes the record under

BATCHELDER GENEALOGY. 83

the date of June 5, 1632: "Arrived, the William Francis, Mr.
Thomas, Master; which left London on the 9th of March, and
reached this port after a voyage of 88 days with about 60 passen-
gers, whereof were Mr. Weld and old Mr. Batchelder (being aged
71), with their families and many other honest men." In another
place the governor specifies that the company which came with
Mr. Batchelder consisted of a small body of six or seven persons,
who went to the same place and co-operated with him in his re-
ligious movements. The names of these persons are not given,
but from incidental notices we learn that among them were John
Wing and his wife Deborah, a daughter of Mrr Batchelder, with
three adult sons, and Edward Dillingham. There is no decisive
indication in this or in any other known record of the precise place
in England from which the company emigrated. From some
expressions in the will of Edward Dillingham, showing that he
was in intimate relations with several persons in Bitteswell,
Leicestershire, it seems probable that these were his former neigh-
bors, from whom the whole company could not have been distant.
Those who composed this company had evidently sympathized
with each other in some peculiar religious views, as well as been
united by various marriage and blood relations. The Rev. Ben-
jamin Fessenden, of Sandwich, intimates that they had been
"very much tainted with Antinoman and Familistical errors,"
but how much this signifies, when interpreted with a due regard
to the prejudices of the religious party then in the ascendant, it is
not easy to decide.

Nothing of the kind was ever objected against Mr. Batchelder
by the civil or ecclesiastical authorities, before whom he was more
than once, for other reasons, arraigned ; and as held by the more
recent advocates of these views, the sentiments and practices
alluded to could not have been very obnoxious to the Puritan
divines in Massachusetts. The town of Saugus had been organ-
ized only three years before their arrival, and no church had been
collected and no minister had been settled there. A few meetings
had been held from prayer and exhortation, and some of the in-
habitants had attended worship at Salem. The time of their
arrival was eleven years and seven months after the landing at
Plymouth Rock (Dec. 11, 1620, O. S). and three years and eight
months after the arrival of the first settlers at Salem.

John Wing was the original progenitor of nearly all who bear the
name in America, so far as they are known to us. Nothing is
known of him before his arrival at Boston and his residence at
Saugus (Lynn), except that he had married Deborah, the second
daughter of Stephen Batchelder, and was one of that minister's
company. Some have inferred that he had been with his father-
in-law during his sojourn in Holland, and that he had some near
connection with the Rev. John Wing, the pastor of an English
congregation in Flushing, in the Province of Zealand, in Holland.
He does not appear to have been, any more than his associates,
possessed of pecuniary means beyond what were requisite for his
voyage, and when a removal from Saugus became desirable, his
aim was to find a suitable home on the cheaper lands beyond the
limits of the older settlements. He was probably one of the
number who performed the journey with Mr. Batchelder for the
settlement of the Matlacheese, and though that enterprise failed,
he perhaps then became acquainted with the region afterwards
known as the Peninsula of Cape Cod. The land there was per-
haps no more inviting for agricultural purposes than that which
then generally engro.ised attention within the jurisdiction of the
Massachusetts Bay colony, but it had some advantages for fishing
purposes; it was not encumbered bj'' heavy forests; it was easy
of cultivation; it might be had by all acceptable occupants, and
the Indians in possession of it were remarkable for their uniform
friendship for the English. It was within the jurisdiction of the
Plymouth Colony, though beyond the limits of any organized

town. About ten years before (1627) a trading house had been
located at a place called Manomet, at the head of Buzzard's Bay,
with the view of maintaining commerce with the southern coast
and of avoiding the dangerous navigation around the Cape, but

for some reason the en-
terprise had been aban-
doned, or was confined
to the business of mere
transportation.

In the year 1637 Mr.
Edward Freeman and
nme others, who had
been residents at
Saugus, formed an as-
sociation "to erect a
plantation or town with-
in the precincts of his
Majesty's General Court
at Plymouth" and near
the neck of land be-
tween the opposite
shores of Barnstable
and Buzzard's Bays.
On the third day of
April, in the same year,
the general court at
Plymouth gave to these
persons the right to
form said plantation or
town, "and to receive in
more inhabitants to
them according to order
and duly to dispose of
said lands to such as
were or should be or-
derly admitted to them
in said township."
They were soon on the
ground, and with them
about fifty others who were called associates, chiefly from Saugus,
Duxbury and Plymouth. The names of Edward Freeman and
Edward Dillingham appear among the original "Ten men of
Saugus," and the name of John Wing occurs as the forty-fifth in
the list of their first associates.

Nearly all those mentioned took families with them, and by the
terms of the act granting them permission to settle none were
allowed to become housekeepers or to build any cottage or dwell-
ing to reside singly or alone, or if their characters were not accept-
able to the governor. Church membership, communion at the
Lord's table and a regular attendance upon and a proper support
of public worship at authorized places were indispensable re-
quisites to becoming a freeman.

The whole body of freemen in the town had the right to decide
by vote whether any one should be admitted a member of their
community, subject, however, to the revision of the governor and
his assistants. A sufficient quantity of land was granted to the
original association to provide liberally for three score families,
according to the number and abilitj. of each householder's family.
Under the direction of committees appointed by the court, the true
bounds of every inhabitant's land were laid out and ordered.

In 165 1, when the conditions on which the grant of the township
was made had been complied with, a deed of the plantation was
executed by the governor to Mr. Freeman, who then made con-
veyances to his associates. The town was incorporated as early

COAT OF ARMS OF WING.

as 1639, and the Indian name of Shawme was exchanged for that
of Sandwich.

In addition to these private "holdings" certain meadows or
marshy lands on the shore near the town were left for the grazing
of cattle, as town's commons, and controlled by the town as such.
In time these became the property of the representatives of the
original freeman.

Other woodlands were at first free for every one to obtain from
ihem timber and fuel for private use, but not for exportation. In
what part of the township John Wing had his residence it is now
pernaps impossible to determine. The old traditional home of
one branch of the family for subsequent generations was situated
about a mile from the present village of Sandwich, near a stream
of water between two beautiful ponds, and on a highland over-
looking the lower sheet of water and the town.

This seems as likely as any other spot to have been selected
as his residence. No more attractive location could be found in
the town. Very probably the limits of the lower pond have been
much increased in later years by a dam thrown across its outlet,
by which power has been gained for mills and other manufactur-
ing establishments, but even before this enlargement the scenery
from that point must have been more than commonly fine.

A number of farms, as situated upon the neck of land between
the two ponds (formerly known as "Wolf Trap Neck"), some of
which have been in the possession of John's descendants until the
present time. The exact spot, however, which has generally been
regarded as the original home, is an eminence near the point
where the stream from the upper pond falls into the lower and
since occupied as a factory for nails.

Near the present building is an artificial cavity about fifteen
feet square and several feet deep, which must once have been a
cellar, and is even now surrounded by a few very ancient fruit and
ornamental trees. The buildings which once were over and near
it are gone, with every other relic of them, and the mansion which
has been the residence of his descendants is situated about 200
rods westward.

The farm, which has usually been connected with this home-
stead, consists of two or three hundred acres of valuable land up
the stream and along the borders of the lower pond. Immedi-
ately before it, across the sheet of water, which lies in the form
of a semi-circle about a mile in length and within the arc of the
semi-circle, is an ancient cemetery, where the earlier inhabitants
were buried. On the outer and right margin of the lower end of
the pond lies the main village, consisting principally of one street,
along which are a grist mill, marble works, the town hall and
academy, several churches, a Masonic hall and two or three hotels.
This part of the town has remained without essential alteration
from the most ancient period of which we have any account.

In 1638, almost immediately on the settlement of the town, a
church was formed, and there can be no doubt that public worship
was maintained there from the very first.

A rude building for that purpose must have been at once erected,
for as early as in 644 the one which was used for worship was
called "the old meeting house." The ministers of that day in all
the towns were invariably men of respectable talents and learn-
ing, such as everywhere commanded confidence and respect.
There was something, however, in the disposition of the original
inhabitants of Sandwich which was unfavorable to the harmony
and growth of the original congregation.

The experience which some of them had had at Saugus was
perhaps ill adapted to make them cordial in its support. Even
if the strict laws in relation to communion and ministerial sub-
sistence and attendance upon public worship were observed, it is
evident that a considerable degree of laxness was from the very
first allowed. The freemen of the town were more than once

86 BATCHELDER GENEALOGY.

censured by the general court for allowing persons to settle and
reside among them whose views were looked upon as disorderly.

The stipends were poorly paid and often were reluctantly col-
lected. The minister complained that few attended upon his min-
istrations and serious dissensions prevailed among the people. In
one instance these are spoken of as caused by a party which had
once been under the influence of Stephen Batchelder. The town
authorities are said to have been unwilling, or, from the state of
public feeling, unable to enforce the laws relating to public wor-
ship, and what were called irregularities. Some of the most re-
spectable inhabitants, like Mr. Edward Freeman and Edward
Dillingham among the original associates, were complained of be-
fore the court and fined.

An early record of the church shows only eleven male mem-
bers, and neither in this nor in any subsequent notice of the busi-
ness of the church does the name of John Wing nor any of his
family for many years appear. They had probably all been com-
municants at Saugus, and they were doubtless decidedly religious
people, but inclined to greater freedom in worship and in ecclesi-
astical affairs. We shall see that this spirit soon took a direction
which led a large portion of the family to forsake the church and
the forms of worship established by the civil authority. Very
little can be learned from the meager records of the town, the
church or the general colony regarding the family history of John
Wing.

He appears to have been a plain man of ordinary intelligence,
never aspiring to political distinction, and only ambitious to culti-
vate his laud and decently to bring up his family. In a few in-
stances, however, his name occurs on the records of the general
court as one well qualified for public business. In 1641 he is
allowed six acres for his share of the meadow lands held at first in
common, but divided afterwards annually for the use of the inhabit-
ants in severalty. On another occasion he was concerned in the
construction of a road connecting Sandwich with the earlier settle-
ments. For some time the people had been obliged either to re-
duce their corn to meal by the slow and laborious Indian process
by means of a mortar and pestle, or transport it all the way to
Plymouth on their own shoulders or on the back of a horse or cow.
Tradition points out the old Indian path by which the people on
the Cape thus wearily conveyed their grist to and from Plymouth.

In 1652 the court appointed a jury of thirteen persons to lay out
the most convenient track for a road from Sandwich to Plymouth.
John Wing was the seventh on this list. The jury was empaneled
three days afterwards (Feb. 17) and commenced their work, but two
years from that time the road was not completed, and both Ply-
mouth and Sandwich were presented for not having the country
highway between these places cleared so as to be passable for man
and horse. Some apprehensions began early to be felt that the
Indians of the west were hostilely inclined toward the settlers,
and a law was enacted to prevent all Indians from having the use
of firearms. A number of persons were complained of (about
1642) for allowing Indians to use such weapons even in hunting.
Among these were the assistant governor, Freeman and John
Wing for lending guns to Indians. The date of John Wing's or
of his wife's death is not recorded.

The first part of the Book of Records of Sandwich either has
been lost or was originally so defective that very little can be
made of them. The clerk of each town m the colony was, by law,
required to keep a full register of all the births, marriages and
deaths which occurred m his town, and these records for a valu-
able repository to which antiquarians and genealogists can now
resort, but no public enactments could secure them against the
negligence or the unskilfulness of the officials, the remissness of
those who ought to have reported the tacts or the ravages of fire
in later times. Even the wills of many of the older settlers, from

BATCHELDER GENEALOGY. 87

which much information might have been gained, are not unfre-
quently unrecorded in the county records. A very good idea,
however, may be obtained of the common life and manners of the
people from the traditions and literature which have come down
to us. The solemn scriptural style of speaking, the long beards
and short hair, the singular fashion of dress for both men and
women, the kind of houses of which a few specimens still remain
on the Cape, the large fires "kindled by fat pine" in the immense
chimneys, the food consisting so much of fish and maize, the meet-
ings on the "Lord's Day," the town and church meetings, in
which equality and liberty found their utmost expression, the
quaint laws which, in solemn phrase, extended to the minutest
details of social and moral conduct, the prolix style of preaching
and the long public and private prayers, the public whippings
in the pillory, confinement in the stocks and exposures in the pub-
lic assemblies for private offenses and the scarlet letter markings
on the garments, or the brandings in the face for shameful crimes,
are all proofs of a state of society utterly passed away. The
family was among the most advanced in its opposition to such
excesses.

But a visitor on the Cape, even at the present day, will easily
discover better representatives of this singular race than can be
found perhaps in any other part of the world.

The streams of immigration which have swept by them on
each hand have left here remnants of an original stock, whose
influence has been deeply impressed upon the national character.
Poor as the soil and severe as the skies may have been in that
region, the men and women which it has sent forth have done
Tiuch to shape the destinies of this nation.

The number of children had by John and Deborah Wing re-
mains a matter of some uncertainty. We have no evidence that
he had any daughters, and very little to make us suspect that he
had more than three sons. A vague tradition relates that one son,
Matthew, came with the family to America, but returned and died
in England. All our reliable accounts, however, speak only of
Daniel, John and Stephen, who came with him in the same vessel,
and accompanied him until his settlement in Sandwich.

Daniel, the eldest son of John and Deborah Batchelder Wing
(i), of Sandwich, came with his father from England, and accom-
panied him until he was settled at Sandwich. They resided near
one another, and perhaps in the same house. In 1640, June 28,
Andrew Hallet, being about to remove to Yarmouth, conveyed
certain landed property to Daniel Wing, the instrument being
witnessed by John Wing and Edward Dillingham. This was un-
doubtedly a farm in the immediate neighborhood of the paternal
mansion. The house in which he resided was probably not far
from the spot supposed to be the residence of his father. With
his brothers he was enrolled in 1643 among those who were at that
time between the ages of 16 and 60, and therefore liable to bear
arms. Even at this early period some apprehensions of hostile
movements on the part of the Narragansetts on the west of the bay
which now bears their name, began to be entertained, and the
people were called upon for military drills and equipments. In
Sandwich, as well as in Plymouth and other places, twelve or
more persons were enjoined to bring their muskets with shot and
powder every Lord's Day to the meeting, with their sword and
furniture to every piece ready for service if need should require.
The taking of fish was an important matter in the commerce of
the town and the profits of the leases of the Herring river, and the
cutting up of whales and other large fish which had escaped, after
being wounded, from their pursuers and been stranded upon the
shores of the bay were no inconsiderable item in defraying the
expenses of the schools. Accordingly, in 1652, an agreement was
made with Daniel Wing and Michael Blackwell for the taking of
the fish in Herring river, and it was ordered that Edmund Free-

88 BATCHELDER GENEALOGY.

man, Daniel Wing and four others who are named, "shall take care
of all the fish that Indians shall cut up within the limits of the
town, so as to provide safely for it, and shall dispose of the fish
for the town's use; also, that if any man that is an inhabitant
shall find a whale and report it to any of these six men, he shall
have a double, and that these six men shall take care to provide
laborers and whatever is needful so that whatever whales either
Indian or white man gives notice of the}' may dispose of the pro-
ceeds to the town's use, to be divided equally to every inhabitant.
An earlier building of a mill for the accommodation of the in-
habitants having failed in 1654, four persons were engaged to
build one, "the town paying twenty pounds," and this sum was at
once voluntarily suscribed by Daniel Wing and twenty-one other
inhabitants. This and another mill were soon after erected, and
millers were appointed by the town "to grind and have the toll
for their pains." It was during the year 1655 that the names of
Daniel Wing and a number of the prominent citizens of Sandwich
are first mentioned in connection with a seriou^ religious dissen-
sion in the town. From the first settlement of the place, its inhabi-
tants were looked upon bj' the authorities at Plymouth as more
than commonly indifferent to the execution of the laws in favor of
uniformity in worship. Many persons had been subjected to fines
for speaking disrespectfully of the laws, and of the mode of con-
ducting public worship. So great became the falling off of attend-
ance upon the ministrations of Mr. Leverich, the first minister,
that (about 1654) he concluded to leave the place, a,nd for nearly
twenty years the people were destitute of a regular pastor. In
the meantime Mr. Richard Bourne and Mr. Thomas Tupper, per-
sons of a religious turn of mind, and possessed of some powers of
public speaking, but without a regular ordination, conducted the
services on the Lord's Day. Each of them had his party, and
each was the occupant of the pulpit according as he might have
the most adherents. The cmgregation had become much reduced
in numbers, and was not formally divided, though distracted by
facticms. One portion of them are said to have been tinged with
fanaticism and were much blamed for driving away the late pas-
tor. Another portion is said to have been disgusted with such a
state of things and to have mainly withdrawn from public wor-
ship. The^e last are said by Rev. Mr. Fessenden, the minister of
Sandwich. 1722-46, to have embraced Antinomian and Familistical
errors, under the ministry of Stephen Batchelder, the first minis-
ter of Lynn. And yet Daniel Wing's name appears with eighteen
others of the most respectable and conservative of the church
members, attached to a call given about 1655-6. to some person
engaged as a temporary supply. The call was entered upon the
regular minutes of that time, though it is now without super-
scription indicating to whom it was addressed or its precise date.
Such notices prepare us to appreciate the position of Daniel Wing
and others who acted with him in political and religious affairs.
As early as 1646, a general movement was made throughout the
Plymouth colony in behalf of toleration. A petition was exten-
sively signed and presented to the general court "to allow and
maintain full and free tolerance of religion to all men that would
preserve the civil peace and submit to government." It was sup-
ported by numbers of the deputies and by a large portion of the in-
habitants of Sandwich. It was, however, overruled by the arbi-
trary act of Governor Bradford. In 1654, it is recorded that the
people of both colonies began about this time to be indifferent to
the ministry, and to exercise their own gifts, doubting the utility
of public preaching. Up to this time Daniel acted with the
church of Sandwich, and his contributions were among the largest
in the support of the minister and in the repairs of the parson-
age. His name does not appear among the opponents of that
minister, and the probability is that he was one of those who were
offended at the proceedings which resulted in the long vacancy.

BATCHELDER GENEALOGY. 89

In 1657, "the people called Quakers" made their first appearance
in Sandwich. In Bowden's "History of the Society of Friends in
America," it is mentioned that two English Friends, named Chris-
topher Holden and John Copeland, came to Sandwich on the 20th
of 6th month, 1657, and had a number of meetings, and that
their arrival was hailed with feelings of satisfaction by many who
had long been burdened with a lifeless ministry and dead forms in
religion. But the town had its advocates of religious intolerance
and no small commotion ensued." The governor issued a war-
rant for their arrest, but when a copy of the warrant was asked
for by Wm. Newland, at whose house the meetings had been
held, it was refused, and its execution was resisted. A severe
rebuke and a fine was then inflicted upon them. The two prison-
ers were sentenced to be whipped, but the selectmen of the town
declined to act in the case, and the marshal was obliged to take
them to Barnstable to find a magistrate willing to complj? with
the order.

Tradition reports that many meetings were held at a secluded
spot in the woods, which from the preacher's Christian name, was
afterward known as "Christopher's Hollow." Numerous com-
plaints were made against divers persons in Sandwich for meet-
ings at private houses and inveighing against magistrates, and
several men and women were publicly whipped for disturbing
public worship, for abusing the ministers, for encouraging others
in holding meetings, for entertaining the preachers and for un-
worthy speeches. Daniel Wing, with three others, was arrested
for tumultuous carriage at a meeting of Quakers and severely
fined, though there is no evidence that a single Quaker, besides
the preachers, was present, and it is certain that neither of these
persons professed at that time any adherence to the new sect.
Daniel and Stephen Wing refused to take the oath of fidelity,
not on the ground that they declined all oaths, but because this
particular oath pledged them to assist in the execution of an in-
tolerant enactment. Indeed, so generally were the laws against
free worship condemned in Sandwich, that the constable was "un-
able to discharge his duty by reason of many disturbent persons
there residing," and it was enacted that a marshal be chosen for
such service in Sandwich, Barnstable and Yarmouth. In 1658 a
list was made out by the governor and other magistrates of cer-
tain persons who refused to take the oath of fidelity, and for
that reason had no legal right to act as inhabitants. They were,
therefore, each fined five pounds to the colony's use, and it was
ordered that each and every one of them should henceforth have
no power to act in any town meeting till better evidence appeared
of their legal admittance, nor to claim title or interest in any
town privileges as townsmen, and that no man should henceforth
be admitted an inhabitant of Sandwich, or enjoy the privileges
thereof, without the approbation of the church and of Mr. Thomas
Prince (the governor), or of the assistants whom they shall
choose. Many were summoned to Plymouth to account for non-
attendance upon public worship and distraints were exacted from
these recusants in Sandwich to satisfy for fines to the amount of
six hundred and sixty pounds. Of these fines Daniel Wing paid
not less than twelve pounds.

Up to this time Daniel Wing, with others who acted with him,
appear simply as friends of toleration and resisters of an oppres-
si^'e law. But it was not long before he and most of these sym-
pathizers became active converts to the persecuted sect. In 1658
no less than eighteen families in Sandwich recorded their names
in one of the documents of the society. Writers of that period
(165B-60) say, "We have two strong places in this land, the one at
Newport and the other at Sandwich ; almost the whole town of
Sandwich is adhering towards them," and the records of Monthly
Meetings of Friends show that the Sandwich Monthly Meeting
was the first established in America." Its records extend as far

90 BATCHELDER GENEALOGY.

back as 1672, which is earlier than any other known in this coun-
try. It was not until the accession of King Charles the Second
(about 1660) that these proceedings against the Quakers were dis-
continued by the royal order, and the most obnoxious laws were
repealed in the colony of Plymouth, when we are told that "the
Quakers became the most peaceful, industrious and moral of all
the religious sects." In the fervor of religious zeal, and while
smarting under severe injuries, they doubtless, at this early
period, provoked the authorities by indiscretions which none of
their successors in the faith would attempt to justify, and yet
every descendant of the Puritans must regret that those who had
themselves suffered so much for their conscientious convictions
should have inflicted such severities upon dissenters from their
own views.

In 1658 the true bounds of every inhabitant's lands were laid
out and ordered by the general court, so that the lands might be
brought to record. There were fifty-five such owners whose
names are recorded, among whom Daniel and Stephen Wing are
mentioned. According to some records Daniel died in the year
1664, but Freeman and Savage make his death five years earlier
(1659). His will was dated May 3, 1659, but as one of his children
was born in 1660, and another later in the year 1664, we agree with
the Plymouth records in placing his death near the latter date.
He married gth month, 5, 1641, Hannah, a daughter of John
Swift. The Swifts were numerous in the western part of the
town, especially at Scusset (West Sandwich), where an inn was
for many years kept by one of the name of such notoriety as to
give the place itself a considerable reputation. Hannah died
Dec. I, 1664, soon after the birth of her youngest child. Her
father's will, dated the twelfth day of the eighth month, 1662, be-
queathed certain amounts to Samuel and John, the sons of his
daughter Hannah ; and the inventory of his property was made

The descendants of Daniel and Stephen Wing have nearly all
been connected with the society calling themselves Friends. The
place in Sandwich where they have from the first worshiped, is
near Spring Hill, about three miles eastward from the central vil-

BATCHELDER GENEALOGY. 91

lage. There, in the midst of a thickly settled neighborhood of the
same faith, now rises the neat and commodious house of worship,
which has succeeded one or two less costly structures before it.
It has no spire, but being on an eminence can be seen from afar.
It is divided into two parts, for the men and women respectively,
and a partition is so contrived that it can be let down between
them on such occasions as require separate meetings. The seats,
which are occupied by the ministers, are three in number, gradu-
ally ascending one above the other, extending on each side of this
partition, and divided by it, so as to accommodate the male and
female preachers. On the days when the writer was present
(1S74), the house was well filled with intelligent worshipers, and
the preachers' seats were occupied by about a dozen men and
women of a venerable and devout aspect, inhabitants of Sand-
wich, and during the week engaged in ordinary employments.

Here, for six generations, this people have worshiped God
according to their simple forms, little affected by the changes of
the outer world, and sincerely witnessing for their original prin-
ciples. Even during our first Revolutionary and the late Civil
Wars, though they showed in many ways on which side their
warm sympathies were, they could not be induced to act incon-
sistently with their peculiar tenets. In 1692 the liberty of con-
science which had been secured to them only by royal order was
guaranteed by the new charter, and they were no longer called
upon to support other establishments. Near the house of worship
are two cemeteries, the oldest of which is now filled with graves,
which, however, are invisible above the smooth green turf, in
accordance with the principle formerly entertained that monu-
ments and inscriptions were too generally expressions of an osten-
tatious and flattering spirit. In the more recently constructed
graveyard low tombstones are allowed, on which may be inscribed
only the names of the deceased with the dates of their birth and
death. We seek in vain, therefore, to identify the precise spot in
which the dust of any one of the family in its earlier generations
now reposes. We only know that within that ancient enclosure
are probably buried more of the name than can be found in any
other in America.

John, the second son of John and Deborah Batchelder Wing, of
Sandv/-ich, was born in England, and came to America with his
father in 1632. His age at that time is not known, and we have
no means of learning it from any subsequent dates. He went
with his father and brothers from Saugus to Sandwich on the first
settlement of the latter town, but must have left home at an early
period to form a new settlement on the Cape eastward. The town
of Yarmouth was incorporated in 1639, but in the last month of
the same year Barnstable was set off between it and Sandwich.
It extends from Barnstable Bay on the north to the sound on the
south.

A part of its northern shore was originally called Mattacheese
from an Indian tribe residing there, on whose lands his maternal
grandfather. Rev. Stephen Batchelder, had, with a few friends,
made a fruitless attempt to form a settlement. The precise date
of his removal cannot be determined, as the early records of the
town of Yarmouth were, in 1674, destroyed by fire and the first
twenty pages of the Harwich records are entirely lost. From in-
cidental notices in the records of the Court of Plymouth and at
Barnstable we gather a few items. The first reference of any in-
terest to our history is under date of March i, 1659, ^s follows:
The court, taking notice that John Wing is erecting a building in
a place that is out of bounds of the township, and conceiving that
such practices, if permitted, may prove prejudicial to the whole,
do order that the said John Wing, and others that have done or
shall do so, be prohibited to persist therein until it be further
cleared to what township such lands belong on which they build.
This order refers to a requirement of that period that no persons

92 BATCHELDER GENEALOGY.

should settle upon lands which were not included within the
chartered limits of towns, and under the permission of the court
and body of freemen incorporated by the government. There
was some doubt whether Sautucket, the place at which John Wing
had commenced buildmg, was within the limits which had been
given to Yarmouth township, and until that question had been
decided it was deemed proper to prohibit its settlement. As, how-
ever, it was reputed to be, and was soon afterwards proved to be
within the chartered limits of the township, John Wing had
already begun to build and soon established himself there. In-
deed, there are some indications that for an indefinite time before
this he had purchased and lived upon a piece, of land in the
vicinity. It was in the northern part of the town, in the neighbor-
hood of the sea coast. The Indians were then and for some time
afterwards numerous in that region, but they were peaceable and
never engaged in any hostile proceedings against the English.
The precise spot on which John Wing settled is supposed to have
been a high piece of land surrounded by swamp or meadow land,
subsequently called "Wing's Island," about a mile northeast of
the present town of Brewster. It was doubtless selected on
account of its fertility and adaptation to the grazing of cattle.
Freeman calls him and Lieut. John Dillingham (also from Sand-
wich) "large land owners." The line on the east of Brewster,
for a long time called "Wing's Line," was the base of future sur-
veys, and indicates a tract of land extending across the peninsula
from the northern to the southern coast. A large pond also in
Brewster bears the name of Wing to the present time. In 1677, ^^
a town meeting, May 30, the townsmen of Yarmouth did forewarn
John Wing and our neighbors of Sautucket from purchasing any
lands in the bounds of our township of any Indian, or to take any
possession thereof from them as being contrary to court order.
The order here referred to was one which prohibited anj'^ private
purchases from the aboriginal possessors of the soil ; in the first
place because no private Indian was really the owner of tribal
lands in severalty, and in the second place because advantage was
often taken of Indians by selfish and dishonest persons. It ap-
pears, however, that some transaction of this kind were allowed,
especially with certain chiefs or sachems who were actual owners
of individual property. The very transaction here alluded to was
subsequently allowed, and became the legal title to a large body
of land. In the Book of Evidences of lands for the jurisdiction of
New Plymouth, there is recorded a deed of land, of which the fol-
lowing is the purport, viz. : On the first of March, 1676-7, John
Wing and John Dillingham, in behalf of themselves and others
associated with them (viz., Thomas Clarke, Kenelm Winslow,
Paul Sears and Ananias and Joseph Wing) purchased of Robin
(Indian), of Mattacheese, of Samson, of Nobscusset, and Panasa-
must, his wife, and of Ralph, of Nobscusset, and Menetatomust.
his wife, other daughters of Nepatian; all that tract of land, both
upland and meadow, which they had in common or partnership
lying m Saquetucket in the liberties of Yarmouth between the
place commonly called Bound Brook on the west, and the middle
of Saquetucket river on the east. In this purchase John Wmg
was to have a third part of four shares. The division was made,
and the land was deeded to each April 16, 1677-8. The original
deed is said to be in the possession of Amos Otis, Esq., but a copy
of it in full has been taken by the writer. - The land lies within the
limits of the present township of Brewster, and is said to be among
the most valuable in that vicinity.

On the 15th of March, 1680, it appears from the town records
that an agreement was made with our neighbors, the purchasers
or proprietors of the land between Stony Brook and Bound Brook,
subsequently signed Ananias Wing, Paul Sears, Kenelm Winslow
and John Dillingham, Jun., on the one part, and by John Thacher
and others on behalf of the town. This was probably the final

settlement of the question between the town and the association
in the above mentioned purchase. The years 1675-6 were memor-
able for the war with the Indians, commonly called Philip's war.
In consequence of the friendly attitude which had always been
maintained by the tribes on the Cape, the inhabitants there were
not molested at their homes, but they were subjected to severe losses,
both of men and money for the supply of troops. John Wingassessed,
in 1776, towards the charge in the late war, five pounds sixteen shil-
lings and three pence. No traces are now perceptible of the resi-
dence in which John Wing lived for more than forty years. His
first wife's name was Elizabeth, and Savage thinks that he found
her in Saugus (Lynn). She was the mother of all his children.
She was probably the person meant in the record of Yarmouth,
which says: "Jan. 31, 1692 — The last of January Old Goody Wing
died." In 1723, the pew No. 9 in the new meeting house, was
assigned to John Wing, Sen., for which he paid five pounds ten
shillings, this being the ninth, according to the dignity and valua-
tion of the pews. For his second Avife he married Miriam, the
daughter of Stephen Dean, of Pi^-mouth, one of the old comers.
John Wing died in 1699. His will dated May 2, 1696, and was
witnessed by John Thatcher, John Dillingham and William
Griffith. A codicil is dated Feb. 6, 1698-9. This will, which is
very lengthy, was presented to probate Aug. 10, 1699, and it is
now on record at Barnstable. It makes mention of his wife
Miriam, his three children, Ananias, Susannah ^ Parslow and
Oseah Turner, his grandsons, John and Elnathan, and the
children of his deceased son, Joseph. He probably never bore
office in his town, although he appears to have been public spirited
and much respected. He was devoted rather to agriculture and
the acquisition of land for himself and his children. His wife sur-
vived him for two years or three years. She made a will, which
was dated May 24, 1701, and was probated in January, 1702-3. It
gives the principal part of her property, inherited from her
wealthy parents, to Dean Smith, of Chatham, whose mother was
her sister, Bethia Smith, of Monomoith. The inventory of her
personal property was taken in January, 1702-3, and its value was
assessed at seventy-eight pounds, twelve shillings and two pence.

Stephen, the youngest son of John and Deborah Batchelder
Wing, resided in Sandwich. It is contended by some that he con-
tinued to live with his father even after his marriage. Tradition,
however, with considerable confidence and probability, fixes his
precise location on a farm not far from Spring Hill, now in the
possession of a descendant. A part of the house which he built in
1644 is said to be still in existence. From his business as a town
official we concluded that for a while at least he must have lived
at the central village of Sandwich. In 1646-7 he was married to
Oseah, the daughter of Edward Dillingham, one of the nine asso-
ciates to whom the town had been granted April 3, 1637. In ac-
cordance with the rigid laws of that period, and which were en-
forced against all, however high their position in society, some
objections were made against him and a fine was laid upon him
b}'- the court at Plymouth, March 2, 1646-7, for the too early birth
of his first child after marriage. He appears, however, to have
been an earnest advocate of religion and of morality, for he was a
strenuous supporter of religious meetings and of public order, yet
he, with many others of that period, came in conflict with the ex-
clusiveness and intolerance to which both church and state were
then committed. From the first the whole family of his father

94 BATCHELDER GENEALOGY.

and his mother's father were inclined to a greater freedom in wor-
ship and life than the customs and laws of the colonies permitted.
In this they had the sympathies of what seems to have been for
many years a majority of the inhabitants of Sandwich. The re-
ligious difficulties of the town by no means originated, as has
been supposed, with the advent of the Quakers. Land complaints
were made respecting those who resisted the severe and arbitrary
laws of the colony long before any meetings forbidden by law were
set up, or the name of Quaker was known. And yet the pre-
valence of such a spirit and sentiment prepared the people of
Sandwich to decline enforcing and even to resist the cruel laws
against the Quakers when these people made their appearance.
In 1657, when Nicholas Upsall visited Sandwich, there was a great
commotion. Public proclamation was made that for every hour's
entertainment of him " a severe fine was to be exacted." In spite
of such a law, several families at that time not at all inclined to
Quakerism, not only received him to their houses, but allowed
him and others to hold meetings and attended upon them. Ste-
phen, when his brother Daniel began first with contending for
tolerance, and soon their sj'mpathy with suffering was exchanged
for conversion to the faith of the sufferers. Severe fines were
imposed upon him, imprisonment was threatened if not absolutely
inflicted on him, and even the town privileges of a freeman were
withdrawn from him and his friends because he declined for a
time to take the oath of fidelity which bound him to assist in tne
execution of such laws.

He had been admitted a freeman and enrolled among those
liable to bear arms in 1643, and had been assigned his proper
proportion and boundary of land m 1658. So large, however, was
the number of converts to the Friends, and so general the dispo-
sition to tolerate them among the people of Sandwich, that the
laws against them could not be enforced, and if any punishments
were inflicted it had to be done out of town.

Stephen and his family became permanently connected with the
society of Friends, and his posterity have in all their generations
remained true to his example. In 1667 he, with William (rriffith,
presented to probate the will of his father-in-law, Edward Dill-
ingham, and in 1669 he was chosen town clerk. In 1675 the town
voted to record his name with many others as having a just right
to the privileges of the town. In 1678 he seems to have overcome
his scruples about taking the oath of fidelity, for his name that
year appears among those on the list of its receivers. On the gth
day of the 4th month, 1653-4, his wife, Oseah, died; and on the
7th of the II month of the same year he married Sarah, the daugh-
ter of John Briggs, who came to America in 1635, aged 20. She
died 3d month 26, 1689; but the period of his own death is uncer-
tain.* One account gives it as 2d month 24, 1710 (old style). The
will of one named Stephen Wing is given in the records, dated
Dec. 2, 1700, and proved July 13, 1710; and it mentions sons
Nathaniel, Elisha and John, and daughters Sarah Gifford and
Abigail Wing, and a grandson, Jeremiah Gifford. Ebenezer Wing
and Matthew Wing, sons of the deceased, were appointed by the
judge to be executors of the will. From this date we infer that
Stephen continued to live through the first decade of the last cen-
tury, although he must then have been not less than eighty-eight
years of age. His children: i. Nathaniel, b. about 1646-7; res.

REV. STEPHEN BACHILER.

(By V. C. Sanborn.)

Concerning the life of Stephen Bachiler less is known than of most of the
founders of New England ; yet few of the early Puritans were more widely known
in their day, and none had a more checkered career. Bachiler, as is said of a de-
scendant of his, "had a real genius for opposing the majority," and in consequence

his character has been much maligned.
The truth is he was a reformer, with
the strength and weakness of his kind.
He was among the first to refuse con-
formity to the English church, and
"suffered much at the hands of the
Bishops." He came to America in his
old age, hoping to find here that lib-
erty which was denied at home; he
rebelled at the union of church and
state, which the strong Puritan cove-
nant enforced, and in- consequence
found himself opposed to the party in
power, the Massachusetts authorities.
After twenty years of conflict, in his
old age he returned to England, prefer-
ring to pass his last days among the
Puritans there, rather than in New
England. His life measures the Puri-
tan epoch ; he was among the first
clergymen to be ejected, and he died
with the English Republic.

Stephen Bachiler was born in 1560.
Hi's parentage and birthplace are as
yet unknown — Southern England was
at that time full of Bachilers ; Hamp-
shire, Surrey, Sussex and Kent had
distinct lines, while the Channel Isl-
V. c. SANBORN. aiids were the home of a Bachiler

family of French extraction. Probably
this French family, migrating to Southampton and forming an important part of
the French Protestant church there, was the ancestral line of Stephen Bachiler.
Certain it is that his lifelong connection was with Hampshire, and he was allied to
the Le Mercier and Priaulx families of Jersey and Southampton.

The first record of Stephen Bachiler is in 1581, when, at 20, he was matriculated
at the then newly established college of St. John, Oxford, on Nov. 17, 1581. Here
he took his B. A. in 1586. St. John's was founded in 1555 by Sir Thomas White,
and is now one of the most interesting colleges in Oxford, possessing the most
beautiful gardens there. The scholars of St. John's were of various opinions; the
list includes Archbishops Laud and Juxon, and the celebrated nonconformist,
Calamy.

From Oxford Bachiler entered the church, and on July 15, 1587, was instituted
as Vicar of Wherwell, Hants, being presented to that living by William, Lord de la
Warr, the ancestor of the nobleman from whom Delaware derives its name. Wher-
well ("Horrell") is a beautiful village on the Test, and was in its most perfect
beauty when I saw it in June, 1895. The church lies a short distance from Wher-
well Priory, the home of Mr. Iremonger, and a most ideal English county seat.
The present church, though located on the original site, is not the building of
Bachiler's time, and the registers before 1624 are missing, so that I found nothing
there concerning him. The Bishop's Transcripts at Winchester are not accessible.
In 1605, Bachiler was "depryved" of his living — the cause is not stated, but it was

96 BATCHELDER GENEALOGY,

presumably by the order of the commission appointed by James I, of which com-
mission Lord de la Warr, a son of the nobleman who presented Bachiler to Wher-
well, was a member. Augtist 9, 1605, John Bate was appointed Vicar at Wherwell,
a vacancy existing because of "the ejection of Stephen Bachiler."

From 1605 the record of Bachiler's English life is very fragmentary. In 1610
his son Stephen was matriculated at Magdalen College, Oxford, "the son of a
clergyman of Hampshire." In 1621 Adam Winthrop's diary relates that he had
"Mr. Bachiler, the preacher," to dine with him. Tradition says that Bachiler fled
to Holland; Winthrop's History states that he "suffered much at the hands of the
Bishops;" but no record of his life in Holland is extant. Perhaps this suffering
and flight were between 1605 and 1622, for in the latter year we find him established
in Newton Stacy, a retired hamlet, a mile and a half east of Wherwell. Here
Bachiler bought land in 1622 and 1629, and accumulated quite a property; he still
preached the Puritan doctrines, for we find Sir Robert Payne in 1632. being then
sheriff of Hants, complaining that his tenants, "having been formerly misled by one
Stephen Bachiler, a notorious inconformist, did demolish a consecrated chapel in
Newton Stacy."

In 1630 "The Plough Company of Husbandmen" was formed, and obtained a
patent to land near the mouth of the Sagadahoc river, in Maine. They chose
Bachiler as their pastor, and he also adventured a considerable sum in the enter-
prise, selling his Hampshire property to enable him to do this. Through fraud or
some underhand dealing the Plough Company failed, in 1631-2, after Bachiler had
made preparations to come to New England and settle in Cambridge (Newton).
Before sailing for America, Bachiler and his wife, accompanied by his widowed
daughter, Ann Samborne, then "living in ye Strand," obtained permission to go
to Holland for two months, "to visit his sons and daughters there." One of these
sons was probably that Samuel Bachiler, chaplain to Sir Charles Morgan's regi-
ment in Holland, who^ in 1625, published his ".Miles Christianus, " probably the
treatise which Bachiler sent as a gift to Margaret Winthrop in 1640. At this
period, too, is that grant of arms to Stephen Bachiler, described bj^ Sylvanus Mor-
gan in his "Sphere of Gentry" — Vert, a plow in fess; in base the sun rising, or.
This coat Morgan states was granted to "Stephen Bachiler, the first pastor of the
church of Lygonia in New England, the plough to signify his ploughing up the
fallow ground of their hearts, and the sun in allusion to his motto: 'Sol Justitise
Exoritur.' "

Bachiler married twice in England; all of his children of whom we have rec-
ord were by his first wife.

Bachiler's second wife, Helen, accompanied him to New England, dying in 1642.

On March 9, 1632, Bachiler sailed for New England in the "William and
Francis," landing at Boston, June 5, 1632. Winthrop, in relating the fact, states
that on the ship were "Mr. Bachiler and Mr. Welde, with their families, and many
other honest men." Just what family Bachiler brought with him is not known—
presumably his second wife and his four grandsons, Nathaniel Bachiler and John,
William and Stephen Samborne. Apparently none of Bachiler's own children
came. The failure of the "Plough Company" compelled him to give up his plan of
settling in Cambridge, and he accepted a call from the church at Sagus (Lynn),
where his son-m-law, Christopher Hussey, then resided. On June 8, 1632, Bachiler
commenced his ministrations, baptizing four children; it is said that when Thomas
Newhall, the first white child born in Lynn, was presented for baptism Bachiler
put him aside, saying, "I will baptize mine own child first," meaning Stephen
Hussey, his grandson and namesake.

Shortly after his arrival, Bachiler came into conflict with the authorities, for on
Oct. 3, 1632, the general court ordered "that Mr. Batchelr forbear exercising his
guifts as a pastor or teacher publiquely in or pattent, unless it be to those he
brought with him, for contempt of authority, and until some scandles be removed."
By"scandles" is merely meant some report of his utterances against the authorities.
After five months this order was recalled. He was at the conference of ministers
Sept. 17, 1633, and again Dec. 19, 1634. Early in 1635 a general convention of elders
was held in Lynn to discuss the quarrel between Bachiler and an opposing faction
in his church, who held that he had no true communion. The council agreed that
though not at first installed in due order, yet Bachiler had a true church there — after
a time peace was restored. On May 5, 1635, he became a freeman. In January,
1636, he was summoned before the magistrates, because, "coming out of England
with 6 or 7 persons, and having since received in many more at Sagus; and con-
tention coming between him and the greatest part of his church, he desired dis-

BATCHELDER GENEALOGY. 97

mission for himself and his first members, which being granted, he, with the said
six or seven persons, presently renewed their old covenant, intending to raise an-
other church in Sagus ; whereat the most and cheefe of the town being offended,
for that it would cross their intention of summoning Mr. Peter or some other minis-
ter, they complained to the magistrates, who forbade him to proceed in any church
way until the cause were considered by the other ministers. But he refused to
desist. Upon his appearance and submission, and prornise to remove out of the
town within 3 months, he was discharged."

In Februarj-, 1636, Bachiler moved to Ipswich, the home of John Winthrop,
where he received 50 acres of land, but, apparently discouraged by his troubles at
Sagus, gave up the active work of the ministry. This latter fact was mentioned in
a letter of the period from a Puritan minister in England, as a result of the rigid
and bigoted spirit in New England, which deterred many from coming to this
country.

Early in 1638, in the winter time, Bachiler tried to form a settlement near
Yarmouth on Cape Cod, where his Wing grandchildren lived; and walked there
from Ipswich. But, says Winthrop, "He and his company being poor men, gave it
over, and others undertook it." In the spring of 1638 he removed to Newbury,
where his son-in-law, Hussey, and his connection, Mr. Richard Dummer, were
living. The latter had come into conflict with the "powers that be," having been
one of those disarmed a year before because of his adherence to the forbidden opin-
ions of Anne Hutchinson.

Few men. at 79 years of age, would undertake to start a new settlement in the
wilderness, especially after 33 years of conflict, but such was the determined
nature of Stephen Bachiler. No better spot could have been chosen than the site of
Hampton, N. H., comprising, as it did, both fertile farm lands and wide stretches
of salt and fresh meadows. Bachiler had visited it before September, 1638, and in
that month had petitioned the General Court for leave to begin a plantation there.
On October 9, 1638, writing to Governor Winthrop, and asking him and Mr. Brad-
street to accompany the little band of settlers, he says, "We were there and
viewed it cursorily and we found a reasonable meet place, which we shall shew
you." Bachiler's fellow petitioners and settlers were mostly from the counties of
Hampshire and Wiltshire, among them one or two of his old parishioners in Eng-
land, but there were also some from Norfolk and Suffolk.

June 7, 1639, Winnicunnet was made a town, and in the fall the name was
changed to Hampton, at the request of Bachiler, and in honor of the city of Southamp-
ton, then commonly called Hampton, with which the Bachiler family was associated.
Stephen Bachiler was thus the founder and father of Hampton, the third settlement
in New Hampshire, and for years the principal town in that colony.* He received a
grant of 300 acres from the town, gave a bell for their church, and bound up his
fortunes with the new settlement. In 1639, Ipswich promised him a large grant if
he would settle with them, but he refused. About this time, Hampton received a
considerable influx of new settlers, many of them from Norfolk and Suffolk — and a
Suffolk clergyman, Timothy Dalton, was associated with Bachiler in the ministry, as
teacher and curate. From this time dated a long period of strife in the Hampton
church. Dalton was 30 years younger than Bachiler, educated, a sizar at St.
John's, Cambridge, and had brought with him many of his old parishioners. He
was politic, active, and an earnest adherent of the plans of Massachusetts.

But little definite record is left us of the conflict between pastor and teacher;
the town records are mute, and the church records are missing. Winthrop's History
contains little of value concerning it, and is mainly responsible for preserving the
slander which it is now thought Dalton and his party manufactured out of the whole
cloth. Judge Batrhelder, in refuting this falsehood, calls attention to the fact that
no definite charge was ever brought, and that no investigation was made, although
Bachiler earnestly and publicly entreated it. In Bachiler's letter to Winthrop he
charges Dalton with "having don all and ben the cause of all the dishonor that hath
accrewed to God, shame to myself, and greefe to all God's people by his irregular
proceeding and abuse of the power of the church in his hand, the main part cleav-
ing to him being his countrymen and acquamtaince in old England. The Teachers

*Thomas I. Bachelder, of Little Boars Head, N. H., writes to the author of this work as
follows: "As to the old furniture, I have a bureau of solid white oak; a chair white oak also.
It is framed togather and pined with wooden pins, and there is not a nail in it. Then I have a
small trunk, about two feet by four inches wide, with the date on the top, '1694,' put on with
brass-headded nails. As to the contribution box, it is of oak and is twelve inches long and four
in wide, and was carved very handsome. Also the chair is carved also. There is also A Town
book at Hampton, where Stephen Bachiler did town business."

98 BATCHELDER GENEALOGY.

excommunicating of me would prove the foulest matter, both for the cause alleged
and the impulsive cause (even wrath and revenge)." Winthrop's account censures
Dalton, "who indeed had not carried himself in this cause so well as became him and
acknowledged it." In 1643, the magistrates, to whom the case was referred,
removed the excommunication, but did not restore Bachiler to his pastoral office.
To show the general belief in Bachiler's innocence, while the evil report was still
rife, two neighboring towns, Casco on the north and Exeter on the west, called him
to be their minister; he at once set their calls before the magistrates, saying that he
wished to accept neither until he had a full hearing in his case against Dalton. The
magistrates, in reply, merely advised him to leave Hampton, and he accepted the
call to Exeter ; but, as this was within the jurisdiction claimed by the Massachu-
setts authorities, they were unwilling to have so troublesome an opponent within their
bounds, and, in 1644, the court ordered the Exeter people, on account of their
divisions and contentions, to defer gathering a church. Winthrop adds that "Mr.
Bachiler had been in three places before, and through his means, as was supposed,
the churches fell into such divisions that no peace could be till he was removed."
Bachiler, who had declined the call to Casco and prepared to settle in Exeter, re-
mained in Hampton, the troubles growing more bitter, Hampton had paid him no
salary, and he petitioned the General Court for some allowance, but they refused
to step in, leaving him to sue through the District Court. July 15, 1644, Winthrop
says, "The contentions in Hampton were grown to a great height, the whole town
was divided into two factions, one with Mr. Bachiler, their late pastor, and the
other with Mr. Dalton, their teacher, both men very passionate and wanting
discretion and moderation."

Just before this time, Bachiler's troubles increased; his wife died, and his
house and library, "to the valleu of ^200," were burned. Disheartened, he sold
his land in Hampton and moved to Portsmouth, where he became a private resi-
dent, though still preaching occasionally. He hired a "good neighbour" as his
housekeeper, and, in 1648, at 8S years of age, he married her. The match proved
most disastrous; in 1650 she was convicted of adultery with one Rogers, and sen-
tenced to be publicly whipped and branded with the letter "A." Bachiler sued for
divorce, but was met with the atrocious order that he ' 'and his wife shall live together
as man and wife, as in this Corte they have professed to do; and if either desert
the other the marshall shall apprehend both and bring them to Boston, to be kept
until the next Corte." The only explanation for this order is the determination to
make impossible Bachiler's remaining in the Massachusetts Colony; the attempt
was successful. About 1654, accompanied by his grandchild and godson, vStephen
Samborne, Bachiler left the New World, from which he had hoped so much, to end
his days quietly in England, where Cromwell and the Puritans held sway. His
last act was to convey his American estate to his son-in-law, Hussey. "April 8,
1673. Edward Colcord, of Hampton, aged 56, andWm. Fifield, of Hampton, testify
that when Mr. Stephen Bacheller, of Hampton, was upon his voyage to England,
they did hear Mr. Bacheller say unto his son-in-law, Mr. Chr. Hussey that in consn
the said Hussey had little or nothing from him with his daughter which was t'nen
married to the said Hussey, also in consn that this said son Hussey & his wife had
been helpful unto him both formerly & in fitting him for his voyage, & for other
considerations, he did give to the said Hussey all his estate consisting in cattell,
household goods & debts, for which his aforesaid give he also gave a deed in writ-
ing & delivered a copy thereof to the said Hussey."

In 1654, Bachiler's children and grandchildren were well established in Eng-
land, and tradition says he spent his last days in peace and comfort near London.
His worthless wife, in 1656, spread a baseless report that he "took to himself
another wife," but as this is the only source from which the story comes, we may
well believe it false.

The last record of this long and stormy career is contained in the following:
"The ancient Stephen Bachiler of Hampton died at Hackney, a village and parish
in Middlesex 2 miles from London, in 1660 in the looth year of his age."

Perhaps the best proof of the striking character of Stephen Bachiler is the
belief of many of his descendants that their abilities are derived from him. Daniel
Webster so believed, and also William Batchelder Greene.

BATCHELDER GENEALOGY. 99

REV. STEPHEN BACHILER, OF LYNN

(From the Histoiy of Lynn.)

Among the early settlers of Lynn were some persons of high reputation, and
most of them appeared to have been men of good character and of comfortable
property. There is no evidence that any of them had abandoned the church, or
been persecuted for their opinions, with the exception of the Rev. Stephen Bachiler,
and the few persons in his connection.

Governor Winthrop, who came over with them, begins his journal on "Easter
Monday," which Mr. Savage says was "duly honored;" and it is not until nearly
five years after, that we catch a glimpse of his Puritanism, which he begins to date
on "eleventh month."

If all the inhabitants of Lynn, excepting Mr. Bachiler and his six adherents,
were Episcopalians, how happened it that they at once zealously lent him their aid
in forming the church here? Good churchmen would as soon have thought of
fraternizing with Hugh Peters as Mr. Bachiler. His ardent temperament and
remembered wrongs led him to manifest such envenomed opposition to the church
that it is not clearly seen how her devout children could have been attracted to his
fold.

1632. For the first three years the people of Lynn had no minister, but some
of them attended church at Salem, and others had meetings for prayer and exhorta-
tion. The Rev. Stephen Bachiler, with his family, arrived at Boston on Thursday,
5 June, after tedious passage of eighty-eight days. He came in the ship William
and Francis, Capt. Thomas, which sailed from London, 9 March. He immediately
came to Lynn, where his daughter Theodate, wife of Christopher Hussey, resided.
He was seventy-one years of age. In his company were six persons who had be-
longed to a church with him in England ; and of these he constituted a church at
Lynn, to which he admitted such as desired to become members, and commenced
the exercise of public ministrations on Sunday, 8 June, without installation. He
baptized four children, born before his arrival; two of whom, Thomas Newhall and
Stephen Hussey, were born the same week. Thomas, being the first white child
born in Lynn, was first presented, but Mr. Bachiler put him aside, saying, "I will
baptize my own child first," meaning his daughter's.

Mr. Bachiler had been in the performance of his pastoral about four months,
when a complaint was made of some irregularities in his conduct. He was arraigned
before the court at Boston, on the 3rd of October, when the following order was
passed: "Mr. Bachiler is required to forbear exercising his giftes as a pastor or
teacher publiquely in our pattent, unlesse it be to those he brought with him, for
his contempt of authority, and until some scandal be removed." This was the
commencement of a series of difficulties which agitated the unhappy church for
several years.* In the course of a few months, Mr. Bachiler had so far succeeded
in regaining the esteem of the people that the court, on the 4th March, removed
their injunction that he should not preach in the colony, and left him at liberty to
resume the performance of his public services.

1636. Mr. Bachiler had been readily dismissed from his pastoral charge, in ex-
pectation that he would desist from its exercise, or remove from the town ; instead
of which, he renewed his covenant with the persons who came with him from Eng-
land, intending to continue his ministration. The people opposed this design, as
its tendency would be to frustrate their intention of settling another minister; they
therefore complained to the magistrates, who forbade his proceeding. Finding
that he disregarded their injunction, and refused to appear before them, they sent
the marshal to compel him. He was brought before the Court of Assistants, at
Boston, in January, and was discharged on engaging to leave the town within three
months. Whoever has attentively read the lives of the early ministers of New Eng-
land, as written by the Rev. Gotten Mather, must have noticed that they are all
represented to have been men of uncommon learning, piety and worth. This may
be imputed partly to the embellishments of his pen, and partly to the fact that they

*This was the second church in Essex Co. — [Kssex Antiquarian.]

were born and educated in the bosom of the church, and the best universities of
Europe. We are greatly indebted to Mr. Mather for his account of those ministers;
but we should have been far more grateful to him, if he had been more particular
with regard to dates and facts respecting the subjects of his biography, instead of
devoting so much time and space to the worthies of Greece and Rome; for we could
easily have presumed his acquaintance with ancient history and the classics, without
so ostentatious a display of it. In his life of Mr. Cobbet, he has given us but one
date with certainty — the rest had been supplied by my laborious research. Mr.
Bachiler he did not notice, and the following short sketch of his life is the first
which has ever been offered to the public. The Rev. Stephen Bachiler was born in
England, in the year 1561, and received orders in the established church. In the
early part of his life he enjoyed a good reputation, but being dissatisfied with some
of the ceremonies of the church, and refusing to continue his conformity, he was
deprived of his permission to perform her services. The church has been much
censured for her severity, and all uncharitableness and persecutions are to be depre-
cated; but in simply ejecting her ministers for nonconformity, after they had ap-
proved her mode of worship, and in the most solemn manner possible engaged
themselves in her service, the church is no more censurable than all other communi-
ties, with whom the same practice is common. On leaving England, Mr. Bachiler
went with his family to Holland, where he resided several years. He then re-
turned to London, from which place he sailed, on the gth of March, 1632, for New
England. He arrived at Lynn on the Gth of June, having in his company six per-
sons, his relatives and friends, who had belonged to his church in Holland. With
them, and the few who united with them, he constituted a little church at Lynn,
without any of the ceremonies usual on such occasions. He continued his ministra-
tions here for about three years, with repeated interruptions, but he never had the
support or the affections of the great body of the people. He was admitted a free-
man on the 6th of May, 1635, and removed from Lynn in February, 1636. He went
first to Ipswich, where he received a grant of fifty acres of land, and had the pros-
pect of a settlement; but some difficulty having arisen, he left the place. In the
very cold winter of 1637, he went on foot with some of his friends to Yarmouth, a
distance of about one hundred miles. There he intended to plant a town and
establish a church, but finding the difficulties great, and "his company being all
poor men," he relinquished the design. He then went to Newbury, where, on the
6th of July, 1638, the town made him a grant of land. On the 6th of September, the
general court granted him permission to settle a town at Hampton. In 1639, the
inhabitants of Ipswich voted to give him sixty acres of upland and twenty acres of
meadow, if he would reside there three years ; but he did not accept their invitation.
On the 5th of July, he and Christopher Hussey sold their houses and lands in New-
bury for six score pounds and removed to Hampton. There a town was planted
and a church gathered, of which Mr. Bachiler became the minister. The town
granted him three hundred acres of land, and he presented them with a bell for the
meeting house in 1640. Here he was treated with respect, and in 1641 he was ap-
pointed umpire in a case of real estate between George Cleves and John Winter.
Dissensions, however, soon commenced, and the people were divided between him
and his colleague. Rev. Timothy Dalton. He was accused of irregular conduct,
which is thus related by Governor Winthrop.

"Mr. Bachiler, the pastor of the church at Hampton, who had suffered much at
the hands of the bishops in England, being about eighty years of age, complained
to the magistrates against a woman and her husband for slandering him. Soon
after, his house took fire and was consumed, with nearly all his property. In 1643
he was restored to the communion, but not to the office of minister. In 1644, the
people of Exeter invited to settle with them, but the court laid their injunction.
In 1647, he was at Portsmouth, where he resided three years. In 1650, being then
eighty-nine years of age, and his second wife, Helen, being dead, he married his
third wife, Mary; and in May was fined ten pounds for not publishing the marriage
according to law, half of which fine was remitted in October."

Soon after this, Mr. Bachiler left the country and returned to England.

His wife in Hampton petitioned the court, in the following words, to free her
from her husband :
"To the Honored Governor, Deputy Governor, with the Magistrates and Deputies

at the General Court at Boston:

"The humble petition of Mary Bachiler, Sheweth — Whereas your petitioner,
having formerly lived with Mr. Stephen Bachiler, a minister of this Collany, as his
lawful wife, and not unknown to divers of you, as I concieve, and the said Mr.

BATCHELDER GENEALOGY. 101

Bachiler, upon some pretended ends of his owne, hath transported himself into ould
England, for many years since, and betaken himself to another wife, as your
petitioner hath often been credibly informed, and there continueth, whereby your
petitioner is left destitute, not only of a guide to her and her children, but also made
uncapable thereby of disposing of herselfe in the way of marriage to any other,
without a lawful permission ; and havmg now two children upon her hands, there
are chargeable unto her, in regard to a disease God hath has been pleased to lay
upon them both, which is not easily curable, and so weakening her estate in prose-
cuting the means of cure, that she is not able longer to subsist, without utter ruin-
ing her estate, or exposing herself to the common charity of other which your
petitioner is loth to put herself upon, if it may be lawfully avoided, as is well known
to all, or most part of her neighbors. And were she free from her engagement to
Mr. Bachiler, might probable soe dispose of herselfe, as that she might obtain a
meet-helpe to assist her to procure such means for her livelyhood and the recovery
of her childrens health, as might keep them from perishing; which your petitioner,
to her grief, is much afraid of, if not timely prevented.

"Your petitioner's humble request thereof is, that this Honored Court would be
pleased seriously to consider her condition, for matter of her relief in her freedom
from the said Mr. Bachiler, and that she may be at liberty to dispose of herselfe in
respect of any engagement to him, as in your wisdomes shall see most expedient;
and your petitioner shall humble pray.— Mary Bachiler."

No record appears that the court took any order on this petition ; nor are we
informed whether the lady succeeded to "Dispose of herselfe," in the manner which
she seems to have had so much at heart. It is to be hoped, however, that her re-
quest was granted, for the woman had undoubtedly suffered enough for her lapses,
as the reader will probably agree when he shall have read the sentence, which may
serve to clear up at least one of the mysteries in this strangest of all the lives of our
early ministers. In the records of York, on the 15th of October, 1651, is the fol-
lowing entry.

"We do present "George Rogers and Mary Batcheller, the wife of Mr. Stephen
Bachiler, minister, for adultry. It is ordered that Mrs. Batcheller, for adultry,
shall recieve forty stripes, save one, at the first town meeting held at Kittery, 6
weeks after her delivery, and be branded with the letter A." In the horrible bar-
barity of this sentence we blush for the severity of the punishment, rather than for
the crime. The husband and his erring wife have long since gone to their last ac-
count, and their errors and follies must be left to the adjustment of that tribunal
which we hope is more merciful than the decisions of men. Mr. Bachiler had, un-
doubtedly, many virtues, or he would not have had many friends, and the}' would
not have continued with him through all the changes of his varied life. Mr. Prince
says that he was "a man of fame in his day, a gentleman of learning and ingenuity,
and wrote a fine and curious hand." It was on his separation from the church at
Lynn, with its subsequent misfortune, that Edward Johnson wrote.

(In Morgan's Sphere of Gentry, printed in 1661, may be found Mr. Bachiler's
coat of arms. It consists of a plough, beneath which is a rising sun ; or, to use the
technical language of heraldry, vert a plough in fesse, and in base the sun rising,
or. The author calls it the coat of "Cain, Adam's son," and says it "did appertain
to Stephen Bachelor, the first pastor of the church of Ligonia, in New England;
which bearing was answerable to his profession in plowing up fallow ground of their
hearts, and the sun appearing in that part of the world, symbolically alluded to his
motto, 'sol justitiae exoritur. ' " Does not "the church of Ligonia," mean the church of
Lynn — an attempt being made to Latinize the name of the town? Another work on
heraldry gives the name Lavonia, but this is, no doubt, a misspelling. Where the witty
old author speaks of the plow as answering to Mr. Bachiler's profession in breaking
up the fallow grounds of their hearts, he might have passed on to the sun's office of
warming and rendering fruitfully the broken ground. The author takes occasion
to note, here and there, a comforting fact that seems to have become suddenly
established in his mind, with or without connection with the matter in hand.

Witness the following, which appears as a marginal note: "Women have
soules." And this seems to have been proved to his satisfaction by the first tempta-
tion, for he says, "Had she not had precious and rational soul the Devil would
never have attempted her." This is plausible, but it might be argued that he only
operated on her as an instrument for the destruction of her husband and he seems
inclined to give the evil one more credit for his sagacity than Eve for her integrity,
by asking, "Indeed, how could she withstand such temptation that did intice her
to curiosity and pride, the common sin of all their sex to this day?"

102 BATCHELDER GENEALOGY.

(The reader's attention is here solicited for a moment to the singular spectacle
brought to view in the affairs of Mr. Bachiler. While pastor of the church at
Hampton, he is charged with unbecoming conduct, yet the church at Exeter,
knowing the fact, invite him to settle over them. Did they discredit the charges,
or consider the offense not worth weighing? In 1650 he married a woman who
proves to be an adultress, leaves her, and petitions for a divorce. This the govern-
ment refuses, and going further, orders that they "shall lyve together as man and
wife." Now what is to be thought of a government that compels a thing so revolt-
ing and so unnecessarily cruel? From all the circumstances I am led that the
whole truth does not appear; that extenuating facts are concealed; that there was a
settled determination to make his continuance here uncomfortable, to say the least.
The truth is, he had ventured to question the right of the civil authorities' su-
premacy in spiritual affairs. And that was enough to excite their indignation.
The proof of his delinquencies, however, seems sufficient. It would be a bold step
to attempt to discredit Winthrop; though it may not be unreasonable to stiggest
that, considering his ire towards those who were inclined to anything like active
opposition to the ruling powers, he might have been examined with sufficient
severity the slanders which Mr. Bachiler's enemies put in circulation. Not only did
Mr. Bachiler oppose the incipient union of church and state, but he also espoused
the interests of New Hampshire, when they clashed with the assumptions of the
Bay Colony. And that was enough to bring a heavy load of fuel to the fire. And,
furthermore, as is well known, his colleague at Hampton. Mr. Dalton, was strongly
set in the Massachusetts interest and virulently opposed to his associate. Mr.
Bachiler was evidently an opponent not easily overcome, was well educated ; an
adept in controversy ; strong will. He was greatly sinned against. And he prob-
ably had little more sympathy in the colonial councils than Williams, Hutchinson
or Wheelwright.)

Thomas Newhall, the subject of this sketch, was born in 1630, and was bap-
tized by Rev. Bachiler, the first minister of Lynn, on the first Sunday after his
arrival, being June 8, 1632. A rather comical scene occurred at the baptism.
Christopher Hussey, who was a son-in-law of Mr. Bachiler, and who probably in-
duced the Rev. gentleman to come here, had a child, named Stephen, to be bap-
tized at the same time ; and Mr. Bachiler, as Thomas was first presented for the
holy rite, unceremoniously put him aside, declaring that he should baptize Stephen,
who appears to have been named for his Rev. grandfather, first. JSIr. Lewis seems
to have thought a sort of family pride induced this movement, which struck him as
an indignity toward Thomas, but it should, perhaps, be viewed in the light of a
compliment. It may have been that Stephen was noisy and turbulent, insomuch
that the old gentleman was ashamed of him and anxious to hurry him out of sight,
while Thomas was quiet and well behaved. But it is not important to pursue the
inquiry.

REV. STEPHEN BACHILER AT SANDWICH.

(Freeman's Cape Cod. )

No other settlement on the Cape had, up to this time, been effected; though it
appears that as early as August 7 "liberty was granted to Mr. Stephen Hopkins to
erect a house at Mattakeese, and cut hay there this j^ear to winter his cattle — pro-
vided, however,, that it be not to withdraw him from the town of Plymouth."

Again, September 3, to "Gabriel Wheldon and Gregory Armstrong, permission
was granted to go and dwell at Mattakeese, and have a lot there with the consent
of the committees for the place."

And again, subsequently, it is said, "The people of Lynn, having established a
settlement at Sandwich, an attempt was made from the same quarter to establish
another at Mattakeese, " (Yarmouth.) Foremost in this work was "the Rev.
Stephen Bachiler, the late pastor of Lynn, who, at the advanced age of 76, traveled
the whole distance from Lynn to Mattakeese, more than one hundred miles at an
inclement season of the year, on foot." The company with which Mr. Batcheler
was associated encountered many difficulties, and the undertaking was, therefore,
soon abandoned by them, to be resumed, however, by others, in due time.

The first permanent settlement of Yarmouth, next to that of Sandwich, com-

BATCHELDER GENEALOGY. 103

menced in the summer of 1639, and its incorporation, as will be seen, soon followed.
The northern part of this settlement was Mattakeese; the northeastern part,
Hockanon. Yet another part of the the territory of the ancient Yarmouth was
Sursuit, which, soon after becoming better known, invited valuable incessions to the
township, also in that direction.

Mr. Bachelor arrrived in Boston June 5, 1632, then 71 years of age. He was
soon established at Saugus, since called Lynn. The life of this aged man in Amer-
ica was "one constant scene of turbulence, disappointment and accusation." As
early as 1632, he was required by the ^Massachusetts court to forbear exercising his
gifts as pastor and teacher publicly in our patent, unless it be to ihose he brought
with him, for his contempt of authority, and until some scandal be removed. The
court removed this inhibition May 4, 1633. Governor Winthrop says: "He was
convented before the magistrates. The cause was, for that coming out of England
with a small body of six or seven persons, and having since received in many more
at Saugus, and contention growing between him and the greater part of his church,
who had, with the rest, received him as their pastor, he desired a dismission for
himself and his first members, which being granted on the supposition that he
woud leave the town as he had given out, he, with the six or seven persons, presently
renewed- their old covenant intending to raise another church in Saugus, whereat
the most and chief of the town being offended, for that it would cross their inten-
tions of calling Mr. Peters, or some other minister, they complained to the magis-
trates, who, foreseeing the distraction that would come from this course, had
forbidden him to proceed in any such church way, until the cause were considered
by the other ministers, &c. But he refused to desist; whereupon they sent for him,
and, after his delay day after day, the marshall was sent to fetch him. Upon his
appearance and submission, and promise to move out of the town within three
months, he was discharged." After he left Mattakeese he went to Newbury. In
1641 he was pastor of the church at Hampton. He was finally excommunicated,
when 80 years old. After two years, the sentence of excommunication was re-
moved, but he was still forbidden as a minister. In Hampton, there were conten-
tions between him and his elder, Dalton, until 1644, both having their parties. He
was then called to Exeter, but his settlement there was prevented by the express
interference of the court. He died at the age of 90 years.

The Indian Mattakeese, we have already intimated, extended some distance
within the present limits of East Barnstable. That ^art of Mattakeese where the
settlement commenced was within the present bounds of Yarmouth.

Since known as East Dennis; about seven or eight miles distant from the
former. — Freeman's Cape Cod.

REV. STEPHEN BACHILER AT HAMPTON.

(History of Hampton, N. H.)

The ancient town of Hampton, New Hampshire, embracedalarge territory lying
along the coast between Salisbury, Massachusetts, on the south, and Portsmouth,
or the lower Piscataqua settlement on the north ; and extending from the Atlantic
Ocean westward, about six miles to Squamscott Patent (Stratham) and Exeter, and
along the southerly side of the latter town, ten or twelve miles farther; the westerly
line running thence southerly to the boundary between Salisbury (now Amesbury)
and Haverhill, Massachusetts. The whole area is not less than one hundred square
miles.

In the autumn of 1638, Winnacunnet (Hampton) remaining still unsettled, and
the time allowed to the inhabitants of Newbury for removal hither having nearly
expired, a petition, signed by Stephen Bachiler and others, was presented to the
General Court, asking leave to settle here. Their prayer was granted. The
record stands thus:

"The Court grants that the petitioners, Mr. Steven Bachiler, Christo: Hussey,
Mary Hussey, Vidua, Thom: Cromwell, Samuel Skullard, John Osgood, John
Crosse, Samu: Greenfield, John Molton, Tho: Molton, Willi: Estow, Willi: Palmer,
Willi: Sergant, Richrd Swayne, Willi: Sanders, Robrt Tucke, wth divers others,
shall have liberty to begin a plantation at Winnacunnet and Mr. Bradstreete, Mr.
Winthrop, Jr., and Mr. Rawson, or some two of them, are to assist in setting out

104 BATCHELDER GENEALOGY.

the place of the towne, and apportioning the severall quantity of land to each man,
so as nothing shal bee done therein wthout leave from them, or two of them. " The
above grant was made some time during the session of the General Court, that was
commenced September 6, 1638; but as all the acts of the session bear this date, it
may not be possible to determir>e the very day on which the grant was made. Its
place on the records — it being the second' entry — indicates that it was made very
early in the session. An entry on the records of Hampton, in the handwriting of
one of the grantees. Rev. Steven Bachiler, assigns as the date, the seventh of the
eighth month, that is, October; but, as that day was the Sabbath, it must be pre-
sumed that some error has crept into the record, which possibly should read 8: 7
mo., that is, the 8th of September — a more probable date, it bemg two days
from the opening of the session.

From a brief entry on the records of the First Church in Hampton, made by one
of its pastors a hundred years after the settlement was formed, it appears to have
been the tradition at that time that the 14th of October was the date of its
origin. If such were then the belief, it may reasonably be considered as correct.
Several persons were then living, v/hose parents were among the first inhabitants,
and a still larger number, who remembered some of the settlers, and, in all proba-
bility, had heard them relate the time and circumstances of the settlement. That
the 14th of October was the exact date, there is, indeed, no positive proof; but
circumstantial evidence has, within a few years, been found, in the discover^' of a
letter, in Rev. Stephen Bachiler's own handwriting, which proved conclusively that
the intention, at least, declared within a week of that date, was to begin the settle-
ment on the 14th of October; and there is no reason to suppose that the plan was
not carried out. The letter is as follows: ~!; _ _^ _ —

"To my worshipful friend, John Winthrop, Esq., at his house in Ipswich, these:

Worthy Sir, I commend me to you & yours in the Lord, So it is, that we are
resolved (God so consenting) the second working day of the next weeke to set for-
ward towards our plantation, preparing thereto the day before. We intend to go
by a shallop, so that as we hope and desire to have your helpe and our christian
friend's Mr. Bradstreete; so we pray you both to be ready to accompany vs, the
day following: We were there & vewed it cursoryly and we found a reasonable
meet place, which we shall shew you; but we concluded nothing. I pray 5'ou
acquaint Mr. Bradstreete with our desire & purpose, that we may lay some founda-
tion & the better by your helpe & assistance.

The Lord's good eye be ever upon you & yours, & so I rest in him that is
alsufficient. Yours in all christian office & service,

his most unworthy
This 9, of this 8th month, 1638. Stephen Bachiler."

In the early part of the year 1639, a considerable accession was made to the
number of Hampton inhabitants. With this new band of settlers came Mr. Tim-
othy Dalton, who was soon associated with Mr. Bachiler, the pastor of the church, in
the work of the ministry. In the course of the j'ear the number of families had
increased to about sixty.

During the next fall session of the General Court, the Indian name, by which
the town had hitherto been called, was exchanged for the one that it has ever
since borne. The brief record of the act is in these words: "Winnacunnet shal
bee called Hampton."

As briefly is it stated in the town records, that this change was made "at Mr.
Bachiler's request." About the same time, through the influence of John Moulton,
the first deputy to the General Court, the right of disposing of, and laying out the
land, was vested in the town. The people were now in full possession of town
powers and privileges.

Change of name. — Here let us pause to inquire the reason of the change of
name, from Winnacunnet to Hampton. The following extract from a letter, written
by Hon. Charles E. Batchelder, of Portsmouth, is of much interest in this connec-
tion, and affords, at least, circumstantial evdience. Under date January 27, 1890,
he writes:

"Why was the name, Hampton, given to the new settlement north of the Merri-
mac? The record says the name was given at the request of Rev. Stephen Bachiler.
I have often wondered what connection there was between the new Hampton and
the old Hampton in England. I think I discovered the reason m my trip to Eng-
land this last summer. The last settlement of Rev. Stephen Bachiler in England
was at South Stoneham, at St. Mary's Church. This church is a dependency of St.

BATCHELDER GENEALOGY. 105

Mary's Church, Southampton, and the latter church presents the living of the South
Stoneham church to siich incumbent as they choose.

"The common name of Southampton in 1630 was Hampton, as can be seen by
Governor Winthrop calling it Hampton in his history of New England. The
'South' is said to have been added at a comparatively late date to distinguish this
Hampton from Hampton in Middlesex. The name is said to be derived from
Hantstone, that is, the stone of the county Hants or Hampshire. South Stoneham
was practically a suburb of the city of Southampton, being situated just outside the
city limits on the north.

"This close connection between South Stoneham and Southampton and the
settlement of Rev. Stephen Bachiler at the former place evidently accounts for the
name of our Hampton; and there may have been a real or fancied resemblance to
Southampton water as the first settlers of our Hampton sailed up Hampton river in
a shallop when they made their settlement there in 1638."

Soon after the settlement of Hampton, a controversy arose with Salisbury
about the line between the two towns, which was the beginning of a controversy
between New HamjDshire and Massachusetts, that vexed the colonies continually
and has but recently ended.

These towns were granted about the same time, and it was intended that the
southerly boundary of the former should be at the distance of three miles north of
the Merrimac river, while the latter should embrace all the territory between Hamp-
ton and the river. At the same session of the General Court, in which Mr. Bachiler
and his company had obtained permission to form a plantation here, measures
were taken to run out and establish this line. The court appointed for this purpose
Goodman Woodward and Mr. John Stretton, who were to be aided by an Indian,
probably as a guide, and t\70 other men to be selected bj^ the magistrates of Ipswich.

Not long after, Mr. Bachiler received from the town of Hampton a grant of 300
acres of land for a farm, to be laid out adjoining to the Salisbury line. But from some
cause — whether through any fault of the court committee, or of the lot-layers of
Hampton, does not appear — a small portion of this farm lay on the southerly side
of what Salisbury claimed as the true boundarj^ of the towns. Perhaps, however,
the difficulty arose without any fault of the committee or lot-layers. The Merrimac,
near its mouth, passes through an extensive bed of sand; and its channel and course
are often altered more or less, through the influence of storms and tides. From
change thus produced, this protracted controversy ^out the boundary lines may
have arisen. The subject was frequently brought to the notice of the General
Court by petitions, sometimes from one of the towns and sometimes from the other.

Committees were appointed in several instances, and sent out by the court to
view the line and hear the statements of the parties; but the reports of the different
committees were almost as discordant as the views of the people of the two towns.

The first committee appointed after the settlement of the towns had actually
begun was in 1640, as already related. Both towns seemed to be satisfied with the
report of this committee, as they understood it, yet put upon it so different con-
structions as to furnish matter of dispute for man}^ years. Hampton claimed a
straight line from the river's mouth to the uppermost or southwestern corner of
Mr. Bachiler's farm, and Salisbury contended that it ought to run straight to the
lower, or southeastern corner, and then the southerly side of the farm to be the
line between the towns from end to end of the farm.

A careful investigation will make it apparent that the motives which led to
the settlement of Hampton were not merely nor mainly of a mercenary character.
The adventurers who, in 1623, settled on the banks of the Piscataqua may have gone
thither, as has been said of them, to fish and to trade. It is equally true that the
early inhabitants of this town engaged in fishing and in farming, if not in trade,
but with the latter these employments were resorted to for a living, while their
chief aim was to secure higher objects than the accumulation of wealth. In a
word, they were Puritans of a kindred spirit with the Pilgrims of the Mayflower.
They loved the ordinances of religion, and settled there to enjoy religious freedom
and the rights of conscience which had been denied them in the land of their birth.

The practice of the first settlers of the town was in accordance with their pro-
fessed principles. They brought with them the ordinances of the gospel ; for it is
a matter of record, that when the grant for a plantation was made by the General
Court, some of the grantees were already "united together by church government."
They also brought with them a pastor. Rev. Stephen Bachiler, who may justly be
regarded as the father and founder of the town.

not known. It is also doubtful where he was educated ; very possibly at Cambridge,
where many with whom he appears to have been intimate, were known to have been.
If the historians of Lynn are correct, he was of (so called) gentle blood; for New-
hall, in his edition of Lewis' history of that town, states that, in Morgan's "Sphere of
Gentry" (1661) is figured the coat-of-arms of Rev. Stephen Bachiler, as follows:
"Vert, a plough in fesse, and in base, the sun rising, or." This gives a possible
clew to the interpretation of a letter written by him, in 1643, to the church in
Boston, which will be noted presently.

Mr. Bachiler received orders in' the established church, but being a reformer,
and having the courage of his convictions, he refused to conform to some of the cere-
monials of the church, and therefore "suffered. much at the hands of the bishops."
He became a Dissenter, and, as a Dissenter went, with friends and followers to
Holland. Now, if the historian may be permitted to "read between the lines" of
the letter above mentioned, this would be the story of what immediately followed:
A company was formed, of which Mr. Bachiler was the acknowledged leader,
called, in his honor, The Company of the Plough, intending to come to New Eng-
land in 1630, and settle in New Town (Cambridge). Mr. Bachiler to "Sit down
with them." "not as a planter only but as a Pastor also." The church was organ-
ized and began its existence in Holland; and plans were so far perfected, that a
ship was chartered and freighted; but "upon the disaster which happened to the
goods of the company, by the false dealing of those entrusted by us with the
Plough's ship and our goods therein," perhaps instigated by the persecuting
bishops, all was lost and the emigration delayed. And so it happened that the
pastor's family returned to England, while his daughter, Theodate, and her hus-
band, Christopher Hussey, both young and ardent, crossed the ocean to prepare a
resting place for her aged father and his church. This they found, as they fondly
hoped, in Saugus (Lynn).

The above narrative, though not infallible history, is highly probable; but
what follows is matter of record. Accompanied by some of his family, Mr. Bachiler
sailed from London on the 9th of March, 1632, in the William and Francis, and
arrived at Boston on the 5th of June. He went immediately to Lynn, where his
son-in-law, Christopher Hussey, was already resident. There he began his ministry
in New England, his church, organized in Holland, uniting with others previously
at Lynn, without asking permission, and without ceremony.

Now, it must be premised, that many of the Puritans, persecuted in England,
fled to these western shores, where they became in turn persecutors, as intolerant
as their enemies across the sea. The ministers and magistrates formed a religious
aristocracy, bigoted and domineering. Mr. Bachiler, a liberal Puritan, zealous for
popular rights, and possibly too independent in maintaining them, soon became
odious to this persecuting power.

They sought a quarrel against him, and found it in the manner of establishing
his church. And now the magistrates of the colony required him "to forbeare
exercising his guifts as a pastr or teacher publiquely," in Massachusetts, "unless
it be to those hee brought with him ; for his contempt of authority, & till some
scandles be removed." The term scandal has been wrongly supposed to imply im-
moral conduct in Mr. Bachiler. It was probably nothing more than petty quarrels,
growing partly out of his partiality, in baptizing his own grandson before another
child, born a week earlier.

This injunction was openly and strongly condemned by the liberal party, which
was no inconsiderable one in the colony, and five months later the magistrates
felt compelled to rescind it, though it does not appear that the victim had, in the
meantime, made any acknowledgment of fault to prepare the way for such an act.

Mr. Bachiler remained pastor of the church at Lynn till about the close of 1635.
The church at that time had been considerably enlarged, and a controversy had
arisen between him and a majority of the members. The grounds of this contro-
versy are not stated; but as Mr. Bachiler was an old man, it is possible that his
church may have been desirous of obtaining a younger or a more popular minister.
The account given by Governor Winthrop seems to afford some ground for this
supposition. Mr. Bachiler asked a dismission for himself and his first members, six
or seven in number, who had come from England with him ; and the church granted
it, supposing that they would leave the town, for so it was reported, Mr. Bachiler
had intimated. On being dismissed, however, he and his brethren immediately
renewed their old covenant, intending to raise another church there. At this "the
most and chief of the town" were offended, for, as Governor Winthrop says, "it
would cross their intentions of calling Mr. Peter, or some other minister." They

BATCHELDER GENEALOGY. 107

then complained to the magistrate, by whom he was forbidden "to proceed in any
such church way until the cause were considered by the other ministers, etc."
r - But Mr. Bachiler refused to desist, probably regarding the course of the magis-
trates as an unjustifiable interference with his affairs; and this independence, both in
thinking and acting, may give a clew to the difficulties that arose from time to time
between him and the government. In this case, the magistrates "sent for him, and
upon his delay, day after day, the marshall was sent" to convey him to Boston.
Being thus taken into custody, he submitted to the civil authority and gave a "prom-
ise to remove out of the town within three months. ' ' He was thereupon discharged.

This account of Mr. Bachiler's connection with the church and people of Lynn
is given, partly for the purpose of showing that some of the charges made against
him may not have been well founded, having originated in the enmity of those who
made them ; and partly because here, in the renewal of the church covenant at
Lynn, near the close of the year 1635, we find the organization of the Hampton
church.

From Lynn, Mr. Bachiler removed to Ipswich. In 1637, he and his company^
undertook to form a settlement at Mattakeese (Yarmouth) on Cape Cod. Governor
Winthrop says that he was then "about 76 years of age; yet he went thither on
foot in a very hard season, " the distance from Ipswich being nearly one hundred
miles. This enterprise was relinquished on account of the poverty of the company,
and the difficulties that they had to encounter.

In 1638, Mr. Bachiler and some or all of his company were at Newbury, and in
the fall of that year settled at Winnacunnet.

According to tradition, a meeting house was built by those who formed the
settlement, as soon as they had provided log cabins for themselves. Like their
houses, it was undoubtedly made of logs, but of its form and dimensions we have
no knowledge. It was built on the green — near where the Academy afterwards
stood — a site occupied by a successions of meeting houses, till the early part of the
present century. The people were called together for public worship by the ring-
ing of a bell, as appears from the following vote, passed at the second town meeting,
November 27, 1639: "Wm. Samborne (wth his consent) is appointed to ring the
bell before the meetings on the Lord's dayes & other dayes, for which he is to have
6d pr lott of eury one having a lott wthn the town." The bell, which was a pres-
ent frorn the pastor, was probably hung on a frame in the open air, or suspended
from some tree, till another house was built, which was furnished with a tower.

In the spring of 1639, Mr. Timothy Dal ton was associated with Mr. Bachiler in
the work of his ministry, the latter holding the office of pastor, and the former that
of teacher. The great age of the pastor was probably the reason for emplojang
another minister. But the connection was not an harmonious one. Both of the
ministers were orthodox in sentiment, but they differed widely in practice, Mr.
Bachiler being open and independent, and Mr. Dalton, in accord with the magis-
trates and elders. Mr. Bachiler was charged with a morality, but whether justly or
unjustly is "not proven. " He was excommunicated in 1 641, and restored to the
church in 1643, but not to the pastoral office.

That he committed some imprudences is admitted, but as to anything worse, it
is likelier that the old persecutions followed him. He himself, in the letter before
mentioned, to the church in Boston, complains bitterly of Mr. Dalton, in the follow-
ing words: "I see not how I can depart hence till I have (or (I mean) God for me)
cleared and vindicated the cause and wrongs I have suffered of the church I live
yet in : that is from the Teacher (indeed) who hath don all and ben the cause of all
the dishonorr that hath accrew'd to God, shame to myselfe and griefe to all God's
people, by his irregular proceedings and abuse of the power of the church in
his hand, by the maior parte cleaveing to him, being his countrymen and acquain-
tance in old England. . . . The Teacher's act of his excommunicating me
would prove the foulest matter, both for the cause alleged, of that excommunica-
tion, and the impulsive cause (even wrath and revenge) and also the manner of all
his proceeding throughout to the very end ; and lastly his keeping me still under
bonds." Probably there was much hot temper on both sides. Each minister had
partisans and friends in the town and in the church ; but the larger number favored
the teacher. Mr. Bachiler still remained in Hampton, and the difficulties and dis-
tractions among the inhabitants appeared to have increased. Petitions and remon-
strances in relation to these difficulties were sent to the General Court at the May
session, in 1644. The court appointed a committee with power to hear and deter-
mine all matters in dispute among the people, but the action of the committee is
not known. About this time some of the people of Exeter proposed to form a new

®8 BATCHELDER GENEALOGY.

church and invite Mr. Bachiler to become their pa:;tor, though he was then more
than four score years of age. For this purpose, they appointed a day, and gave
notice thereof to the magistrates and churches. At this juncture the General Court
interfered; "whereas, it appears to this Crt, that some of the inhabitants of
Excetter do intend shortly to gather a church & call Mr. Bachiler to be their
Minister & foreasmuch as the division & contentions wch are amonge the inhabi-
tants there are judged by this Crt to bee such as for the prsent they cannot
comfortably & wth apprbation, prceed in so weighty & sacred affaires, it is
therefore ordered, that directions shall be forthwth sent to the said inhabitants to
defer the gathering of any church, or other such preceding until this Cort or the
Cort at Ipswich (upon further satisfaction of their reconciliation & fitness) shall
give allowance there unto." To this order the people of Exeter submitted, and did
not proceed to gather a church. Had the charges affecting the character of Mr.
Bachiler been substantiated, we can hardly suppose that the people of Exeter, a town
adjoining Hampton, should be unacquainted with the fact, or that, knowing the
fact, they would still invite him to become their minister. It is also worthy of
notice that in the order of the court not the slightest allusion is made to any
unfitness for the sacred office on the part of Mr. Bachiler. The order is based
entirely on the divisions among the people of Exeter. Mr. Bachiler did not much
longer remain in Hampton. His house* and most of the contents having been
destroyed by fire, he removed to Strawberry Bank (Portsmouth) where he lived
from 1647 to 1650, and probably somewhat later. During this time he sued the
town of Hampton for "wages" due for his services, and obtained a verdict in his
favor; for it appears in the Records of the Norfolk Courts that the town sent a
petition to the General Court "concerning Mr. Bachiler's executyon."

Concerning Mr. Bachiler's domestic relations in all these years, we know
absolutely nothing. His wife, Helen, died, whether before or after his removal
from Hampton is not certain; and he married, probably about 1648, his third wife,
Mary, a widow (with children) who, from mercenary motives, inviegled him into
the marriage, in his extreme old age. But she proved to be a disreputable woman,
and he separated from her. His old enemy, the civil power, ordered him to live
with her, and fined him for not publishing his intention of marriage. Weary and
disheartened, he could endure no more; and (probably in 1655), escorted by his
grandson, Stephen Sanborn, returned to England. Not even yet the tongue of
calumny silenced; forhisbad wife sued for a divorce, in 1657, in order that she might
be free to marry again, should opportunity offer, alleging that she was credibly
informed "that he had married a fourth wife in England." On no stronger testi-
mony does this assertion rest. "The ancient Stephen Bachiler, of Hampton, New
Hampshire, died at Hackney, and village and Parish in Middlesex, two miles from
London, in 1660, in the one hundredth year of his age."

It is difficult to form a just estimate of Mr. Bachiler's character. Much of our
information concerning him comes through the records of the acts of the magis-
trates and the General Court, or the writing of Governor Winthrop, with whom he
was no favorite. His refusal to bow to unreasonnble mandates made him enemies
in high places, and his misfortunes followed as a natural sequence. But that he was
a good and useful man there can be no reasonable doubt.

REV. STEPHEN BACHILER AT EXETER.

(History of Exeter, N. H.)

In the spring of 1644 some of the inhabitants made an attempt to gather a new
church in Exeter, and to call the aged Rev. Stephen Bachiler of Hampton in the
ministry thereof. They went so far as to appoint a day of humiliation on which to
carry both these purposes into effect, but intelligence of their design having reached
the ears of the Massachusetts General Court, that body overruled it by adopting
on the 29th of May, 1644, the following resolution:

*Whereas, the town of Hampton granted the farm which was lately Mr. Bacheler's in Hamp-
ton, to John Wheelwright, pastor of the church in Hampton, in fee 10 mo. 1(148, the prudential
men of Hampton, Ro^er Shaw, Robert Tuck, Robert Page and Willi Estow, convey all that farm
which Steven Bacheller sold to Willi Howard and Thomas Wai d, of Hampton, which they
lately sold to Hampton, 14: 12; ]()4i), witness Timothie Dalton and William Ffullar, acknowl-
dedge before Tho. Wiggin 5: 6; 1650.— Old Norfolk Records.

"Whereas, it appears to this court that some of the inhabitants of Exeter do
intend shortly to gather a church and call Mr. Bachiler to be their minister, and
forasmuch as the divisions and contentions which are among the inhabitants are
judged by this court to be such as for the present they cannot comfortable and with
approbation proceed in so weighty and sacred affairs ; it is therefore ordered that
direction should be forthwith send to the said inhabitants to defer the gathering of
any church or other such proceeding until this court of the court of Ipswich obtain
further satisfaction of their reconciliation and fitness shall give allowance thereunto. ' '

5. iv. STEPHEN, b. 1594-

6. V. ANN, b. 1601, m. John Sanborn. The husband of Anne Bachiler,

bapt. 1600, was one of the Hampshire Sambornes, descended
from Nicholas, son of Walter and Margaret (Drew) Samborne of
Southcot in Berks, from whom also descended the Sambornes of
Timsbury in Somerset. It seems probable that the connection
between the American and English Sambornes came somehow
through Rev. James Samborne, son of Rev. James and father of
Rev. Thomas Samborne, who all lived in that part of Hampshire
where the Bachilers came from, though in different parishes — at
Weyhill, Grately, and Upper Clatford — or perhaps through Ed-
ward Samborne, and uncle of Rev. James of Grately and Clatford.
Like Stephen Bachiler, the .second Rev. James was an Oxford man,
and settled within a
few miles of Where- f""'^
well, where Bachil-
er was rector from
1587 to 1605. His
patron, Sir Thomas ^^^
Jervois. was a Puri-
tan, like Bachiler:
and his family was
associated with
Freefolk, very near
to Kingsclere, the
home of the Bach-
ilers, and to Newton i
Stacy, where Steph- '
en Bachiler lived
from 1627 to 1631.
But the exact con-
necting link be-
tween the husband
of Anne Bachiler
and the Timsbury
Samborne family is
yet to be discovered.

All the Sanborns
in America are descended from three brothers, John, William and
Stephen, who came to America in 1632 with their grandfather.
Rev. Stephen Bachiler, and were sons of an English Samborne, who,
about 1619, married Anne Bachiler. It has been supposed that
the widow, Anne Samborne, came with her children, but no defi-
nite record of her life here has been discovered. Her will is not filed
here, nor was she at Hampton with her father and sons in 1638.
Very full records of the American Sanborns have been compiled.
In 1S55 an excellent beginning was made by Dr. Nathan wSanborn;
and this has been supplemented by genealogies in the histories of
Hampton and of Sanbornton, N. H., and by Victor Channing
Sanborn, of Chicago. No full account, however, has been given
of the first generation in America, of which the following is a
brief record:

23, 1689, Elizabeth B. Knill, wid. of John; she survived him; she was admitted a
member of the Charlestown church, Sept. 2, 1677. He was always a resident
of Hampton, and held many oiBces of trust and honor in town and church.
He was for some time constable, and for nine years was a selectman. Nathaniel
Bachelor of Hampton made a deposition Dec. 9, 1680, and was then about 50 years
of age. His Province rate was the fifth in size in 1680 of a list of 150 inhabitants of
Hampton. He was constable in 1683. The following anecdote is told of him:
When, after the death of his first wife, he had determined to marry again, he
resolved to be governed in his choice by the direction in which his staff, held perpen-
dicularly over the floor, should fall, when dropped from his hand. The experiment
being tried, the staff fell towards the southwest, and in that direction he bent his
steps. Having traveled as far as Woburn, he called on the Widow Wyman and
offered her his hand, stating that he was going to Boston and would call for her
answer on his return. It was favorable, for they were at once married. His widow,
Elizabeth, and children, made an agreement March 17, 1710, in addition to his will,
which is dated Feb. 14, 1706-7. The parties were the widow, Nathaniel, Benjamin,
Mary Palmer, Samuel, Jonathan, Thomas and Joseph Batcheller: Joseph Palmer
for his wife, Deborah; SamnH Shnvr for hifi wifCjEsther: John Deaborn for his
wife, Abigail; Benjamin Xampree for his wife, JaneT~Samuel Deaborn for his wife,
Mercy, Maurice Hobbs for his wife, Theodate. The son, Stephen, was appointed
to make the division. It may be possible that Mary Palmer was a daughter, but
more probably a grand-daughter, as she received only a cow and three sheep. He
d. suddenly Jan. 2, 1710. Res. Hampton, N. H.

An indenture, made March 22, 1663-4, between Ruth Dalton, of Hampton, Mass.,
widow of the Rev. Timothy Dalton. and Nathaniel Batcheller, of Hampton, termed
by Mrs. D. "my constituted heir." The consideration was ^^200, to be paid to
Ruth's assigns after her decease, ;!^5o the first year, then ^20 annually, and the last
year ;^io. The property conveyed comprised all of Ruth's houses, lands, etc.,
except certain rooms in which she lived, for which, after her death, Batcheller was
to pay an additional ^"15, and to allow Deborah Smith, wife of John Smith, to
occupy certain rooms. The yearly payments after Mrs. Dalton's death were to be
made as follows: The first year ^50 to Deborah Smith, wife of John Smith; the
second year, ;/,'2o to Elizabeth, wife of Joseph Merry; the third year ^^'20 to Phebe,
wife of Thomas Arnall ; the fourth year, ^20 to Joseph Parker (Parkhurst) ; the
fifth year, ^'20 to George Parker (Parkhurst); the sixth year, ;^2o to Mary, wife of
Thomas Carter, of Woburn; the seventh year, ;^io to Timothy HiUiard, ;,^io to
Benjamin HiUiard; the eighth year, ^10 to Elizabeth Hilliard, dau. of Elizabeth
Merry; ^5 to Abigail Ambrose, dau. of the wife of John Severans of Salisbury ; ;^5 to
Mary, wife of William Fifield; the ninth year, ^5 to Walter Roper, of Ipswich; £i
to Hannah Willix. Batcheller was also to pay an annual rent of ;^io to Mrs. Dalton
during her life. All the legacies were to be paid the parties or their heirs or
assigns. A codicil gives some furniture to Deborah Batcheller, £\o to John Smith,
Jr., and a trunk to Timothy Dalton, son of Samuel Dalton, of Hampton. As to the
relation which these legatees bore to Mrs. Dalton, and to each other, it appears that
Joseph and George Parkhurst both called her "aunt." They were evidently the
sons of George Parkhurst, Sen., of Watertown, and Phebe, wife of Thomas Arnold,
was their sister. Again, the Hampton records give the marriage, 14 Dec. 1659, ^f
Joseph Merry and widow Elizabeth Hilliard of Hilyard. She was, doubtless, the
widow of Emanuel Hilliard, who was drowned 20 Oct., 1659. Her children, equally,
of course, were Timothy, Benjamin and Elizabeth H. Savage, indeed, thought that
Elizabeth H. was wife of Timothy, but he did not know that Mrs. Merry was a

116 BATCHELDER GENEALOGY.

Widow Hilliard, and thought her daughter, Elizabeth H. must be so called from
her married name. As it stands, the explanation is simple, and brings all the
;^io legatees in one category. The £s ones are probably more remote. We have
then, Deborah Smith, Elizabeth (Hilliard) Merry and her three children, the Park-
hursts and Mary Carter, all presumably nieces and nephews of Mrs. Dalton. They
may have been brothers and sister or cousins, but we cannot at present decide. It
is reasonably sure that these were relatives of Mrs. Dalton and not of her husband,
because she does not mention Dalton's relatives who were then living in Hampton.
Was Nathaniel Batcheller a connection? His wife certainly was, being Deborah,
daughter of Deborah and John Smith. Batcheller calls George Parkhurst his uncle,
and we may, perhaps, accept that rather as a proof that P. was uncle to B's wife,
and that Mrs. Smith was a daughter of George Parkhurst, Sen. It has always been
thought that the Daltons, Timothy and Ruth, died childless, and, therefore, I am
inclined to believe that Deborah Smith was merely the favorite niece. I deem it
more probable that Deborah Smith and Elizabeth (Hilliard) Merry were sisters of
the Parkhursts than cousins; for, if Deborah was a Parkhurst, it is not likely that
a cousin would be interposed in the list between her and Phebe (Parkhurst) Arnold;
especially as a Benjamin Parkhurst, another brother, who was alive in 16O9, is not
mentioned by his aunt, Dalton, Mary, wife of Rev. Thomas Carter (Register xvii,
51 ) may be either sister or cousin to the preceding Batcheller endorsed a paper,
"Cousin John Wyman about my uncle Carter's legacy." If Mrs. Carter were a
Parkhurst, she would be aunt to Batcheller's wife. It must be noted that Nathaniel
Batcheller, after the death of his wife, Deborah Smith, married Mary, widow of
John Wyman and daughter of Mary Carter. Another daughter, Abigail Carter,
married a John Smith, very probably a son of Deborah Smith. The chances are
that Batcheller's wives were own cousins, and that Smith married an own cousin.
It is worth noticing that Nathaniel Batcheller was the son of Rev. Stephen Batch-
eller or of Bochilor, who had lived a rambling and contentious life here, and who was,
at one time, about 1640, a colleague of the Rev. Timothy Dalton, at Hampton. It is
a little strange that a marriage should have occurred between the families, and
especially that Nathaniel Batcheller should have been the greatest recipient of Mrs.
Dalton's property. It seems that Mrs. Dalton, in her will, calls him "cousin," as
she does his mother-in-law, Mrs. Smith. It is also true that he was probably much
older than his wife; for all this, as he calls Parkhurst and Caiter his uncles, he must
have been in the same degi'ee of distance from Mrs. Dalton as his wife clearly was,
and we may safely conclude that his "cousinship" was through his wife.

He inherited the homestead and had a family of twelve ch. One
of the Sons, was Henry, who was b. Feb. 23, 1751, having studied
medicine, he established himself as a physician at Nottingham
square in 1772. From his early youth he was fond of military exer-
cise, and at once interested himself in teaching such young men
as naturally gathered around him the tactics that prevailed at that
time. These young men recognized him as their superior officer,
with whose wishes they readily complied. So, when the stirring
times of the Revolution approached, military ardor increased,
and the conviction that the time was hastening when their
knowledge in miltary science would be called into requisition,
stimulated them to greater sacrifices and bound them more closely
to their leader. And when the news reached Nottingham that,
on April 19, 1775, seven Americans — the first martyrs of the Revo-
lution— had fallen in the conflict at Lexington, Dr. Dearborn and
his band from Nottingham, Deerfield, Epsom and Northwood
started, armed as best they might be, for the scene of action, and,
after traveling the whole night, on the following morning report-
ed themselves as ready for duty at Medford. There they met
some 1,200 men from New Hampshire. Organization was at once
affected and discipline maintained. A company was formed at
Cambridge and Dr. Dearborn was chosen captain. This company
was in Col. Stark's regiment and was at the memorable battle on
the heights at Charlestown, being posted on the left wing,
behind a fence, from which position they freely galled the British
as they advanced to the attack and cut them down by whole ranks
at once. Capt. Dearborn commanded a company in Arnold's ex-
pedition against Quebec in 1775-6. Late in the summer of 1775
Gen. Montgomery led an army by the way of Lake Champlain.
He succeeded in taking St. Johns and Montreal, and at Quebec
was joined by Col. Arnold with a crowd of half-clad, half fam-
ished men, who had ascended the Kennebec, and then struck
across the wilderness. It is hard to conceive the hardships these
men endured. Their way was through tangled thickets and over
pathless mountains. Worn out, cold, sick and disheartened, they
still pressed forward. The last ox was killed and eaten, the last
dog was taken up for food, and their only resource against starva-
tion was roots and moose-skin moccasins. For two days they ate
nothing. Morgan, Greene, Meigs and Aaron Burr were of this
brave band. No braver man was in all that number than Dear-
born, none more enduring and uncomplaining than the men he
commanded. After this campaign. Dearborn was in the battles
of Stillwater, and Saratoga, in 1777, as Major, with the command
of a district corps. And again he served as Deputy Quartermaster
General. After this. Dearborn was comissioned as colonel of the
First N. H. regiment from 1781 to the end of the war. He was in
New Jersey in 1780 and with Washington at Yorktown in 1781.
In 1784, after the war, he removed to Maine, where he was made
brigadier general of the militia. President Washington appointed
him marshal of the District of Maine. In 1793 he was elected to
Congress and served two terms. He was Secretary of War from
1801 to 1809, when he was made collector of the Port of Boston. In
1 812 he was made senior major-general of the United States army
and, having command of the Department of the North, he intend-
ed to invade Canada. This plan was not realized and he accepted
the offer of an armistice made by Sir George Prevost, and rejected
by President Madison. In 18 13 he went with his army to Canada
and captured York (now Toronto), and, transporting his forces to
the mouth of the Niagara, took Fort George. In July, 181 3, Gen-
eral Dearborn was placed in command of the forces in the military
district of New York City, which post he resigned in 1815. In
1822 to 1824 he was minister to Portugal. He died in Roxbury,
Mass., June 6, 1829.

Samuel Deaborn has been called the pioneer of North Hampton,
N. H., and is said to have built the first house in the town "north
of the brook. " He purchased a large tract of land, selected a farm
for himself in the center and sold out the remainder to his brother
John in such a manner as to leave himself entirely shut off from
the highway, excepting a lane which passed by his brother's door.
For years the farm was afterwards in possession of Dea. Nathaniel
Deaborn, a lineal descendant. Samuel was one of the petitioners
for the incorporation of the town, but appears to have kept him-
self, like his farm, very much retired from the public, engaging
only in his domestic relations. His wife died quite aged. Ch. :

with his brother Stephen in many of the campaigns against the Indians about
Hampton. Often he was a soldier and at other times a scout or messenger. He
suffered many hardships and braved numerous dangers at Oyster River, Exeter,
Hampton and at Fort William and Mary. He was probably a member of Daniel
Tilton's garrison in Hampton. In 1707 he was in the company of Lieut. Joseph
Swett's against Port Royal.

b. Hampton, N. H., Oct. 10, 171 5. She was a woman of remark-
able strength of character, robust in form, with black hair, a
piercing black eye and dark complexion. She was a woman of
marked ability. Their son Ebenezer was born April 22, 1739; "^•
Jan. 18, 1 761, Mehitable Smith, who d. March 28, 1774; m. 2d, Oct.
13, 1774, Abigail Eastman.* He was a captain in the Revolution-
ary \Var, was often selectman and Representative. Their son,
Daniel Webster, American statesman, was born at Salisbury, N.
H., Jan. 18, 1782. His family can be traced back without diffi-
culty to Thomas Webster, of Scottish ancestry, who settled in
New Hampshire in 1636, but no further. Ebenezer Webster, the
father of Daniel, was born in Kingston, N. H., in 1739, and died
in Salisbury (now Franklin 1 in iSoO. He served in the old
French war under Sir Jeffrey Amherst, and in 1761 was one of
the tirsL settlers of what is now Franklin, N. H., then the most
northei^n of the New England settlements. There he became a
farmer and also kept a tavern. At the opening of the Revolution
he lead the Salisbury militia to Cambridge, and subsequently did
much service till the close of the war, when he attained the rank
of Colonel of the militia. He was a member of the lower branch
of the legislature for several years, served also in the state senate
and from 1791 until his death was judge of the court of common
pleas of Hillsboro county. His son Ezekiel was born in Salis-
bury in March, 17S0, and died in Concord, N. H., April 10,
1829. He was graduated at Dartmouth College in 1804, and
rose to eminence that time. He was also a member for several
years of the New Hampshire legislature. His death resulted
suddenly from disease of the heart, while trying a case.

From him his sons Ezekiel and Daniel inherited great physical
force,! their mother was Abigail Eastman. Living on the
frontier, Daniel was compelled to depend for early education on
his mother and on the schooling customary in winter, and for
much of this he was indebted to the fact that he was jshysically
the weakest of his family. It is a little odd, however, that he
failed utterly in that with v,'hich his final reputation was so
closely connected. In his own words, "There was one thing I
could not do; I could not make a declamation; I could not speak

*The marriage record reads "Richard Fitts and Sara Ordway was marryed Octobar 8th,
l(ji54." Richard Fitts was one of ninety-one grantees of "Newberry." A son of his friend.
Deputy Governor .Symonds, was named for him "Richard Fitts vSyinonds." His will, probated
1(573, appointed his "'well beloved kinsman Abrahain Fitts," son of Robert, executor, and gave
him "all his lands and personal estate." Mr. Robert Fitts, "planter," was an original proprietor
at Salisbury, in 1635. He was the son of Sir John Fitz of Fitzford, Tavistock, Devonshire, Eng-
land, and came to Massachusetts in the ship William and John, in which he "embarqued
secundo die Septembris, 16;^5." Richard Fitts was the son of Abraham and received the lands
of his grandfather Robert in Salisbury. His marriage is thus recorded: "Richard Fitts was
married to Sarah Thorne March ye 18th 1694-5." They were the great-grandparents of Daniel
Webster. They removed to Salisbury from Ipswich, and Richard built a block-house to defend
his family from the Indians, by whom they were repeatedly attacked. Mrs. Sarah (Thorne)
Fitts "was a superior woman, remarkable for resolution of character, bravery and pietv, walk-
ing sixteen miles to worship with the people of God, at Ipswich, where she was a church mem-
ber," every Sunday. She is also spoken of as "a dutiful and affectionate wife, a kind mother
and a pious, charitable and useful member of society." She died March, 177'3, aged one hun-
dred years. Mr. Richard Fitts died Dec. 3, 1744, aged seventy-two years. Their youngest
child, 'Jerusha, married Roger Eastman, Jan. 25, 1730. He was a great-grandson of Roger East-
man, the emigrant. They settled in Salisbury, where their children were born. Abigail, the
eldest, became the second wife of Colonel Ebenezer Webster, Oct. 13, 1774, and the mother of
Daniel Webster, who was born Jan. 18, 1782, graduated at Dartmouth College, 1801, and died
Oct. 24, 18.52. Mrs. Abigail Webster had two brothers, Ezekiel and Daniel Eastman, for whom
her two sons were named.

TDaniel Webster wrote to his son Fletcher March 5, 1840; "I believe we are all indebted to
my father's mother for a large portion of the little sense w^hich belongs to us. Her name was
Susannah Bachelder; she was the descendant of a clergyman and a woman of uncommon
strength of understanding. If I had had many boj-s I should have called one of them Bachel-
der."

before the school." When he was fifteen years old a family coun-
cil decided to send him to college. After an imperfect prepara-
tion he graduated at Dartmouth College in 1801, studied law, and
was admitted to the bar in Boston in 1805 from the office of Chris-
topher Gore. Regard for his father made Webster begin practice
in the town of Boscawen, near his early home, but his father died
within a year, and he removed to Portsmouth, the largest town of
the state. Here he took a leading place at the bar, having but one
rival. In May. 18 13, he entered Congress as a representative
from New Hampshire, being placed at once on the committee of
foreign affairs.

As a moderate Federalist, he held that attacks on Canada
should cease, and that the war should be confined to the ocean.
His first speech showed that the raw New Hampshire boy of a
dozen years before had -developed new powers.

The position of any Federalist in Congress, however, was not a
wide sphere of influence, and Webster, removing to Boston in
1816, gave up political life for some years.

At the Massachusetts bar Webster soon gained a place as
prominent as he had held in New Hampshire, and within three
years his reputation as a lawyer had become national. His na-
tional standing was gained by his argument in the "Dartmouth
College case" practically indorsed by the supreme court. Dart-
mouth College had been chartered by the king in 1769. In 1816
the New Hampshire legislature undertook to alter the charter and
reorganize the corporation, and the state courts sustained the
legislature in a suit brought by the old trustees against the new.
On appeal to the supreme court of the United States in 1818,
Webster contended that the college was an eleemosynary corpo-
ration, over which the legislature had no more power than the
king who chartered it; that the king had no power to void such a
charter, and the New Hampshire legislature no such sovereign
powers as parliament; that the legislature's action came within
the federal constitution's prohibition of state legislation altering
contracts; that "the charter of 1769 is a contract;" that "the acts
in question impair this contract," and that they were therefore un-
constitutional and void.

The supreme court upheld Webster's view, and it was soon seen
that he had worked a serious change in the relations of the states ,
to corporations, as they had thus far been understood. The states
endeavored to meet the new rule by inserting in their charters
clauses retaining the right to alter them, but the spirit of the
"Dartmouth College case," which has always had its opponents
among American lawyers, has had its influence upon judges every-
where, in every variety of cognate cases. From this time Webster
was recognized as the leading lawyer of the country, and his ser-
vices were in constant demand.

His cases are quite beyond statement within the space here
available. Some of his leading constitutional cases were those of
Gibbons V. Ogden, in 1824, in which he overthrew the action of
the New York legislature, in granting to Ogden, assignee of Ful-
ton and Livingston, a monopoly of steam navigation in New York
waters, as an interference witn the right of Congress to regulate
commerce; Ogden v. Saunders, in 1827, in which he attacked the
right of a state to pass bankruptcy laws; the Girard College case,
in 1844, in which he maintained that Christianity was an essential
part of the common law, and the case of Luther v. Borden, com-
monly known as the Rhode Island case, in 1848, in which he laid
the foundation for the subsequent definition of the "guarantee
clause" of the constitution, and stated the meaning of the "repub-
lican government" of a state.

Like other American lawyers, he made no distinction in his
practice between kinds of cases, and was often retained in criminal
causes. The most celebrated of these were the trials of Goodrich
and Knapp; in the latter is the passage on the

science, which has been declaimed by countless American school
boys.

Webster's reputation as an orator began with his address at
Plymouth in 1S20, on the 200th anniversary of the landing of Ihe
Pilgrims. It was increased by his address at the laying of the
corner stone of the Bunker Hill monument in 1S25 on the 50th an-
niversary of the battle, and by that which commemorated in 1826
the 50th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence and the
coincident deaths of Jefferson and John Adams. On every great
public occasion thereafter, if Webster was obtainable he was held
to be the natural speaker to be chosen.

In December, 1S23, Webster returned to Congress as a repre-
sentative from Massachusetts, and his lirst speech, in January,
1824, in support of a resolution to send a commissioner to Greece,
then in insurrection, made him the first congressional speaker.
During his service in the house the tariff of 1S24 came up for dis-
cussion.

Representing a commercial district, Webster's speech has
always been a source of gratification to American opponents of
protection. He repudiated the name of "American system"
claimed by Clay for the system of protection which he was intro-
ducing.

When the tariff of 1S28, which was still more protective, came
up for discussion, Webster had ceased to oppose protection ; but
his sneech does not attempt to argue in favor of it. It can hardly
escape notice that in his published works Webster has but two'
subsequent speeches in Congress on the tariff, both defending pro-
tection rather as a policy under which industries had been called
into being than as an advisable policy, if the stage had been clear
for the adoption of a new policy.

In 1827, Webster was sent to the Senate, in which he remained
until his death, with the exception of his service in the cabinet in
Tyler's administration. In January, 1830, came the crowning
event of his political life. A debate on public lands under a reso-
lution offered by Senator Foot, thence known as "Foot's resolu-
tion," had wandered off into all possible fields. In course of it,
Hayne, of South Carolina, attacked New England for having pur-
sued a selfish policy as to western lands. Webster replied. During
Hayne's answer Webster drew from him the first distinct and
public statement of the new doctrine nullification of the consti-
tutional right of a state to forbid the execution within its jurisdic-
tion of acts of Congress which it considered unconstitutional. This
had been the product of Calhoun's intellect, which was generally
taken to be the source of Hayne's inspiration. Webster's reply
in his famous "second speech on Foot's resolution," he began
by a defense of Massachusetts, which has been severely criticised,
and is perhaps open to criticism.

The remainder of the speech was of intense interest, not
merely to New England, but to the whole north and west, and to
all the progressive elements of the country. He stated the an-
archistic doctrine of nullification in its nakedness, extorted from
Hayne an unwilling half admission of the exactness of his state-
ment, and then went on to trample on it with such an exhibition
of logic, sarcasm and elephantine humor as has never been heard
in the Senate before or since. It is on this speech that Webster's
tame was built.

Southern men had taken the lead so long that it was a new
sensation to the north and west to see a southern leader com-
pletely overmatched bv their champion; and "Black Dan Web-
ster," a popular name due to his dark complexion, beetling brows
and heavy cast of features, was for twenty years the representa-
tive of northern sentiment as to the nature of the Union.

Calhoun took Hayne's place in the Senate in 1833, introduced
and defended resolutions indorsing the right of nullification and
was still more fully answered bv Webster. For the next seventeen

years the records of the Senate are full of constitutional arguments
between the two. Webster's oratory made him an invaluable
member of the Whig party, and his addresses at political meetings
are so numerous as to defy special mention. A leader so distin-
guished had a fair right to think of the presidency, but it always
remained just beyond his reach. In the general Whig convention of
1836 he received the fourteen electoral votes of Massachusetts.
In 1840 the candidature of Harrison left him no chance. In 1844
Webster's retention of his position under Tyler gave Clay an over-
whelming advantage with his party. In 1848 the nomination of
Taylor, which Webster declared "one not fit to be made," was a
fatal blow to the prospects of the Massachusetts leader. His
final failure to obtain Whig nomination in 1852 put an end to his
political career.

When the Whig party came into power in 1841 Webster was
appointed secretary of state (foreign affairs) and he retained his
post under Tyler after his colleagues had broken with the new.
president and resigned. There was good reason for his action.
When he entered ofhce war with Great Britain was a probable
event of the near future. The McLeod case, in which the state
of New York insisted on trying a British subject, with whose
trial the Federal government had no power to interfere, while
the British government had declared that it would consider con-
viction and execution a casus belli ; the exercise of the right of
search by British vessels on the coast of Africa of which Ameri-
cans had a deep seated detestation, quite apart from any feeling
about the slave trade ; the Maine boundary, as to which the action
of a state might at any time bring the Federal government into
armed collision with Great Britain — all these at once met the new
secretary, and he felt that he had no right to abandon his work
for party reasons.

With the special commissioner from Great Britain, Lord Ash-
burton, he concluded the treaty of 1842, which settled all these
questions satisfactory to both parties.

At the same time Webster took the opportunity to end the
long controversy as to the right of impressment. Sixteen years
afterward the British government admitted at last the correctness
of the American position. Leaving the cabinet in 1843 Webster
was returned to the Senate in 1845, and spent the remainder of
his life there. He opposed the annexation of Texas and the
Mexican war, and was, as before, the recognized spokesman of his
party.

As the growing intensity of the quarrel over the organization of
the territory acquired from Mexico revealed the depth of the
chasm which now yawned between the sections, Webster's stand-
ing ground in American politics disappeared. His speech of
March 7, 1850, which stamped him in the opinion of many of his
former northern worshipers as a recreant bidding for southern
votes for the presidency, was really little different from his former
words. It was the country that had changed. He was still for
the Union as the one controlling consideration, with an equal dis-
like for the abolitionist and the secessionist, who endangered the
Union. Bat the north and the south were already so far apart
that not even Webster could stand with one foot in one and the
other foot in the other section, and his fate was parallel with that
of John Dickinson, who essayed a similar role during the Revolu-
tion.

Angered at the spirit with which his speech was received Web-
ster threw all his influence toward driving through the Whig con-
vention of 1852 an indorsement of the compromise of 1850 "in all
its parts," including, of course, the Fugitive Slave Act.

The result was his own failure to receive the Whig nomination
for the presidency and the downfall of his party. Just before
the election he died at his home, Marshfield, Mass., October, 1852.
Webster was twice married to Grace Fletcher, of New Hampshire,

in 1808, and two years after her death to Catherine Bayard le
Roy, of New York, in 1829.

One of his, sons, Edward, lost his life in the Mexican war. His
only surviving child, Fletcher Webster, colonel of a Massachusetts
regiment, was killed at Bull Run.

When about 20 years of age or thereabouts he enlisted in the Colonial militia and
served in many of the engagements with the Indians about 1694. The previous
year the Indians had signed articles of "submission and agreement" at Pemaquid.
For a year the people had a respite from hostilities. But the next blow inflicted in
the vicinity of Hampton was of great severity. On a summer morning, about day-
break, a large number of Indians fell suddenly and unexpected upon the settle-
ments at Oyster River; took three garrisons, burned thirteen houses and killed and
carried into captivity ninety-four persons. Other outrages followed. Less than
two years after the treaty a body of Indians made an attack at Portsmouth
Plains, two miles from Hampton. They had come from York to Sandy Beach in
their canoes, which they secreted in the bushes near the shore. Fourteen persons
were killed, one was scalped and left for dead, but recovered. The houses, five in
number, were burned. The Indians escaped. It was in these engagements and
similar ones that Stephen Batchelder participated. He d. Sept. 19, 1748; res. Hamp-

1 781. He settled on the homestead at Hampton Falls and later moved to Chichester.
Her grandfather was Dea. Francis Page, who had m. Meribah Smith. He was son
of Dea. Robert Page and Lucy and grandson of Robert and Margaret of Armsby,
Norfolk Co., England. May 20, 1727. the charter of Chichester was granted to
sundry persons, partly, at least, of Hampton, whose names do not now appear.
The conditions were that the proprietors, within three years, build sixty houses,
clear three acres of ground, settle families there and pay the town charges. A
meeting house was to be built within four years, and some minor stipulations were
made. Some time after the three years had expired, on May 5. 1731, Joseph Towle,
Thomas Marston, and more than ninety others, inhabitants of Hampton, petitioned

BATCHELDER GENEALOGY. 133

the legislature for a grant of waste land for a township, somewhere in the province,
suggesting that Chichester had been originally intended for Hampton, but that its
charter had been forfeited by a neglect to comply with its provisions; and that, on
account of the loss of that township they were now entitled to favor. The pro-
prietors stated that, having met with more trouble and greater difficulty in running
boundaries and clearing the way to said township than they had anticipated, they
had not been able fully to comply with the conditions of the charter, and asked for
more time, and one year was granted. He d. Oct. g, 1759; res. Hampton, Hampton

1754, in Stratham, son of Chase Taylor. He began his career as
a Revolutionary soldier in April, 1775. After that campaign he
joined the first company of Major Whitcomb's rangers, which was
stationed at Ticonderoga in 1777. It was known that Gen. Bur-
goyne had armed in Canada and would probably attempt a junc-
tion with the British army in New York. On June 16th Lieut.
Taylor, with twelve men under his command, was sent out to

BATCHELDER GENEALOGY. 141

reconnoitre. Was ordered to an elevated point fifteen miles
down Lake Champlain, whence a view of it for twenty miles
further could be obtamed. No approach of the enemy being dis-
covered, he started to return the next day, as directed, but at ii
o'clock fell into an ambuscade of sixty or one hundred Indians,
near a creek, since called Taylor's Creek. The savages feeling
sure of their victims, greeted them familiarly with "How d'ye do,
brothers?" but Lieut. Taylor, with remarkable coolness, prompt-
ness and self-possession, gave the order to "Fire!" Recoiling at
first, they soon after rallied. The fight became general. Three
of Taylor's men fell mortally wounded, himself receiving what he
supposed would prove a fatal shot in the shoulder. Ordering his
men, therefore, to escape, to sell their lives as dearly as possible,
and if any reached the fort to announce "All's well upon the
lake!" he crept, faint and bleeding into the top of a large hemlock
tree, which had lately fallen. Meanwhile the Indians, as a body,
had also retreated, perhaps concluding from the boldness of their
defense, that a re-inforcement was near at hand. Some of the
s.ivages, however, rushing back for scalps or spoils, stood upon
and passed over the trunk of the very tree under the top of which
young Taylor was lying in breathless suspense. Late in the day,
perceiving no further tokens of their proximity, he found his way,
with great difficulty from loss of blood, back to the fort, arriving
"just as the sunset gun was fired." He received the warmest
commendation from Gen. St. Cla,ir, while Capt. Hutchins, who
had been sent out with one hundred men to "protect the scouting
party" and had heard their guns without pressing forward to their
relief, was promptly cashiered for his cowardice and his command
given to another. On account of his wound, the ball having en-
tered near the collar bone and passed out below the shoulder
blade Lieut. Taylor was unable to resume duty for several
months, and not till after the unfortunate surrender at Ticonderoga,
and the brilliant succession of events which followed. He con-
tinued in the army till near the close of the war, when, on account
of ill health, he was obliged to resign and go to his home in San-
bornton. He was appointed Justice of the Peace, was Division
Inspector of the militia, was representative in the legislature for
§everal j'ears, was a member of the Council and of the Senate.
After the death of his first wife he married again. Ch. by first

169. CORP. NATHANIEL BATCHELDER (Stephen, Stephen. Nathaniel,
Nathaniel, Stephen), b. No. Hampton, N. H., June g, 1732; m. Mary Longfellow;
she was b. 1735 ; d. 18 14; was a niece of Gen. Joseph Longfellow and sister of Sally
Longfellow, the wife of Gen. Joseph Cilley, both officers in the Revolutionary
Army from N. H.

Nathaniel was one of the first settlers in that part of Nottingham (N. H.), now
Deerfield, and lived in that section called the Parade, not far from the Garrison
house built by his father-in-law, Jonathan Longfellow, who was the first to settle
there, and built the garrison about 1740, which remained standing till after the
Revolution, when it was torn down by Simon Marston, who bought the farm of Mr.
Longfellow in 1765, when he left the town and moved to Nova Scotia, but soon re-
turned and settled at Machias, Me.

Mr. Longfellow is said to have paid for the place with slaves; at any rate, it is
well authenticated that he owned slaves and gave some to his daughters, Mrs. Cilley
and Mrs. Batchelder, who were the only members of his family who did not move to
Nova Sc3tia.

The descendants of Simon Marston still own the place, and keep as a choice
historical relic an iron ring which was fastened to a post in the garrison, to which it
is said Mr. Longfellow was accustomed to tie his slaves when it was necessary to
punish them. When Mr. Marston tore down the old garrison he took this ring and
fastened it to a post in his barn, where it now is.

This garrison is described by those who saw it as the first house built in the
town. Jt was very long and wide, but very low, containing three large rooms and
two smaller sleeping rooms; it was of hewn timbers and the rooms were ceiled at
the top and sides, except the kitchen. During the Indian raids it had a stockade of
timber enclosing a large yard; a lookout was placed upon the top of the house for
the purpose of firing upon the Indians; the gate of the stockade was fastened on the
inside by a heavy iron bar. The neighbormg settlers were accustomed to gather
here for safety in times of danger from the Indians.

One of the traditions is that Nathaniel Batchelder and his wife and two chil-
dren, one of whom was Senator Morrill's grandmother, were obliged to flee to her
father's garrison house under the following circumstances: One night in midwinter,
while the husband and children were sleeping and the wife was knitting by the
bright firelight, she heard a noise in front of the house; she hastily covered the fire
and awakened her husband. It soon became apparent that Indians were at the
front door. Knowing that it would be folly to attempt to defend their home, they
took the children, and a gun, and made their way from the back of the house to the
forest, through which thev fled to the garrison house. When they reached there
she was so overcome with fatigue and cold that she fainted at the door. They nar-
rowly escaped death, as the Indians burnea the house soon after the inmates
escaped.

Feb. 23, 1756, a petition, headed bj^ Jonathan Longfellow, and signed by twenty-
four others, among whom was Nathaniel Batchelder, was presented to Gov. Went-
worth, requesting him to set oflf the "Sow west pa'-t of Nottingham" as a new town;
it had been set off as a parish in 1750; but the Governor did not grant this request
till June 17, 1765, when the sentiment for division became so strong that the people
in the other part of the town consented to it, and probably the Governor was paid a
good sum for his signature to the order establishing the new town, for he was not
accustomed to do such acts gratuitously. Moreover, Batchelder killed a nice, fat
deer and presented it to Gov. Wentworth while the negotiations were going on ;
this circumstance is said to have been the cause of naming the new town "Deer-
field." the Governor was so pleased with his present.

For some time previous to the fight at Lexington and Concord, the people of
Nottingham and Deerfield were accustomed to meet from time to time at Notting-

BATCHELDER GENEALOGY. 153

ham Square for drill in military tactics. The square is about three miles from the
Deerfield Parade ; the former was the home of the Cilleys and Henry Dearborn,
then a young doctor there, the Bartletts dnd the Butlers. Dearborn was captain of
the company and Nathaniel Batchelder was a member of it. When news of the
fight on the 19th of April, 1775, reached Nottingham, as it did in the afternoon of
that day, this company of patriots speedily rendezvoused at the Square, and at
early twilight started for Massachusetts, arriving at Medford by sunrise the next
morning, April 20, having traveled with their guns and equipments a distance of
50 miles in 12 hours. Every man was on foot, and reported ready for duty if there
was any fighting to be done. Other companies got there in quick time, but the
Nottingham company beat the record for fast marching.

Captain Dearborn's company was on the right of Col. Stark's regiment at the
battle of Bunker Hill, and Nathaniel Batchelder, who was a tall, black haired, black
eyed man, was at or near the head of the company. They were behind the rail
fence which was covered with the new mown grass; Captain Dearborn's men were
intent on cutting down the officers in the British line. When any of them discov-
ered oae he would instantly exclaim; "There, see that officer! let us have a shot at
himl" Then two or three would fire at the same moment and the officer was sure
to fall.

During the battle an officer was discovered to mount near the position of Gen.
Howe, on the left of the British line, immediately in front of Dearborn's company;
he rode toward the left of Col. Stark's regiment; the men said: "There, there !
see that officer on horseback; let us fire!" The commander, Col. Stark, said: "No,
not yet; wait until he gets to that knoll — now!" when they fired, and he instantly
fell dead from his horse. It proved to be Major Pitcairn, the distinguished British
officer. Nathaniel Batchelder was one of the men who fired when Pitcairn fell; it
may have been his bullet that killed him.

Nathaniel Batchelder's children were tall, well proportioned and handsome,
especially the daughters, with black hair and black eyes, according to the traditions
of the family. The daughters were the belles of the town, most estimable women,
and very fond of dancing.

He was a resident of Deerfield, N. H., and at the breaking out of the Revolu-
tionary War enlisted with his sons in the Continental Army. He was killed, with
his son, Stephen, in the Battle of Bennington.

Nathaniel Batchelder was in Capt. Henry Deaborn's company in Col. John
Stark's regiment in August, 1775, at Bunker Hill.

Nathaniel Batchelder was a soldier in Capt. Levi Spaulding's company in
April. 1775.

Nathaniel Batchelder was a soldier in Capt. Norris' company from June 15,
1775. He was a farmer, was born in 1730, and resided in Deerfield. Later he en-
listed in Col. McClary's regiment for three years. Later was a corporal in Capt.
Daniel Gordon's company m Col. Gilman's regiment, to re-inforce the Continental
Armv in New York in 1778.

Nathaniel Batchelder married Mary Longfellow, who was daughter of Jonathan
Longfellow, and his wife Mary Clark, who was son of Nathan Longfellow and his
wife Mary Greene, who was son of William Longfellow and his wife Ann Sewall,
sister of the distinguished Judge Samuel Sewall, who hung several witches at
Salem, Mass. William Longfellow was the immigrant from England, where he
was born in 1657 and came to this country about 1677. His ancestors there have
been traced back to 1490.

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, the poet, was third cousin to Mrs. Capt. Scales,
he being son of Stephen, who was son of Stephen, who was son of Stephen, who was
son of Stephen, who was son of William Longfellow, the immigrant.

Nathaniel Batchelder was a soldier in the Revolution ; he fought at the battle
of Bunker Hill in Capt. (afterwards General) Henry Dearborn's company. Col.
Stark's regiment, stationed at the rail fence. He served in other campaigns, end-
ing with the battle of Bennington, in August, 1777, where he died. His son Ste-
phen also was in the same company with the father and gave up his life at Ben-
nington.

From Granite Monthly, Vol. 2, p. 206: "Nathaniel Batchelder, who was a
brother-in-law of Col. Cilley (Joseph of Nottingham) fought in the battle of Bunker
Hill, under Capt. Dearborn and was Adjutant in Col. Drake's regiment, which did
brave service in the battle of Stillwater, Saratoga, and the surrender of Burgoyne.
He died of fever at Valley Forge, March 18, 1778."

After her husband's death Mrs. Nathaniel Batchelder always resided with Mrs.

war he moved to Plainfield, Vt. , and was one of the first settlers there. He began his
clearing in the southwest corner of the town in I7(j2, and moved his family perma-

Congregational church was organized. In 1792 he made his pitch for land, that is

there until he was of age. Soon after marriage he located in Plainfield, Vt. , where
his three sons always resided. He was a farmer all his life. He was early a mem-
ber of the Congregational church, but in 1802, becoming dissatisfied, joined the
Methodists, with a number of his neighbors. The following resolution was passed
by the parent church, as they thought he was surely being led astray; "Whereas
our brother, Moulton Batchelder, has violated his solemn covenant obligations by
neglecting the stated meetings of the church on the Sabbath and at other times,
and going after, as we think, false teachers, and embracing dangerous errors and
sentiments, derogatory to the character of an infinitely wise and holy God, we now,
under the pressing obligation of duty we owe to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ,
have undertaken this painful and bitter labor, and we hope in faithfulness and
prayer, but without success. Therefore, according to the rule of Christ's family,
we are under the painful necessity of saying unto you, and that in this public
manner, that for these reasons, the door of our fellowship and communion is closed
against you, and you are no longer to be considered of this church and body; but as
an unprofitable branch, and therefore are now severed from this body. It is our
humble prayer that God will bless this our unpleasant, but plain duty to you, and
open your understanding that you may see your error, and give you repentance
that you may enjoy his favor at last, and be gathered with all of the redeemed from
among men, to inhabit the new Jerusalem, where Jesus Christ is the joy and the
light thereof." He d. Oct. 8. 1827; res. Plainfield, Vt.

children, and he was kept at home to assist his widowed mother
in carrying on the farm, while the other children were placed else-
where. He was a well-to-do, enterprising, hardworking farmer,
and made himself famous as the knight of the sycle and scythe',
and in later years quite a grower and dealer in cranberries. Also
in winter in the manufacture of ship pins, having quite a large
trade with the ship builders of fifty years ago. By honest, in-
dustrious and temperate habits he accumulated a fair fortune to
care for himself in his old age. Now past 91 years. He is now liv-

usual benefits of the pub-
lie schools, and by his
personal efforts was en-
abled to pursue a higher
education at Mt. Hollis
Seminary, thus fitting
himself for active mer-
cantile life, which he
commenced at the age of
18, with good success.
In 1856 he married Ada
M. Perry, a successful
teacher in the public
schools, and had two
sons and two daughters.
Mr. Fiske pursued the
study of engraving and
printing of bank notes,
and being skilled in the
art, he was engaged in
teaching and instructing
the bankers and business
men of the cities and
towns of New England
in the art of detecting
counterfeit and altered
bank notes at sight. Mr.
Fiske has been a mem-
ber of the Congrega-
tional Church for many
years, and served on all
of its official boards with satisfaction and esteem. In politics Mr.
Fiske has always been a Republican, and deeply interested in
good government in all things. Early in life was a strong advo-
cate of the largest liberty of speech and action to promote the best
results. A strong friend and admirer of Abraham Lincoln for
President ; he was appointed as postmaster, and served two terms,
and was elected by the town as treasurer and collector, serving
seven years, with a grand record. As his town recognized good
abilities, they elected him as town clerk, and he served them as such
for fifteen years, many times receiving a unanimous vote. Mr.
Fiske was elected a Representative from this district to the gen-
eral court, 1880, redeeming the district from his political oppo-
nents, and was re-elected the next year by an increased majority.

when he served both years as clerk of important committees, also
using his knowledge of the business of insurance (which he had
acquired from many years of actual practice) in improving the
insurance laws of the State and enacting and establishing a long
needed uniform policy of insurance for all companies doing busi-
ness in this State. Mr. Fiske has been a member of the school
board for inany years, and served as clerk. Also a member of
the HoUiston, Medway and Millis School Union for the employ-
ment and supervision of it; superintendent of the schools in said
towns, he having been one of the promoters of this e.xcellant plan
of providing a better system of graded schools for the small towns.
During the spare hours of Mr. Fiske's busy life he introduced the
business of knitting by machinery in a small way, which grew to
large proportions, employing at times sixty hands in manufactur-
ing seamless hosiery (the first in this Slate), knitted goods, a,nd a
specialty of infants' underwear, all of which found ready and
profitable sales. HoUiston being an enterprising and progressive

BATCHELDER GENEALOGY. 173

Abigail Drake, dau. of Samuel, b. Sept. 24, 1784; d. Jan. 17, 1872. Moses
Batchelder was born on the old Batchelder homestead and lived to an age of 79 yr.
6 mo. He prospered on the old farm, and, in 1837, erected a new, substantial house.
In 1830 he built a saw mill. In 1832, Moses joined the first temperance society in
the town. Ever after he was strictly temperate. He represented the town in the
state legislature, and was always an active, public-spirited man. Moses' father,
David, grandfather, Josiah, great grandfather, Nathaniel, were deacons of church.
Reuben, Moses' brother, became deacon. John and Emery, the sons of Reuben,
became deacon, and Warren, son of John, and David, son of Emery, are now
deacons, thus making six generations of deacons by Batchelder name in the town.
About 1824, Moses, and other prominent leaders of the Congregational church,
which had become partly Unitarian, joined themselves to the. orthodox society of
Seabrook. Four men, Moses Batchelder, Reuben Batchelder, Dr. Edwin Dearborn
and Col. Jacob Noyes. built a new church, which was strictly Congregational. The
church still stands and prospers. When Moses died, it was said of him that an
honest man had been laid in the grave. He lived an honest, upright life, and his
memory is dear to his descendants. His wife, Abigail Drake, was a direct descendant
of Sir Francis Drake. His grandmother, Mary Emory, of West Newbury, Mass.,
was closely related to the first wife of Hon. Hannibal Hamlin. He d. July 11, 1861;

BATCHELDER GENEALOGY.

MRS. SALLY BATCHELDER.

(Aged 104.)

teen children, several of whom lived to
be over go years of age. Her maiden
name was Sally Ring, and when 27
years old she married Andrew Batchel-
der, of Loudon, N. H. Four children
blessed the union, of whom Col. Cyrus
T. Batchelder, with whom she liv-es, and
Samuel D. Batchelder of Concord, N. H.,
survive. Her husband died in 1852. In
1857 she removed with her son, Cyrus,
to Lawrence, and one year later to
Salem. After a residence of eighteen
months in Salem they returned to Law-
rence, where they remained until 1868,
when they came to this town and have
made their home here since. Her father
died when he was 90 years old, two of
her sisters lived to be 93, while twin
brothers lived to be the age of 84 and 88.
Mrs. Batchelder is a remarkably well
preserved woman. She is an early riser,
and takes her meals regularly with the
family. She goes up and down stairs
without assistance, dresses and undresses herself, and whenever the weather is
pleasant takes walks outdoors. She takes a deep interest in current events and
takes much pleasure in rehearsing scenes and incidents during any part of the pres-
ent century. She remembers distinctly the day when George Washington died,
Dec. 14, 1799. With the exception of impaired hearing, she retains all of her
faculties to a remarkable degree. She has always enjoyed good health, and in her
younger life v.'as very strong. She lived on a farm, and, in addition to regular
household duties, took care of a large dairy. Her face is plump, and marked with
but few wrinkles. She is of short stature, but her form is erect and her step
elastic. She is a devout Methodist, and up to a few years ago attended services
regularly. Her last visit to Concord, N. H., was in 1885, and, although 91 years
old, stood the journey without serious fatigue. She has five grandchildren and
six great-grandchildren. Andrew Batchelder was born at Hampton, N. H. His
parents removed to Loudon, N. H., when he was quite young. He was married
at Loudon to Sarah Ring, bought a farm and became a successful farmer. The
results of this union were four children and a long and happy life. He d. at Loudon,
loved and respected by all who knew him. He d. Feb. 16, 1852; res. Loudon, N. H.

Franklin's boyhood was
spent in Bath and Lew-
iston, and his love for
sculpture was early de-
veloped. Having a fa-
cility for portraiture, he
made his first attempts
m that line. During the
last two years of the
Civil war he was in
Washington, where the
members of the cabinet
and officers of the army
and navy sat to him for
life-size medallions.
They were cast in bronze and most of them were purchased by the
Union League of Philadelphia. In 1868 he went to Rome, Italy,
where he has since resided. He visited his native land in 1888.
His more important works are the statues of Roger Williams, in
\ Washington and Providence ; William King, for the State of
Maine; Oliver P. Morton, in Indianapolis; Henry W. Longfellow
(1887), in Portland; "Medusa" (1882); "Jochebed with the Infant
Moses" ; "Grief and History," the group that surmounts the naval
monument at Washington; "Galatea" (1SS4) ; "Penelope"; "Mir-
iam"; "Washington at Valley Forge" ; and "The Seraph Abdiel,"
from "Paradise Lost" (1886). Among his protrait busts are those
of Abraham Lincoln, William T. Sherman, David D. Porter,
James G. Blaine, Francis Wayland, and Ulysses S. Grant (1886).

lin Butler, b. in Deerfield,
N. H., graduated at Water-
ville university, Maine, 1838;
admitted to the bar in 1S40.
He was in those days a
democrat and was elected to
the Massachusetts legisla-
ture in 1853 and to the State
senate in 1859. He prac-
ticed law in Lowell, Mass.,
and became prominent in
his profession. Previous to
the Civil war he was twice
a candidate for governorship
of Massachusetts. He was
a delegate to the National
Democratic Convention,
held in Charleston, S. C, in
i860, and took part in the
proceedings of the ad-
journed convention, held m
Baltimore, as there was a second secession of the Southerners on
account of the admission of the Douglas delegates to the vacant
seats, when he retired. At the beginning of the Civil war he was
appointed brigadier-general of the State militia, and on April 17
marched to Annapolis, Md., with the 8th regiment, to command
the district of Annapolis, including Baltimore, which city he en-
tered on May 13, 1861, at the head of 900 men, and occupied with-
out opposition. On May 16, 1861, he was appointed major-general
of volunteers and given command of the department of Eastern
Virginia, with headquarters at Fortress Monroe. While he was
here some runawaj^ slaves took refuge in his lines and he refused
to deliver them to their masters, saying that they were contraband
of war. This was the origin of the term "contraband," as applied
to negroes.

General Butler captured Fort Clark and Fort Hatteras in August,
1S61. In March, 1S62, he led an expedition to the Gulf of Mexico.
After Farragut's capture of New Orleans, Butler commanded
there from ^Iay to December, and administered affairs with great
vigor. He preserved order and public health, and armed the free
colored men. Resentment was caused by his hanging William
Mumford for hauling down the United States flag from the mint
and by the issue of "Order No. 28," his famous "woman order."
Jefferson Davis, in December, 1S62, issued a proclamation declar-
ing him to be an outlaw. While in New Orleans he seized $Soo,ooo
which had been deposited in the ofhce of the Dutch consul, claim-
ing that it was intended to buy arms for the confederates with
this money; but the government ordered him to return it. On
Dec. 16, 1862, he was recalled, but in 1S63 was placed in command
of Virginia and North Carolina, his troops being afterward known
as the Army of the James. He formed a plan to capture Rich-
mond by operations from the south side of the James, intending

to co-operate with the Army of the Potomac from the north, but
he was checked by General Beauregard, and many of his troops
were transferred to the Army of the Potomac.

In October, 1S64, he was in New York suppressing the anti-
draft riots and afterward was sent to Fort Fisher, North Carolina,
He was removed from command by General Grant, and returned
to Massachusetts. In r866 he was elected to Congress as a Repub-
lican, and served until 1879, with the exception of the year 1S75-6.
He took an activ-e interest in the reconstruction of the Southern
States, and also in the impeachment of President Johnson. He
was the unsuccessful Republican nominee for governor of ^ilassa-
chusetts in t>7i, and in 1878 and 1879 was agam defeated for the
same office on the ticket of the Greenback party and of an inde-
pendent Democratic wing. In 1882 he was elected by the Demo-
crats, but was defeated in 1S83. In 1S84 he ran as the Greenback-
Labor candidate for President. He died January 11, 1893. Ch. :

BATCHELDER GENEALOGY. 19:3

grateful country for many years an annual stipend of $66.66. He was one of the
original members of the Congregational Church and chosen Deacon in 1817, which
office he held until his death. He was a good man and highly respected. His
funeral sermon, preached at North wood, N. H., March 12, 1847, by Rev. Elliot C.
Cogswell, pastor of the Congregational Church, was published m 1S47; Svo. 12
pps.

It is said of him on hearing that hostilities had commenced with a neighbor of
his, Benjamin Johnson, seized their arms and marched at once towards Boston.
Marching all day ana the following night, they reached the scene of action the next
morning.

Simon Batchelder, of Northwood, was born there in 175S. He was a farmer
and enlisted in Capt. Winborn Adams' company June 21, 1775. The following year
he was in the company commanded by Capt. Joseph Chadler, and part of the time
was Corporal; served in Gen. Poor's regiment.

The editor of the N. E. Hist, and Gen. Register in 1S53, said: "The writer re-
members to have seen him (Davis) about 1812. He also remembers well his ex-
cellent son (Dea. Simon), the occasion of the funeral sermon, who was truly one of
the best men that it has ever been his happiness to know. His manner and bearing
to young men and boys was of a character to cause them to love and respect him.
Many days have been passed by the writer in his company, in which he has heard
him recount his expediiions, perils and privations m the Revolutionary Army."

"Deacon Batchelder's residence was a little south of the turnpike, some half a
mile from the well known residence of the late Jonathan Clarke, Esq. He was a
farmer of the first class, for the time and place. Situated in a delightful valley, his
farm in the summer and autumnal months was a perfect paradise. Everything
without, as well as within the buildings, was an index to the minds of the pro-
prietors, neatness and order striking the eye at every point. Such are a few recol-
lections of a most honored and honorable man, and it is a source of regret that the
space here allotted will not allow of more full justice to his memory." He d. March

1832, near Columbus, Ohio. James Locke Batchelder, son of Jeremiah San-
born Batchelder and of Sarah Fletcher, his wife, was born in Newburyport,
Mass., July 19, 1816. His parents having moved to Salem, Mass., when he was
about five years old, his primary education was in the public schools of that
city. He was there engaged in mechanical employment until 1836, when, having
prepared himself as best he could — a poor boy — in the requisite preliminary studies,
he entered Amherst College of his native State, in the fall of 1836. He was gradu-
ated with the degree of A. B. in 1840 (and, some two or three years subsequently.

received that of A. M.). Intending to engage as a teacher in the extreme South —
school year there commencing in January — immediately upon his graduation he took
charge, as principal, of the Townshend Female Academy at Townshend, Vermont,
for the balance of the year, when he went to Livingston, Sumpter County, Alabama,
where he established an English and Classical School, in which he was engaged
until the spring of 1S44, when, his health failing, he left, with his wife — Rebecca
Darington Bradford, whom he had married in Livingston, and with two slaves.

which she had inherited, for Cincinnati, Ohio, where they were given their freedom.
He organized a high school for colored children in that cit3\ He there united with
Dr. Wm. H. Brisbane, formerly of South Carolina, who had emancipated some 30
slaves, in the weekly issue of a print entitled the "Christian Politician," and wrote
an "Address to Southern Baptists" on behalf of an "Anti-Slavery Convention" in
Cincinnati, which was published in said perioiical. He was licensed to "preach"

by the Amherst Baptist Church about this time, and supplied, for a season, an Anti-
Slavery Baptist Church in Cincinnati with written sermons, and subsequently then
occupied pulpits in Ohio, where he sojourned, in the vicinity of Cin., particularly in
La Crosse, Wis., and Chicago, as occasion called. But, deeming he was better
adapted to the communication of his thoughts and sentiments through the
press, than through attempted extemporaneous speech, he declined to be for-
mally ordained to the ministerial profession, though frequently urged to be thus
devoted. From 1844 to 1847 he became the principal of an English and Clas-
sical School in Lebanon, Ohio, and the principal of the Female Academy in adjacent
town of Hamilton, Butler Co., Ohio, until the spring of 1847, when, having pur-
chased one-half interest in the Baptist "Journal" at Columbus, O., thither he re-
moved. June 30, 1848, his first wife died in Columbus. In 1849 he became sole
proprietor of said paper, purchased the Baptist "Messenger" of Indianapolis, united
the two with the joint name of ' 'Journal and Messenger, ' ' and removed with the same
to Cincinnati, Ohio. April 22, 1850, he married Margaret P. Cloud of Columbus,
his present wife. He there published a pamphlet of some 50 or 60 pages,
entitled "The U. S., the West, and Ohio as Missionary Fields." In 1856, his health
failing, he sold the "Journal and Messenger" and removed to La Crosse, Wis., for
recuperation. In 1S5S-9 he became associate-editor for a limited period of the "Am.
Baptist," X. Y. City. In 1S62 he purchased one-third {J^) interest in the "Daily
Journal" of Lafayette, Ind., when, its materiality having been utterly destroyed
in 1863 by fire, he sold his remaining interest therein, and removed to Chicago in
1863-4 and bought a book manufacturing establishment, which was entirely destroyed
in the Great Fire of 1S71. He had published a small book on the "Genius of Ed-
mund Burke" and an essay on "Societism, and the Instrumentality of Individuals
and Churches in the World's Evangelization," both plates and the books in print
being destroyed in that "Great Fire." In 1884 he published an octavo of 380 pages
— "The Light of Life" ; in 1887 an octavo of 446 pages — "The Christ in Life." He
now has a manuscript for an octavo volume — "Edmund Burke — A Study and a
Text," and for a pamphlet of some 60 pages entitled "Pernicious Attorneyism
Under Anglo-American Judicature." These will be published when the time is
propitious. He ha? had nine children, of whom four only are alive. Res. Ravens-

till 19 j-ears of age, when he went to Chicago and entered a whole-
sale paper house, where he remained for eleven years. He went to
Omaha in 1887 and organized the Carpenter Paper Company, being
its president, an establishment doing business in a greater portion
of the Trans-Mississippi country. Owing to ill health, j\Ir. Car-
penter sought to resign his directorship in the exposition which
was held in Omaha last spring, as he was going to the coast for
an indefinite period, but the board gave him a leave of absence
instead, and between times, while not looking for health in Cali-
fornia, he did much good work in that State for the Exposition,
for which he received a vote of thanks from his co-laborers on
the board. Ch. : Linnie ^I. Carpenter, Olive Ruth Carpenter,

hours, constituted the entire foundation for his future business career. Mr. B.
made a public profession of religion in 1858, during the ministry of Rev. J. T.
Tucker of Chicopee Falls, and had since maintained a consistent Christian character.
He was slow in forming his opinions, not forward in the expression of his views,
firm in his convictions of right, and unswerving in his integrity. In his intercourse
with his fellow men he was conciliatory in his demeanor, always counseling a peace-
able settlement of all difficulties, and rarely, if ever, referring matters to the courts
for settlement. He retired from business in 1874, having witnessed, during his
long business career, many changes in that branch of industry. He commenced by
going to Boston with his wagon, taking his shoes with him and occupying two days
in the journey. His trade was mostly at the south and west. He kept himself well
informed on business matters and the general topics of the day, being a great
reader. The last active duty which he performed was to visit the bank on
business, his disease chronic cystitis, baffling the skill of eminent medical treat-
ment. Of the six children born to Mr. and Mrs. Batchelder but one is now living,
namely, Mrs. S. S. Nichols, of this town • four grandchildren also surviving him. Mr.
B. has held the various town offices, represented the town in General Court, and for
the past twenty-two years had held the office of president of Holliston bank for a
term of years, previously being a Director of the Milford National Bank, and by
his uniform courtesy and urbanity won the affection and esteem of all with whom
he came in contact. His success in the battle of life was due in a great measure to
the assistance of his devoted and faithful wife, who was possessed of a remarkable
executive ability, and his wealth has been estimated at $200,000. To those just
starting in life such a career exhibits with great clearness the necessities of possess-
ing honor and integrity in business, economy, industry and perseverance in every
event of life, and a fixed Christian principle in all that we do. He d. Jan. 25, 1876;

removed with his parents in childhood to Andover, N. H., receiving a scanty com-
mon school education, and at the age of eighteen years leaving his father's house
and walking to Holliston, Mass., where he learned the trade of shoemaking of his
elder brother, William, who had preceded him four years previously. In 1828 he
built the homestead, married Emeline Mason, of Medway, and soon settled down to
the business he followed so successfully for sixty years amid all its vicissitudes, until
ill health compelled his retirement in 1889, establishing a reputation for honest
work and integrity of character second to none of his contemporaries. At this
early beginning almost the only machinery used was the "Lapstone." The shoe
pegs were made by hand, often by the apprentices after the day's work was over for
the next day's supply.

No railroads being in existence, transportation was furnished by horse and
wagon borrowed of some kindly disposed farmer carting the goods to market and
returning supplies of leather for future use. His leisure time was devoted to read-
ing and study, which, with his limited instruction in youth, laid the foundation for
his long life of usefulness. Painfully familiar in early life with the evils of intem-
perance, he became the lite-long enemy of the drink habit.

He was the foe of shams, a leader in many of the reforms of the day, with ideas
rather in advance of his associates. He was a man of great benevolence, often seek-
ing to conceal his identity in matters of helping the needy. He was essentially the
friend of the poor. In religious belief he was a Congregationalist, becoming a mem-
ber of that church with his wife the year of their marriage. In politics a Republi-
can, but never a seeker aftei office. His wife dying in 1883 he married in 1885 Mrs.
Jplia A. (Batchelder) Collins, daughter of John Morrill Batchelder, of Kingstown,

upon the great work which from that place, and later from Midnapore, as a center,
he has continued, with but short seasons of rest in America, to the present time.

years of devoted effort in the boarding school, Mrs. Bacheler was prostrated by dis-

25, 181 7: m. Blackstone, Mass., May 13, 1840, Clarissa Holbrook; b. Bellingham,
Mass., April 20, 1816; d. Jan, 8, 1881; m. 2d, — . Tappan Hilton Batch-
elder, son of r>lathan Batchelder, was born at Bridgewater, N. H. While he was
quite young his father moved to New Hampton. From the time he was nine years
old till about sixteen years of age he lived most of the time from home. At about
that time his father removed to Holliston, Mass., and he accompanied him. He
was now brought under an entirely new set of influences. The early temperance
reformation was then exciting interest ; he became interested and took the pledge.
A revival of religion also soon after occurred, m connection with the labors of the
Methodists, and during its progress he embraced Christianity and became connected
with that people. He was soon after appointed a class leader, it was not long till
the subject of the ministry began to occupy his thoughts. Beside the reluctance of
his own mind friends opposed the idea of his entering the ministry, but his convic-
tions of duty increased until he decided to yield to them, and become a preacher.
An exhorter's license was offered him, but his sentiments on the subject of baptism
forbade him to think of becoming an administrator in the Methodist church. Ac-
cordingly he changed his ecclesiastical relations and joined the Free Will Baptist
church at W^aterfOrd, Mass., then under the charge of M. W. Burlingame. He
now received license to preach, and was invited to labor with the Free Will Baptist
church in Grafton, Mass. In 1840 he received a call to preach for the Second Free
Will Baptist church, of Smithfield, at Georgiaville, R. I., whither he and his wife
removed in the same year. He remained here two and one-half years, and was
ordained in October, 1841. Upon leaving Georgiaville he became pastor of the
church in Pawtucket, R. I., here he remained three and one-half years. He re-
ceived a call to the Free Will Baptist church, Taunton, Mass., whither he removed
his family January, 1846; here he remained till April, 1855, when he removed his
family to Clinton Co., la. ; here he remained till the spring of 1865, preaching as he
had opportunity. In the spring of 1865 he removed his family to Jones Co. , la.,
having bought a farm there. He here became pastor of the Free Will Baptist
church of Clay, Jones Co., la., for some time. In the fall of 1869 he removed to
Welton, Clinton Co., la., preaching for the church there. Here he remained three
years, he then returned to Jones Co. In the fall of 1S76, having sold his farm in
Jones Co. and bought again in Linn Co., la., he with his family removed to the
same, where he resided at the time of his death, Oct. 29, 1S85. Having been pastor
of the Central City and Waubeak Free Will Baptist churches a part of the time.

Batchelder, youngest son of Reuben and Betsy Batchelder, was born in Hampton Falls.
He married Mary Izette Greene. According to the custom in those days he was re-
tained on the homestead to care for his parents in their declining years. His great
executive ability caused him to be placed in many positions of trust. He was a
staunch Republican, and took great interest in political affairs. He was always
faithful 111 attending the primaries, and used his influence to nominate upright men
to office. Several times he served on the school board. He was for four years one
of the selectmen of Hampton Falls, and was twice elected to represent the town in
the New Hampshire legislature. He became one of the trustees of Dearborn
Academy in 1870, a position he now holds. He in 1840 united with the First Ev^an-
gelical Congregational Church of vSeabrook and Hampton Falls, N. II. He in-
herited the family trait of loyalty to the church and considered no sacrifice too great
to be made for its welfare. In 1866 he was the chief planner and manager in ex-
pending two thousand ($2,000) on repairs of the church building, it having been
closed for six years.

He was treasurer of the Congregational Society from 1867 to 1874. He served
as clerk of this society from 1870 to 1890. Each year since 1S67 he has been elected
chairman of the wardens of the society, a position which he now (1897) holds. In

1S92 he was one of the committee to move and remodel the church, and build horse
sheds. The work was satisfactorily completed at an expense of three thousand
dollars. He has always been regular in his attendance at church, no weather being
too severe to prevent his being found in his accustomed place. For 12 (twelve) suc-
cessive years he was superintendent of the Sunday school. Res. Hampton Falls,

Prof. Jonathan Tenney. He wasb. in Corinth, Vt., Sept. 14, 1S17;
eldest son of Jonathan and Lydia Owen (Crane) Tenney. His
father d. in 1865, aged 69 years. His mother is still living in West
Concord, N. H., in her io2d year. Prof. Tenney graduated from
Dartmouth College m 1843, in 1S46 received the degree of A. M.,
and in iSSo of Ph.D. from his Alma Mater. He was identified
with schools in Pembroke and INIanchester, N. H., and in Law-
rence and Pittsfield, Mass., as principal, in all of which he achieved
great success. In 1854 he was the originator of the New Hamp-
shire State Teachers' Association and its president for two years.
In 1857 he became principal of the Elmwood Literary Institute,
Boscowen, N. H., and successfully sustained it through the next
nine years of financial depression and Civil War. In 1866 he
opened a family and day school — Silv^er Lake Institute — -at New-
ton Centre, five miles from Boston, but the health of his family
requiring the change, he removed to New York in 1868; was
superintendent of schools in Owego, and elected Deputy Supre-
intendent of Public Instruction for the State of N. Y. in 1874.
Later, he became the librarian of the Y. M. A. in Albany, and
his last years were spent in literary work. His death occurred at
Albany, Feb. 24, 1888. Dr. Tenney was a man of quiet and retir-
ing disposition, ardently devoted to his family, true and constant
in his friendship, intimate with few, but courteous to all. Patient
in details, diligent and methodical in work, his efficiency was seen
. when results were reached. In religious faith he was a Congre-
gationalist and for over forty years a member of that church, and
was licensed as a preacher by the Susquehanna Cong. Asso. He
was a friend to all good causes and did all in his power to pro-
mote them, whether social, moral, benevolent, literary, patriotic
or religious.

"Mrs. Tenney was a native of Somersworth, N. H. Early in life
she manifested decided literary and musical tastes, in childhood
preferring study to pla}-, and books to dolls. ^Mathematics, music
and the languages were her especial delight, and to these she ap-
plied herself with such assiduity that at fourteen, Greek, Latin,
French, German, Spanish and Italian had been added to her En-
glish course, and at that age she was also an organist in a church
in her native village.

"She was not only a graduate of the Rhode Island State Normal
School, but later a teacher in the same institution, and was also
the associate principal of Elmwood Literary Institute, Boscowen,
N. H., and of Prof. Lincoln's Young Ladies' School, Providence,
R. I.

"In 1S66 she married Prof. Jonathan Tenney, Ph.D., and since
1874 her home has been at Albany, N. Y., where she is surrounded
by a wide circle of friends. She is a member of the executive
committee of the Congregational Woman's Home Miss. Union of
the State of New York, and president of the Hudson River Asso-
ciation.

"In addition to societies of general interest, she has been
actively associated with the philanthropic, musical and literary in-
terests of her own citj', occupying many positions of trust in con-
nection with them.

"At the State convention of the Woman's Christian Temperance
Union, of New York, held in Bingham ton in 18S7, Mrs. Tenney
was elected treasurer of the State organization, and at each suc-
cessive convention has been re-elected. Her taste for mathematics
serves her well in this important relation. As a treasurer, she is
the peer of any — prompt, reliable, accurate. She looks after the
minutest details, and to her watchfulness much of the financial
prosperity of the State Union is due.

"In iSSS a widow's sorrow came to Mrs. Tenney by the death
of her noble husband. Two sons survived him — boj's of nine and
twelv^e years, whose education and training since that time have
devolved upon her.

"Her organ voluntaries at the annual conventions evince a mas-
ter's skill and delight all who listen.

"The Granite Slate may well be proud of its gifted daughter,
and the Empire State, especially the Woman's Christian Tem-
perance Union, rejoices in her possession."

up on a farm until he was nineteen years of age, when he started out on his own
account. He went into the wilderness and built a saw mill and followed lumbering
until his health gave out. Later he studied medicine and practiced his profession
until his death.

Organization. — Nathan Bachelder and forty-one others petitioned the Governor
and council that the light infantry, commanded by Capt. Samuel Store, might be dis-
banded and that they might be formed into a rifle company. The measure was
approved by the officers commanding the regiment, brigade, division, and by
Capt. Stone, most of whose men were among the petitioners. It was alleged that
the light infantry was small in number and not fully officered and not easily re-
cruited. The committee of the council reported favorably June 12, J 819, and the
report was accepted by the Governor on the same day. June 14 the adjutant-
general issued his orders accordingly. They passed down from the major-general
June 21 ; from the brigadier-general July 6, and from Col. Isaac G. Reed Aug. 9.
The meeting for election of officers and organization was held Aug. 23. The
company was recruited by voluntary enlistment within the regiment.

Dress. — The dress consisted of short blue round jackets single-breasted, trimmed
with yellow ferret and ball buttons; of pantaloons with a row of buttons down
each leg on the outside seam, with three rows at the bottom, six buttons high;
and of thin half boots and of white neck handkerchiefs and white vests. The
leather caps had a yellow strap painted round them and a strip of bear skin, about
three inches wide, running from the brow over the head to the back of the neck.

The rifles, about forty in number, were purchased in 1820 for fifteen dollars
each, with merchantable boards at nine dollars per thousand. Upon each of them
were stamped the words "Union Rifle Company."

Officers. — John Bachelder, captain, Aug. 23, 1819, lieutenant-colonel, March
3, 1823; discharged Aug. 27, 182?.. Lewis Bachelder, lieutenant, Aug. 23, 1819;

went to Lowell, Mass., and was interested in the publication of the Vox Populi,
The Courier, and was one of the original proprietors of the Morning Mail. The
following is from a Lowell paper: The funeral of the late Nathaniel J. N. Bacheller
was held Wednesday at i o'clock at his residence on Andover street, and was largely
attended by his personal friends and acquaintances, and also by representatives
of business firms "of this city and Boston. A committee from the board of trustees
of the Washington Savings Bank was likewise in attendance. The service was led
by Rev, Dr. C. F. Rice, of Cambridge, a former pastor at St. Paul's Church, and touch-
ing remarks were added by Rev. C. J. Wigren. of the Swedish Methodist Church, of
which church the deceased had been a trustee from the time it was established.
Rev. F. O. Hall, of the First Universalist Church, added his tribute to the worth
of the deceased, and was followed by Rev. Dr. W. H. Thomas, of Lynn, recently of
St. Paul's Church, who had general charge of the arrangements. In the course of
the remarks of the latter he referred to a letter he had received from a former
pastor of the deceased, which we reproduce as follows:

East Boston, Feb. 19, 1895.
My Dear Friend:

I am sorry I cannot be at the funeral. I have to bury one of my own prominent
members at the same hour. Mr. Bacheller was a good man. The serenity and
trust with which he considered his condition and looked into the future when I
visited him last Friday was extraordinary, I never witnessed anything like it.
It was a great comfort to myself. He was ready to go and expected to meet God
in peace. 1 greatly regret I am prevented from being at the funeral.
Truly yours, * Frederick Woods, D.D.,

Pastor Saratoga Street M. E. Church, Boston.

The rites were closed by Rev. F. K. Stratton, the pastor of St. Paul's Church,
-./ho pronounced the benediction. The singing was bv a male quartette, consisting
of Messrs. Leach, Sturtevant, Wirt and Farnngton. The services throughout were
of a very impressive character. There was quite a number of beautiful floral em-
blems upon tne casket, testimonials of the personal friends and business associates
of the deceased. The remains were Thursday morning conveyed to Saco, Me.
(the native place of Mrs. Bacheller, and his home for many years), for interment in
Laurel Hill Cemetfery.

gallantry in action against Mosby's Guerrillas, between Cattlet's
and Fairfax stations, Va., Oct. 13-15, 1863, while serving as lieu-
tenant-colonel and qua rtermaster of volunteers, chief quartermaster
of the Second Army Corps."

General Batchelder was born in Meredith, N. H. He enlisted
in the First New Hampshire Regiment at the breaking out of the
war, and was appointed regimental quartermaster, First Regi-
ment, New Hampshire Volunteers, April 30, 1861. Fifteen days
after his appointment he had his regiment uniformed, armed and
equipped, and field transportation provided for baggage, tents
and supplies. This comprehensive grasp of details and great
e.xecutive ability brought him to the attention of field commanders,
and secured for him rapid promotion.

He wa,s appointed captain and assistant quartermaster and as-
signed to duty as chief quartermaster of the corps of observation
in August, 1861; chief quartermaster. Second Division, Second
Corps, Army of the Potomac, March, 1S62; lieutenant-colonel and

June, 1S64; colonel and chief quartermaster, Army of the Poto-

It was as chief quartermaster of the army of the Potomac that
his powers were fullest displayed, having charge of the immense
baggage trains of that great force, comprising soine 5,000 wagons
and 30,000 horses and mules, on the campaign from the Rapidan
to the James, which he handled with consummate skill.

He was brevetted major, lieutenant-colonel, and brigadier-
general of volunteers, and major, lieutenant-colonel, and colonel.
United States army, for faithful and meritorious service during
the war. He was appointed captain and assistant quartermaster
in the regular service in February, 1865, and from that date until
1SS9 he served as assistant and chief quartermaster at various
depots, posts, and departments. On July 10, 1890, he was ap-
pointed quartermaster-general of the army by President Harrison,
and has administered the exacting and multifarious duties of that
office with great ability. During his administration as quarter-
master-general the following new posts were built: Fort Crook,
Nebraska; Fort Bradv, Michigan; Fort Bliss, Texas; Fort Yel-
lowstone, Wyoming; Fort Ethan Allen, Vermont; post near Little
Rock, Ark. ; Fort Harrison, Montana, and Plattsburg barracks,
New York. Among th^* posts which have been enlarged are: Fort
McPherson, Georgia; Fort Sheridan, Illinois; Fort Logan, Colo-
rado; Fort Thomas, Kentucky; F'^ort Myer, Virginia, and Madison
barracks. New York.

Not less important has been the remodeling of the following
posts: David's island. New York harbor; Columbus barracks,
Ohio; Jefferson barracks, Missouri; Presidio, of San Francisco,
Cal. ; and Governor's island. New York harbor.

Secretary Lamont addressed the following letter to Gen. Bat-
chelder, quartermaster-general of the army, when he retired from
active service:

My Dear Gen. Batchelder: I very much regret that observance
of the new regulations prevents me from expressing in your order
of retirement the seise of loss which I feel the public sustains in
your separation from active duty.

I am sure that the efficiency, energy, and strict enforcement of
economy which have characterized your control of the quarter-
master's department, and which it was my pleasure to publicly
acknowledge in my last annual report, and the consequent per-
manent benefits to the army are so generally recognized that no
restatement is necessary.

Successful administration of the chief office of your corps, added
to important connections with the army during the most active

BATCHELDFR GENEALOGY. 245

and interesting^ period of its existence, must bring to you a satis-
faction which few can now possess.

With my best personal wishes for your health and happiness,
I beg to remain, faithfully yours,

Daniel S. Lamont, Secretary of War.

In recommending Gen. Richard N. Batchelder, of New Hamp-
shire, for appointment as quartermaster-general of the army, that
discriminatmg military critic, Gen. Frauds A. Walker, the his-
torian of the Second Army Corps, said: "No other man's services
can exceed his in the claims they make upon the consideration and
gratitude of his countrymen." It is impossible in this brief sketch
to give even a synopsis of General Batchelder's military career, a
career which won for him the confidence and affection of the com-
manders of our armies, which advanced him in the volunteer
service by rapid promotion from the rank of quartermaster of the
First New Hampshire Regiment to the responsible position of
chief quartermaster of the Army of the Potomac; which carried
him over the heads of six seniors in the regular service, and all
of them West Point graduates, when President Harrison was called
upon to appoint a quartermaster-general of the army, and which
secured for him indorsements and recommendations for that posi-
tion unsurpassed in the history of the regular army. One of the
first of New Hampshire's citizens to volunteer at the outbreak of
the Rebellion, he has reached the highest rank in the regular
service of any volunteer from this State, and it is not too much
to say of him that he is the most efficient quartermaster-general
the army has ever had.

College, where he remained several years, after which he entered the ministry of
the Gospel, and was ordained at the Baptist church at Thomaston, Me. He was
for several years employed by the Baptist Home Missionarj^ Society. Severing his
connection with that board he became pastor successively of the Baptist church in

1947. X. CHARLES E., b. May 12, 1849. He was m., had ch., and d. Sept.

4, 1894. The subject of this brief sketch was naturally imbued,
from his earliest years, with an earnest desire to search diligently
into his fading ancestral traditions, and he was inspired by their
teachings. We find him, as a boy, finishing his common school
education in his native town, earnest, untiring and industrious.
Later he attended Philips Academy, at Exeter, and during his
stay there walked to his home and back at the end of every week,
a distance of some twelve miles. His preparatory work at Exeter
was marked by attention and strictness in little things, as well as
in those of more moment. Leaving Exeter, he entered Harvard
College in 1869, taking the full academic course. Here, obliged
to confront the necessity facing every self-made man, of mak-
ing his own way unaided, he gave up all outside recreations and
attended to making the best possible use of his opportunities.
During his senior year he taught school in various places, and at
the close of his course he attended for a time the Harvard law
school, and then entered the office of Hon. John S. H. Frink, of
Portsmouth, N. H., staying there two years and a half, finishing
his legal studies with the Hon. William Gaston, of Boston. He
was admitted to the Suffolk bar in 1876, and began the practice of
law in Portsmouth the same year. Very shortly thereafter he was
appointed judge of the police court of Portsmouth, and, in 1882,
he became associated in business with Mr. Frink, this association
ending only with his death. He was prominently identified with
the educational and charitable interests of his city, was a trustee
in many local organizations; and was president of the Portsmouth
Savings Bank from 1893. He was prominently mentioned at a
Republican congressional nominee from the first New Hampshire
.district in 1888, but his health forbade, and his natural disinclina-
tion made it repugnant to him to seek office. It is especially note-
worthy that all positions to which he was appointed or elected he
held continuously to the time of his death. As a lawyer. Judge
Batchelder was learned, frank, honest, and industrious; sham and
hypocrisy he abhorred ; dodging the question with him was impos-
sible. He met every issue fairly and promptly. No case intrusted
to him ever failed of proper preparation, no question propounded
to him was an.-;wered by mere words. His growth, mentally as
well as naturally, was well proportioned and thorough ; there was
no retrogression, there was no pause, but a steady onward and
upward development that was a source of inspiration to those to
whom he was a model. Debarred by ill health from very active
court practice in his later years, the best glimpse of him could
not there be had. All knew his unfailing good nature, and his ever
ready disposition to do a brother lawyer a favor. It was with
office work that he was obliged, then, to be content, and that he
did this well was evidenced by the abundance of it that he had. As
a municipal judge he possessed a keen insight and an ability to
go to the root of the matter. Rarely was an appeal persisted in.
As a man. he was exact, methodical and punctual; he believed
that every person should have some outside pursuit to be followed
apart from his regular calling as a means of recreation. His
recreation was a study of early New England traditions and his-
tory. When confined to the house for more or less extended
periods, he would delve into some unsettled question of colonial
history and write out his conclusion. He was a frequent contribu-
tor to the New England Historical and Genealogical Register. In
a vain search for health, he made several trips abroad, spending

most of his lime in the southeast of England, browsing about in
his ancestral acres, and enjoying by himself those days of three
hundred years ago. No reference to Judge Batchelder is com-
plete whicn doc^ not make mention of a home life, so pastoral in
its simplicity, so fond in its associations, so mutually interdepen-
dent as was his. No favor was there loo small to be asked, none
too great to be granted. No outside function was allowed to in-
terfere with It, none could interfere with it. Judge Batchelder
was a man who could never grow old; he was a friend to the
young man, and among the many who regretted his untimely
decease, none were more sincere in their grief, none felt his loss
more keenly, than those young men who were fortunate enough to
have walked within the circle of his influence during his life, and
who, now that he has gone, cherish the memory of this man, of
whom none ever said aught but good. — From the Report of the

ested in the lumber business, having contracts with the government to supply ship
timber for the Charlestown Navy Yard. At the age of 35 he thought he had enough
money to retire upon, and invested it in real estate, mostly at the west end of
Boston. He was a man of dignity and strong character ; his manners were those
natural to good breeding. He was very tond of fine horses, and owned some of the
best in the city. At the age of 45, one of his horses ran away with him. He was
on his way to a farm which he owned in Roxbury (now a part of Boston) with his
foreman. They were both thrown out of the carriage, and his skull was fractured,
and, after lingering several months, he died from the effect of this accident. He d.

Deerfield, s. p.; d. April 2, 1867. The ancestors of Timothy Batchelder were by
occupation tanners. Timothy was born in Allenstown, N. H., in the old homestead,
on March 14, 1804. Within a short distance of the place of his birth, he carried on
his business, that of a hotel man, until his death on April 16, 1851. His grand-
father, sad as it may seem, not only deprived the Colonies of his assistance in the
War of the Revolution, but actually shouldered his musket and walked to Ports-
mouth, N. H., a distance of forty miles, and there assisted the British soldiers to
land upon our coast. When the War of 181 2 broke out between Great Britain and
the United States, Timothy, then a lad of eight summers, watched our soldiers
as they passed his home on their way to the seaport town to meet the fo'-eign
enemy. The sound of the drum had already charmed him. Even before this age
he had attended the musters in his own and the surrounding towns with his father.
Anyone who could beat a drum or play a fife was the most popular fellow in the
community, especially upon these great occasions. At these musters it was no
unusual sight to see some of the simple-hearted yeomanry around their favorite of
the drum and fife, listening and looking with open-eared and open-eyed wonder,
forgetful of everything save this all-absorbing sound and sight. Timothy teased
his father to buy him a drum ; the drum was secured and shortly thereafter no

BATCHELDER GENEALOGY. 253

muster was a success unless Timothy was there to manipulate the drumsticks. The
little fellow, too small to carry the drum himself, his father performed this menial
ofl&ce for him, and proud and happy he was in doing this for so talented a son as he
had in his boy Timothy, and in the office of drum major, to which he was subse-
quently appointed, he was no disappointment to anyone.

The hotel of which he was the landlord was situated in Deerfield, N. H., just
over the AUenstown line. It was on the great highway running from Concord to
Portsmouth, which was the old stage route. At his hotel all the stages stopped to
change horses, and here the passengers alighted from their uncomfortable seats to
partake of the good things at his table. Landlord Batchelder was a very kind-
hearted and popular man. He continued to run this hotel until his death, which
occurred when he was 47 years of age. In 1827 he married Mary P. Pickering, of
New Market, N. H, who died Aug. 28, 1843. A few years afterwards he married
Eliza A. Blaisdell, of Deerfield, N. H,, who survived him several years. By his
first wife he had three children — Georgianna, John P. and Horace W. ; the former
died in New York in 1886; his son John resides in AUenstown and his son Horace
resides in Suncook, N. H. Timothy, by his second wife, had no children. Dau.

1073. JOHN BATCHELDER (John, Abraham, Samuel, Samuel, Nathaniel,
Nathaniel, Stephen), b. Meredith, N. H., Oct. 25, 1815; m. there, Sept. 8, 1849,
Caroline Folsora, b. June 2, 1829. John Batchelder, son of Dea. John Batchelder,
was born on the old homestead farm in that part of the town of Meredith, N. H.
(now a part of the city of Laconia). He remained at home until his eighteenth year,
acquiring a common school education, when he went to Meredith village, and ap-
prenticed himself to a Mr. Lang, a wheelwright and cabinet maker. At the close
of his apprenticeship he went to Boston, Mass., and engaged in the business of
pianoforte case making, where he remained until after his thirtieth year, when fail-
ing eyesight compelled him to give up the business, and he returned to the old
farm, where he purchased considerable land and settled down to take care of his
father and stepmother. He married Carroline Folsome, daughter of his stepmother.
They had eight children, the first a daughter who died in infancy. The others
were. John F. ; Frank A., who died in his ninth year; Freeman H. ; Burton L. ,
Lyman P.; Edward W., and Alice, who died in her second year. At the death
of his father he came into possession of the old homestead. Early in life he united
with the Freewill Baptist Church of Meredith. In politics he was first a Whig,
then he joined the Know Nothing party, and a few years later the Republican
party, with wh:ch he has since remained. He still lives on the old farm, his son,
Freeman H., living with him and caring for him in his old age. He was always a
retiring, modest man, simple in his tastes and habits. With a good memory, and
a constant reader of political history, he possesses an unusual fund of information
along these lines, and though eighty-one years of age his interest in national aifairs,
both at home and abroad, is as strong as ever. Res. Meredith and Laconia, N. H.

Gloucester, N. J., Sarah Kaufman, b. May, 1819. She res. 2218 East Almond
street, Philadelphia, Pa. Samuel Hutchinson Batchelor was born in East Knox,
Me. The first incident of note in his life was Ihat, at the age of 12, he ran away to
sea, a practice then no rarity among New England boys. In the instance here
recorded the incentive is said to have been as much due to the severity of the old
homestead life as an anxious search for better conditions. Young Batchelor
shipped for three years in a whaler. The hard life of the seamen caused him to
gain the best office within leach, but on his return to land the sea had no further
attractions for him. His first acts after his return were to educate himself, and he
devoted his energies to that end without ceasing until the day of his death. Pos-
sessing a considerable affection for his brother Ira, the youngest son of the family,
he took the earliest opportunity to take him away from the old farm and convey
him to Portland, Me., where he — Samuel — obtained a permanent home for him with
a wealthy Quaker and bank president, Rufus Horton, who then resided in a large
mansion on one of the principal streets of that city. Shortlj^ after, Samuel bound
himself out to learn the trade of blacksmith, and served his full time at that indus-
try, but never continued it. He found the work too heavy and unclean for his
tastes. Thereu]ion he taught himself the principles of mechanics. So expert did
he become in his newly chosen field that shortly after his majority he publicly
announced himself as a master machinist. At Gloucester, N. J., he obtained a
contract to construct and put in spinning machinery in the Angora mills. Appreci-
ating the skill of a young friend, Francis A. Pratt, at present president of the Pratt
& Whitney Company, of Hartford, Conn., he asked young Pratt to join him in
partnership in his contract, an act which, at this clay, causes Mr. Pratt to say of
himself, that it was one of the most memorable in his life in its beneficial effects.

266 BATCHELDER GENEALOGY.

At Gloucester, Samuel first met the young woman who became his wife, and
there his son, John Milton, was born. Together, they traveled to Chicopee, Mass.,
where Samuel found some business. There, hearing of the growth of Colt's fire-
arms at Hartford — about 1850 — he visited those works and obtained the position of
superintendent of the machine tool division. So promising became this business on
consequence of the Mexcian War, in 1849, and demand for firearms, that he sent
for a number of his old associates — if memory serves, Mr. F. A. Pratt and Mr. Asa
Cook, of Hartford, being among them — to share in the promised prosperity. A few
j'-ears later these works were moved into newly constructed buildings on the out-
skirts of the city, the largest and most extensive of any in that line of business in
the world, their capacity during the late war being eight thousand men working day
and night. Samuel held his position with the greatly increasing number of hands
under his charge, with the rapid growth of the works, until the day of his death, in
1855, at the age of 36. He died at a time when there was opened out to him a career
of prosperity and wealth. Consumption was his trouble; and it is said that he
deemed the struggle of life too hard for his rewards. He died peacefully at his
comfortable home, making no complaint of undtie suffering

Colt's brass band, then a large, first-class organization, voluntarily attended his
funeral, and at the grave played the sweetest music the writer ever listened to
before or since that time.

Samuel H. Batchelor possessed an organization of the highly refined high
strung type, but cool, calculating, and always self-controlled. His tastes and work
were of a delicate mould, and he greatly disliked to soil his hands. As an expert
at his calling, Mr. Horace Lord, the general superintendent of Colt's Armory for
forty years and over, said of him to the writer, "He was of royal blood." Mr. Lord
added that Samuel's forte in mechanics was his immediate perception of the utility
of improvements; his quick and just appreciation of the simplest and most effective
construction to the end sought.

In illustration of personal character and natural independence of disposition, in
his early days, after having finished his preliminary education in mechanics, it was
sometimes necessary for him to get work by personal application. His appear-
ance at this time was youthful, even less than his years. In applying to the
proprietor he would ask for a position only granted long experienced hands, and
ask pay even higher than the pay paid the best men in the business. Employers
would thereupon laugh at him, ask for his references, and say that their men would
leave the works if such wages were paid a boy. Samuel would, in such cases,
always refuse to give references. He would tell the employer he must judge from
his own knowledge and not that of others. That he, Samuel, would not work for
any less, and if, after trial, he was not found worth his pay, he would not take
anything. His ver\r boldness on such occasions usually caused the employer to give
him a trial, and after the employer was asked if Samuel's .work was satisfactory,
invai'iably the answer came in the affirmative. Neither would Samuel look at a
reference from a hand he employed. He always relied upon his own judgment of
the applicant.

The number of sincere friends Samuel always gathered about him is unexam-
pled in the writer's knowledge. Among them were hundreds of strong, superior
men, who have since become wealthy and renowned in the various channels of life,
and who, while Samuel lived, were of that class of friends best known as "faithful
to the last." And the striking feature of the remarkable and widespread friend-
ship was that so far as could be seen it was entirely unsought. Samuel never put
himself out to make a friend; they came to him unsought, they gathered to him,
recognizing a superior man — and he never betrayed their confidence. It is not
known to the writer that he ever had an enemy.

Concerning the character of the work Samuel did at Colt's armory, Mr. F. A.
Pratt said to the writer: "No such machine tools as those constructed in Colt's
Armory had ever before or since been made in the world, so delicate and
accurate were they in adjustment and complete in detail for the work required of
them. That those tools cost over si.x times the cost of the best tools ever made by
the Pratt & Whitney Company, because the market could never afford to pay for
such work as Samuel put into them." Mr. Pratt added, that, had Samuel lived,
he, Mr. Pratt, would have had him in as a partner in the Pratt & Whitney Co. , because
of Samuel's remarkable mechanical skill and his personal character as a man.
Whenever Mr. Pratt now speaks of Samuel, it is with a depth of admiration that
instantly attracts the ear of a listener because of its very rarity.

How far Samuel's influence went in forming the remarkable business methods

BATCHELDER GENEALOGY. 267

of Colt's Armory is unknown to the writer. Regarding these methods, it may be
properly said here that no such works have ever before or since been in existence in
point of liberality and opportunity for the skilled operative — without capital of his
own — to become wealthy. There never were any printed rules or regulations for
the men's conduct in the establishment, even when 8,000 men were daily employed.
There never was a strike, and, what is to the point, there never were even any
murmurings in the direction of a strike in the whole history of the works. Men
most skilled in their various departments were selected by the superintendent to bid
on the construction of large quantities of desired parts. Tools, supplies, materials, and
guaranteed wages to whatever number of men were necessary to do the work, were all
furnished by the company. Such selected men were named contractors, but they did
their business with the Company's men and materials without the use of capital of
their own. The striking part of these bids, under which all work was done in the
establishment was, that no contractor was asked or required to make a competing or
"lowest bid," instead he was asked for a bid that would afford him a fair business
profit for carrying out the contract, and the company agreed to pay his men what-
ever wages he deemed right, and allow him to have full complete control over their
acts, precisely the same as if he employed him with his own capital. It was no
rarity, even for the superintendent to voluntarily increase a contractor's bid, when
he deemed it too low. This original method of doing business resulted m attracting
the most expert and best men in the business. They came from far and wide to
take advantage of such unexampled liberality. The consequence was that these
works turned, out the best work ever made in the world. Such is the testimony of
our greatest and best army officers. Above and beyond that, these contractors,
totally without capital, and never favorites, except as they merited it, became
actually wealthy. Hundreds of them made themselves worth from $40,000 to
$150,000 each by the opportunty graciously, far-sightedly and willingly given,
through methods of business conduct that make of this a really wonderful institu-
tion.

Samuel's moral, political and church views were confined to liberalism. He
rarely attended church, would do nothing in its support, and if he did attend, it
was with a spirit of inquiry and not worship. In fact, all he did in these directions
was to search for something better than the world afforded. He was dissatisfied
with things existing, but made no open complaint; invariably his dissatisfaction
was in the direction of silent observation. And to the day of his death he was
never satisfied with the sum total of ascertainable information. He d. 1855, Hart-
ford, Conn.

Heights, N. J. John Milton Batchelor, son of Samuel H. Hatch-
elor, was born at Gloucester, N. J. A few months later the family
returned to New England, temporarily residing in Massachusetts;
but soon after the family made their home at Hartford, Conn.,
where John was brought up until the age of 1=5. At 15. his uncle,
Ira J. Batchelor, sent for him to live in Portland, Me. In that city
he received a business education at his uncle's place of business,
with John Winslow Jones, an estimable man, in the canned goods
business, with whom he remained several years as office assistant;
meanwhile taking a trip through Maine to see his father's family,
studying evenings and odd hours, besides attending a course of
law lectures by Hon. Josiah H. Drummnnd.

At the age of 17, while under the influence of ether in a dentist's
chair, John had "a vision." which he then and ever since has kept
to himself. Not that visions are uncommon under such circum-
stances, but this was something more; it was a forecast of practical
matters, clear in detail, of what his future occupation would be,
and its consequent effects upon the rest of mankind; so vividly
was this view brought before his comprehension that from that
day to this, in consequence of what has since transpired, he has
had no occasion to question its accuracy. How far this "vision"
may have influenced subsequent investigations, hereafter de-
scribed, is not apparent. Immediately thereafter, however, it
became to him but an event in life requiring no further analysis
than his own memory.

268 BATCHELDER GENEALOGY.

In 1867, a new firm was formed in Portland for wholesale trad-
ing in fancy goods and small wares. John, then 18 years old, was
asked by this firm to become their bookkeeper, at $900 salary the
firftyear. and $1,200 the second year, which offer he accepted, and
for the first time in life started out on his own account. He
remained with this firm until it failed, about two years later; then
— in 1869 — with letters of introduction went to seek his fortunes in
New York City, where he obtained a place with H. J. Libby &
Co., dry goods commission, as assistant bookkeeper. Here he re-
mained one year, then returned to Portland to become a partner in
the already established Dirigo Suspender Company, then employ-
ing about thirty hands. At first the suspender business prospered,
but this prosperity was interrupted by suddenly discovered frauds
committed by a partner. This discovery and consequent loss crip-
pled the new firm so that John took the conduct of the whole
business alone, and moved with it to Boston to find a larger field
of trade. John closed out his interest to his partner about two
years after having entered into it.

During this sev-ere business experience, John reached conclu-
sions somewhat similar to those reached by his father when the
latter was 15 years or so older; although he was not, at the time,
aware of what his father's conclusions had been on this pomt, the
latter having died when John was only six years old. This con-
clusion was, that life is not worth its rewards, considering their
cost in physical and mental labor. This view might have ended
John's career about that time had circumstances not then presented
an opportunity to go abroad and see more of the world.

Obtaining a dozen or so foreign letters of introduction, he there-
upon passed a few months in the Islands of Great Britain, sailed
from Edinburgh to Norway and Sweden, crossed Sweden by rail,
thence to St. Petersburg, Russia, and from there to Berlin, where
he passed six months .studying German, etc. Later, he visited
neighboring countries, the Rhine gambling resorts, then Brussels
and Paris, which latter city he remained in about six weeks; then
returned to New York, after being a full year abroad. All spare
hours of this journey were devoted to study; after leaving Ger-
many, of the French and Spanish languages.

The ten years following, in New York, were devoted as business
permitted, and business was subordinated thereto, to a close study
of the sciences, history, comparative religions, etc. Regular
courses of lectures were attended in three of the colleges of New
York, and over two thousand standard works on above subjects,
were read and studied. But most of this reading was with a de-
fined end in view; to learn if any past experience justified any
better mode of daily life than that made available by the ordinary
run of knowledge, and thus expose something that would make
life worth living. Meanwhile, shortly after his return to the
United States, he engaged with the Domestic Sewing Machine Co.,
and remained with that company one year, averaging m weekly
earnings during that time seventy dollars. At the end of this year,
Mr. F. A. Pratt, president of the Pratt & Whitney Co., of Hart-
ford, offered John a partnership with his brother, R. N. Pratt,
then in business in New York, as an agency for steam appliances.
John took hold, but finding, after selling the goods they had for
sale, that the goods were not what was advertised, he altered the
business by taking in engines, boilers and machinery. Later, Mr.
F A. Pratt backed up the business with additional capital, and
Abel Dennison, vice-pesident of the Loan and Indemnity Com-
pany—a superior man, by the way — was taken in as a partner.
At this time business was being confined to a promising boiler
improvement, which, after careful investigation as to its merits
among reputable firms and corporations, had been taken on sale.
But the old experience or success could not be duplicated; the
consequence was severe losses, so John gave up his share of the
business for want of money to carry himself on.

BATCHELDER GENEALOGY. 269

We now reach 1876, when John was 27 years old. At this time
his old view of the worthlessness of things in general revived
with energy.. This resulted in a new experience of sufficient im-
port to change his object in life, and finally resulted in exposing
to his satisfaction that life actually possessed an object worth
obtainment, provided certain things, not taught in the colleges
of the day, became practically understood; not only was worth
obtainment, but afforded full satisraction to all life's requirements.

In the fall of i88q, John printed in The Financier, over his
signature, a paper currency plan adapted to this or any country to
replace all other forms of money, showing how to constantly
mamtain it at par with gold or any given standard, regardless of
the fluctuations of a country's credit. In summary this plan
was: Issue a paper money convertible into a fluctuating interest
coupon bond, such fluctuating interest to be regulated from time
to time as needed by the state treasurer in public announcements,
with a preliminary announcement that such bonds would be main-
tained in that way at par at all times.

Shortly after, John introduced a new plan in the same paper,
for which he received considerable pay, showing bankers how
they could double their profits by means of combining under a
national clearing-house system, with branches, and the use of
national clearing-house certificates among their own association,
which would be permitted as a consequence of one bank receiving
within a day or so the money paid out by another bank; thus
business among banks could be quadrupled without the addition
of more money. From this plan in behalf of banks, he studied out
the same principle for wider application, and developed a plan in
behalf of the whole public, which was, some months later, first
published in The Item, February, 1892, but which, in new lan-
guage, has since appeared from John's pen among the editorials of
the last mentioned daily, in four articles, during January and Feb-
ruary, 1897. This plan in summary is: Allow the treasury to buy
out all banks of discount, which can be done without any more
money in circulation than we now have, and discount commercial
paper for the business public at cost, say atone-half of one per cent
per annum, and thus save to the public this annual drain in usury
of over two thousand million dollars a year that is now sapjiing
the life-blood out of the people and industries. This plan would
permit the conduct of ten times the business now done by private
(including nationals) banks of discount, with no more money in
use than now exists, and give depositors the security of the gov-
ernment for all their deposits. The secret of this whole thing
being, what one branch bank would pay out, another branch bank
would receive ; consequently the nation's business could be carried
on by a central national clearing-house. The plan is recommend-
ed to be extended to take in pawnbroking and warehouse receipt
security, as well as government loans.

AVhen the bank plan for doubling bank profits first appeared, it
was sent to every bank in the country, and ever since then, as may
be noted by the records, the banks have been concentrating through
associations to this described end. Practically the banks are adopt-
ing the plan as originally written, as prominent bankers now confess
its merits. But the later plan m the public's behalf, will, in time,
replace all private (national) banking business, because its econo-
mies in behalf of the prosperity of the people are too numerous to
question, and the change can be made with no particular cost or
trouble; it all being based upon the mutual plan of banking, as
distinguished from banking in behalf of private stockholders.

During his business career, John made three trips to Havana,
Cuba, and did much traveling throughout all parts of the United
States, for pleasure and business purposes.

At this date, 1897, at the age of 48, he does not consider that his
field of usefulness has yet been opened to him, that the results of

his extensive investigations are still confined to his own knowledge,
yet he leaves no opportunity pass to produce the final accomplish-
ment plain facts justify.

to the northwest part of the township of Montpelier, then nearly a wilderness. Here
the young man grew up, profiting by such schooling as the pioneer conditions
afforded. On reaching manhood he engaged, with his father and brother, in the
business of manufacturing lumber and pot and pearl ashes — the latter still a busi-
ness of considerable importance, but soon destroyed by the de Blanc sod process of
the French. Later he settled on a farm in the vicinity, built a house, and brought
to his new home as his wife Miss Mary Chase, a teacher, a woman of excellent
education and fine ability. Here he lived till his death at sixty-two — a typical,
thrifty New England farmer, beloved by his family and friendr,, and trusted and
respected by the whole community. He d. 1867. Res. East Montpelier, Vt.

Nathaniel, Nathaniel, Nathaniel, Stephen), born Holliston, Mass., April 6, 1847;
m. April 6, 1S69, Harriet L. Rawson, b. Nov. 22, 1847. Francis Batchelder was
born in Holliston, Mass., coming from a vigorous and enterprising family who

have made themselves felt in the com-
mercial history of that section of the
State and have left behind them a repu-
tation for strict integrity and strength of
character, which seem to have been en-
tailed to the subject of this sketch, by
right of inheritance. He received his
education in the public schools of that
place, entering upon his business life at
an early age. His history has been one
of steady development along lines that
today make his name respected and hon-
ored among his many friends, both in
social and business circles. In 1S69 he
married Harriet L. Rawson, of Hollis-
ton, and in the same year began business
in a small way in East Boston. Contin-
uing there for four years he then dis-
posed of his interest, entering at once
into the retail provision business, which
he continued with success until 18S2,
when he established the wholesale pro-
vision house at 53, 55. 57 and 59 Black-
stone street, Boston. He applied to this
business in its enlarged field the same
indefatigable energy that has ever char-
acterized his relations with every enter-
prise with which he has been associated,
and it stands today in the front rank of
the sound business houses of Boston, and
is a familiar name in the cities and towns
of New England. Mr. Batchelder has
for many years been greatly interested
in the progressive religious movements
of the day, and especially in those hav-

ing for their object the elevation of young men. As a member of the Mass. State
Committee of the Y. M. C. A. he has exerted a broad and far-reaching influence.
He is vice-president of the Boston Fruit and Produce Exchange, and was one of
the leading spirits m the now famous legislative fight of this organization against
the New York, New Haven & Hartford R. R. freight discrimination. In politics
Mr. Batchelder has always been a Republican, but has never hesitated to espouse
the cause of any man who was battling for a principle. He has been criticised at
times as too liberal in the stands he has taken in public matters, bui the final results
have justified his attitude and conclusions. He has served most acceptably on
various town committees, bringing his long and practical business training to his
aid, making his suggestions and advice of the best. Personally he is very quiet
and retiring in his characteristics, and is seen at his best in the midst of practical
activities. The citizens of Everett have selected wisely in making the choice of their
foremost candidate for the chief office of our city this gentleman, who can bring
to it a well-earned reputation for ability, integrity and progressive ideas, qualities
which marked him for selection as the representative type of the citizen's move-
ment in Everett for clean politics and upright, fearless, business-like administration
of the city government. Res. Everett, Mass. Boston address, 53 Blackstone st.

1493. WILLIAM ADAMS BACHELDER (Josiah, Josiah, Elisha, Josiah,
Nathaniel, Nathaniel, Nathaniel, Stephen), born East Andover, N. H., July 4,
1823; m. at Manchester, Feb. 19, 1852, Adeline Elizabeth Shaw, b. Oct. 5, 1829;
d. Jan. 1896. He has always lived on the little rough and rocky farm where
his grandfather, Capt. Josiah B. settled in 1782, and cleared from the unbroken
wilderness — where his father was born and lived till his death at the age of 76 years.
None of his immediate Bachelder ancestors were in the Revolutionary War of 1776.
The family was never Democratic in politics, and, living in a strong Democratic
town, they have never been honored or ruined by office. His father, in 1832, raised
the first barn frame ever raised in town without rum, and cast the first Liberty
party vote in the town early in the forties. The farm — a typical New Hampshire
farm — is most all rocks, but they have managed, without one dollar of speculation,
to live and contribute something to a needy brother, and to constantly improve the
farm and buildings. He can show, of his own building, a I'arm wall 16 feet wide
and 8 feet high, all taken from the adjoining land within 25 rods; res. East And-
over, N. H.

dau. of Charles and Ann, b. Jan. i8iS; d. March 19, 1855. A clipping from a Hol-
lowell, Me., paper is as follows: "Mr. Chas. G. Bachelder, an old and well known
resident of this city, died last Monday evening, aged about sixty. He owned for many
years the block where J. B. Thomas's shoe store now is, and was at one time one
of the heaviest business concerns in town. Later in life he became embarrassed in
business and lost all his property. He leaves two sons, who are engaged in busi-
ness in Minnesota. After the death of his wife, to whom he was passionately
attached, Mr. Bachelder cared for his little ones with the aid of a housekeeper.
He never remarried. Business reverses and ill health clouded the close of a life
that opened bright with hope and promise in his young manhood. Fond of society
and having many friends, he has rejoined the loved ones gone before, where partings
are no more, and the old homesteaa has passed into the hands of strangers." He

Gilmanton, N. H., and came with the family to Kenduskeag, Me., and then to
Bangor, Me. He then went to Boston and learned the trade of a machinist, and
that of mathematical and surgical instruments, including artificial limbs. This
specialty he followed for a number of years, when he went into the manufacture of
piano-forte hardware. After establishing a successful business at the expense of his
health, he sold out, and moved onto a farm nearOldtown, Me. A couple of years of
this quietness was enough, when he moved to town and went into the hotel business
(keeping tavern, then so-called) with a livery stable attached. At the breaking out of
the Rebellion he went to the front as ist lieut. of Co. C. 7th regt. Maine Vol.
infantry. In October (or September). 1862, he was promoted to the rank of captain
of Co. C, same regiment. He served his time out, with no serious injuries or
wounds, the regt. being with the Army of the Potomac during the whole war, and
being engaged in every battle of note during that time, receiving personal praise
from Gen. McClellan for the bravery shown (by the regt.) at Williamsburg. The
regt. had on the colors Williamsburg, Malvern Hill, 2d Bull Run, Antietam, and
many others.

After the close of the war he returned to Oldtown, Me., and went into the busi-

ness of light mill repairs and blacksmithing, having a small machine and black-
smith shop and another building for horse-shoeing and wagon repairs. Owing to
the tight times immediately after the war, he sold out and went to California, at
first following his trade as an engineer, both on the water and in the lumbering
district, in the meantime purchasing a ranch and raising stock and grain.

As a young man in Boston he was fully identified with the volunteer fire de-
partment of tnat time, being foreman of one of the old hand engines for a number
of years, and while residing at Oldtown was also an active member of the fire
department. During the war his mechanical ability was made useful by his superior
officers in many ways, his practical knoA^ledge coming in play in many cases where
immediate and quick action was needed; res. Oldtown, Me., Boston, Mass., and

steamboat called the "Sam Ward" to New Buffalo, the nearest railroad town.
The wind was strong, the waves were high, the boat was short, and Bacheldor
was seriously seasick. A ride across Michigan to Detroit, a ride down to
Cleveland in a wind storm, sent that same Bacheldor up the streets of Cleveland
exceedingly demoralized. He taught classes in penmanship until the next summer
in and around Newbury; then went to Massachusetts and itinerated, teaching pen-
manship, painting and public school; then spent some time lecturing upon natural
history in the villages, schools and academies in Berkshire County. Early in 1853
he made a lecturing tour to Ohio, taught classes in penmanship in Dover, Ohio,
and early in April went to Joliet, 111., and joined the corps of engineers in the
building of the Chicago and Mississippi — now the Chicago, Alton and St. Louis —
railroad ; went with the lumber for the first house in Dwight from Joliet in a canal
boat to Morris and by teams across the country, through wet sloughs and other
■sloughs to the destination; helped build the house and lived in it while the road
was constructed, having charge of twenty-five miles of the line from Grundy Co.
line to Pontiac. Then he taught public school in Joliet until called home by the
death of his brother, engaged in farming and teaching in Newbury until the fall of
1858. Married Elizabeth A. Griswold. Taught penmanship in Rensselaer Co.,
N. Y., and Berkshire Co., Mass., until the fall of 1S61; then became principal of
Oak Grove Seminary, Pownal, Vt., and began preaching for the Baptist church
soon after, and taught and preached until 1865, when he gave up teaching for office
work in the woolen mill of S. Wright, continuing in that tor three and one-half
years; then taught a term in Oak Grove Seminary; then in i86g opened "Rural
Home, a school for boys." which he continued thirteen years, preaching in the
meantime in Pownal, Bennington and North Bennington, Vt., Hoosick, Petersburgh,
Berlin and Cambridge, N. Y., and WiUiamstown and North Adams, Mass. In 1881
went to Western North Carolina and developed a gold mining property for Vein
Mountain Mining Co., a company in New York City, of which Paul A. Chadbourn
was president; in 1882 went to Poughkeepsie, New York, took the course m busi-
ness and in ornamental penmanship, and in 1884 went to Greensboro, N. C. , and
taught and preached until the spring of 1886, when he started a business college
in York, Pa., which he continued eight years, still preaching in York, Delta and
Lancaster, Pa. ; in 1894 came here and has been and is now engaged in teaching
and preaching. This is a fair history of the man. Health is good, weighs 180 lbs.,

HOW THE SEWING MACHINE BECAME PERFECTED.

A man moves among the throngs of the down-town streets of the city today
who is an unthanked benefactor of the race. To those who know him he is a
pleasant, unpretentious man ; to those who do not, a person to be singled out from
the endless procession of faces that make up the daily panorama. His name is John
Bachelder, and without his genius the world might be chanting "The Song of the
Shirt" with recurring applications. Not a sewing machine moves today but from
the impetus given it by John Bachelder's inventive genius, and every shuttle and
wheel sings a song not understood by the uninitiated, j^et full of meaning. The
burden of the pathetic song is that of the old, old stor^- of the inventor unable to
profit by his own achievements. It is the story of the typewriter over again.

Bachelder, who made the sewing machine commercially succes.sful, lost a fortune
at a period when a dollar was equal to three or four today. John Bachelder's life
reads like a romance. He doesn't open the book to any one; he is 100 proud for
that. No complaint escapes his lips regarding what might have been. He is re-
tired from active life, not as well off as would seem to be his due, but still serene in
the knowledge that he wronged no one. He spends his time now in literar\^ pur-
suits. Mr. Bachelder was born in Weare, New Hampshire, m 181 7. He had a
public school and academic education and taught for three years, after which he

became an accountant in Boston, in connection with the transportation company
doing business on the Middlesex canal. This finally led to the formation of a part-
nership to engage in the transportation business, but the completion of the railway
to Manchester, N. H., made that business unprofitable and he turned his attention
to the dry goods business. In the winter of 1846 he went to Europe to purchase
goods and arrange for an importing business in Boston. This resulted a little
later in the organization of the firm of Bachelder, Burr & Co., a business that was
successful from the start.

In the winter of 1847 Elias Howe had a sewing machine on exhibition in Boston
and Mr. Bachelder, in going to and returning from his store on Milk street, passed the

place where it was exhibited. Although it was worthless for all practical purposes,
he became deeply interested in it, believing that it might be so improved as to
become a labor-saving machine, and finally, after spending much time in experi-
menting privately at his house, decided to undertake it. He secured a small shop
and began to master the trade of machinist, developing his works until he had a
dozen men employed. To do this he abandoned a good paying business and de-
voted his whole attention to it for about five years. After using all his means
accumulated in business (about $12,000) and borrowed about $4,000 of his friends,

296 BATCHELDER GENEALOGY.

found it necessary to sell his patent, realizing only enough to pay his debts. Howe,
Singer, Baker and others visited his shop and saw his machines at work. W. E.
Baker, of the Grover & Baker Co. , made frequent visits — several times a week In
one of his experimental machines, he made what is known as the Grover & Baker
Stitch.

In making it he used one vertical and one horizontal needle. The Grover
& Baker Co. built a machine that was practically the same. They substituted a
curved under needle or thread carrier in place of the straight horizontal one. By
patenting his machine or the stitch he might have controlled the Grover &
Baker machine. The two threads used by him were of the same size and
caused an objectionable clumsy ridge on the under side of the cloth, which he
thought would condemn it, and let it rest. Grover & Baker, in experimenting,
found that by using a smaller thread on the under side of the cloth that this objec-
tion was overcome, and this made it a success.

The most important points of his invention, however, were the horizontal sup-
porting table, the continuous feed, and vertical straight needle, features that no
sewing machine in use today could do without. His model deposited at the patent
office showed conclusively what he had invented, though not fully protected. After
the indirect sale of the patent to the Singer Co., it was reissued and made to cover
all points of his invention. A combination was formed known as the sewing
machine monopoly by the Singer Co., Wheeler & Wilson Co., and the Grover &
Baker Co. In a suit pending between this combination and Howe, which appeared
likely to result in invalidating Howe's patent, the attorneys of the combination sug-
gested that if declared void it would become public property and leave the sewing
machine business open to public competition so far as the eye-pointed needle was
concerned, and that was all of any value claimed by Howe. They then decided
to settle their differences, recognize his claim, pay him a small royalty to the expir-
ation of his patent, and use him as a figurehead. To give the reader some idea
of the value of the Bachelder patent, the Singer Co. reported sales of 260,000 ma-
chines for the last year of the existence of his patent. On the day the patent
expired. May 8th, 1877, the price of machines was reduced from $60 to $30 each.
Thus, 260,000 multiplied by 30 makes the snug little sum of $7,800,000, saved by its
protection to that one company in one 3'ear. This patent has been estimated by
experts and others to have been worth over $100,000,000.

The New York Times of May 8th, 1877, said: "The Bachelder patent expires
at noon today. This patent, under which the combination acted, has been twice
extended, and the net profits of these companies on the patent from ro3^alties col-
lected from outside licensed companies have been at least S4,ooo,ooo. All efforts
of the combination to secure a further extension having failed," etc.

The New York Mail of the same date said: "The expiration of the la.st patent
which has Imked together the sewing machine companies in a powerful combination
is likely to prove a great boon to the public."

Said the New York Evening Post of a few days earlier: " The last of these
patents will expire on Tuesda^r next. This patent is known as the Bachelder
patent, and covers the needle plate, together with all devices by which cloth can
be fed between the clamping surfaces. One company is said to have paid $800,000
to the combination in the last ten years. A general reduction in the price of sewing
machines is expected to follow the expiration of the Bachelder patent."

A very good statement of just what Mr. Bachelder did for the perfection of the
sewing machine is found in a booklet on notable American inventions issued by
C. A. Shaw & Co., of Boston. It says: "The principal improvements made in
the sewing machine after Howe were those of John Bachelder, of Boston, in 1849.
In the Howe machine the needle was curved and moved horizontally in the arc of
a circle. The cloth was suspended vertically and after being fed along past the
needle a short distance, had to be moved back to its normal position and the oper-
ation repeated, both threads having to be cut to permit this to be done. Bachelder
was the first man in the world who ever built a sewing machine having a hori-
zontal bedpiece or table, on which the cloth was supported, a perpendicular eye-
pointed needle, a needle plate, a continuous feed, and a device for pressing the
cloth in the vicinity of the needle with a yielding pressure, five elements which are
now found in every modern sewing machine and without which they would be
substantially worthless."

When Mr. Bachelder got his machine on the market and was trying to introduce
it, he had a rather peculiar experience with the tailors of Boston. He went to
three clothing manufacturers and had each take a machine. They started making

BATCHELDER GENEALOGY. 297

clothing with them, but pretty soon there was a row about it among the journey-
men. They thought their bread and butter was threatened, and the men at two
of the factories agreed to walk out if the "d — d machines" were not dispensed
with. Two firms gave in. The third, to avoid trouble, had a machine operated
privately at his residence for doing fine stitching on satin vests which were then
fashionable, but the style of the stitch gave his scheme away and the machine
had to be given up altogether.

In 1850 or '51 Mr. Bachelder made a finely finished machir^e which was turned
over to the combination and became known as "the fighting machine," and has
been on exhibition in court at many important trials.

After his experience as an inventor, Mr. Bachelder secured assistance and
engaged in cotton manufacturing at Lisbon, Conn. He finally became sole pro-
prietor, but lost heavily above insurance when the mills were destroyed by fire.
He rebuilt, but a depression came on and he finally sold out. He was interested
in a woolen mill also, but this ceased to be profitable soon after the close of the
war and this he sold.

He served as postmaster and town treasurer of Lisbon and later, while residing
at Norwich, was made a director of the First National bank of Norwich and a
trustee of the Chelsea Savings bank. In 1875 he moved to Napa, Cal., and erected
a manufacturing plant there. The great depression in business on the Pacific coast
from 1877 to 1880 caused him to lose heavily, and he soon after retired from active
business life.

Mr. Bachelder has written a good deal and published a book entitled "A. D.
2050," suggested by Bellamy's "Looking Backward." While in California he be-
came interested in libraries and was for some years a trustee of the Napa City
Library and was president of the board when he left California.

in Northfield, N. H. The summer he was 1 1 years old his father let him to Zeph
Batchelder, his cousin, to work on his farm. The next two years he lived with his
sister Susan. When he was 15 he went to work with his father at carpentering.
At that time most of the work was done by hand. Doors, sash, blinds, etc., were
all made by hand. He worked with his father until he was 21, the last two years
in company with him, he having given him his time. In 185 1 they dissolved part-
nership and he went to Marlboro, N. H. ; worked there and in Keene, N. H., at his
trade, and other kinds of business, such as makmg doors, sash, blinds, clothes-pins,
etc. The summer of 1857 he spent in Iowa, Wisconsin and Illinois. In the fall he
returned to N. H., and worked at his trade until 1862, when he went to work for
John Humphrey making jjatterns. Afterwards, when the Humphrey Machine Co.
was formed, he was a member of the company and director for ten years. He was
sent out to set up water wheels, saw mills and pail, clothes-pin and peg machinery,
etc. He helped make the patterns for and superintended the putting in of the
largest turbine water wheel in the United States. It was 8 ft. and 4 in. in diameter,
and cost, including flume, $11,000. It was put in for the Tremont & Suffolk Co., at
Lowell, Mass. Soon after going to Keene in 1862, he joined the Deluge Engine
Company, and was soon promoted to foreman. In 1874 he was appointed ass't
engineer, and it was during the time that he held that position that a dangerous
fire broke out in Clark's block, and it was his privilege to be the means of saving
the first Cong, church from destruction. In 1886 he was appointed chief of the fire
department, which place he held until 1889, when he sold his interest in the
Humphrey Machine Co. , and other property, and went to Denver, Colo. , where he
had friends. He worked there and in Salt Lake City some over three years, and
then returned to Keene on account of sickness in his family. Again he entered the
employment of the Humphrey Machine Co., where he remained until the present
time. In 1870 he was appointed jailor of Cheshire Co., and served five years. He
was sexton of the Second Cong, church four years, and of the First Cong, church
fourteen years, nineteen years in all. He has never used tobacco or intoxicating
liquors in any form whatever; res. Keene, N. H.

derness and at a private academy in Lowell, Mass. Studied law in Lowell and
was admitted to the bar in Worcester, Mass., by Judge Pliney Merrick. He began
the practice of his profession in Lowell, Mass., where he remained for one year;
then moved to Carthage, Hancock Co., 111., where he remained for twenty years,
finally returning in 1882 to Lowell, Mass. While residing in Illinois he held many
minor offices, such as inspector of elections, warden, school committee, in the church
as one of the examining committee and one of the board of assessors ; was for some
time superintendent of the Sunday school and a teacher. He often wrote for the
newspapers in his vicinity, the Chicago and Boston papers. For several years he
was school commissioner and county superintendent of schools. He was at one
time captain of an independent military company and during the war acted as
enrolling officer. He is a Mason and member of the Congregational church. Is

Sept. 8, 1824; m. Stanstead, Oct. 26, 1847, Hannah L. Rogers, b. Oct. 29, 1829.
Milton J. Bachelder was born in Hatley Sept. 8, 1824, of Jethro Bachelder and Esther
Smith, his wife. He is the youngest of four children, and perhaps for this reason
remained on the old homestead, the elder brother and sisters having married and
settled elsewhere before his marriage to Hannah L. Rogers, daughter of Philip and
Louisa Rogers, of Stanstead, Oct. 26, 1847, to whom were born Ella R., who mar-
ried J. W. Whitcomb; M. Louisa, who married John P. Bowen, and Julia A., who
died in infancy. He is a prosperous farmer and stock breeder of some prominence,
and prize winner at agricultural exhibitions. In politics he is a staunch conservative
and champion of the cause of right and fair play. In educational matters he always
took an active interest, holding the position of trustee of Hatley Academy after the
resignation of his father, until the school passed into the hands of the municipal
school commissioners and became a model school. The family are members of St.
James Episcopal Church, in which he has ever manifested a lively interest and for
many years acceptably filled the position of warden, and has aided very generously
in its maintenance. In the shadow of this church lie the mortal remains of his father
and mother and nearly all the near relatives of the family. In social life he is
quiet and unassuming, preferring the quiet of domestic life to the turmoil and strife
of public life, consequently he never accepted any official position more arduous
than that of justice of the peace for the district in which he resides. He owns the
family homestead, which was transferred to him by his father in 1846, and since
resided there, a kind and obliging neighbor and sincere friend, and sympathizer
with those in trouble. Res. Hatley, P. Q.

res. H. Shortly after his marriage he settled in Compton town-
ship, within three miles of the Bachelder homestead, where they
still reside. They have three sons born to them: Harrv B., b.
Jan. 29, 1878; Ralph R., b. Sept. 28, 1884, and Charles G. H., b.
April 29, 1886, all of whom are living. Mr. Whitcomb is the third
son of Joseph Whitcomb, who at the age of eight years came to
Hatley from the State of New York, and Sarah Jackson his wife,
whose family moved to this township from New Hampshire during
her childhood. J. Wesley Whitcomb is a prosperous farmer and
stockbreeder of some note, his specialty being short-horn cattle.
He is a man who does not aspire to public life but rather to a quiet
domestic life in the bosom of nis family.

daughter: Arthur Milton, b. Aug. 13, 1882; Oscar R., b. May i,

all of whom are living. The subject of this sketch is the eldest
son of Benj. F. Bowen, of Compton township, whose parents came
from the State of New York and were among the pioneers of
Compton county, and Mary Ann Putney, his first wife, who was
the only daughter of Caleb and Betsey Putney, who came to the
same township early in the present century and whose ancestors
originated from England and settled in the State of Vermont
about one hundred years ago. Mr. Bowen is a farmer by occu-
pation and a man who takes a keen interest in all matters pertain-
ing to the welfare of the town and county in which he lives and
to the Church of England, of which the family are members.

maritime operations more than any other and should more properly be classed as a
ship owner. He was an extensive owner of ships, so much so that, while never
in command of a vessel, was always addressed as Captain Batchelder.

He first went to California in the spring of 1850 — just too late to be a "pioneer."
After engaging in business between San Francisco and Puget Sound, he went to
Shanghai, China, and there built and owned the first large steamship con-
structed on the China coast. About the time of the launch of this steamship he
gained great reputation by performing the apparently impossible task of raising the
fine British steamer, "Ajax," accidentally sunk in the main channel of the Shanghai
anchorage. Although the task was considered so difficult that he received $60,000
for its accomplishment the steamer was afloat and the channel cleared in four days.
At the breaking out of the Civil War in Japan he went from China to the latter
country in the service of the Mikado, transporting the imperial troops in his vessels.
His residence in Tokio was leased by the U. S. government for use as a legation
residence of its minister at the Japanese court. He was a man of marked ability,
who added additional lustre to the American reputation for pluck, energy and enter-
prise in the far east. He died from sunstroke m the summer of 1883, at Hakone,
just after winning a suit against the Japanese government for the seizure of one of
his steamers during the war. He d., Hakone Mountains, Japan, Aug. 16, 1883;

visiting most of the noted ports of India, China, Africa and Madagascar, making
some twenty voyages to San Francisco around Cape Horn. Was chief officer of a
Salem bark at Monterey, Cal. , in 1845, when Commodore Sloat hoisted the American
flag and took possession of the country; also has visited the Sandwich, Society and
Navigators' and many other islands in the Pacific ocean and about every port of note
on the west coast of America, from Vancouver to Valparaiso. Twenty years in two
ships, six in one and fourteen in the other. The last one was burnt in Valparaiso
harbor; ship and freight fully insured for $72,000 (seventy-two thousand dollars) paid

Daniel B. Stevens, b. Aug. 5, 1830 (see). John B. Batchelder was born in Gil-
manton, and died in Hyde Park, Mass. He is well known as the government
historian of the Battle of Gettysbiirg. Shortly after the battle he went on to the
field by order of the United States auhorities and began what proved his life work,
for he had ever since been collating the facts and writing out the history of this
conflict. It fills thousands of pages and is unfinished. He had traversed the
field day after day, and from personal interviews with the men engaged on both
sides in that battle he could tell any combatant just where his place was in that
great struggle. He could point out the actual place that every regiment. Union or
Confederate, occupied in the great struggle. Beside the writing he has done for
the government, he is the author of several publicatfons, including, "The Illustrated
Tourist's Guide," "Gettysburg; What to See and How to See It," "Geometrical
Drawing of the Gettysburg Battlefield," "Historical Paintings of the Battle of
Gettysburg," "Last Hours of Lincoln," and "Popular Resorts and How to Reach
Them." Colonel Batchelder has resided in Hyde Park about twenty years. Col-
onel Batchelder married in early life. At his death he was a director of the Gettys-
burg Battlefield Memorial Association, which was incorporated in 1 864-1 865 and
1885. He d. Dec. 22, 1894; res. Hyde Park, Mass.

Littleton, N. H., Dec. 31, 1S66; dau. of Benjamin. Otis Batchelder, who was born
in Bath, N. H., was apprenticed to Peter Bonney, an early settler of Littleton,
N. H., and a man of wealth who carried on quite a business for those times — in
leather — tanning, currying, harnessmaking and shoemaking. He lived with Mr.
Bonney some years, and then married Lucretia Labaree, of Charlestown, N. H., and
settled in Bedford, N. H., where his children were born. In 1836, he bought the
old Peter Bonney "stand" in Littleton and moved there in the spring of 1S37 and
carried on the leather business. About i860 he disposed of this and kept a shoe
store as long as he did business. His early advantages were limited. He was,
however, a bright, shrewd, intelligent man, and handsome withal, and full of fun
and geniality. When his dark eyes began to twinkle as he talked, you might be
sure that some drollery would be brought out. He d. May 28, 1860; res. Littleton,

2717. i. JANE MOORE, b. July 28, 1825; m. Jan. 24, 1847, Charles White

Rand; res. 117 Falmouth street, Boston, Mass., s. p. lawyer.
Charles White Rand, son of Hamlin Rand, a prominent business
man of Grafton County, was born in Bath, July 5, iSig. He was
graduated at Wesleyan University in 1841, standing second in his
class, his brother, the late Judge E. D. Rand, having first place.
After leaving college, he entered the office of Hon. Henry A. Bel-
lows, in Littleton, and was admitted to the bar three years later.
He opened an office in Littleton, where he continued in the prac-
tice of his profession until his death.

Mr. Rand came to the bar thoroughly equipped for his work.
He was uncommonly well grounded in the principles of the law, and
he had acquired in college, and as a student of law, habits of in-
dustry which were to last through life. His mind was cultivated
and enriched by constant and varied reading of the best authors,
and he retained to the end, and found opportunities to gratify, his
fondness for general literature to an extent quite uncommon
among those whose time is largely engrossed by the demands of
a professional business. His work was always well and conscien-
tiously done. He was among the foremost equity lawyers at the
bar of the state. He was appointed by President Lincoln United
States District Attorney for New Hampshire, a position he held
for nearly ten terms. He brought to the discharge of his duties
in this position, such industry, patience and knowledge of consti-
tutional law as to facilitate the dispatch of business and secure the
rights of the government which he represented. In his domestic
and social relations Mr. Rand was particularly fortunate and
happy. He married, June 24, 1847, Jane M., daughter of the late
Otis Batchelder, who survives him. He was very companionable,
fond of a good story, and delighted in the discussion of his favorite
authors. He seldom if ever lost a friend, and won and retained
the confidence of all who came in contact with him. He d. Aug.

Mass., daily paper has the following: "Mrs. Sarah Ann (Hale), widow of the late
Stephen J. Batchelder, who died Sunday evening in Haverhill, Mass., was born in
Exeter Sept. 13, 1812. She was the oldest of nine children, two of whom, a brother
at Wilmington, Mass., and a sister at Whitinsville, Mass., survive her. She became
a Christian in early life, and before her marriage united with the Baptist church at
Exeter, transferring her membership to the Merrimack street Baptist church of this
city, after her removal here in 1845. She was married to Stephen J. Batchelder, of
Deerfield, April 14, 1833. After forty-three years of wedded life Mr. Batchelder
died May 4, 1876, leaving Mrs. Batchelder and six children, two sons and four
daughters, to mourn his loss, one daughter having died before him. Her home
continued to be in Manchester, her daughter Sarah living with her, until an injury
received by the daughter necessitated the breaking up of the home some nine years
ago. After the brief time spent with relatives she and her daughter went to Haver-
hill, and have since made their home with her daughter, Mrs. Frederick Knowlton,
at 13 Davenport street. Having lived in Manchester over forty years she was anxious
to attend the semi-centennial celebration here in September last, but was prevented
by ill health. It was a pleasure to her, however, to wear one of the badges at home.
As a wife and mother she was faithful and devoted, a kind neighbor and friend,
a sincere Christian. She was fond of music, instrumental and vocal, and was a
good singer. Two years ago she had a severe illness and since that time her health
has been poor. Her last illness was of just two weeks' duration. Her daughter
Sarah has been devoted in her care for her mother, while all the daughters were
able to administer to her needs during her last days. Her children are Mrs. G. W.
Cilley, Norwich, Conn. ; J. Warren Batchelder, Dorchester, Mass. ; Stephen H.
Batchelder, Manchester, and Mrs. N. B. Dickey, Mrs. Knowlton and Miss Sarah
Batchelder, of Haverhill. She also leaves nine grandchildren and three great-
grandchildren, besides other relatives and friends." He d. May 4, 1876. Res.

as adjutant-general of the army. ) He was made a captain of cavalry June 28, 1862.
He was with the army of the Potomac until after the battle of Antietam, when he
retired on account of disabilities. He has since that time always kept up his
acquaintance with officers of the regular army. He served in twenty-one different

four years ago to visit some officers at Fort Sill for the purpose of hunting ; became
interested in the country and he has taken a very active part in building and accumu-
lating real estate; as a public man he is a member of the governor's staff (aide de

BATCHELDER GENEALOGY. 313

1982. JOHN PICKERING BATCHELDER (Timothy, Simon, David, Simon,
Stephen, Nathaniel, Nathaniel, Stephen), b. Deerfield, N. H., Jan. 18, 1835; m. at
Alienstown March 24, 1858, Betsey B. Harden, b. Dec. 2, 1834. John Pickering
was the second child born to Timothy and Mary B. Batchelder; his birth took place
in the old Batchelder homestead in Alienstown. His father for many years kept the
hotel in Deerfield, just over the Alienstown line. In those days of the' stage coach
the immediate vicinity of the place where he grew to manhood presented at times
animated and impressive scenes. The great industry was the manufacture of shoes.
Nearly every dwelling house had its little shoe shop attached in which were em-
ployed from one to a dozen men engaged in making shoes. The women, too, were
not idle. Lucy Larcom in her poem of "Hannah at the Window Binding Shoes,"
has drawn the picture of that part which the women took in affairs in this little
settlement, as it then existed. These products of industry were freighted over the
road to Haverhill, Mass., and other places by what was known as the "freighter,"
a functionary cracking his long lash whip around the ears of his four or six spirited
horses and dashing down those steep and rocky descents for which old New Hamp-
shire is famous, was looked upon as a mighty man. His coming was eagerly looked
forward to, for he was "banker" as well as "freighter." These shoes were what
they then called "pegged" work, that is, the soles were fastened to the uppers with
long wooden pegs, and it was all hand work. High prices were obtained for making
these shoes and there was always work for everybody. Now this entire locality, in
common with other New Hampshire towns which depended upon this industry,
presents a lamentable deterioration. The style of shoes and the methods of making
them have entirely changed. The great centers of manufacture, with their wealth
and improved machinery, have drawn to themselves not only the business of making
shoes, but they have drawn along with it many of these very families as well, the
descendants of which to this very day pursue there the calling of their ancestors.
Today, as one drives through that abandoned settlement, how strongly comes to
mind with all its sweet grewsomeness Goldsmith's "Deserted Village." Reared
amongst such surroundings it was but natural that the boy should at an early age
turn his attention to learning the trade of a shoemaker. He started out to do this
at the age of fourteen years. It was said no one in that locality could make as
fine a shoe as he. For fifteen years he continued in this business, part of the time
employing men to work for him and making considerable money. In 1857 he
married Betsey Brown, daughter of Israel and Rachel Marden, of Alienstown, a
lady noted throughout the community in which she lived for her gracious and noble
qualities of heart and mind. At this time John Tim, as he was always called, and
his brother Horace, owned the old Batchelder homestead; they fitted it up and
moved in with their families. Here were born two sons. About thirty years ago
he purchased the Clarke estate on the main road in Alienstown, situated five miles
from the village of Suncook, where he and his esteemed wife are still living.
Shortly after the purchase of the Clark estate the Suncook Valley Railroad was
built, a road which runs from Hooksett to Pittsfield. It became necessary to employ
a man to carry the mails from the Alienstown depot to the postoffice, a distance of
a little over two miles. Mr. Batchelder's bid was accepted and he has ever since
been in the employ of the government in this capacity. In all the years he has
carried the mails he has never missed getting through in time to connect with the
train, although many times in winter, on account of the deep snow, he has been
obliged to walk through, carrying the mail bag the entire distance, as no horse
could have got through the drifts. He has made many changes and improvements
in his buildings, and now has one of the finest homes in that part of the country,
to which he is very much attached, never having been away from home to be gone
over night for twenty-five years. In his younger days he was called a very hand-
some man, and today, with his sixty-two years, one would not hesitate to place
his age twenty years under what it really is. Within two miles of where he was
born he has always lived. Although he has never traveled, yet he has friends far
and near, and this because of the proverbial good cheer with which he greets every
one. Res. Alienstown, N. H.

Nathaniel, Nathaniel, Stephen), b. Laconia, N. H., Dec. 29, 1851; m. Oct. 17, 1882,
Abbie E. Bartlett, b. Aug. 19, 1859. John F. Batchelder was born in Laconia,
N. H., on the old homestead, and received not only a common school education,
but, under the tuition of a private teacher, became familiar with many of the
branches of education taught in an academy. It was designed by his parents that
he should take a course at law, but the young man did not agree with them, and at
the age of 18 apprenticed himself with Judge O. A. J. Vaughan, of Laconia, the
proprietor and editor of the "Laconia Democrat," to learn the printer's trade, he
Ijoarding with his employer. Judge Vaughan, who was a prominent lawyer and
politician, was a man of strong literary tastes, and possessed a large and well
selected library, in addition to his law library. The apprentice was treated as one
of the family, attending with them the First Congregational church, and spent most
of his time in acquainting himself with the contents of Judge Vaughan's books. In
his second year the Judge, feeling the necessity of having someone at his office
evenings, furnished a small room adjoining his law library, and there the young man
slept. During this year he read Blackstone, Kent's commentaries, Chitty on Plead-
ing, Greenlief on Evidence, etc. At the close of his second year, desiring to learn
job work and not seeing much chance in the Democrat office, he left Judge
Vaughan's employ, and engaged himself with Fred H. Coffin, job printer, where he
finished his third year. At this time. Judge Vaughan's foreman leaving, Mr.
Batchelder returned to the Democrat as its foreman. Two years later he left his
position to take charge of the Pittsfield Star, a paper printed at Pittsfield, N. H.
Not liking this place, after a few months he left and went to Haverhill, Mass.,

*As the reader will see this family is misplaced by mistake. It should have been in former
generation on page 256.

and from there to Lawrence, Mass., where he assumed the position of foreman of
the news department of the Lawrence Sentinel. In course of a year his health
failed him, and, warned by his physicians, he gave up printing and learned the
machinist's trade with N. H. Baldwin, of Laconia. From there he went to work
for S. T. Thomas, and then for W. H. Abel & Co., where he remained until 1882.
During this time he espoused the cause of Democracy, and was appointed high-
way surveyor, clerk of School District No. 7, chairman of the board of supervisors
of election. He also received the nomination as fourth representative to the legis-
lature. This he declined, and removed to Boston, Mass., where he married Abbie
E. Bartlett, daughter of Steven B. Bartlett, of Epsom, N. H. In 1883, he moved
to Concord, N. H., where he now lives, working at his trade in the machine
shops of the B. & M. R. R. Co. After his removal to Concord, he became interested
in the labor movement and united himself with the Knights of Labor, from which
he afterwards withdrew to become a charter member of Mt. Washington Lodge,
No. 276, International Association of Machinists, holding every office of importance
in the gift of the lodge. He has been elected continuously as its representative
to the Central Labor Union, of which he has served as its vice-president ; three
times as its president, and at present as its financial secretary and chairman of its
board of managers. He was also four times elected as its representative to the
State Labor Council, over which he served two terms as president. He is also-
organizer of the American Federation of Labor for New Hampshire. In the last
election he received the nomination of the Ward 5 Democracy for selectman, and
though defeated, ran ahead of his ticket. He is a member of the First Baptist
church of Concord, and of its Chrisian Endeavor Society, of which he was president
in 1895. He is a member of Harmony Colony of Pilgrim Fathers, and also of the
R. R. Young Men's Christian Association. He and his wife, who is Worthy Com-
mander of Concord Lodge of the Order of the Golden Cross, and a Pomona deg.

improved farm on Section 14, White River township, is one of the heroic defenders
of the old flag, to whose courage we owe the liberty of which our country boasts.
He is the son of John D. and Bessie (Brockway) Batchelder, natives of Vermont,
who came to Michigan nearly sixty-three years ago, and settled in Yorkville at a period
so early in the history of that now thriving place that even the most prophetic eye
could scarcely have discerned its present prosperity. Some time after settling in
Galesburg, the stepmother of our subject was killed by a tornado, the mother of our
subject dying when he was seven months old. To the second union four children
were born. His father afterward married again. From Yorkville he went to Gales-
burg, and from Galesburg he moved to Nebraska. By the death of his mother,
when onlj' seven months old he went to live with relatives in Malone, N. Y., who
reared him as their own child. Until he was 1 7 years old he supposed they were
his own parents. He received an excellent education, both common and academic,
and entered Albion College. At the age of 23 he was foreman of the Lansing &
Grand Traverse R. R. , but after working in that capacity for a short time, he re-
signed and proceeded to Saginaw, where he worked in a mill until the commence-
ment of the Civil War. Nov. 16, 1861, the name of William D. Batchelder was
enrolled as a member of Company D, 12th ^Michigan Infantry, and as a private in
the ranks he participated in the battles of Shiloh, Corinth, luka, Tallahatchie, and
all the engagements of Gens. Prentiss and John A. Logan's divisions, up to and
including JMiddleburg. After a year's active service he was appointed on detached
service in the Fifth Ohio Heavy Artillery, stationed at Duvall's Bluff and Little
Rock, Ark. Later he was transferred to the 2d ^Missouri Light Artillery, and with
this regiment saw some active fighting at White River. He was especially fortu-
nate, for he was neither wounded nor imprisoned during the entire period of his
service, covering three years and three months. He was discharged m 1865 in
Arkansas, and after a short sojourn in Albion went to Muskegon County and
purchased a farm, where he has since resided. He is connected with the G. A. R. ,
and is prominently identified with it. Through economy and industry he has suc-
ceeded in gaining a competency and is highly esteemed and respected. Res. Mon-

BATCHELDER GENEALOGY.

321

July 26, 1894, Mrs. Amelia Cronsio. James H. Batchelder, the subject of this sketch,
was born on the old Batchelder homestead, in Plainfield, Vt. When but five years
of age, his parents removed to Marshfield, Vt., and resided there until 1862,
when they removed to Barre village, Vt. There were few advantages in those
days for an education, and the tame life on the farm was to him a wearisome one.
Two months of school in the summer and two or three months in the winter, was

HON. JAMES HENRY BATCHELDER.

the extent in those days. This and three years of school in Barre Academy, were
the limit of the advantages received. In 1864 occurred his marriage with Miss
Phoebe H. Gove, of Lincoln, Vt., by which three children were born: Mary, who
died in infancy ; Mark D. Batchelder, now of Atlanta, Ga. , and Florence A., who
married Charles C. Mitchell, of Peoria, 111. After his marriage he spent one year
on the farm in Marshfield, Vt., and in 1867 engaged in the mercantile business and
later in the lumber trade, as a manufacturer and wholesale dealer, with mills in

322 BATCHELDER GENEALOGY.

Michigan and yards in Vermont and Boston, Mass. This business was continued
until 1878. Mr. Batchelder was, in 1876 and 1877, a member of the Vermont legisla-
ture, and in Vermont held different offices of trust. In 1879 he located in Chicago,
removing from there to St. Louis, Mo., in 1884, and then engaged in the manufacture
of strawboard fillers for egg cases and boxes of all kinds, with lumber and box mills
at Helena, Ark., and stores in St. Louis, Kansas City, Chicago. This business he
continued until 1890. His was the first box mill built south of Cairo, 111. In 1893,
Mr. Batchelder located in Tama, la., purchasing mills at that place for making paper,
and, rebuilding the same, has now a paper mill of 24,000 lbs. capacity daily of
strawboard, and then this is all manufactured by his company into egg case fillers,
making the largest factory of its kind in the world. Mr. Batchelder is also the
inventor of a machine for making the egg case fillers, which takes the strawboard
paper in the roll and cuts, punches and slots 700 pieces per minute and puts them
together in a perfect cell rack, as used in boxes for packing eggs. This device does
the labor of a hundred employes. Mr. Batchelder employs 200 people in his
factory. Res. Tama City, la.

1832; m. Thompson, Conn., Nov. 13, 1S53, Sarah Arnold Turner, b. Smithfield,
R. I., June 23, 1834. William W. Batchelder, the son of Parley and Alzada Batch-
elder, was born in Providence. R. I., March 19, 1832. He moved from the city at
an early age and returned in 1855. Having learned the carpenter's trade, he contin-
ued in that business until 1866, when he became associated with Dexter Gorton
under the firm name of Dexter Gorton & Co., contractors and builders. The firm
was dissolved in iSSi, Mr. Gorton retiring and Mr. Batchelder forming a co-partner-
ship with William A. Chapman, under the firm name of William A. Chapman &
Co., mill builders. Mr. Batchelder was elected to the common council from the
Eighth ward in 1885-1886, and in 1887 to the board of aldermen, and from the
Seventh ward to the common council from 1888 till 1893. During that time he ser\^ed
on several important committees, and was chairman of the committee on city
property for four years. He represented the Builders' and Traders' Exchange of
Providence at the National Convention of Builders, held in Cleveland O., in 1892,
in St. Louis, Mo., in 1893 and in Boston in 1894, and was elected president of the
exchange in 1895-6. He is also a member of the Congregational, the West Side
and Pomham Clubs. Res. Providence, R. I., 203 Harrison street.

1846; m. Elmira, N. Y., 1882, Fanny Gulich. Loren H. Batchelder, A. M., was
born in Montpelier, Vt. He prepared for college at the Montpelier graded school
and the Vermont Methodist seminary, alternating his study with teaching in the
public schools of the state. He was graduated from Middlebury College in the class
of 1874. After graduation he was elected professor of mathematics and chemistry
in the collegiate institute at Hackettstown, New Jersey, where he remained seven

BATCHELDER GENEALOGY. 323

years, acting most of the time as vice-president. After his resignation, he removed
to Trenton, N. J., where he was soon admitted to the bar, having prosecuted his
law studies while at Hackettstown. Not intending to enter upon the practice of
law, he now devoted himself to special preparation for a college professorship, and
early in 1883 was elected professor of physical science in Hamline University, St.
Paul, Minn., which position he still occupies. vSoon after assuming this position he
was elected vice-president of the institution, and later, when other departments of
the university were organized, he was made dean of the college of liberal arts. He
has been for eight years professor of general and analytical chemistry in the sum-
mer school of the Chautauqua College of Liberal Arts at Chautauqua, N. Y. , and is
conducting the school of physical sciences of the Chautauqua College, department
of correspondence work, and is a lecturer in the Chautauqua University Extension
Courses. He is also in frequent demand as a lecturer on scientific and other
subjects; is this year (1897) the president of the college section of the Minnesota
State Teachers' Association, vice-president of the Vermont Association of Minne-
apolis (a social organization for good fellowship and reunions of the Green Mountain
Boys), and is a member of the Masonic fraternity.

While Prof. Batchelder is a progressive and devoted student of the physical
sciences, he still, by way of relaxation, or, as he says, to keep himself out of ruts,
gives every year considerable time to the science of law, and in this connection, he
delivers to the senior class of the university a course of lectures on Constitutional
Law. Prof. Batchelder was married in 1882, to Miss Fanny Gulick, daughter of
Rev. J. G. Galick, of Elmira, N. Y. Res. St. Paul, Minn.

1856. He was born on the old homestead on Taunton Hill, in the east part of

BATCHELDER GENEALOGY.

Andover, N. H., now known as "Highland Home." His is a typical New England
farm house, and the location, which is about a mile and a quarter from the railroad
station at East Andover, is one of the most beautiful in Merrimack County, over-
looking the silvery waters of Highland lake, and commanding delightful views in
many directions, embracing some magnificent mountain scenery m which Kear-
sage. Ragged, Monadnock, and Ossipee mountains are prominent features. The
farm was settled and cleared from the wilderness by Capt. Josiah Bachelder, from
the town of Hawke, now Danville, who located there in 1782. He (Nahum) was
educated at the public schools, at Franklm Academy and at the New Hampton
Institution. After a short experience m teaching he applied himself energetically
to practical agriculture. He was for a time quite extensively engaged in market
gardening. Subsequently he gave his attention to choice dairying, with much suc-
cess, supplying some of the leading hotels in the state with "gilt edge" butter. He
identified himself with the Patrons of Husbandry early in its history in New Hamp-
shire. He was for four years master of his local grange and for eight years secre-
tary of the State Grange, until elected master in i8gi. As secretary he accomplished
great progress, and as master carried forward the work with unprecedented success.
He was the charter lecturer of Merrimack County Pomona Grange, and secretary of
the New Hampshire Grange State Fair Association from its organization in 18S6,
with the exception of a single year, until January, 1S96, when he declined a re-
election, and to his systematic, and indefatigable labors the remarkable success of
the Association has been largely due.

Among the members of the National Grange Mr. Bachelder holds high rank,
and his influence is strongly felt. He was chiefly instrumental in securing the
session of that body in 1892 for ihis state, and for New England again at Worcester,
in November, 1895, where his ability and influence were duly recognized by his
selection as a member of the executive committee of that great organization.

As commissioner of immigration, to which office he was appointed by Governor
Goodell, and whose duties have since been merged with those of secretary of the
Board of Agriculture, he has done much to bring about the re-occupation of the
abandoned farms of the state, and as a member of the State Cattle Commission, he
has been active and alert in checking the inroads of disease. He has taken an
active part as a speaker at the institute meetings of the Board, discussing dairying
and other topics in an entertaining manner. His general addresses at Grange field
meetings and other large gatherings have gained him a wide reputation as an
eloquent and interesting speaker; while his annual reports as secretary of the Board
of Agriculture, his addresses as master of the State Grange, and his frequent con-
tributions to the press, upon agricultural and grange topics, stamp him as a ready
and forcible writer.

Mr. Bachelder is a Republican in politics, but by no means a politican. He has
never sought public office, and has held none, aside from that in connection with
the board of agriculture, e.xcept that of superintending school committee for three
years in the Democratic town of Andover. In 1891, the degree of Master of Arts
was conferred upon him by Dartmouth College. Res. East Andover, N. H.

children, was born in Hallowell, Maine,
in the house built by his grandfather,
Nathan Bachelder, July 14, 1845; began
attending the public schools at five or
six years of age ; after leaving the public
schools he attended Hallowell academy
for two years. He had a severe illness
in the spring and summer of 1863 from
the effects of which he never wholly re-
covered. His lungs being delicate from
this sickness, he went to Cuba in the
winter of '63 and '64 hoping to receive
benefit from the mild climate. For the
succeeding three years he followed the
sea. On July 4, 1867, he was off Cape
Horn in the ship "Fearless," commanded
by Capt. John H. Drew, of Farming-
dale, Me. Reaching San Francisco he
left the ship on account of having suf-
fered severely from hemorrhages and
remained in California about a year.
Again returning home he found himself
unable to bear the rigors of a New En-
gland winter. This time he went to
Winona, Minnesota, where he regained
health and strength in a great measure.

education. He afterwards attended the Bryant & Stratton Business College at Hart-
ford, from which he graduated in 1S64. He soon after removed to Norwich
and took up his residence in Greeneville, and has since been an adopted citizen.
For several years Mr. Bachelder was engaged in the retail boot and shoe

business on Main street as a
member of the successful firm of
Bidwell & Bachelder, now known
as Bidwell Bros. For some years
he has been a quiet but active
worker in politics, and since 1889
has been a Republican. In 1887
he was appointed post office in-
spector by President Cleveland
and attached to the New York
division, on which he served un-
til he tendered his resignation in
1890. While in the service his
indefatigable and clever work
won him the praise of the public
and press, as many of the cap-
tures effected proved him to be
one of the most successful thief
catchers in the postal service.
The evidence of his skill was
significantly demonstrated by
the fact that he was detailed on
the most intricate cases and many
of them out of his district.

Mr. Bachelder is now serving
his fourth year and second term
as clerk in the office of the select-
men, in which position he is of
great value to the board. He
has also been twice mentioned
and once nominated for first se-
lectman. Probably no man was
ever more familiar with the work-
ings of town affairs than he.
Outside of his duties as clerk of
the selectmen he holds the po-
sition of business manager of the
Broadway theater, and is also assistant manager and representative of the Equitable
Life Assurance Society of the United States. He is as well a representative of the
London Guarantee Liability Insurance Company. These companies, of which he
has the agency in his locality, stand high, and business placed with him insures
prompt payments of losses. Mr. Bachelder's duties bring him into contact with all
classes of people, and his face is accordingly familiar to most residents of the city
and town. He is a Knight Templar Mason. Also agent of the Security Mutual
Life Association of Bingham pton, N. Y., and Germania Fire of New York. Res.

(Pike), b. March 19, 1870. He has charge of all the office work connected with the
Goodall Worsted Co., manufacturers of yarns, dress goods, serges, etc., which
employs 450 persons. Some years ago he was promoted to the position of assistant
superintendent of this establishment, but was more particularly connected with
the yarn department, and had little or nothing to do with the weaving department.
Since a severe illness three or four years ago he has given up having any special
responsibility inside the mill, and confines his work very largely to the office, giving
especial attention to the financial affairs and credits as an assistant to the treasurer.
Previous to his present situation he was assistant foreman (his brother. Cyrus,
foreman) of a job printing and tag manufacturing establishment, and before' that
was head compositor, job department foreman, and general "devil" in a country
newspaper office in Gorham, N. H. He commenced to learn the printing business
in 1881, and, with exception of schooling, a short time in a foundry (iron), in a
store as clerk and then on his own account, continued in the printing business,
most of the time with his brother Cyrus, at Lancaster, N. H., Gorham, N. H., and
Sanford, Me., until 1891, when he commenced with the Goodall Worsted Co., where
he has been ever since. Res. s. p. Sanford, Me.

obscure but picturesque part of the obscure little town of Allenstown, N. H., in the
same dwelling house in which for three generations back his ancestors were born
and reared, on the 23d day of March. 1S61, there was born James Cochran, the sec-
ond son of John Pickering and Betsey Brown Batchelder. When he was about
three years of age his father bought what was known as the Clark estate, situated
on the main road between Concord and Portsmouth, and two miles from the old
homestead of the Batchelders. Here, looking out upon miles of delightful rural
scenery, with his parents dwelt this young man until his eighteenth year. Eagerly
pursuing his studies in the excellent school of the district in which he lived, and
these supplemented by the exacting tutoring of his uncle, the late George W. Ela,
one of the most distinguished scholars in New Hampshire, he made rapid progress
in the studies which were to be of use to him in after life. Like most ambitious
boys residing in country places, he, in his eighteenth year, began to feel that the
great world beyond the encircling hills of his little town must needs give him a
wider scope for the professional career which even long before then his youthful
mind had pictured. Others felt so too. Among the foremost to extend a helping
hand was the late Brice S. Evans, of Boston, Mass., a wealthy and munificent
gentleman, himself a native of Allenstown. Through his interestedness the young
man secured a position in an office in Lynn, Mass. ; here devoting his spare time to
reading law in the office of a well known lawyer, Nathan D. A. Clarke, Esq. He
met with much encouragement from him to continue his studies. Mr. Clarke,
with his clear, keen and anylitical mind, coupled with his boundless enthusiasm for
his profession, left the impress of his teaching upon his pupil. Later on an oppor-
tunity presented itself for him to attend the Boston University Law School, which
he did, attending there three full years, and upon graduating was admitted to the
Suffolk bar, since which time he has been engaged in a general law practice in
Lynn, where he has lived for seventeen years. Mr. Batchelder has traveled exten-
sively, not only in his own country, but he has visited the best parts of Europe as
well. In 1889 he visited the Pacific coast, and in 1891 and in 1893 he visited Europe.
He recalls his California trip as being the most satisfactory trip he ever took,
because it was in consequence of taking it that he met the lady who afterwards
became his wife. The Unitarian church in Lynn, of which for many years he has
been one of the trusteees, is the church in which his interest centers. In politics he
takes no active part, never having sought or held any political office. Early in life
he broke away from what he considered the erroneous political belief of his family,
the members of which were all Democrats, and has ever since, with a few excep-
tions, voted .with the Republican party. Mr. Batchelder, on January 8, 1896,
married Marion Hodges, daughter of Captain William H. and Elizabeth H. Jelly, of
the neighboring city of Salem. Since that time they have resided in Salem. Mrs.
Batchelder is descended from one of the old Salem families on her mother's side,
being related to the famous Choate family of Massachusetts. Res. s. p. Lynn,

2. HON. JOSEPH BATCHELLER, b. Canterbury, England; m. in England,
Elizabeth . He was born in England and emigrated to America in 1636, com-
ing from Canterbury. He came with his wife, Elizabeth, one child and three
servants, and brothers Henry and John. He settled first in Salem and later in
Wenham. He was made a freeman in 1637, was deputy to the General Court in
Boston in 1644, being the first representative from the town of Wenham. The
inventory of his estate taken March 31, 1657, is on file in the Salem probate office in
a very mutilated condition. In alist headed "A true roll or list of names, surnames,
and qualities of all such persons who have taken passage from the town and port of
Sandwich for the American plantations, since the last certificate of such passengers
returned into the office of Dover castle. Henry Bachelor of Dover, brewer, and
Martha, his wife, 4 servants. Joseph Bachelor of Canterbury, taylor, and Elizabeth,
his wife, I child, 3 servants. John Bachelor, of Canterbury, taylor." The church
at Wenham was organized Oct. 8, 1644, and Joseph Batcheller was one of the mem-
bers. His wife, Elizabeth, was admitted to membership on the 17th of November,
1644. His brother, John Bachelor, from Canterbury, Kent Co., came to Salem in
the same vessel at the same time. In the record of a case of church discipline in
the Wenham church, occurs this: "In ye mesne space it pleased God to take to
himself brother Batchel. , a man wise, moderate, and very able to be helpful in such
cases." — Church record, pp. 84. "He was a prominent and useful man m the
plantation." — History of Wenham, pp. 28 and 29. "Goodman Batcheller he was
often called. This was a common appellation among the men, about 1640 and
thereabouts, excepting when they addressed their minister, magistrate or any
militia officer of higher grade than lieutenant, to whom they applied the title of
"Mister." "Goodwife" or "Goody" were the terms applied to women excepting
when they addressed the wives of those before mentioned, whom they called
"Madam." and the appelation, Mrs., was placed before names of both married and
unmarried women when it was written. On the inventory it is written that he
died ten years ago, which would make it that he died in 1647. His son, Mark,
settled his estate. Mark Batcheller was appointed administrator of the estate of
his father. Referred to Salem Court to take further order thereon, March, 1657,
Ipswich County -Court. Mark Batcheller, who setled the estate of his father and
mother is to pay his brother John ^15 when he shall accomplish the age of 21 years ;
to his sister Elizabeth ^15, when she shall accomplish the age of 18 years or marry;
and to his sister Hannah ^^15, when she shall accomplish the age of 18 years or
marry. Wenham, Mass., where he resided, was the last of the seven towns in
Essex Co. that was set off from Salem, and is situated about twenty-two miles
northeast of Boston. The general surface of the country is level, the soil fruitful,
well watered and productive. In olden times the village of Wenham was recorded
as remarkable for its quiet Arcadian beauty, and its principal lake has obtained
celebrity for the purity of its waters. The town was incorporated in 1643. Its
settlers and principal inhabitants, like those of most of the older towns, were Puri-
tans, taken from the great middle class of Englishmen, who have always been the
backbone of the nation. Intelligent, religious, hardy and industrious, they were
undoubtedly the best as to character of any emigrants ever brought to this country.
Their influence in shaping the destiny of the nation is apparent in the high rank
Massachusetts has always taken among her sister states. He d. March, 1647; res.

6. i. MARK, b. in Wenham; killed Dec. 19, 1G75. Mark Batchellor was

admitted freeman May 27, 1665. In 1675 King- Philip's War
broke out and continued for two years. It was the princi-
pal struggle made by the Indians for their homes and hunt-
ing grounds. They fought with the energy of despair, and
inflicted many a severe loss upon the "pale faced intruders."
About 600 of the whites were killed and many more severely
• wounded; 13 towns and 600 houses were destroyed; and the ex-
penses of the war have been estimated at $500,000, an enormous
sum for those days, considering the scarcity of money and the
small number of those upon whom the loss fell. But heavy as
were the losses of the feeble colonists, those of the enemy were
still greater. They were routed from their old fastnesses and
their power effectively broken. Their subsequent struggles were
less for victory than revenge. No place was safe, and at no time
were the colonists free from danger. The law of 1676 that each
town should "scout and ward" and clear up the brush along the
ways, "to prevent the skulking of the enemy," was rigorously
obeyed. Farmers carried their arms and ammunition, as well as
implements of husbandry to their fields and some worked while
others were posted as sentinels about the clearing. Members of
the church attended divine worship with their guns and sentinels
paced their rounds about the little edifice while others were listen-
ing to the word. A fortification was raised in every town to
provide against an attack, and often the whole population was
massed in the stockade, while at other times neighbors were
massed in the garrison houses. In the depth of winter a force of
550 men was collected in Massachusetts, and, being joined by re-
inforcements from the Plymouth and Connecticut colonies, they
made a forced march through the snows and over the frozen
ground till they reached, Dec. 19, 1675, a swamp in the country
of the Narragansetts where the Indians had built a fort and gath-
ered their bravest warriors. Notwithstanding that they had
camped out the previous night "with no other covering than a
cold and moist fleece of snow," and had marched 19 miles that
day, wading through the drifts, the troops rushed at once to the
attack. The Indians retreated to the middle of the swamps, where
they had fortified an island, covering five or six acres with
palisades and a hedge nearly a rod thick. "There were two en-
trances, one over a long tree upon a place of water, the other at a
corner," and commanded by a log house in front, and on the left
by "a flanker." At this point an attack was made by the Massa-
chusetts troops, led by Capt. Johnson, who unfortunately fell at the
first fire, with Mark Batcheller. So many of the soldiers were
killed or wounded that they were obliged to retreat. Again, how-
ever, they were rallied by their valiant leaders ; again they rushed
to the charge, carrying block house and flanker and fairly estab-
lishing themselves upon the island. The Indians then retreated to
the middle of the fort, and the whole mass was quickly engaged
in desperate and deadly struggle. The strife was long and bloody,
for the savages outnumbered the whites more than three to one,
but "manifest destin}^" was against them. They were routed,
their wigwams burned and their corn and other stores destroyed
by the flames. Three hundred warriors are said to have been
slain, while as many more were taken prisoners. But this suc-
cess was not purchased without severe loss to the ^Massachusetts
troops, for more than 100 were killed or wounded. Mark Batch-
elder, who was killed, was one of the oldest and most respectable
citizens of Wenham. He belonged to the company commanded
by Capt. Joseph Gardiner, who was killed at the same time as
Mark "Bacheler. " The inventory of his estate is on file in the
Essex probate office at Salem, dated March 2S, 167S. On the back
of the inventory is a deed from executors of Samuel Porter.

BATCHELLER GENEALOGY.

Henry Bachelor, a brewer, from Dover, Co. Kent, came over in 1636, with wife,
Martha and four servants and settled at Ipswich. Died Feb. 2, 1679, and his wife
died April 4, 16S6. It is known that he did not leave any children. In his will he
makes mention of the children of his brother John. His brother Joseph and family
came over with him in 1636. He calls Joseph his youngest brother.

The following data relating to him is taken from the Ipswich town records:

1639. "Granted to Mr. Batcheler sixty acres of upland and twenty of meadow
near Hurttlebury hill" joining upon the land betwixt Ipswich and Rowley upon his
relinquishing of 50 acres, formerly granted to him in the West Meadows and upon
his staying in the town years, to be laid out by John Perkins, Senr., Jo: Tuttle and
John Gage."

"1639, 7th 1 2th. Granted at a general meeting to Edward Browne thirty acres
of upland, adjoining to Rowley line and the southeast end of Mr. Bachelour's farm,
to be laid out bv Mr. Tuttle, Mr. Wilson and the lot-layers."

"In an agreement about the number of cows for each bull" [upon the commons]
"Bacheler" is with 42 other names.

1641. Henry Bachellor is on the list "of such as are comoners."

1047. Edward Browne is allowed to ex-
change his land "near Henry Batcheldours"
to join Joseph Metcalf.

14 Feb., 1664. "Henry Bachelor" had
share No. 13 in the division of Plum-Island,
Castle-Neck, and Hog [now Choote, Rufus

On "a list of those that have right of
commonage according to law and order in this town," "Henry Bachelors farme"
is found.

It appears by the General Court records and the County Court records that he
was of the Society of Friends, aud that he and his wife were often arraigned be-
cause they did not attend the usual public meetings.

March, 1654. "Henry Batcheller, upon his presentment, is discharged and his
wife had a legal admonition and is discharged, paying their fees and charges of the
witnesses."

September, 1660. "Henry Batcheller for his absence from the publique meet-
ings on the Lord's Day is fined for 20 days, ^^5 and fees of court." See also May,
1660.

Subsequently the town of Ipswich were empowered to take their lands from
them and place in trust, because they did not attend the publique worship. The
property w^as placed in the hands of Nathaniel Treadwell and John Warner. These
two persons, with his brother Joseph's son John, settled the estate. His inventory
is dated Feb. 6, 1678.

July, 1679, a list of debts due the estate of Henry Batchelder, of Salem, was
presented to the Probate Court. In the list was John Batchelder ^42 —2—3. The
document mentions his brother John. The inventor^' of his estate was returned
to the Essex Co. Probate Court Sept. 30, 1679. See Vol. 305, p. 173.

Son of John and Agnes, the emigrants who came from Somerset-
shire, Eng., and landed at Gloucester, Mass., in 1624; settled at
Salem 1628. William, brother of John, came over with Endicott
in 162S, and settled at Salem; married Elizabeth Patch, of
Petherton, Eng. Both brothers had quite a no. of children.
Some of both families were born and baptized in England; it is
thought all the Woodburys in this country sprang from these
brothers. In 1630 both families moved to Beverly. Wm. settled
on the seashore at what is now called Woodbury Point, built a

garrison house which stood until 50 years ago. John Conant sur-
veyed 1,000 acres at the head of Bass river. The General Court
gave him a grant of 200 acres from this tract on which he settled.
In the history of Beverly it is stated that John was a member of
the General Court in 1635, and again in 1638. It is stated that he
died in 1641. His age is not given, but probably about 85 years.
He was called "Father Woodbury," a title it is thought might
have been given him as one on whom many leaned for counsel
and advice. He was regarded as standing next to Conant in in-
telligence and usefulness to the colony. His descendants are
numerous, and many still live around the spot that witnessed his
trials. Peter Woodbury was a deacon in the Salem church at the
time of the Witchcraft delusion, and it is related of him that he
kept his horses saddled to assist the persecuted to fly to N. H.

N. H., Dec. 22, 1789, and was admitted to the bar in New Hamp-
shire in 1812. He became a leader of the Democratic party of his
State, was appointed to the Supreme Court of the State m 1816,
elected governor in 1823; speaker of the state house of represen-
tatives in 1825, and served in the United States Senate, 1825 to
"" 1831. He was Secretary of the Navy in 1831, and Secretary of the

Treasury from 1834 to 1841. Again elected to the United States

John Batcheller was one of the jury that tried the famous witchcraft cases in
Salem. With the other members of the Jury, in 1692 he signed a statement asking
forgiveness for the error of their judgment. The Jury had acted in conformity with
their obligations and honest convictions of duty in bringing in their verdicts. They
had sworn to decide according to the law and the evidence. The law under which
they were required to act was laid down with absolute positiveness by the Court.
They were bound to receive it, and to take and weigh the evidence that was admit-
ted, and to their minds it was clear, decisive, and overwhelming, offered by the
persons of good character, and confirmed by a great number of confessions. If it
had been within their province, as it always is declared not to be, to discuss the gen-
eral principles, and set in judgment on the particular penalties of law, it would not
have altered the case, for, at that time, not only the common people, but the wisest
philosophers, supported the interpretation of the law that acknowledged the exis-

tence of witchcraft, and its sanction that visited it with death. Notwithstanding
all this, however, so tender and sensitive were the consciences of the jurors that they
signed and circulated the following humble and solemn declaration of regret for the
part they had borne in the trials. As the publication of this paper was highly
honorable to those who signed it, and cannot but be contemplated with satisfaction
by all their descendants, I will repeat their names: "We whose names are under-
written, being in the year 1692 called to serve as jurors in court at Salem, on trial
of many who were by some suspected guilty of doing acts of witchcraft upon the
bodies of sundry persons, we confess that we ourselves were not capable to under-
stand, nor able to withstand, the mysterious delusions of the powers of darkness
and Prince of the air, but were, for want of knowledge in ourselves and better
information from others, prevailed with to take with such evidence against the
accused, as, on further consideration and better information, we justly fear was
insufficient for the touching the lives of any (Deut. xvii) whereby we fear we have
been instrumental, with others, though ignorantly and unwittingly, to bring upon
ourselves and this people of the Lord the guilt of innocent blood ; which sin the
Lord saith in Scripture he would not pardon (2 Kings xxiv. 4) — that is, we suppose,
in regard to his temporal judgments. "We do therefore hereby signify to all in gen-
eral, and to the surviving sufferers in special, our deep sense of, and sorrow for, our
errors in acting on such evidence to the condemning of any person ; and do hereby
declare, that we justly fear that we were sadly deluded and mistaken — for which we
are much disquieted and distressed m our minds, and do therefore humbly beg
forgiveness, first of God, for Christ's sake, for this our error, and pray that God
would impute the guilt of it to ourselves nor others, and we also pray that we may
be considered candidly and aright by the living sufferers, as being then under a strong
and general delusion, utterly unacquainted with, and not experienced in, matters of
that nature.

"We do hereby ask forgiveness of|you all, whom we have justly offended, and
do declare, according to our present minds, we would none of us do such things
again, on such grounds, for the whole world — praying you to accept of this in way
of satisfacton for our offense, and that you would bless the inheritance of the Lord,
that he may be entreated for the land.

He was an early settler in Reading, the exact place he settled is not known.
His descendants early removed to the northerly part of West Parish, now Reading,
where they are still to be found. He was there as early as 1651. He was a prom-
inent citizen and selectman for years (1651-1664). In 1652, in the drawing of the
town lots, John Bachelder drew ten acres. Feb. 14, 1658, he drew 226 acres on
the north side of Ipswich river. In 1666 he drew land in the division of the Great
Swamp and his minister's rate was £1 — 6 — 5. John and Rebecca Batchelder were
admitted to the church in Reading between Sept. 29, 1648, and 1650.

Feb. 14, 1658, John Batchelder had 226 acres of land, his share as fell by lot
on the north side of Ipswich river. In 1667 the people of Reading ordered and
agreed "that all the privileges of land, timber and commons shall belong unto the
present houses now erected, and to no other, that shall be erected hereafter. " John
Batchelder was one of the fifty-nine householders. He made his will July 2, 1670,

ous town offices. For some years he was town clerk, from 1744 to 1748. With him
began the change in the orthography of the surname. It had been Batcheller, but

iar way in which David wrote his name.

June 17, 1714, he conveyed a certain parcell of land in Wenham to William
Rogers, of Wenham, for thirty-seven shillings. His father left him by will eighteen
acres of upland and meadow, to be laid out of parcell of land which his uncle Mark
owned and lived upon until the time of his death, reserving one acre and house to
Ebenezer.

Swamp in 1666. His minister's rate was ;^i — 6 — 4. In 1686 he was taxed to assist
in paying for land purchased of the Indians. He was one of the largest subscribers
to the fund for building a new meeting house in 1688. Only three others subscribed
a larger sum. He was selectman 1676 — 1702, town clerk, 1694 to 1697.

Oct. 5. 1675, he served in the company commanded by Lieut. William Hasey in
the Third County Troop, and on the above date was credited with i8s 6d for ser-
vice (see Bodge's Soldiers in King Philip's War, p. 276 and Colonial Society Year
Book for 1S96, p. 282). Edward Hutchinson was captain of this company and Jona-
than Poole was cornet. In the military records the name is spelled Batchelor and
Bacheler. His heirs were granted land in the division of Narraganset No. 2, now
Westminster, Mass. At this time, Oct. 17, 1733. John was credited to Maiden, and
the claimant of the land was Wm. Willis, "for the' heirs."

by Capt. Thomas Wheeler. I am of the opinion that he participated in the relief
of Brookfield after having been nearly exterminated by the Indians. On the mili-
tary records the name is spelled Batchelor. He participated in the great Fort Fight
under Capt. Nathaniel Davenport when he was killed and was also wounded in

Dec. 9, 1780; m. April, 1737, Anna Batchelder, of Salem, who d.
May 28, 1815. The following is extracted from Stone's History of
Beverly, Mass. :

"Col. Henry Herrick was a member of the committee of Corre-
spondence for the town of Boston in 1773, and was very active in
the operations inaugurating the Revolution. He held the rank
of Colonel. He was an active agent in all the Revolutionary
movements, and for many years (24) represented the town in
General Court. He frequently presided at the numerous town
meetings held to consider the public concerns, at a time when it
required a good degree of moral courage for any one to appear
conspicuously in acts and measures of doubtful result, and in
event of failure placing him in the position of a rebel against the
King and government of Great Britain. His house stood on the
site of the present residence of Ebenezer Meacom."

From record of Col. Jonathan Wheeler, see Pierce's Hist, of Grafton, p. 72. —
"May 27, 1780, there was snow on Mr. Joseph Batchelor's ground four feet deep
and the 8th day of May there was a good deal of snow to be seen on the said ground
and did not go off for some days after. I believe that the oldest person in New
England never saw so much snow on the ground at once in New England as there
has been this winter, for many places lay covered with snow above five months and
many foot deep a great part of the time. A very severe winter indeed."

Joseph Bachelor, of Grafton, was one of the Alarm soldiers who remained in
the town on duty or who could be called together in case of necessity by Rev. Aaron
Hutchinson, during the French and Indian war in 1757. He was elected deacon of
the First Congregational Church April 4, 1765. He was one of the prominent
citizens of the town, was deacon of the church, and often held town offices. In
1774-5 and in 1779 he was a member of the Provincial Congress. In a work on
physicians in the Continental Congress is given the name of "Dr. Joseph Batchelder,
of Grafton, Mass." I think it is a mistake and should be Dea. Joseph. In my
History of Grafton I do not find any such person: very often Dea. Joseph is
referred to.

was born on the old homestead in Wenham, Mass. He removed to Westboro, was
married and then moved to Sutton soon after the time of his marriage and pur-
chased 1,000 acres of land at one shilling per acre. He was a cooper by trade.
Their eight children grew up in that town and the sons received an equal share in
the estate at their majority. Capt. Abraham was a man of not only indomitable
courage and perseverance, but very eccentric. It is related of him instead of cut-
ting out the underbrush to give himself a clear track to any part of the large tract
which he desired to visit, he was accustomed to start his three yoke of oxen on a
"bee line" for the desired locality and crush through all obstructions. His children
received a cup of tea once a week only, and that upon Sunday morning.

In later years he erected the house in which he died and of which an illustration
is given as it appears, in the History of Sutton. This volume refers to the
Batchellers as "a race of large strong men and were good citizens." He is referred
to in the records as Capt. Abraham. In 1763 he was selectman as "Abraham
Batcheller," in 1764 he held the same office and was called "Ensign Abraham," as
he was in 1765 and [766. In the year 1773 as a member of the selectmen he was
called "Lieut. Abraham," and the same in 17S2.

His life the true religion did adorne,
His death caus'd many aching hearts to mourn;
Not children only and grand children dear,
But neighbors too could not withhold a tear —
To who obliging conduct, they confess.
They owe no small degree of happiness.
Steadfast m faith, he ran that Christian race.
Still waiting for the rich rewards of grace,
Of which the soul partakes above the skies.
Until the dust to eternal glory rise.

ried but a short time. FJuring the long winter evenings before the
war she held the mold while he ran the bullets for the Concord
fight. She heard the alarm bell ringing in the steeple of the
Danvers meeting house across the river, and, seeing her husband
come up through the field, took down the old flintlock from over
the fireplace and with her own hand hung the powder-horn over
his shoulder and went with him to the brow of the hill and watched
him to the turn of the road; and, as he looked back, he held up
her bare arm in the April sunshine and bade him a long, long
farewell, for they brought him home dead from the battlefield on
the evening of the next day. There is still preserved a piece of
the shirt he wore, which she spun and wove for him. In one place
the British bullet pierced his breast, and in another a bayonet
thrust, and there his life blood ebbed away. They buried him on
the 2ist of April, two days after the battle. He was killed in the
yard of Jason Russell, in Menotomy, now Arlington. In 1894
the Beverly Historical Society erected a votive memorial stone over
his grave. She d. s. p. Oct. 22, 1842. He was b. N. H. 1751;

Ston, Mass.; m. 2d, Sally , who d. in Royalston, April 15, 1814. The

following notice of Dr. Batcheller is from "The Boston Medical and Surgical Jour-
nal:"

Dr. Stephen Bacheller, Sen., was born at Grafton, Mass., and commenced the
practice of his profession in Royalston in the early settlement of the town in fact
when it was almost an entire wilderness. He was the first physician of the town,
and there he continued to practice till his decease. He sutt'ered much from the
want of roads, and the condition of such as existed. He was obliged to travel by
marked trees in that and the neighboring towns, often by night, and frequently fol-
lowed by bears and wolves; and to ford streams at the peril of his life. Add to this
the roughness of the country in the northwestern section of Worcester county, and
some idea may be formed of the perils and dangers he had to endure in the dis-
charge of his professional duties. Yet he never refused to respond to the calls of
his lot, whatever the raging of the storm, the darkness of the night, the dangers of
the way, or the poverty of the patients. His ride was very extensive. He was
remarkable for his kindness and attention to the poor, never compelling payment
from them for medical services. Earlv in life he made a profession of religion by
joining the Congregational church in Royalston.

The history of Royalston, published in 1865, has this of him:

In 1768 the first physician. Stephen Batcheller established himself here. Down
to the time of his death in i82q, at the age of eighty-three, he remained here, and
illustrated the highest style of fidelity to a life of professional honor and duty.
Some of you can remember him as he rode over these paths in the saddle, generally
without a girth for greater safety in the accidents of uncertain bridges and byways,
with those traditional bags, which were so long recognized as the insignia of his
profession. He deserves to be cherished in the combined associations of a length-
ened and honored citizenship and of those solemn and tender services which in
nearly a half century of practice received the gratitude of the living and took no
reproach from the memorials of the dead.

He taught school in Royalston in 1772, boarded himself and was granted the
munificent sum of $5.71 a month. He held^various town offices of honor and trust.
He d. 1829; res. Royalston, Mass.

Reuben Walker. The Dr. and his wife spent their last years
there; and Asa Bacheller and his wife died upon the place, which
is now owned by Franklin H., son of Ashbel Goddard. About
1810, Wm. Clement, with a part of his family, removed to Croy-
don, N. H., where he d. aged 85. He was a soldier of the Revolu-
tion, and in the battle of Bunker Hill. His son William returned
to his native town and lived with his second wife, the widow of
the second Dr. Bacheller, on the place next west of Franklin H.
Goddard's. His son Wm. W. Clement was representative to the
next general court in 1865 and was the proprietor of the Major
Norton place, the last before reaching the common. Asa Bachel-
lor held many town offices and was selectman in 182 1-2 3.

b. Salem, Mass., March 18, 1751; dau. of Major Ezra, of Salem and Lucy (Putnam).
He was born probably in Andover, possibly in Beverly; when the Revolutionary
war broke out he enlisted from Beverly April 25, 1775, for three months and four-
teen days as private in Capt. Asa Prince's company in Col. Mansfield's regiment.
He was at once elected ensign. In another place in the Revolutionary rolls his
residence is given as Middleton, Mass. In the list of officers of Massachusetts
militia it is stated he was commissioned ensign of Capt. John Low's in Col. Mans-
field's regiment (Essex Co.) June 7, 1775. He was evidently wounded or contracted
a disease, for he was granted an invalid's pension April 20, 1796. At that time he
was residing in Hillsboro county, N. H. Soon after the war he moved to Wilton,
N. H., where he resided for several years. The history of Wilton says he was
sergeant in Capt. Gross' company and that he was wounded at the battle of Ben-
nington Aug. 16, 1777. He was a selectman in W^ilton in 1779 and removed to
Milford prior to 1795. He died in Marietta, Ohio. Res. Milton and Miiford, N. H.,

the Revolutionary war was heralded throughout Massachusetts, Daniel resided in
Andover and at once enlisted as a private in Capt. Loveyoung's company, commanded
by Lieut. John Adams in Col. Samuel Johnson's regiment, Which marched on the
alarm April 19, 1775, to Cambridge. That service, however, was for only three and
one-half days. Later he was in Capt. Philip Putnam's company in Col. Moses
Nichols' regiment of N. H. militia, raised to reinforce the northern army and to repel
the invasion of Burgoyne. Enlisted Sept. 29, 1777, marched to Saratoga, and was
present at the surrender of Burgoyne and discharged Oct. 25, 1777. He probably
moved to Wilton at once after his marriage. His eldest child was born on Mile Slip,
a part of Wilton, where he owned seventy acres. June 11, 1778, he purchased other
property, on which he resided. Aug. 20, 1791, he purchased more land and made

Cutter hewed his education with the axe. He had no other advan-
tages than the town then afforded, but was a good arithmetician
and possessed a wonderfully acute faculty for investigation. He
was very industrious in his habits and decided in his opinions,
and open in asserting his convictions. He gave his chil-
dren a good education and bringing up. He was a successful
farmer for that period, and a large wool grower. Determination
was a marked characteristic of his mind. He had a strong desire
to have things right, and was scrupulously just in his dealings
with others. Ch. : i. Calvin, b. May i, 1807; m. Caroline Hall
and Eunice W. Powers. He was educated at new Ipswich
academy, later studied medicine at Bowdoin, Dartmouth and
Harvard, and received his degree of M.D. in 1831. For some years
he practiced at Rochester and Nashua, N. H. He was the author
of Cutter's "Physiology," a text-book in the public schools which
has been translated in many languages. In 1857 he took a promi-
nent part in the border war in Kansas, and at the breaking out of
the war was mustered as surgeon of the Twenty-first Massachu-
setts regiment. For three years he served in the army, the latter
part of the time beiag surgeon-in-chief of the Ninth Army Corps.

N, H., but there is not any data of the births, deaths or marriages on the town
records. He was taxed for personal property in that town in 1791 and his name
does not appear at any other time. On the records, by the "intelligent" town
clerk, the name is spelled "Batcheldore. " He was a millwright by trade and his
occupation kept him away from home a great deal of the time. He built large mills
and elevators at New Orleans and in different states ; his business always kept him
away from home excepting when he would return to visit his family. He resided

dau. of Amos (Francis, Samuel, Moses, Arquilla), b. Feb. 28, 1767, in Middlesex
Co., Mass.; d. Oct. 19, 1858, in Corinth, Vt. He was born probably in Mass. or
N. H. and removed to Vermont. At the time of his marriage he was of Litchfield,
N. H. He was the first ordained minister in Orange county, Vt. His denomination
was Free Will Baptist. He established two churches near Corinth, Vt, one at the
Hollow and the other at the meadow, some five miles apart. He went west on
a visit to his oldest daughter, Mrs. Lena Ladd. Her husband had come west only
a short time before and entered a quarter section of land from the government about
fifty miles from Cincinnati, Ohio. He at once began holding revival meetings and
had aroused considerable interest when he was suddenly taken ill and died. It was
some time after before his daughter learned of his demise.

The "Free Baptist Cyclopaedia" savs:

Rev. Daniel Batchelder was converted at Corinth, Vt., under the preaching of
Jeremiah Ballard in 1798. He was one of the fifteen original members of the Corinth
church, the second church to be organized in Vermont. He passed a satisfactory
examination at the New Hampshire Y. M. in 1799, ^^nd was ordained by Tingley,
Young and Ballard, and perhaps Daniel Lord and Aaron Buzzell, at Corinth, Oct. 4.
He was the first minister ordained by us in Vermont. He served the Corinth church
as pastor for twenty years. He assisted Nathaniel Brown in a revival at Tun-
bridge, which resulted in the formation of a church, in 1800. Nathaniel King was
one of the converts. The date of his death is thought to have been in 1833.

243. CAPT. JOSIAH BATCHELDER (Josiah, Josiah, John, John), b. Bev-
erly, Mass., Sept. 25, 1736; m. Feb. 18, 1760, Hannah Dodge, of Beverly, dau. of
Capt. Caleb Dodge; b. Feb. 18, 1744; d. April 7, 1797. An incident in her life is
related by Mr. Stone in his "History of Beverly," as follows:

The consternation felt by the more timid portion of Beverly's female popula-
tion, in prospect of being left defenseless while the men were in the Revolutionary
War, was great. A large number, having by mutual instinct collected together,
their condition was freely discussed. "Our husbands and sons are gone," they de-
spondingly said, "and none are left to protect us. If the regulars come during their
absence, what will become of us, what shall we do." "Do!" exclaimed Mrs. Hannah
Batchelder, a fair representative of many hearts bold and determined as her own.
"Do! Who cares for the regulars? Let them come, and if they do not behave
themselves, we'll take our brooms and drive them out of town." — [History Beverly.]

He early began a nautical life, and by energy of character soon rose to the com-
mand of a vessel. In 1761, on his passage from Georgia to St. Christopher, with a
cargo of lumber, he was taken by a French privateer, and after being detained
twenty- four hours succeeded in obtaining release of his vessel for two thousand three
hundred pieces of eight. For the payment of this sum he was retained a hostage
on board the privateer, while his vessel, under the charge of the first officer, was
despatched to St. Eustatia or St. Christopher for the mone^^ In the meantime he
was carried into Martinico and thrust into a fxlthy prison, from which he obtained
release and proceeded to St. Christopher, where he entered a protest against the
whole proceedings.

Capt. Batchelder was a warm, devoted and energetic friend to the cause of free-

416 BATCHELLER GENEALOGY.

dom, to promote which he made large pecuniary sacrifices. His fellow citizens
honored him with their confidence by electing him six times to represent their inter-
ests in the General Court. He was also elected a member of the committee on cor-
respondence and a member of the Provincial Congress in 1775 and again in 1776-7
and g, and in each assembly was placed on the most importanc committees. His
extensive business and public station made for him a large acquaintance at home
and abroad, and his numerous guests were entertained with a generous hospitality.
For many years he discharged with great acceptance, the duties of a justice of the
peace, and, when by act of Congress, Salem and Beverly were formed into one dis-
trict, he received the appoinment of surveyor and inspector, which office he held
until his decease. He was thirty-five years a member of the First church and de-
parted this life highly respected.

A quaint item appears on the town records, as follows: "These may certify that

with all the buildings and all appurtinances thereunto belonging containing a hun-
dred and ten to a hundred twenty acres, with all the farming utensils and all the
outdoor and indoor moveables, and all the live-stock belonging to the same, or that
may be found on the same that will be my property at the time of my decease, to
be equally divided between them. I give to my daughter Joanna Prince one good
cow from the stock that will be on my Dodge farm at the time of my decease. I
give to each of my grand children, that shall be alive at the time of my decease, a
good, table, silver, spoon: and to Josiah Batchelder Prince I give ten dollars in
silver, and to Josiah Batchelder 3rd. the son of my son Josiah I give twenty dollars
in silver. I give to my grandson John Bartlett Prince my gun, sword, and all my
military accoutrements.

I give to my sister Hepzibah Adams a handsome silver table spoon, and a
decent silk gown. I give to Sarah Biles, on account of her long and faithful ser-
vices, a good silk gown, a silver table spoon, and fifty dollars in silver, over and
above what wages may be due to her at the lime of my decease. I give to the

31, 1779; dau. of Joseph and Annie Cummings; d. June 22, 1871, ae. ninety-two.
Jacob Batchelder, born in Topsfield, Mass., was a person of unusual intelligence and
discernment, and took a marked personal interest in all the questions of his day
and generation. He was of a kindly disposition ; but possessed great firmness and
decision of character, and in his family his "word was law." He was an inn-holder
in various places during a great part of his life, and was eminent in his chosen
vocation ; but he finally purchased a farm in Boxford, deeming that life more con-
ducive to the welfare of his young sons. During the war of 1812 he was the
captain of a militia company — he was always known as Capt. Batchelder — which
was ordered by the governor to report for duty and proceeded to Boston, expecting
to engage in active service ; but after having encamped for some time upon the
common, they were, to their great disappointment, returned to their homes, without
engaging in active warfare. During the last part of his life he was disabled by an
accident, and for several years was unable to employ himself actively as before.
He died in Boxford Feb. i, 1853. His will, of which the following is a copy, was
probated March 29, 1S53:

In the name of God, Amen, I Jacob Batchelder of Boxford in the county of
Essex and commonwealth of Mass., gentleman, being admonished of the uncer-
tainty of life, and desirous of disposing of my worldly estate, do hereby make this
my last will and testament as follows, viz.

First. I give and bequeath to my beloved wife Mary, in case she shall outlive
me, all my household furniture, and beds and bedding, to her and her heirs forever.
I further give to her the use, income and improvement of one third part of all my
real estate during her natural life.

Second. I give and bequeath to my daughter Lydia Gould, (wife of Daniel
Gould) over and above what I have already given to her, the sum of fifty dollars,
to her and and her heirs.

Third. I give and bequeath to my son Jacob Batchelder, over and above what
I have already given to him, the sum of one hundred dollars, to him and his heirs.

Fourth. I give and bequeath to my son Joseph C. Batchelder over and above
what I have already given to him the sum of two hundred dollars, to him and his
heirs.

Fifth. All of the rest, residue and remainder of my estate, both real and per-
sonal after the payment of my just debts and the expenses of the settlement of my
estate, and the legacies herein before named, I give and bequeath to my three sons,
VIZ. John O. Batchelder. Samuel H. Batchelder, and Edward G. Batchelder, in
equal shares, to them and their respective heirs and assigns forever.

Sixth. , I order my executor hereinafter named to pay all of the aforenamed
legacies within one year after my decease.

Seventh. I hereby nominate and appoint my son Samuel H. Batchelder sole
executor of this my last will and testament. In witness of all and each of the things
herein contained, I have hereunto set my hand and seal this second day of June in
the year of our Lord one thousand eigjit hundred and forty eight.

Erskine, b. Dec. 26, 1803; d. March 24, 1885. Rev. John Batcheller was born in
Brookfield, Mass., and went to Vermont when a boy. Through the godly influence
of a pious mother he was early impressed with religious duties, and was finally
brought to God _when sixteen years of age. He was licensed to preach when
twenty-two years of age, and was ordained deacon at Barnard, Vt. , by Bishop
George, in 1821. He came to Maine that year and preached in several towns. In

1830 he was admitted to the Maine Conference held in Portland, and was there
ordained elder by Bishop Hedding. Following are some of the appointments
which he received: Orrington and Bucksport, with Rev. Benj. Jones, 1830; Surry;

1831 and '32; Steuben, 1833; Brooksville, 1834-35; Penobscot, 1836; Surry, 1837,
Hillmanack and Brownville, 1S38; Dover, 1839; Harmony, 1840. In 1841 he
located and in 1843 was readmitted, but soon superannuated. At the time of his
death he had been a preacher of the gospel fifty-six years and a fully ordained
minister forty-three years. He had been on the superannuated list about thirty
years and had lived most of the time in Bristol, Maine. His heart was in the work,
however. He preached occasionally, attended many funerals and was accustomed
to visit the sick. His last sermon was preached in Round Pond, Me., on the
second Sunday in the year 1873, from i Cor. 7:29 — "But this I say, brethren, the
time is short," etc. It had been observed for six months previous to his death that
his health was fast failing. At last, after an illness of five days, on Feb. 15, 1873,
at the age of seventy-eight years, he passed to his long-looked-for reward. He

Joseph), b. Royalston, Mass., June 3, 1778; m. Sarah ; she d. in Royalston,

March 16, 1826; m. 2d, Martha Simmonds. Dr. Stephen Bacheller, Jr., received his
preparatory education at the Academies of Chesterfield, N. H., and New Salem,
Mass. He devoted much attention to the study of the Latin language and had a
good knowledge of Greek. He commenced the study of medicine with his father,
but spent the latter period of his pupilage under the instruction of the late Dr.
Henry Wells, of Montague, one of the most distinguished physicians of New Eng-
land. At the age of 22 he began the practice of his profession in Truro on the Cape.
This was in the autumn or winter of 1800. He remained at Truro three j^ears;
when, at the solicitation of his father, who began to feel some of the infirmities of
age, he returned to his native town and commenced business with him in 1803.
And it is a fact worthy of notice that the father and son practiced in town during
the long period of 80 years — the father 35 years before the son commenced with
him, and the son 45 years from his return to Royalston in 1803. As a physician,
the latter certainly held a high and very respectable rank, and was greatlj^ esteemed
by his professional brethren. He probably had, for many years, a more extensive
consultation business than any other physician in the county, and perhaps in the
State. He was highly honored by the Massachusetts Medical Society, of which he
became a fellow June i, 1B24, and continued his connection to the time of his de-
cease. He was one of the most punctual attendants at its annual meetings, often
riding from Royalston to Boston, 70 miles or more, in his gig the day before the
meeting, and returning home in the same manner the day after. He was for many'
years one of the counsellors of the society, two years its vice-president and one of
the delegates from this society in March, 1848, to the American Medical Associa-
tion, whose session that year was held in Baltimore. He was one of the founders of
the District Society, for Worcester county, and for some ^-ears its president. The
number of medical students who spent a part or the whole of their pupilage with
him, was about 40, many of whom have proved respectable and even eminent phy-
sicians. He was ambitious to keep pace with the improvements in the profession,
procuring and reading the latest and most approved periodical publications and
standard works. He was an early riser, and devoted his whole time to his library
and his patients. His professional charges were unusually low, and like verj' many
of his brethren he was negligent in collecting his debts, especially if the debtor was
poor. The widow and the orphan were constantly applying to him for advice and
counsel, and he often assisted them to his own pecuniary detriment. Independ-
ently of his professional worth he was highly esteemed by his townsmen as a valu-
able citizen, representing his native town m the State legislature, holding the office
of a justice of the peace, and serving in various municipal offices. He gave all his

430 BATCHELLER GENEALOGY.

influence in favor of the cause of temperance, and contributed liberally for the sup-
port of the institutions of religion, education, etc. He literally died in the harness,
having practiced in two of the adjoining towns on the day of his death, and on his
return, deposited his vote for presidential electors at the town house. He died at
the house of a near neighbor, where he called apparently well, but soon complained
of feeling faint, leaned back in his chair, and called for a glass of water, but before
it could be handed him he was dead.

Gov. Alexander H. Bullock, in his anniversary address at Royalston in 1865,
said this: Stephen Batcheller, Jr., practiced here and in all the northeastern por-
tions of Massachusetts nearly as long as he, and with a more widely spread reputa-
tion. His education was respectable, but his sagacity and instincts were uncommon
and remarkable. Most eminent practitioners in the State, who met him in the con-
ventions of the Faculty at Boston and Worcester, have told me that his rank was of
the highest. Who of us does not today recall his portly dimensions, his elastic step,
his perceptions of our ailments, his wit and mirth of conversation which palliated
the bitterness of the potion he administered and forced convalescence into whole-
some jollity? No physician in the county of Worcester ever rode so many miles
as he. He practiced a little after the old style, but he had grand ideas of common
sense about sickness and health. One such doctor to a generation in a town be-
comes a farreaching power in the issues of life and death. Dr. Batcheller was
absolutely august in his proportions, always riding rapidly and smoking as fast,
with a short, genial nod and a happy word for everybody and especially for the
young of both sexes. The ancient residence of the Batchellers occupied the site
just south of the present meeting house, on the west side of the common. He d.

Grafton, probably on Keith Hill. Soon after his marriage he moved to Farnums-
ville and resided about half way between the Baptist meeting house and old Wards-
worth place, where he was in business. In 1821 he moved to the center of the town
and for a time resided in the old Forbush house at the head of the common. He was
in business with Hon. Samuel Wood and Paul Farnum. Later he moved to New
England Village (North Grafton) and conducted the business for Wood, Kimball &
Co., the firm name was afterwards changed to Batcheller & Kimball. In 1851 he
moved to Worcseter, where, after a residence of three years, he returned to Graf-
ton. In 185b he purchased the farm on the Saundersville road, where he died Aug.

Vermont in order to help him with the care of the farm which he had cleared from
what was then a wilderness. Otis married, at about the age of forty, Adeline Fos-

b. Feb. II, 1792; d. Sept. 30, 1883 (own cousins.) Ezra was a very strong, mus-
cular man, and had been a great wrestler, at which he seldom, if ever, found his
match. In his younger days he was for a time a sailor, and during the war of 1812
was for some time on board a privateer. Later in life he often amused the younger
people with stories of his privateer life. One, which I at one time heard him relate
and which I have often heard, I will give you: On one occasion they captured
a prize, and Bachelder, with a few more men, were detailed to take it, with the
prisoners, into port. During the voyage the captain was allowed to come on deck,
while the other prisoners were kept below. The captain soon learned that
Batchelder was the one who was the most to be feared among the men, and he with
the other prisoners formed a plot to recapture the vessel. The captain was to go
on deck at an appointed time and challenge Batchelder to wrestle with him, and
when he had got him down — which he felt sure of doing — the other prisoners were
to rush up and try to overpower the rest of the men. At the appointed time the
challenge was given and readily accepted. The captain was a large strong man,
and Batchelder said he never found a man whom he had so hard work to handle as
he did that old British captain, as he expressed it. But he finally succeeded in
throwing him to the deck and holding him there. The moment they came down
there was a rush of the prisoners below for the deck, but when they came up and
found that their captain, instead of holding Batchelder, was being held down
himself, their courage failed, and they were soon driven back by the other men.
The captain was not allowed on deck again during the voyage. He d. May 19, 1875.

Today is the 97th anniversary of the birth of Mrs. Lois, widow
of the late Sumner Maynard, of Northboro. Mrs. Maynard was
born in Northbridge, Oct. 8, 1800, and was the daughter of Capt.
Simeon Batchelor, and granddaughter of Maj. Batchelor, one of
the most public spirited men of the town at that time. He gave
much toward building the First church in Northbridge, givmg the
land and also the land for the central burying ground. Mrs. May-
nard's ancestors were all among the most prominent people of the
town, and the community owes much to their perseverance, energy
and loyalty, for they were among the first settlers. Mrs. Maynard
comes from a rugged race, and many of her family have lived to
an advanced age. Hermotherwas93 when she died, in 1862. Mrs.
Maynard is a remarkable woman for one of her age, being bright
and active, and this summer she has pieced several bed quilts, and
tied one herself. Many of her friends have called upon her today,
feeling that much honor is due to the oldest living person in North-
boro, one who has always labored for the best interests of the
church and people. — [Worcester Spy, Oct. S, 1S97.]

eight inches tall, well proportioned, black beard, graj'-blue ej-es, fine looking fore-
head. He had far more intelligence than his neighbors, for they often consulted
him and relied on his judgment. He had no ambition and by the death of his
parents at an early age was left without proper guidance. He acquired a habit
which came near being his death; he, however, later joined the Sons of Tem-
perance, and was ever after an earnest worker. He worked at the stone business
and was killed by a blast in the quarry. Just before his marriage, by the death of

421. SERGT. JOSEPH SLEIGH BATCHELOR (Joseph, Amos, David,

Sarah Murray, b. Dec. 11. 1794; d. Jan. 23. 1852. Joseph Sleigh Batchelor was born

in Philadelphia, Pa., Sept. 6, 178S. He learned
the cabinetmaking trade and in 1810 he and his
mother moved west and located in Steubenville,
Ohio. He bought a lot on which was a one-
story log house, which he used for a shop, and
began the manufacture of furniture. On the
opposite corner of the lot from his shop he built
a one-story clapboard house for a dwelling for
his mother and himself. This latter house was
the kitchen for the homestead from that day to
this, and is still standing and used for that pur-
pose. His business matters seem to have gone
on satisfactorily and harmoniously, until one
quiet Sunday morning in the spring of 1812, when
the good people of the town were startled by the
sound of a drum. A messenger had arrived
from the frontier to warn the people that the
Indians were murdering all before them, and
the government had called for volunteers. Capt.
Nicholas Murray (his wife's brother) organized
a company, with Joseph S. Batchelor as orderly
sergeant, and on the following Thursday they
started on foot for the scene of action and were
mustered into service under General Harrison.
Before leaving, Mr. B. discharged his appren-
SERGT. JOSEPH s. BATCHELOR. ^icc boys, huug a jack-plaue over the outside of

the shop door, kissed his mother good-by, and
left with his company for the frontier lakes. It is very evident that after he was
married he continued his businesss with the same energy which he displayed in
after years. Before he and his wife were married his mother and he lived in the
one-story house before referred to, that stood on the northwest end of the lot, about
twenty feet from the front. The house was about twenty-five by fifteen feet. In
one corner alongside of the fireplace was a closet, from which a ladder led to the
garret, which was his bedroom. When he arrived from Philadelphia he had. from
all accounts, brought with him some city airs, and is said to have been a very-
particular man in his dress, always wearing his ruffled shirt, and. a few years laler,
wore a queue of his hair, tied at the end with a black ribbon. There is a profile of
him that shows the queue. His mother used to tell of the dandy young man who,
after working all day, would dress himself in his garret room, and come down in
his ruffles to go a "galing. " Although he was driving his business with all his
might, he evidently took time to hunt a wife. When he had succeeded in his
arrangements in that important mission, the next thing to do was to find a domicile
to bring her to. He then built a two story frame house in front of the one men-
tioned above. The addition was about thirty feet front by twenty deep, a hall
through one end, with stairs leading to the second story, one large room and hall
downstairs, and two rooms upstairs. In this humble home — in those days consid-
ered a very good one — he brought Sarah Murray, daughter of Nicholas and
Temperance Murray, as his wife. Here they lived and here all the children were
born.

As orderly sergeant of Captain Murray's company in the war of 181 2, he had
the muster roll, which he preserved, and forty years afterward, when Congress
passed a law giving the soldiers of 1812 pensions, he produced the muster roll of the
company to identify the members, and that evidence was sufficient to enable mem-
bers or their heirs to get their pensions. He carried on the manufacture of first-

class furniture for many years. His plan was to make up through the winter large
quantities of goods and during the sprmg or early summer it would be loaded on
a flat or trading boat and then the craft would be cut loose for a trip down the
Ohio as far as Cincinnati, C, during which time he would sell off the cargo. Then
the return trip home would follow, which during his first experience was by walk-
ing and riding, as the opportunity offered, and later by steamboat, which was
a wonderful improvement on the first. He died at Steubenville, Ohio, and was
buried with Masonic honors in the old Methodist burying ground on the 24th of
June, 1856. He d. June 23, 1856. Res. Steubenville, Ohio.

of Rev. Reuben Hubbard, b. 1870, in Hillsdale County, Mich., 1837. He was born
in Mass. in Charlton, obtained a good education for those early days, and fitted
for ministry. He was early brought under the influences of the pioneer Methodist
preachers in New England, embraced that faith, and for many years preached in
Brimfield, Mass. In 1798 he joined conference and after traveling six years in east
moved to state of New York, Cortland County, town of Homer. Having re-
mained a short time local, he again united with the traveling connection and lab-
ored with untiring diligei'ce and unabating zeal for many years, with great ac-
ceptability. He was found among the delegates of the first delegated general con-
ferance, x8i2. Those acquainted with the afflictions and privations of early M- E.
ministers know how to sympathize with them and their families, even children of
district schools were ridiculed and treated with contempt, for no other cause than
that their parents were Methodists. Preaching the unsearchable riches of Christ,
he frequently traveled 600 miles and preached 40 times in four weeks; his wife,
who shared his privations and trials, was Patty Hubbard, and sister of Rev. Rufus
Hubbard, an eminently pious and useful minister of the gospel for many years;
six children were born to them — Wesley, David, John, Rubin, Mary (Abigal). He
fought a good fight, kept the faith, endured unto the end, has entered into rest,
with many stars in the crown of his rejoicing. May his mantle of wisdom and
power for good ever be worn worthily by all his descendants.. He died in Homer,

wns descended from the family of that name near Boston; his grandfather and
father (both bearing the name of Abraham) were officers in the Revolutionary
War — Massachusetts troops; his mother was Rebecca Dwight of that well known
New England family; and from these staunch Puritans he inherited a fine phy-
sique and many sterling qualities. He was b in Paris, Oneida county, N. Y., near
Utica, when that city was a little hamlet of three houses. When a lad of 14 his
parents removed to the then wilderness of Chautauqua county, N. Y., following a
trail of marked trees, the only road. He m. Eliza Ann Johnson, also of New Eng-
land ancestry, and settled on a high hill in Stockton, N. Y.. commanding a mag-
nificent view of the chain of Cassadaga Lakes and Lakes Erie and Chautauqua,
becoming what at that time was considered a wealthy farmer. Five daughters
and one son were born to them. In 1849 he removed to Fredonia, N. Y., and
conducted a retail dry goods business until 1857, when, having bought a large
tract of land in Iowa county, Iowa, he removed there and resumed farming. His
wife dying June 28, 1859, he disposed of his interests there and invested in Texas
lands, and while on a visit to them he was taken ill and died on Christmas Day,
1883, in Colorado, Texas. He was buried by the side of his wife, in Victor, Iowa.
For over 40 years he was an honored deacon in the Baptist church, and was most
highly gifted in prayer. In politics he w^as a Radical, being an ardent admirer of
Wendall Philips, Gerrit Smith, and Garrison, helping many a poor slave through
to Canada via the underground railway, and always remained a Republican. Too
old to go himself, he sent his only son to serve his country in the War of the
Rebellion. He d. Dec. 25, 1882. Res. Victor, Iowa.

N. J. Eva Ellen Batcheller, the youngest child of Charles and
Eliza Ann Johnson, was born April 24, 1849, and when a young
lass removed from the Coynty of Chautauqua, N. Y., to Iowa,
with her parents. She still retains vivid recollections of her
childhood life — the vast prairies with their terrifying fires, the
howling of the prairie wolves, the visits of wild (half-tamed) In-
dians, the caravans of Mormons, and Pike's Peak explorers.
But after the death of her mother, in 1859. she was sent away
to school, and her life has been spent mostly in the east — New
York and New Jersey. With the latter state she is closely
identified in all patriotic works, having organized the General
Frelinghuysen Chapter Daughters of the American Revolution,
remaining its Regent and conducting its affairs \yith marked
success and enthusiasm, also being first vice president of the
Revolutionary Memorial Society, whose object is the restoration
and preservation of the Revolutionary landmarks of that very

Batcheller was born in Sutton, Mass., his wife, Polly Chase, was born
in Sutton, North Parish. He was educated in the district schools of
Sutton. At the age of 14 years he went to Boston and enlisted in the U. S. Navy,
and was assigned to the Frigate Constitution, then in command of Capt. Isaac
Hull. Duty assigned him was cabin boy. He was in service one year, and during
ing this time the Frigate made a cruise around the West India Islands, for the
protection of the American shipping, and then returned to Boston, and was dis-
charged. He then returned to Sutton; he went into the employment of John Mar-
ble, of Marbleville, Sutton, Mass., scythe manufacturer, and learned the business.
He continued in this business all his life, having associated with him part of the
time, his sons, Moses L. and Jonas H. Batcheller, where they carried on the man-
ufacturing in Grafton, Mass., and Burrillville, Rhode Island. He was known as
one of the best temperers of steel in Worcester county and that section. He tem-
pered scythes for a large firm in Rhode Island for several years, and their scythes
were sought after far and wide for their excellent cutting qualities. Aquilla Chase,
the ancestor of Mrs. Batcheller. was a mariner and came from Cornwall, England,
in 1640, to Hampton-, N. H. He came over with his brother Thomas, and after
residing in Hampton for many years he moved to Newbury, Mass., where he died
in 1670. He d. Nov. 2, 1864. Res. Grafton, Mass.

icines and was a great student. At an early age he went to
Worcester, and with one of the most celebrated watchmakers
there learned that trade. Later he was in the finishing depart-
ment of the Elgin Watch Company. He was an expert at this
trade and was one of J;he most skilled in his line. He invented
a self-winding watch, said to have been the first ever made in
this country. He continued his studies and reading and was
soon one of the best posted persons in that section on my-
thology, metaphysics, astronomy, and astrology. He has pub-
lished three almanacs which had a large sale, and made many
predictions which have been fulfilled. For some time he resided
in the south, but of late years has lived in New York, on the
west side, and is unmarried.

moved to Brookfiled, the Second Parish. His father purchased the property which
has since been known as the "Batcheller Place." When in his 15th year he went
to Grafton and learned the trade of shoemaker of Xathan Johnson. At the close
of his apprenticeship there he returned to Xorth Brookfield and was employed in
the establishment of Oliver Ward, who, in 1810. began the manufacture of "Sale
Shoes." the first of the kind in the state west of Grafton. He resided in Mr.
Ward's family for eight years. In 1819 he began business on his own account at
the Wetherbee house, so called, which stood on the spot now occupied bj^ the
house of Mr. Erastus Hill. Having married the same year, he resided there with
his family, the back part of the house serving as his manufactory. At first his bus-
mess consisted of onlj- such shoes as he could make with his own hands, soon,
however, taking into his ser\ice one or two apprentices and his brother Ezra.
The first shoes he made were of a low priced quality, especially adapted to the
southern trade. These he packed in emptA^ flour barrels and consigned to Mr.
Enoch Train, who in those da\5 ran a line of packet vessels between Boston and
Havana. On these small consignments he realized a large profit. In 1821 he pur-
chased the Skerrj' house and farm, in the center of the town on the main street,
expecting to enter into possession the first of April, but in February, 1822, his
dwelling and shop at the Wetherbee place was totalh" destro}ed by fire, and he
at once removed to his new purchase, where he resumed and continued business
in an out-building on the premises until 1824: that jear having taken into his em-
ploj- several additional employes, he erected a small two-story shop which is now
a part of the immense structure known far and wide as the Big Shop, into which,
January. 1825, he removed his business, and at the same date taking into partner-
ship his brother Ezra, enlarging the business, which was afterwards conducted
under the firm name of T. & E. Batcheller. From this time forward to the end of
his life the two brothers were associated as partners through all the changes in
their business. Tjler attended to the purchase of stock and the business abroad,
while Ezra was the efficient and popular superintendent always at home and at
his post giving all directions pertaining to the facton,-. Harmonious in all their
business relations and interests, as well as in all measures devised for the public

Deacon and Ezra. The}- now added to their business the manufacture of Batchel-
lers' retail brogan. an article adapted to the Xew England trade: their main busi-
ness was the manufacture of goods for the southern and western trade. Their bus-
iness increased and the factory- was increased to three times its original size. Free-
man Walker was admitted to the firm and the name changed to T. & E. Batcheller
& Walker. In 183: they began the manufacture of Russet brogans. especially for
the southern trade — these were the first made in Massachusetts. These soon be-
came a leading article in the shoe trade and continued to be so for many years.
Mr. Walker retired in 1834. and the firm name was again T. & E. Batcheller. The
business increased and. in 1852. others -were admitted to the firm and the name
changed to T. & E. Batcheller & Co. A store having been established in Boston,
Tyler Batcheller moved his residence to that cit\' in 1848. The business now
amounted to Si. 500.000 per annum. At the breaking out of the Civil War a num-
ber of southern houses were indebted to them for large amounts, and for a time
it was thought the firm would be obliged to suspend business, but by an amicable
arrangement the business was continued, the firm pajing every dollar of their in-
debtedness. The consequent worry, anxiety and disappointment at the sudden re-
verse in his fortunes caused a serious illness from which Tyler did not recover.

of Reading, b. Aug. 7, 1747; she d. in Royalston, March 10, 1810. He was born
in Haverhill, Mass., where he was a resident until about his majority. He mar-
ried his wife in Reading, where he resided for some time and where five of his
children were born. He then moved to Royalston, about 1776-7, where his six
other children were born. He was a prominent citizen, called Major, Deacon,
and Esquire. His name is first found on the records in 1781 as Moderator of the
town meetings. His wife's mother is an immediate descendant of the Appleton
family of Ipswich, who were "bleeders." This condition of the physical system
first appeared in the Appletons in England and was introduced by them into this
country. After the death of his wife Major John moved to 'Warwick to reside
with his son Thomas, and died there. He was buried in Warwick, and his wife
in Royalston. "The Bleeders." — By John Barlett. — Mrs. Margaret Bacheller,
wife of Deacon John Bacheller, and mother of Mrs. Hannah Bartlett, was an im-
mediate descendant of the Appleton family of Ipswich, a family remarkable for
the manifestation and transmission by some, of its members, of an anomalous
physical organization, subjecting the persons so constituted to an extreme lia-
bility to bleed profusely from their arteries and veins, the occasion of even slight
wounds. Hence they are called "Bleeders." This phenomenon may be thus
briefly and accurately described. A cut or other hurt upon them assumes at first
the common appearance; soon, however, if inclined to bleed, a cone of coagulated
blood forms upon the rupture. This cone has a minute aperture, and is large or
small according to the wound. After a week or more, as the case may be, the
blood begins and continues to flow from the cone in a stream, or more moder-
ately, sometimes for several days in succession, perhaps, until that fluid becomes
nearly as colorless as water. At this stage the sufferer, if he survives, assumes a
most ghastly appearance and is frequently unable to raise a hand or even a finger.
The bleeding ceases when the cone, which becomes very fetid, falls off. A patient
surviving this point usually recovers rapidly. It is found practically useless to
stop the flow of blood at the cone, as the continued flow or pressure internally
would result in death. They often bleed profusely at the nose, and many of them
have died from the slightest wounds. This hemorrhage is said to have first ap-
peared in the Appleton family, who introduced it here from England. None but
males are bleeders, and the sons of bleeders are never subject to it; but a bleeder's
daughter and granddaughter on the mother's side may have sons so predisposed.

454 BATCHELLER GENEALOGY.

The number of progenitors, however; who thus resemble their grandfathers, is
comparatively small. Eight only of Mrs. Bacheller's descendants are known to
the writer (who is himself an immediate descendant) as having exhibited this re-
markable feature. Mrs. Bacheller had two brothers, Thomas and Oliver Swain,
both of them professional physicians, and both of whom died from excessive
bleeding from trivial causes. The eight descendants, above mentioned, were three
sons, one grandson, three great grandsons, and one of the fourth generation;
three of whom are now livmg. One of the sons,' Thomas, while in the act of mak-
ing a pen, accidentally penetrated the skin upon the end of his thumb with the
point of the knife. The rupture was too slight, however, to have attracted the
least attention from an ordinarily constituted person. But, in about two weeks, a
cone (the certain percursor of bleeding) began to form, and a hemorrhage soon
followed, from which he nearly lost his life. At another time a very slight wound
upon his foot resulted similarly. Benjamin, another son, bled nearly to death sev-
eral times from similar slight causes Chauncy Bartlett, the grandson (a son of
Ira Bartlett) when about four years old, fell and hit his forehead, slightly ruptur-
ing the skin; a hurt which would have ordinarily received no care or attention;
but, which, in his case, resulted in death by bleeding, in a few days. Many other
instances might be cited, and names given of persons near or more remotely con-
nected with the Appletons. having been thus affected. But as the description of
one case may be taken as an illustration of all, except in degree, perhaps, it would
seem to be the work of supererogation. Science and skill have been alike baflfled in
the elucidation and treatment of this phenomenon. The History of Royalston
says: John Bacheller, Maj., Esq., and Dea., from Reading, settled north and ad-
joining the place last mentioned. His house stood on the opposite side and a lit-
tle south of the residence of Samuel Morse, the present proprietor; he was born
in Haverhill; married Margaret Swain of Reading, 1766. He removed to Royal-
ston from Reading, bringing his wife and five children, six more were subsequently
added to this number. He buried his wife in 1810 and removed to Warwick, to
live with his son, Thomas, where he died. Hannah, the first of his family born
in town, married James Bartlett, and is now, 1865, the sole survivor of her father's
and her own family (10 children), with the exception of her son, John N. Bartlett,
with whom she now lives, enjoying the use of her physical and mental powers in
a remarkable degree, though in her 89th year (1865). Her mother was an imme-
diate descendant of the Appleton family, of Ipswich, among whom are found the
"Bleeders" so called. He d. . Res. Reading and Royalston, Mass.

1060. iv. SALLY, b. Aug. 21, 1775. Nathaniel Green was born in Bos-

cawen. May 20, 1797. He was christened Peter; but having
great respect for the memory of his father, by permission of the
legislature of Massachusetts he took the name of Nathaniel. Ed-
ucational advantages at the beginning of the century were lim-
ited to eight or ten weeks of schooling in the winter, and a
term of about the same length in summer. Two of his teach-
ers were Miss Lucy Hartwell, who afterwards became the wife
of Col. Timothy Dix, and Rev. Henry Coleman, then a young
man, who subsequently was a minister in Salem, Mass., and who
distinguished himself as a writer on agricultural subjects. One
of Mr. Greene's schoolmates was John Adams Dix. Together
they stood with their toes to a crack in the floor, their spell-
ing-books in their hands, and made their "manners" when
Lucy Hartwell said, "Attention!" At the age of ten he went to
Hopkinton, and became a clerk in a store. While there he had
some three months' additional schooling. The death of his
father when he was but eleven years of age, leaving an embar-
rassed estate, compelled him to begin the struggle of life under
adverse circumstances. He was a great reader, and devoured
all books that came in his way, and which he could find time
to read. By chance he read a memoir of Franklin, which awak-
ened in him a desire to be a printer, and especially to become
an editor. The idea took complete possession of his youthful
mind. He thought of it by day, and dreamed of it by night. At
this time (1809) a new paper made its appearance in Concord —
the New Hampshire Patriot, established by Isaac Hill. On the
Fourth of July he walked from Hopkinton to Concord and of-

456 BATCHELLER GENEALOGY.

fered himself to Mr. Hill as an apprentice, and took his place
at the case. That, however, was not the end of his ambition,
but only the beginning. It was not to g:ive the other men's
thoughts to the world, but his own. Having left Mr. Hill, he
became connected in 1812 with the Concord Gazette, published
by Jesse Tuttle. This was the beginning of his editorial career.
The newspaper at that time usually contained a ponderous ar-
ticle on some political topic, the latest news from Europe, the
victories of the French armies or of the Prussians, but very lit-
tle local information. There were no reports of meetings, no
gathering up of home incidents. -^ The paper was issued weekly,
and there was abundant time for an editor to prepare his thun-
derbolt to launch at the opposing political party. In 1814 Mr.
Greene moved to Portsmouth, and becam^e connected with the
New Hampshire War Journal, published by Beck & Foster. He
remained there only a year, when he removed to Haverhill,
Mass., and became connected with the Haverhill Gazette, pub-
lished by Burrell & Tileston. In this situation, although but 18
years of age, he had the sole editorial supervision of the paper.
In 1817, at the age of 20, he became his own publisher, and
started the Essex Patriot. The vigor and energy of his writing
had already attracted the attention of the public, and he was
invited by some of the Democratic Republican politicians to
start a paper in Boston, and, complying with the request, he
issued, on Feb. 6, 1821, the first number of the Boston States-
man, a weekly still in existence At that time there was a tri-
angular contest for the presidency, and the Statesman advocated
the election of W. H. Crawford; but the result of the election —
the elevation of John Quincy Adams to the presidential chair —
and the great increasing popularity of Gen. Jackson, made it
apparent to the far-seeing young editor that the succeeding
election would bring Gen. Jackson prominently before the pub-
lic. Mr. Greene labored earnestly to bring about the nomina-
tion and election of the hero of New Orleans, and the triumph
of the party, in 1828, paved the way for Mr. Greene's future
political success. He was appointed post-master in Boston in
1829, and occupied that official position until the accession of
Gen. Harrison to the presidency, when he was succeeded by
Mr. George William Gordon; and although this was one of the
first public removals of the new administration, yet one of the
last measures of President Tyler was to reinstate Mr. Greene in
the same office, which he occupied until after the election of
Zachary Taylor, in 1849. Mr. Greene had the reputation of
conducting this department to the entire approval of the na-
tional executive, and by his urbane and conciliatory deportment,
to the satisfaction of the public in Boston. While thus absorbed
in official and editorial duties, he found time to acquire the
French, Italian and German languages. The French was taken
up without much difficulty, as was also the Italian; and in a few
weeks he was able to read them. He published, in 1836, a
history of Italy, translated by himself from the Italian; and
subsequently, as a birth-day present to his niece, he translated
Undine from the German into the Italian. This work was read
by Signor Monti, at that time Professor of Italian at Harvard
College, who pronounced it admirably done, and requiring very
little alteration to be ready for publication. In 1836, at the
suggestion of a friend, he began German, purchasing a diction-
ary, a grammar, and a set of Van der Velde's works. Taking
them home, he sat down in the evening, and began with the
title-page. The first word was "die," which, on referring to
the dictionary, he found to be the definite article "the". He
wrote down the word, and' went on to the next, which was
"wieder taufer". He turned to the dictionary, but could not

BATCHELLER GENEALOGY. 457

find it. Recollecting that many words in German are com-
pound, he looked for "wieder", and found that it meant "again".
Then looking for "taufer", he found that it meant "baptizer",
and said to himself that "wieder taufer" must mean re-baptizer,
or Anabaptist. This was the title page. He thus began with
the first sentence of the texi, and before retiring to rest com-
pleted the first period of a line and a half. This was about
Christmas time. Every evening during the winter he went on
with his translation, and about the first of May following pub-
lished the results of his labors in two duodecimo volumes,
entitled "Tales from the German". He translated about fifty
volumes, many of which have been published. Such literary
perseverance has few parallels. Mr. Greene had a fine poetic
fancy. Manj^ of his contributions have been given to the public
over the signature of "Boscawen", choosing the place of his
birth as his nom de plume. His stanzas entitled "Petrarch and
Laura", published in the Boston Evening Transcript, are
marked with smoothness of rhythm and delicate sentiment.
After retiring from public life, Mr. Greene spent a long period
abroad, traveling through Europe. While in Paris, in 1852, he
received intelligence of the death of a beloved daughter, who
died at Panama while on her way to San Francisco to establish
a home of the Sisters of Charity, to which order she had be-
come attached. The father's heart, wrung with grief, found
expression in a feeling poetic tribute to her memory. Mr.
Greene m. Sally, dau. of Rev. Wm. Batcheler, of Haverhill,
Mass. His son, William B. Greene, was educated at West
Point, and served as lieutenant in the U. S. Army, but, resign-
ing his commission, he entered the ministry, and settled in
Brookfield, Mass. He m. a dau. of Robert G. Shaw, Esq., of
Boston. At the breaking out of the rebellion he was living
abroad. At the news of the attack upon Fort Sumter he has-
tened home and offered his services to the government. He
was appointed colonel of the 14th Mass. Volunteers, which he
ably drilled as a heavy artillery regiment, and commanded the
line of fortifications on the Potomac, serving with distinction.
Mr. Nathaniel Greene d. Nov. 29, 1877, at the age of 80 years
and 5 months. From among many of the obituary notices of
him we quote the following: "Another of Boston's old and
distinguished citizens has been added to the vanished throng.
Few names have been more closely identified with the life and
interests of the city than that of. Nathaniel Greene. He was
eminently a successful man. He handled the elements that lay
before him with judgment and with vigor. For half a century
his career was one of great activity, and it yielded results upon
which he might well pride himself. He was a controlling spirit,
a progressive force, in those circles wherein he moved, and his
name will be remembered as long as the events of the Boston
of the nineteenth century are written about or spoken of."

Col. William Batchelder Greene was b. at Haverhill,
Mass., April 4, 1819, and d. at Westonsuper-Mare. England,
May 30, 1878, age 59. Obituaries were published in the Boston
Journal and Boston Evening Transcript. June 3. and the Boston

Mass., Aug. 7, 1753; m. at Newport, in Rhode Island, May 25, 1774, Sarah Par-
sons. She was the daughter of Capt. Parsons of Boston. He owned a sailing
vessel and often made voyages to the East Indies and imported large quantities of
East India goods. He was gone for three years on one trip, and his family
feared he had been lost, but he returned laden with goods. She was b. in Rhode
Island, Dec. 4, 1754. She d. Panton, Vt., in 1802. M. 2d. 1803, Mrs. Trypena
Cameron of Vergennes, Vt.; she d. s. p. He was born in Lynn, Mass., but on
attaining his majority was a resident of the state of Rhode Island. About this
time the shot was fired at Lexington heard round the world. He enlisted in the
Continental army from that state and served for some time in the Rhode Island
state troops. An effort was made to secure the record of service of Rupee Bach-
eller from Charles P. Bennett, the Secretary of State of Rhode Island. He writes
under date of Jan. 25, 1897, as follows: "We have looked over our revolutionary
records and are unable to give you any facts in regard to Rupee Bacheller; our
early records were all destroyed in 1812, and the only records we have are what
muster and pay rolls we have been able to gather up. I think the pension office
in Washington could give you some information."

The record at Washington, D. C, is that "Ruppe Bachelder, a private in ^the
Rhode Island state troops, was granted a pension of $169.98 March 4, 1831,'' at
which time he was said to have been 82 years of age and a resident of Addison
County, Vermont." It is probable that, having served in the Revolutionary army,
he was paid for his services either in Continental money, which soon depreciated,
or was granted land in Vermont for such. He, however, resided in the Green
Mountain State from a short time after the war until his death. In his old age
he resided near his son-in-law, Jesse Grandey, in Panton, Vt.. and died at his
house in 1842. He often related incidents of the Revolution and how he helped
thrash the Hessians. He d. June 22, 1842. Res. Rhode Island, Hinesburg and

Also I give and bequeath three hundred and fifty dollars to my daughter Lucy.

and at his discretion apply the principal if necessary, to her comfortable support
during her life, and after her decease pay the residue thereof to her children

1823. After graduation he continued his studies in special lines
and for a time took charge of an academy at Nantucket, Mass.
In the year 1827 he became principal of the academy in Read-
ing, Mass.. which was then opened in a building also used by
the Unitarians of the town as a place of worship; he continued
in charge of this school till 1843. when Mr. Wait succeeded
him. He afterwards acted as an instructor in languages, both
ancient and modern. The remaining portion of his life he passed

iness connected with the settlement of estates and other kin-
dred matters, with which he was often intrusted on accoimt of
his well known integrity and sound judgment. He represented
the town in the legislature one year 1832-3, though never
an active politician. His political opinions were in very ;-trong
sympathy with the Whig party of his day. He served as select-
man, overseer of the poor, etc., for several years, but as a mem-
ber of the school committee his record was remarkable. He
was first elected to that position in 1828 and held it, in all, for
30 years. During most of that time teachers were selected by
the prudential committee of the several districts, but were sub-
ject to his examination and approval. Thorough scholarship
was his leading idea. Superficiality and shows of all kinds were
always distasteful to him. His work in the schools was very
valuable

Thomas Lord of Boston in the county of Suffolk, in the sd. commonwealth trader,
my executors herein named, their heirs and assigns, to hold the same to them the

cient for that purpose as shall be necessary to pay all my just debts owing at my
decease, and funeral charges and other incidental expenses and from the proceeds
thereof shall pay all such debts, funeral charges, and other incidental expences.
Secondly. Upon trust to permit my wife Hannah Batchelder to use and improve
all my real and personal estate, excepting such as is taken for the payment of the
debts and charges and expences aforesd. or so much thereof as she shall choose
to improve, and to receive and take the rents, income, interest, produce and profit
thereof during her natural life, to her sole use and benefit: provided however, that
if m}' said wife Hannah, shall not choose to improve all or any part of my real or

choose to improve, and in case of sale, shall put out the produce thereof at inter-
est or invest it, and from time to time change such investment, in such way, as
my executors shall deem most advantageous for all persons interested therein,
and shall pay over from time to time to my said wife so much of the rents, in-
come, interest, produce and profits of the said estate, or of the proceeds thereof as
she shall require - and thirdly upon trust from and immediately, or within a rea-

having regard to such advancements, all my said children shall share equally in
the income and benefit of my estate, and after having so divided the same into four
parts, one for each of my said four daughters and their respective children, my will

shall think best for the interest of all persons concerned therein, and shall from
time to time pay the interest, dividends and annual produce of the part set apart

whom and to whose children such part may belong or into the hand or hands of
such person or persons as she may by any note or writing under her hand shall,
from time to time, but not by way of anticipation, charge, or assignment, ap-
point to receive the same during the life of such a daughter, to the intent that the
same may be for her sole and separate use and may not be subject to the debts,
control, disposition or engagements of any present or future husband of such
daughter, and from and after the decease of any such daughter, my wrill is, that
my executors hold the same part or portion set apart for her and her children, and

shall direct or appoint; and in default of, and in the meantime vmtil some direc-
tion or appointment, shall be made, and as to so much, and such part or parts
thereof, whereof no such direction or appointment shall be made, an where the
same shall not be a complete and entire appointment as to the whole, in trust for

entitled to the same, by virtue of the statutes of distribution. Provided always,
that my executors shall be allowed to retain from time to time such sums as shall
be a reasonable compensation for their expenses and charges in executing the
trusts under this my last will and testament. And provided also, that in case of the
death of my executors, or of their refusing to accept, or resigning the trust hereby

Batchelder was son of Zachariah and Polly (Knowlton)
Batchelder; was b. in Beverly, Massachusetts, gr. Dartmouth
College 1821; practiced at Chichester and Wolfeborough; d.
Wolfeborough, May 11, 1869. The parents of Mr. Batchelder
removed shortly after his birth to Wendell, now Sunapee, in
that state, where his early years were spent. At the age of 20
he became a pupil in Kimball Union Academy, whence the next
year he entered college. It was his original desire to qualify
himself for the ministry, but upon mature consideration he be-
lieved himself better adapted to some other calling. The three
years after his graduation he spent in teaching at Meredith,
Salisbury, Winchester, and Northfield, Mass.; at the same time
reading law partly with Samuel S. Wells of Salisbury, and in
part with Benjamin Kimball of Winchester. He began to prac-
tice in Chichester, where he remained during the years iS.ij and
1828, and then removed to Wolfeborough, his home through
life. He was a fine scholar, especially in Greek and mathe-
matics, holding the third or fourth place in rank in his class,
and he never lost his knowledge by neglect afterwards. As
might be expected he was a well read and accurate lawyer. He
was regular in his habits and upright in his conduct, a quiet,
reserved man, who made no display of his capacity. He rarely
argued causes in court, though he was from 1841 to 1846 solic-
itor of the county. He never married.

Haverhill, N. H., at Granville, N. Y., b. March S, 1790, d. April 24, 1869. He was
a manufacturer and was at one time a member of the New Hampshire Legislature
and later of the Massachusetts General Court. His early life was spent in New

BATCHELLER GENEALOGY. 473

Ipswich, whither his parents had removed, and in 1808 he became interested in a
cotton factory at this place, which was the second that was erected in New Hamp-
shire. In 1825 he removed to Lowell, where he superintended the erection of the
Hamilton Company's mills. In 1831 he was called on to undertake the erection
of a cotton-mill for the York Manufacturing Company in Saco, Me., and to super-
intend its operations. The mills, under his management, were very successful,
and the plant and capital was greatly enlarged. In 1846 he removed to Cambridge,
Mass., where he continued to reside, and, although a representative in the Massa-
chusetts State Legislature, he yet for many years continued his relations with the
mills, being president of the Hamilton Manufacturing Company, the Appleton
Company, the Essex Company, the Everett Mills, the York Manufacturing Com-
pany, the Exeter Manufacturing Company — having an aggregate capital of $5,000,-
000. About 1832 he devised the first stop-motion to the drawing-frame, which
has since been used in this country and England. In 1832 he patented the steam-
cylinders and connections now universally used in dressing-frames tor drying
yarns. His greatest invention was the dynamometer used for ascertaining the
power for driving machinery. It was first used in the New York mills in 1837,
and was considered preferable to any known apparatus for determining the power
actually used in driving machinery. In early life he contributed to the "Boston
Monthly Anthology" and to the "Port Folio", and he was the author of the "Re-
sponsibilities of the North in Relation to Slavery" (Cambridge, 1856). and "Intro-
duction and Early Progress of the Cotton Manufacture in the United States"
(Boston, 1863). A sketch of his life was published in pamphlet form (Lowell,
1885). Among the many appreciative tributes to his character and career, the
following, from the Boston Daily Advertiser, will suffice: "We record to-day the
close of a life as remarkable for its usefulness as for its length. Mr. Samuel
Batchelder was one of the pioneers in the cotton manufacturing business in New
England, and was prominently connected with it, in one or more branches, with
scarcely any interruption from the year 1808, when he was twenty-four years of
age, until 1870, when he had already attained the venerable age of eighty-six
years — a period of sixty-two years. During this long term he enjoyed without
dispute the reputation of being one of the most sagacious and successful man-
agers in the country, and his connection with various enterprises was one of
almost unvarying profit. What is specially noteworthy in the life of Mr. Batchel-
der is the fact that from the start he was a man of science and invention. He
made himself acquainted not only with machinery, but he also mastered its princi-
ples and forces, and added from time to time improvements of his own. some of
which he patented, but most of which he contributed voluntarily to the art he
had espoused. He not only kept pace with the markets in supplying the fabrics
of the day, but made himself acquainted with the wants of our own and foreign
markets, so that many styles of goods which he designed became staple articles
of export to Hayti, Brazil and even India. The British government uniformed
their native troops in India with goods made at the York Mills. Mr. Batchelder
was very much more than a successful manufacturer. He was a many-sided man.
He was the inventor of several machines which are still in use, and are better
than anything that has been devised to supersede them. Moreover, he was inter-
ested in all that interests men, a shrewd observer and a sagacious counsellor. He
watched public affairs with intelligent earnestness, and displayed a remarkable
insight in reference to them. Naturally he was largely concerned with the eco-
nomical questions which came up from time to time in Congress. He was an
ardent and unbending advocate of the policy of protection to .American manu-
factures. His views on this and other subjects he set forth with much vigor and
clearness, and with not a little argumentative power, in numerous communications
in the public press. He was the author of a well-written and most interesting
pamphlet detailing the early history of the cotton manufacture in the United
States, written in 1863, when the author was already near his eightieth year. A
series of articles, ten in number, entitled "Free Trade and the Tariff." were pub-
lished in the newspapers in 1861. His contributions to current literature, though
not very frequent, continued almost to the close of his life. Several times within
the past year he has, in our own columns, commented upon passing events with
all the enthusiasm of youth, but also with the sagacity that should be gained with
age and experience. It is not claiming too much for him to say that his name
should be placed among those of eminent Americans. His life was in only a

limited sense public, but his success shows that if he had given his talents a differ-
ent direction he might have attained exalted station. He preferred to do the
duty that la}^ before him in that department of usefulness to which early training
and natural adaptability directed him. He did that duty thoroughly and accept-
ably, and his memory will be cherished not merely by his relatives and friends,
but by all who have had the benefit, during a long term of years, of his skill and
prudence in business." He d. Feb. 5, 1879. Res. New Ipswich, N. H., Lowell,

Wellington, b. Dec. 30, 1810; d. Dec. 31, 1889. Jacob Batchelder studied for a
time in the office of Hon. Rufus Choate, then in Danvers, and finished his prepar-
atory course at Bradford Academy, then in charge of Benj. Greenleaf, Esq.; he
entered Dartmouth College in 1826, and was graduated with very high honors in
1830; he intended to enter upon the study of law, but immediately after the close
of his college course he took charge of a high school in Tenipleton, Mass., and be-
coming interested in teaching he decided to make that his profession and life
work. In 1835 he was called to take charge of the Lynn Academy, an institution
which had been incorporated for many years, where he remained until the growth
of the city necessitated the establishment of a high school, and in 1849 he was
elected principal of that school, having been connected with the academy for four-
teen years. In 1856 he was called to Salem, where he remained as principal of the
High and Classical School until the close of 1861, when he returned to the High
School in Lynn. Subsequently, he was appointed under Government to the office
of Deputy Collector of Internal Revenue, which he held until the termination of
that service. He was also chosen librarian of the Free Public Library, which posi-
tion he retained until his death, which occurred very suddenly. He d. Dec. 17,

1301. i. MARY ANN, b. Oct. 29, 1834; unm.; res. Lynn. She came with

her parents from Templeton, Mass., to Lynn, when in her in-
fancy. At the age of nine she entered the Lynn Academy and
remained until her father took charge of the new high school.
She entered that school at its beginning, still under his tutor-
ship and was graduated at the close of the prescribed course of
three years. The same year she began a private school for chil-
dren, and in 1856, when her father assumed the principalship of
the high school in Salem, she was appointed an assistant in the
same school, and remained there during his term of service, re-
turning to Lynn when he did, after which she received private
pupils from the summer residents at the seashore here. She
also assisted her father in his duties as Collector and Librarian,
until she accepted a situation as accountant in one of the local
manufactories, where she remained until in 1868, she was urged
to go as a teacher to the South, under the auspices of the Sol-
diers' Memorial Society in Boston. She went to Richmond,
Va., and taught colored children in charge of the Freedmen's
Bureau, until the school was disbanded, and then she taught in
one of Boston's schools for the poor whites. She remained at
the South for two years, after which she again tried bookkeep-
ing, occupying the same position for ten years, when she re-
linquished it to care for her mother, who had become an in-
valid. Since her death she is the "old maid" sister, and aunt,
ready to fill up gaps and give her care wherever needed. Her
branch of the family was especially patriotic. At the time, 1861,
when her brothers entered the army, her uncles, the four broth-
ers of her father, were enlisted in different regiments — a good
military record.

1302. ii. CHARLES JACOB, b. Sept. 7. 1836; unm.; d. Sept. 9. 1862. At

an early age he entered the Lynn Academy under the tuition of
his father, and completed his studies through the regular course
at the high school, graduating therefrom in 1854. He was pre-
pared for a mercantile life and very soon entered a situation in
Boston, and in that and similar positions he remained for seven
' years, when he went to South America as clerk in a mercantile

house, but as this proved uncongenial and impracticable, he re-
turned to his home in Salem just before the attack upon Fort
Sumpter, and at once connected himself with the Salem Zou-
aves, and devoted himself to the thorough and systematic drill
for which the company was so famous, in preparation for com-
ing events. He and his brother enlisted with the company for
the service of their country, and on the i8th of April they were
transferred from a regiment of Home Guards to the patriotic
8th Mass. Reg't., and hastened to the defence of the Capitol.
Their career, while attached to and sharing in the eventful cam-
paign of the famous 8th, constitutes one of the brightest chap-
ters in the history of the Civil War. At the expiration of the
three months' term of service he enlisted as private in a com-
pany of Cavalry, which subsequently formed a part of Butler's
famous expedition to the Gulf. He went out in the old frigate
Constitution to Ship Island, and thence to New Orleans, where
the company shared in all the fortunes of the expedition. He
was present at the hanging of Mumford and formed a part of
the guard at that time — he was sent out against the Guerillas —
and was always industrious and faithful, never shirking hTs
duties, particularly during the battle of Baton Rouge. From the
effects of fatigue induced by his arduous duties at that battle,
being before weakened by indisposition, he never rallied, and
soon after his return to New Orleans he was seized with typhoid
fever and died at St. James' Hospital, in that city. He had been
commissioned as first lieut. of his company, but did not live to
be mustered into that service

1862. George Wellington Batchelder was born in Lynn, Dec.
20, 1838. He also was educated under his father's tuition in the
academy and high school. He was prepared lor college in the
latter school, and entered Harvard College in 1855 and was
graduated in 1859. He endeavored to obtain a situation as
teacher, before entering upon the study of his chosen profession
—the law — but not at once succeeding, he entered the law office
of Messrs. Peny & Endicott in Salem, and remained until the out-
break of the Civil War, when with the Salem Zouaves he has-
tened to the defense of the Capitol. He returned from his three
months' term of service Aug. i, and on the 3d of the same month
he enlisted for three years in the 19th Mass. Reg't. He was af-
terwards commissioned as first lieut. in that regiment, and on
Aug. 28, left for the seat of war. In Jan. 1862, he came to his
home on a brief furlough and was promoted to a captaincy in
the same regiment. He passed unscathed through all the bloody
conflicts on the Peninsula during that summer, until the san-
guinary battle of Antietam, Sept. 17, 1862. he received fatal
wounds from the effects of which he expired the same evening.
Kindly hands bore home his body to the city of his birth, and
after awaiting the return of his brother from New Orleans, on
Nov. 5, 1862, the brothers were laid at rest by soldiers and com-
rades in one grave, in Pine Grove Cemetery, in Lvnn.

of age, to Lowville, N. Y., where he lived until after his marriage, after which he
bought a piece of land on what was known as John Brown's Tract, moving from
there to Port Huron, Mich., in 1834, and built a mill on Black river, about seven
miles from Port Huron. It was in 1840 that he moved to Wisconsin and had a
farm and stopping place nine miles from Watertown, Jefferson countJ^ town of
Ixonia; from tliere he moved to a farm in Winnebago (3o., in '47 or '48. In 1855
he moved to Galesville, Trempealeau county, living there until i860, when he
moved to a farm a few miles away; in 1870 or '71 he moved back to Galesville,
where he lived until June, 1876, and accidentally met his death, and is buried in the
cemetery there. He learned his trade as a millwright with his father, going with
him to what was called the Grand Ottawa in Canada, when 18 years of age, and
always followed his trade, until about i860. He had charge of and built the
Rough and Ready mill at Watertown, the mill at Waukau, one at West Salem, and
the ones at Galesville, both grist and saw, and repaired a great many. He always
took great pride in his work and was greatly interested in the various improve-
ments going on in his line. Was a Whig in politics but joined the Republican
party on its organization, and never voted any other ticket. He was a great lover
of hunting deer, and that undoubtedly had much influence on his moving to a new
country as often as he did. He belonged to no religious sect but was very par-
ticular that his children did not scoff at or in any wav disturb anv one who did.

1821; d. July 1851. The subject of our sketch was b. at Lowville. N. Y. His par-
ents came originally from Worcester Co., Mass., had lived for a time in Vermont,
thence moved to the state of New York. At an early age Mr. B. was apprenticed
to a man in Prescott, Canada, to learn the wagonmakers' trade. He learned it
thoroughly as the character of his work afterwards testified. He very much dis-
liked the work. In 1836 he moved to Port Huron, Mich., and worked at various
things, principally millwright work, until he set up a wagon-shop and engaged
in the pursuit of the business he disliked. In 1842 he was married at Detroit,
Mich., to Miss Martha Mason. He continued in business in Port Huron until
the spring of 1850, when>he, with several other Port Huron people, started across
the plains for California. Mr. B. did not go with the party from Port Huron,
but joined them at St. Joseph, Mo. The trip was made in a wagon made during
the winter of 1849-50 by Mr. B. for the trip. On the way to join the party he
was burned out on a steamboat on the Ohio river and escaped with his gun and
the clothing he had on, losing all of the clothing prepared for the stay in Cali-
fornia. He nevertheless pushed on. After a stay of a little over two years in
California, during which time he had been moderately successful, he returned to
Port Huron. His wife had died during his absence, leaving two children in the
care of Mr. B.'s mother. After a short time spent in the grocery and feed busi-
ness he engaged, in 1854, in sawmill business with the late John Howard, Sr.,
and Henry Howard, his son, the partnership or, rather, ownership of mill con-
tinued up to i860, when Mr. B. bought out the interest of his partners and con-
tinued in the lumber business in Port Huron until 1875, building during that time
a new mill. He removed to Saginaw in 1878, where he and his son, in connection
with Mr. David Whitney of Detroit, built and operated a mill and salt works,
one of the largest on the river. He continued in this business till the time of his
death, Jan. 3, 1892. Mr. B. was 80 years and 6 months old at the time of his
death, and up to his last sickness, which only lasted one week, was noted for his
vigor of mind and body. Mr. B. was a natural mechanic, and was noted for
the thorough manner in which all mechanical work with which he was connected
was done. It was often said by the old inhabitants of Port Huron that the
reason he could not make any money making wagons was because he made
them too well; and one of the owners of some of his work exhibited to the
writer a sleigh and cart which were thirty years old and still in condition for
use. Mr. B. never desired public office, and rather avoided the same, but was
forced to accept some positions of trust and public service by his fellow-towns-
men. He was always active, very methodical in all his doings, and for the later
years of his life people who knew him told the time of the morning by seeing
him pass on his way down to business. In looks and general build he was said
to have the characteristics of the Batchelor family. He d. Jan. 3, 1892. Res.

ler was b. in the town of Stratton, Vt.. Sept. 18, 1806. When he was two years
old his parents removed t*^ the town of Edinburgh, Saratoga County, New York.
He received only the scan' education of the common school of that new country.
His business life was a school to him, so that at sixty years of age he was called
an educated man. He, in company with an older brother (Sherman Batcheller),
engaged in the manufacture of wooden ware, and built up a village around them,
whose inhabitants were noted for their intelligence and pubHc spirit. At first
their wares went to Albany l.y team and down the Hudson river by sloop to New
York. He was engaged in cliis business all his life, or till he was seventy years
old. His energy and tact insured him success in his business, and to-day his
name is a synonym for honest}- in all that region. In politics he was an ardent
Whig till 1856, since which time he voted the Republican ticket. He was too
busy to hold office, yet his friends compelled him to be a candidate for Supervisor,
and he was elected, the first Whig Supervisor of the town of Edinburgh. The last
two years of his life were spent with his daughter, Mrs. Isaac Noyes, in Waterloo,
Nebraska, where he died. The remains were interred in the family lot in Batchel-
lerville, N. Y. He d. in Waterloo, Neb., April 20, 1888. Res. Batchellerville,

Noyes: res. Waterloo, Neb. He was b. Jan. 9, 1828. Isaac
Noyes was born in Batchellerville, Saratoga County, New York,
Jan. 9, 1828. His parents came from southern Vermont and
settled in that county in 1807, being pioneers in that new coun-
try, where it required all the energy, industry and economy of
the old Puritanic stock to clear away the forest and support a
family on a farm. He was educated in the common schools
and in the State Normal School of Albany, N. Y. He came to_
Nebraska in the spring of 1857, and pre-empted 160 acres of
land and purchased adjoining land, which constitutes the farm
on which he now resides. In 1859 he returned to New York
and married Miss Addie T.. daughter of Samuel Batcheller. a
prominent citizen and manufacturer of wooden ware. The war
coming on, he remained in the East and engaged in the manu-
facture of wooden ware until the spring of 1879, when he came
to Nebraska to remain permanently. He came from Democratic
stock, but when that party attempted to fasten slavery upon
Kansas and Nebraska he became an ardent Republican and
voted for John C. Fremont in 1856. Since that time he has
been an active worker for the success of Republican principles,
especially for protection to American industries and American
labor. In 1864 he was elected Supervisor of his native town,
and was obliged to give his time entirely to the enlistment of
soldiers to fill the quota of that town under the last call of
President Lincoln. In 1875 he was elected member of Assem-
bly from the Second District of Saratoga County. New York,
which included Saratoga Springs. The next year he was re-
elected. In both sessions he was chairman of the Committee
on Villages. Since coming to Nebraska he has lived on the
farm on which he now resides— one of the largest and best m
the county of Douglas. In 1892 he seemed to be the choice of
the Republicans of Douglas County as candidate for Governor
of the State; but while the second ballot was being taken he was

BATCHELLER GENEALOGY. 487

called to the platform, and at the close of a short speech he
withdrew his name in the interest of Governor Crounse. In
1893 he was elected State Senator to fill a vacancy caused by
the death of Senator Clarke. In 1894 he was re-elected Senator
from Douglas County by a plurality of about 4,000. His ances-
tors were Presbyterians, his grandfather and father having been
elders in that church. He is now an elder in the Presbyterian
Church of Waterloo, yet he believes in the largest liberty of
conscience and a union of effort among all Christians to evan-
gelize the world. Ch.: (i) Carlton B. Noyes, b. Feb. 22, 1864;

toga County, N. Y.,_ on the 13th of October, 1817. His education was received at
the district school b'efore his thirteenth year. After that he joined his father and
two older brothers, Samuel and Sherman, in the manufacture of measures, which
at that time was all done by hand. Soon after the death of his father, his brothers
and himself built a factory on the banks of a mountain stream (where machinery
was first used in making measures). Soon after, one brother (Sherman) left the
firm, and built a new factory just below on the same stream, where he manufact-
ured flour-pails, sap-buckets, etc. The village which soon sprung up there was
called Batchellerville. The nearest market in those early days was Albany. He always
claimed in after life that his greatest joy of his early life was when it came his turn
to take a load of measures to market, and bring back a load of provisions. At the
age of twenty he married Betsy Graves, who bore him two sons, John G. and Oli-
ver A. Soon after the birth of Oliver his wife died, and on Dec. 10, 1843, he mar-
ried Emily Smith, who in 1853 bore him his son Albert R. About 1870 he prac-
tically retired from active business. As a business man he was honest and straight-
forward, and had the confidence of all. As a citizen and neighbor he was highly
esteemed. He was a consistent member cA the Presbyterian church, and in poli-
tics was a staunch Republican from the birth of that party. He died in 1889 at the
age of seventy-two years, in the same house where he had lived for more than fifty
years. He d. Sept. 23. 1889. Res. Batchellerville, N. Y.

until 1849, when he came to Lowville. He was married in Lowville to his first
wife. Miss Mary Lampher. daughter of Abel Lampher, in March, 1839. He mar-
ried his second wife. Miss Sophia Stevens, in 1849. Upon the occasion of his sec-
ond marriage Mr. Batcheller removed to Lowville, where he resided until his
death in 1879. He was a man of remarkable will power and clear foresight; with
him to project was to perform. He was especially active and earnest in behalf of
religion and temperance, and every good cause found in him a steadfast and will-

Alexander, b. Aug. 6, 1882. Robert Alexander, a prominent law-
yer of Philadelphia, was born in Bucks County, Pennsylvania.
He was admitted to the bar 1871, since which time he has acted
as counsel and taken part in arguments in many of the leading
cases that have been of late years before the Pennsylvania
courts. In 1844 he was appointed First Assistant Solicitor.
During his term of duty in this position Mr. Alexander took
an active part in the new adjustment of municipal affairs made
necessary by the requirements of the Bullitt Bill, which required
all the legal ability. During the period of Mr. Alexander's serv-
ice many matters of litigation to which the city was aparty fell
into his hands, all of which he handled with the skill and ability
for which he is noted. After spending six years in the office
of City Solicitor, Mr. Alexander withdrew from official service
and returned to his private practice, which demanded all his
time and attention. A notable instance of his legal service was
his connection with the Bardsley case, in which he acted as
counsel for the derelict City Treasurer, whose case he handled
with a line ability and judgment that won the admiration of
his opponents at the bar, and excited the deep and earnest
attention of the general community. As a« lawyer Mr. Alex-
ander is well read, abundantly trained and thoroughly equipped
in his profession. Sound in judgment, clear in arrangement
and logical in argument, he is strong alike before the court
and the jury, and holds a high position at the Philadelphia bar.

Claric, b. June 9, 1839. Justin Batcheller was born in Arlington, Vt. In 1835 the
family moved to Wallingford, where Mr. Batcheller has ever since lived. He was
married to Henrietta Clark of the same town. For twelve years he and his
brother-in-law, Mr. Scribner, were merchants in the town, but m 1868 they dis-
solved partnership to become members of the firm of Batcheller & Sons, now the
Batcheller Sons Company. This has continued to hold the larger share of Mr.
Batcheller's business interest, although he has at the same time been more or less
active in other pursuits in Rutland and vicinity. Though not an active politician,
Mr. Batcheller has always shown a deep interest in the welfare of the community,
voting with the Republican party. In 1866 he became a member of the Congrega-
tional Church, of which he is a staunch supporter. Res. Wallingford, Vt.

and he was for some years variously employed until 1867, when he went to Iowa.
He remained there but a short time, when he returned to Boston and agam en-
gaged in the restaurant business, which was destroyed by the great fire of 1872.

Bradford Batchelder, second son of Joseph and Anne (Cochran) Batchelder, was
b. in Vermont, passing his early years on his father's farm in that state. Havinga
desire for a different life, at the age of 17 he apprenticed himself to a jeweler in
Boston, but before completing his trade was obliged by severe illness to return
home. Three years after his marriage to Louisa Ann Farnsworth, tiring of farm-
ing among the hills and stones, he took his wife and year old child (Emma) in
company with his father's family, to the wilds of Illinois — Thorn Grove, 30 miles
south of Chicago. His was the first frame house in that locality and though not
large was dignified by the name of "Tavern." Four years were passed in this rural
life, when he removed to the growing "village" of Chicago, purchasing a residence
lot, 122 Wells St., 30x80 feet, for $175. being on the very edge of the improved part
of the town, though between Washington and Madison Sts. Here, for a time, he
was clerk in the store of Hamilton & White. Later on was for years a botanic
physician, doing good service during the dread cholera seasons. He was quite a
bible student, though never accepting the orthodox interpretation thereof. He
was a man of strict integrity, honest and honorable in his dealings; genial, affable,
making many friends among the early settlers: a man of refined tastes and good
and temperate habits, and clear sighted in usiness matters. He was an unfortu-
nate participant in the terrors of the great Chicago fire of 1871, never fully recover-
ing from the shock; his income swept away, many friends made horneless. He
was from this time physically and mentally unfitted for any active business. The
property he had acquired had made him quite wealthy. Having lost his wife and

1892. John Burritt Mulliken, eldest son of Henry and Ermina
(Burritt) Mulliken, was b. in Campbelltown. N. Y., and with his
parents removed in an early day to Bebee Grove, Will Co., 111.,
30 miles southeast of Chicago. There he lived on a farm with
his parents, attending the district school (a notably good one for
those days) till 15 years of age. when he received an invitation
from an uncle, Dr. Harvey Burritt of Maumee City, O., which
he gladly accepted, becoming a member of his household, when
he took his first lessons in business in his uncle's drug store, af-
terward spent a time in the same busines, with Hon. las. M.
Ashley in Toledo. From here he returned to Illinois, where he
was assistant mail agent on the I. C. R. R., for a short time,
when he secured employment as station agent at Mattoon, but
within the year taking a place as clerk in the freight offuv of the
old G. & C. U. Ry. in Chicago During this year having just
attained to his majority, he was married to Emma Annette, eld-
est daughter of Dr. J. B. Batchelder. When scarcely settled in
their unpretentious cottage on the North Side, he was ofifered
Rockford station, and the young couple "staid not on the order
of their going." Seven years spent in this beautiful city were
years of experience and growth. He and his wife became iden-
tified with the Unitarian Society and soon made many friends.
Here he was made Mason, taking an active interest in that order
from this time on. Next he held the same position with the
same railroad at Belvidere, being also American- Express Agent.
Here both were active in the Universalist Society. He was
High Priest of the Chapter of R' A. Masons here for several
years. At the end of six years a desirable situation was ofifered
him, which he gladly accepted, as local agent for the C. & N. W.
road, also the R. I. & St. L.. at the thriving city of Sterling which
position he acceptably filled for three years, gaining the e?teem
and confidence of the citizens of the place. Then came a well
earned promotion on the same railroad as local and general
freight agent of the Winona & St. Peter Division, with head-
quarters at Winona, Minn., where a delightful summei" was spent
(with his wife and four children). In the autumn the company
favored his taking a position as superintendent of their Penin-
sular Division, with his office and residence at Escanaba. Mich.
This he accepted, though rather against h s best judgment, the
increase of salary being small compensation for the lack of edu-
cational facilities. The next spring — May i875^Mr. Mu'liken
took a position in Detroit as superintendent of the Detroit, Lan-
sing & Lake Michigan Railroad, and later on was made general
manager of the same road, the name being changed to the De-

sixty-five years. Miss Charlotte Bachellor was a native of Bos-

"Soldan," Capt. Plummer. but they did not reach their field of
labor at Tavoy until May i, 1851. On the opening of a mission
station at Herzada, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas removed to that field
and became the founders of the Karen work, which yet bears
the impress of their faithfulness and devotion. Too long and
unremittingly did they cling to their loved work, and when at
last they were forced to return to America, Mrs. Thomas landed
in New York with her husband, June 8. 1868, only to see hmi
pass from her two days later, worn beyond recovery by his se-
vere and protracted labors in the jungles of Burma. For sev-

son, but in 1874 she returned to Henzada to resume her position
as the "mother" of the mission. Her wise and quiet counsels
were an inestimable blessing to the native converts, and safely
guided the mission when, as sometimes occurred, no male mis-
sionary was stationed at Henzada. She was the first to begin
mission labors among the Chins. In 1889, Mrs. Thomas again
visited America, returning to Burma in 1892. During her last
visit, she became widely known to Baptists in several sections
of this country and, although always quiet and retiring in her
manners, she made a profound and favorable impression in the
interest of missions wherever she went. The last few years have
been passed in the home of her son, now at the head of the
Burman Department of the Theological Seminary at Insein. On
her return, Mrs. Thomas was not strong, but Burma had become
her home. Her chief interests on earth were there, and there
she preferred to pass the remainder of her earthly life. Now she
has begun the life of eternal strength and joy. In a very rare
degree was the life of Mrs. Thomas absorbed in her missionary
work. She was a fit mate to her husband who sacrificed his life
on the altar of service for Christ among the brethren, and a fit
mother to her son who has become one of the most variously
and widely useful of the missionary staff of Burma. Her natural
disposition was modest and retiring, but zeal for the Lord's
cause made her one of the most useful and profoundly impres-
sive of the noble army of Baptist women who have gone forth
to labor for the heathen. Her life was a blessing to others, her
reward will be blessed to herself. Sincere sympathy is extended
to all the bereaved circle of friends at home and abroad."

80 years, the high winds nearly destroyed the house, through the mismanagement
of the carpenters. But his ardor was not weakened for he again bought ground
and built in another part of the village. This house was also completed and ready

Yohe. At the time of their marriage he was serving as a com-
missioned ofificer in a Penn. Reg't. in the Civil War. His father
was proprietor of the Eagle Hotel in Bethlehem, then^ famous
for its excellence in all the country far and wide. Lizzie's moth-
er died when she was so young she can scarcely remember her,
and the relations between herself and stepmother were such that
she was placed with her aunt Augusta Robbins, by whom she
was reared and to whom she was devotedly attached, until she
was 12 years old, when she started out to earn her own living.
Wherever she located she was very successful and very popular.
At one time she resided in Canada; at the time of her marriage
she was carrying on her business in Bethlehem, and had been

for three or four years Except for a brief period subsequent to
her marriage she continuec- --i business, most of the time in the
marble front, 1016 Chestnut St., Philadelphia, working for some
of the wealthiest people in the state, until her daughter was able
to provide a home for her. Wm. was very dark complexioned,
talented, musical, fascinating, artistic, an excellent "putty" mak-
er. Lizzie, besides being mistress of her business, was a good
sinp-er, frequently having engagements with prominent churches
in Philadelphia fo" their choirs. She has dramatized quite nice-
ly "The Scarlet Letter." but I believe she has never presented
it to any manager. The only fruit of the marriage is Mary
Augusta Yohe, widely known as May Yohe, the opera singer.
She was born at Bethlehem. Pa., April 6, 1866, and was bap-
tized into the Moravian church at that city April 6, 1867. It
was about that time her mother commenced business in Phila-
delphia, and there May continued to reside until about 12 years
of age. when her mother sent her to Europe to be politely edu-
cated. After an absence of nearly three years she returned

MAY VOHK,

home, her father meanwhile having died in Montana. Now she
first began to manifest a talent for music and a desire for the
stage. Her first appearance was as a chorus girl, but it was from
her success in rendering Prince Prettywitz in the Crystal Slip-
per at the Chicago opera house in the summer of 1887, that her
career may be said to have dated. She has toured extensively,
having visited Britain at least twice and also Australia, before
her final trip to England, which terminated in her making that
country her home, as the wife of Sir Francis Pelham — Clinton
Beresford Hope (1894), younger brother of the present Duke of
Manchester, whose life is slowly ebbing away and to whose
titles and estates, the present Duke, being childless. Sir Francis
will succeed. She is thoroughly in love with her profession,
and for that reason and that only, remains on the stage. Her
husband gallantly and devotedly escorts her wherever she goes.
It was a genuine love match. She is as much distinguished for
her steadfast attachment to old friends as for her sturdy inde-
pendence. This she not only inherited from each parent; but she

has never known higher authority than her own sweet will. Re-
cently her natural kindness of heart has practically manifested
itself in a radical but systematic attempt to elevate and improve
the condition of her husband's tenants. One of her striking traits
is her regard for old friends irrespective of their social position,
as is well brought out in the following characteristic anecdote:
One evening when playing in one of our large cities a distin-
guished English nobleman sent up his card and asked her to
dine with him after the performance. She accepted the invita-
tion but when she came down to the reception room she also
discovered there an old friend she had not seen for some years.
She went right up to him and greeted him cordially, accepting
at once his invitation to dinner. Turning to the discomfited
Englishman she waved her hand saucily to him, exclaiming,
"Ta, ta, Duke, ta, ta!" and left the apartment with her new
escort. May Yohe, now Lord Francis Hope's wife, is the pre-
sumptive heir to the title of Duchess of Newcastle. It is by no
means certain that Lady May will be here this year, but an at-
tempt to secure her has been making for some time, and the
engagement is sure to come to pass yet, as the one-time favorite
is not rich, if she is titled, and a good, financially successful tour
would be very welcome to her exchequer. It is seven years ago
this month — September, 1888 — that May Yohe made her first suc-
cess in Boston, and from that time her career was a venture-

LuRD .VM) L.\DY FR.\NCIS HOl'K

some one. At that time she was about 17, and was the prime
attraction in a spectacular production of "Cinderella," hailing
from Chicago. When that show left Boston, May Yohe stayed
behind, and was for some time a resident of Columbus Ave.,
where her lithe young figure, with its bouyant carriage, and her
saucy face, with its big, dark eyes and ruby lips, became very
well known. She went abroad about three years ago and made
an almost instantaneous hit, and has been popular ever since.
Among her hits are Martina in "The Magic Opal," at the Lyric
Theatre, London, Jan. 19, 1893; Nitouche in the comic opera of
the name. May 6, 1893; the title role of "The Lady Slavey," Oct.
1894, at the Avenue Theatre; and in "Dandy Dick Whittington,"
at the same theatre, in March of this year. Every one knows

Miss Yohe's vocal peculiarities. She has a voice of limited range,
a deep, musical, but peculiar contralto. That has been one of
her charms to the Londoners. This year (1897) she retired from
the stage at the request of, the dowager duchess of Newcastle.

read all the books, nearly, in Norristown, Pa., public library. He built a toy
steam stationary engine which worked to a charm; he invented a wagon to run
by weight, invented an alarm to be placed in the second story and attached to the

■on Sac and Fox reserve; summer of 1859 traded it off for a team and traveled from
there to Beardstown, 111., by land, by way of Quincy to Jacksonville; stayed there
till spring of 1861, when the war broke out; all this previous time working at his
trade as a first class carpenter whenever stopped long enough. In the spring of
1861 he enlisted in the 14th 111. Infantry. Col. John M. Palmer; saw service in
Missouri and was with Freemont at Springfield; was offered a lieutenancy, but de-
clined; was transferred to the quartermaster's department and appointed wagon

and he afterwards worked at his trade. He learned stair building and in 1867
-went to Omaha, Neb., and later to Wyandott, Kansas, learned draughting and
architecture and became a first-class builder. In the spring of 1873 he was elected
to the city council and served two years as president of that body, became a good
debater and parliamentarian; the fall of 1874 was nominated County Commissioner
as a Republican; was beaten by whiskey men on account of a question of license,
and then renounced politics. Later he went to California, then to Pennsylvania;

prenticed himself to Capt. Henry Mason, of Wheeling, on steamer Tioga, to learn
to be a pilot, and in 1849 he bought the interest of Capt. John Klinefelter in the
steamer Hibernia No. 2, of the Pittsburgh and Cincinnati Packet Line, and as-
sumed command. In 1853 he took command of the famous Allegheny, and built

million dollars, and wound up with the Government in his debt. In 1867 he became
president of the Eagle Cotton Mills Company of Pittsburgh, where he continued
until 1873. In 1868 he was made president of the Masonic Bank of Pittsburgh,
where he continued until 1884, when he resigned to become acting president of the

tinued his connection with the Kej'stone Bank, but resigned the presidency of
the Oil Exchange. He was the president of the Natural Gas Company of West
Virgina, furnishing gas to the city of Wheeling, and secretary and treasurer of the
Natural Gas Company, Limited, of Pittsburgh, the first gas company that ever
handled gas for manufacturing purposes, which was in 1875. During his steam-

records of the M. E. Church in Bethlehem, N. H., in 1828. He was prominent in
that church from 1818 to 1858, when he severed his connection with the Bethlehem
church and fully identified himself with the M. E. church in Littleton. He was
steward and trustee most of the time for thirty years at Bethlehem. He was one
of a committee of five to build the church at Bethlehem in 1830. He aided largely
in building the church at Littleton in 1852. He was collector of taxes in 1843, a
Democrat and later a Van Buren Independent and Free Soiler. Lived on the farm
in West Hill district, formerly known as the Batchellor place, and now as the
■Glessner place. His second wife's paternal grandfather served in Ashley's N, H.
Reg't. in the Revolutionary War, and her niaternal grandfather, Joel Priest, did
duty in Bedel's Rangers and Scammell's N. H. Reg't. of the Continental line. He

i860: m. Israel Octave Blake at Littleton, N. H., Oct. 29. 1891;
both reside at No. 635 Park Ave., New York city. They have
two children. Jennett C. Batchellor was educated at the high
schools at Littleton, N. H., and at the one time famous New^
bury Seminary at Newbury, Vt. Her course of study at that in-
stitution was in the period from 1852 to 1855. At an early age
she was engaged as a teacher and continued in that occupation
until her marriage. In this work she achieved marked success.
As a physician's wife she was a model of helpfulness and tact.
No small share of her husband's success was attributable to her
devoted co-operation in his professional labors. In general lit-
erature and in medical progress she was an industrious and crit-
ical student. The only child of Dr. and Mrs. Bugbee was a
daughter who was a graduate of the Littleton High School and
the Boston School of Oratory. This family absorbed the atten-
tion and energy of the mother until the circle was broken by
the daughter's marriage, which was followed shortly by the
father's decease. Mrs. Bubgee became a member of the Trin-
itarian Congregationalist Church at Littleton by profession of
faith, in May 1866, and still retains that connection. She now
resides with her daughter, Mrs. Blake, in the city of New York,
and is permitted to find the freshening of her own life in the
companionship of children's children. (Ra'ph Bugbee, Jr., was
of a family* noted in medical annals. His father, Ralph Bug-
bee, Sr., was for more than half a century a prominent physician
at Waterford, Vt , and three brothers, Abel G., Frank and La-
Fayctte, have been distinguished in the profession of medicine.
Ralph, Jr.. early began the study of medicine with his father;
he took his degree at the Medical College at Castleton, Vt., Oct.
4, 1845, and began practice at once in his native town, where he
remained nine years. He was located at Franconia, N. H., three
years, and, in 1857, removed to Littleton, where he afterwards
enjoyed an extensive and lucrative practice. He acquired a wide

reputation for his successful treatment of a class of chronic dis-
eases which brought him patients from distant states. He was
also noted as a surgeon. He was three times married. His first
. wife was Phebe J. Tifift to whom he was married in 1846. She
died soon after, and, in 1847, he married Mary Barker, by whom
he had one son, Geo. R. Bugbee. M. D., now of Wausau, Mara-
thon county, Wisconsin. In 1856 he married Jennett C. Batch-
ellor of Bethlehem, N. H. Dr. Bugbee was in politics first a
Whig and afterwards a Republican. He never held civil ofKce.
He was a Freemason, having been a member of Burns Lodge
No. 66 at Littleton for a period of thirty years. He was a
member of the White Mountain (N. H.), the Caledonia, and
Vermont State Medical Societies. He united with the Trinitar-
ian Congregationalist Church at Lower Waterford. Vt., Jan. 5,
1851, and never changed his church relations. The late Frank J.
Eastman, like Dr. Bugbee, a Vermonter in New Hampshire, in
a historical paper prepared for the Littleton Centennial (p. 97),
made the following appreciative mention of the doctor: "He
possesses an inborn capacity and aptitude for surgery, and has
an accurate eye for anatomical proportion. He stands well in
the treatment of acute diseases and excels in those that are
chronic. His thoroughness and persistence have resulted in
phenomenal recoveries. He is an adept in nursing and staying
the trip on the down hill side of life. The aches and outs of
natural decay, whether heralded by broken veins or the ulcers
of old age, obtain soothing relief from the store-house of his
resources, whether existing in the imagination or in materiality
as malignant as the sores of Lazarus. With these endowments
his professional engagements could have been only extensive.
He is an excellent financier and invests his funds as skillfully as
he mends a shattered limb. For years Dr. Bugbee has patiently
worked at his profession, and, when he shall have made his last
prescription, his tombstone can we!l bare the inscription, 'Here
lies a man who has been useful to mankind.' ")•
1627. vii. CHARLES WM., b. Oct. 28, 18.38: d. unm. July 2, 1804. Charles
William Batchellor was born at Bethlehem, N. H. He enlisted
Aug. 8, 1862 in Company D. 13th Reg't. N. H. Vol. Infantry;
was mustered in Sept. 19, 1862, and was wounded in the hip by
a gun-shot at Providence Church Road in the seige of Suffolk,
May 3, 1863, and at Proctor's and Kingsland Creek severely by
gun-shot in the upper arm. May 13, 1864. He died of wounds
at Point Lookout, Md.. July 2. 1864, and was buried in Glen-
wood Cemetery in Littleton. He resided in Littleton in 1859
and in i860 and again in 1864. Other than at these periods his
home was in Bethlehem in the part of the town known as West
Hill, He was unmarried In 1863 he was promoted Sergeant
to succeed Benj. W. Kilburu, discharged. From Nov. 9, 1863
to Feb. 6, 1864, he was Commissary Sergt. of the large contra-
band camp near Portsmouth, Va. Preferring service wnth his
old comrades, he declined the proffer of a commission in U. S.
C. T. He participated in the battles of Fredericksburg, Va.,

May 7, Swift Creek. May 9, 10. and Proctor's and Kingsland
Creek, May 12, 13, 1864. His father served in 1814 in the waf
with England, and ancestors, both paternal and maternal, were
soldiers of the Revolution. Among them were Maj. Samuel
Smith of Ashley's Chesire regiment, Joel Priest of Bedel's
Rangers and Scammel's N. H. Regiment of the Continental
Line, and Lieut. Nehemiah Batchellor of Col. Mcintosh's Mass.
Reg't. in the Rhode Island Expedition of 1778 and a participant

in several other campaigns, including the Lexington alarm.
Sergeant Batchellor in religious affiliation was a Methodist, as
were his parents. His academic education was acquired in the
High School at Littleton, and the Conference Seminary at
Northfield. His mother was with him in the hospital and
nursed him through the month of June till his death. — (Abbot's
Hist. First Reg't., p. 278). An obituary of Sergt. Batchellor by
Rev. S. E. Quimby, is published in Zion's Herald, Nov. 9. 1864.
The People's Journal of Littleton, edited by Maj. Wni. J. Bel-
lows, made the following comment on the death of Sergt. Batch-
ellor: "He was a brave soldier, and commanded the respect of
all who knew him. He has may friends in this place, who will
sadily mourn his sudden death and the loss of so brave and faith-
ful a soldier."

The following appreciative passages appear in Thompson's
History of the Thirteenth Regiment: 'Tn a letter written from
Hammond Hospital, Point Lookout. Md., Sergt. Batchellor
states: 'Company D. was thrown out as skirmishers to the ex-
treme front on Friday, May 13. In the afternoon the enemy
charged and drove us back, then we forced them back again.
About 4 p. m. I stepped back to speak with Lieut. Sherman,
the rebel sharp-shooters got range of me, and shot me in the
arm while my gun was in my hand. The bullet broke my arm
between the shoulder and the elbow. Surgeons Richardson
and Small operated on the arm, taking out several pieces of
bone. They then sent me to Point of Rocks (Corps Hospital)
and from there here.' — (Sergt. Charles W. Batchellor). From
this wound he never recovered, but died on July 2d from the
effects of it. He was a good soldier, efficient and conscientious
in performing all his duties, and a universal favorite in the reg-
iment, which lost in him one of its very best men."

Rev. Wesley Batcheller, son of Rev. Elijah and Patty Hubbard Batcheller, was b.
at Brimfield, Hamden county. In 1804 his parents removed with their family to
Homer, Courtland county, N. Y. Wesley Batcheller was converted at a camp
meeting held near Cazenovia, Sept. 1814, He became a probationer in the Meth-
odist Episcopal church at Courtland Village the month of his conversion, and
was received into full membership the following year by Rev. Palmer Roberts, the
pastor. He was licensed to exhort by Rev. James Helsey, Nov. 20, 1820, at Preble,
Courtland county. New York. He was licensed to preach May 25, 1823, and or-
dained local deacon at Ithica by Bishop Roberts, July 7, 1828. At the annual con-
ference during which Geneseo and Oneida conferences were separated, he was ap-
pointed agent of the Cazenovia Seminary. In the fall of 1831 he was received on
probation in the Oneida conference and appointed to Madison Circuit, to which
charge he was reappointed at the next conference session, Sept. 29, 1833. He was
ordained elder by Bishop Elijah Hedding at Cazenovia, and appointed to Caze-
novia Circuit. In Sept. 1836 he moved with his family to La Salle Co., 111., and
settled near Big Indian Creek, where in 1832 had occurred the horrible massacre
of the Hall, Davises and Pedigree families. He had "located" in the Oneida con-
ference in 1836, but after settling in La Salle he traveled and preached in the sur-
rounding country. In 1839 he joined the Illinois conference and was appointed to
Indian Creek Circuit and later he was transferred to Ottawa. When the Rock
River Conference was organized at Mt. Morris in 1840 he was present and be-
came a member. He was appointed three times successively to Lockport, Prince-
ton and Newark Circuits. His health failing, he took a superannuated relation,
supplying Newark Circuit and afterwards was bible agent for La Salle, Hendle and
De Kalb counties. He attended funerals and performed marriage ceremonies all
over the country and was an honored and a most welcome guest in all the homes of
the early settlers. Rev. Batcheller was married to Miss Patience Hall in Plomer,
Courtland Co., N. Y., by Rev. Elijah Batcheller. They raised a family of nine
children. He was again married to Mrs. Sampson of Freedom, and being unable
to do any further public work retired to his home at Freedom, where he died, aged
93. He d. Freedom, 111., March 17, 1891. Res. Homer, N. Y.

schools of Sutton and Millbury, and before attaining his majority, he joined his
father at Auburn, Mass., who was extensively engaged in the manufacture of
scythes. He continued some years with his father, but for better accommodations
moved to Grafton, Mass. The Batcheller scythes were famous throughout the
United States for their durability, and fine cutting qualities; this depended on their
superior temper, which was done by a method known only to himself and his
father. Herein lay the great superiority of his goods above all other manufacturers
in that line of business. He also carried on at this time an extensive business in

the manufacture of plumbago. In politics he was an ardent Jefifersonian Demo-
crat, and later in life was a convert to Andrew Jackson, upholding strongly his
policy in the matter of finances. He took quite an active part in championing the
cause of his party and was a fluent conversationalist, and earnest debator. During
the Dorr Rebellion in Rhode Island, which occurred in 1842, he was a resident of
that state and sympathized with the cause, but took no active part with the leaders.

Batcheller, M. D., grandson of Abner,
and son of Moses and Polly (Chase)
Batcheller, was b. in Sutton, Mass., Dec.
2, 1811. He received his early educa'ion
in the public schools of that place. At
an early age he developed a natural fond-
ness for the study of botany and med-
icine. As he advanced in years this fond-
ness became stronger and he availed
himself of every opportunity to acquire
a medical education. By honest toil and
indefatigable energy, in those days of
privation and hardship, he gained a com-
petency sui^cient to enter Worcester
Medical College. Worcester, Mass., from
which he graduated at the age of 22
years. He commenced the practice^ of
medicine in his native town, and re-
mained there until 1843, when he moved
to the town of Burrillville, R. I. Here
he worked himself into an extensive
practice and his name is a household
word among the old residents of that vi-
cinity and for many miles around. While
in Sutton he was twice married. His
first wife, Lucy Dean, lived less than two
years and died, leaving one child. His
second wife, Ruth Young, lived but a short time and died, leaving one child. Af-
ter settling in Burrillville he married Kezia Wallin, by whom he had five children.
In 1865, owing to failing health and a serious asmatic trouble, he was obliged to
seek a dififerent climate, and moved, with his family, to Wilmington, Houston Co.,
Minnesota. Here he followed his profession until 1865, when he bought a farm
near Cedar Falls, Iowa, and settled there. Here he continued the practice of med-
icine until failing health compelled him to retire from active life. He died Sept. 29,
1878. Dr. Batcheller was a man of kind and genial disposition and made many
friends wherever he settled. He was a keen judge of human nature, and while he

■ 1008. REV. LEONARD BATCHELOR (Jonas, Abner, Abraham, David,
John. Joseph), b. West Sutton, Mass., March 18, 1810; m. Hannah Stone, b. April
25, 1816; d. Aug. 31, 1873. Leonard Batchelor was born in the town of West Sut-
ton, Mass., in 1810. He removed with his parents to Abington, Luzerne (now
Lackawanna) county. Pa., during early boyhood. The family was poor, and the
struggle for existence in a new country was soon intensified by the death by

622 BATCHELLER GENEALOGY.

drowning of the father, leaving the mother with her three children — Leonard, Ab-
ner and Rebecca — in desperate circumstances. Most nobly the mother met the
emergency, gaining the respect and esteem of the community by her homely vir-
tues and beautiful Christian character. Further sorrow soon came to the little
family in the tragic death of Abner, by the falling of a tree, the felling of which
he was watching with boyish curiosity. Leonard devoted his energies to helping
his mother, and gaining the limited education the country schools afforded. As
he grew into sturdy young manhood, the construction of the Erie Ry. and the
Delaware & Hudson Canal afforded opportunity for the obtaining of ready money,
a scarce article in the back woods in which he lived. Leaving home, he labored
with pick, shovel and wheelbarrow on these great works, thus helping those at
home and himself, as he could not have otherwise have done. These enterprises
completed, he returned home, and, having a mercantile bent, soon drifted to Dun-
dafif, Susquehanna county, then one of the rising towns of the new country. His
mother had in the mean time married David Stanton. He soon became a valued
assistant in the store of his employer, and developed the business capacity so
marked in his later days. The experiences of his life, while laboring on canal and
railroad, and for a time after coming to Dundafif, were not such as to promote his
highest moral good, but, in answer to his mother's prayers, the "great change"
came in his life, and he became earnest in pursuit of righteousness. He had by this
time arrived at the age of 2$ years or more, and feeling an impulse toward
the ministry, he struggled through two years at Amherst College, and one year at
Union Seminary, but becoming convinced that he was not fitted for the ministry,
he gave up the idea, and turned his attention again to business, believing that he
could do more efficient work for the cause of righteousness as a business man than
as a minister. Returning to Abington, he engaged in mercantile pursuits, his abil-
ity and high moral standing leading men of means to gladly embark in various en-
terprises with him. In 1841 he married Hannah Stone, daughter in one of the most
honorable and influential families in the community, the father, Lemuel Stone, hav-
ing watched his progress from a poor boy to an influential position. For twenty-
five years he carried on various lin-^s of business, and having secured a modest
competence he retired with the purpose of devoting his time and energies to
church work. He had united with the Presbyterian church when living in Dun-
dafif, and, feeling that there was a field for that denomination in Abington, he was
chiefly influential in establishing a church there, to which he devoted much time
and money during the whole of his active life. He was well known in the Presby-
tery and Synod, and was a frequent delegate to general assemblies. He was. how-
ever, generous in the support of churches of other denominations, and was highly
esteemed by all Christians. Always the friend of the down trodden and oppressed,
he early took active interest in politics, and as a Whig, Free Soiler and Republi-
can, took earnest part in various campaigns, though never holding ofifice. His
activity during the Fremont campaign of 1856 and the Lincoln campaign of i860
had much to do with the local success of the Republican party. During the Civil
War he was active in encouraging enlistments, especially among the colored peo-
ple, in which race he had always taken marked interest, and whose champion he
had ever been. As agent of the Underground Railway, he assisted scores of ne-
groes on the way to liberty, harboring them m his own home, when to do so was
at risk of life and property. As a result of the life of hard work and careless ex-
posure, the infirmities of age early deprived him of active participation in the af-
fairs of life, and after years of discomfort he died in 1889, leaving an honored name
from a life spent largely in the interest of his fellowmen, even to the neglect of his
own. Of his children two reached maturity. The younger, Rev. Ward Batchelor

church soon after leaving college, preaching at Bristol, 111., and
Morristown, N. Y,, while studying at McCormick Seminary,
Chicago, and Auburn Seminary, Auburn, N. Y. He was mar-
ried before entering the ministry, and the task of caring for nis
family and his parishes, and the completing of his Seminary
course, so undermined his health that, after a service of two
years at Gurley Chapel, an adjunct of the New York Avenue
church, Washington, D. C, he left the ministry. Having be-
come somewhat expert in the use of the Spanish language, he
conceived the idea of entering business in Mexico, removing to
Mexico City in 1887, where he died in the same year. He lett
but one child, Joseph Leon Batchelor, who was an invalid all
his life, but whose precocity of intellect and beauty of character
had made a deep impression on all who knew him; he died in
1893, at the age of 19.

in Sutton. He received his education in the common schools of the town, has
been a farmer, manufacturer of boots and shoes, has held the town ofifices of over-
seer of the poor, selectman, and is now town clerk. He has likewise been several
times the agent of the town. His last and most efficient service as such was in the
year 1854, when upon the petition of Joshua Leland and others a most persistent
attempt was made in the legislature for the formation of a new township from the
eastern part of Sutton and the western part of Grafton. Through his skillful man-
agement of the matter the bill failed and no efforts for a disembursement of the
town have since been made. He was representative in the legislature of 1856-7.
B. L. Batcheller owned the house for several years, and later it was occupied by
his son, Frank Batcheller, a young man of great industry and enterprise, and the
property was much improved by the Batchellers. Res. Sutton. Mass.

b. Jan. 20, 1793; d. Dec. 5, 1838. He was born in Reading, Mass. but when quite
young removed with his parents to Mason, N. H., where he always after resided
and died. He was a strong, healthy man and was able to do a great amount of
work. At the age of 28 he took a wife from the town of Wilton, N. H., Miss Mary
Hartshorn, with whom he lived twenty-one years, and she died and left him with
seven children (two others had died in infancy) — four boys and three girls. He
thought to marry again in after years, but found none to suit. He kept his fam-
ily together till they scattered by marriage, and found other homes. He loved the
old bible and read it, too. Every morning the children would gather round him
with bible in hand, and each read two verses till they had read a chapter, and then
he would reverently stand m a corner of the room with a chair on which to rest
his hands, and ask God's blessing on the family. Sundaj' was his holy day and
he observed it very closely. In the early part of his married life he bought a farm
on the road leading from the center of Mason to a water privilege, called the vil-
lage— a lonely spot to live, overlooking the church and school house and many
other buildings three-quarters of a mile distant. The house of the old home he
built so many years ago with his own hands, stands there still. He d. Oct. 14,

owell and Lydia (Johnson). By the death of his mother when but two years of
age he was left without maternal care, but had the best' of homes with his aunt,
Mrs. John Peirce. He received an excellent common school education and at the
age of 14 had his name changed by act of the legislature to John Bachelder Peirce.
At this time he went to work and at the age of 19 was admitted a partner by his
employer. Mr. Sanger of Danvers. grocer. He always followed the grocery bus-
iness. In those days rum was sold by grocers. John was convinced by a temper-
ance lecturer that rum selling was wrong, so decided to leave Mr. Sanger. The
latter asked for reasons, which were plainly stated, and after a short time Mr.
Sanger decided to give up the rum trade, and John suggested flour to take its
place. The business grew and both were well pleased with the change. At the
time of the East India commercial enterprises Salem was a thriving commercial
port. John was doing a large and successful grocery business there then, but was
ambitious to get rich fast, so tried "commercial ventures." These proved unfor-
tunate; he lost his money and was financially ruined. About the same time his first
wife died, leaving live small children. In 1849 John went to California via Isthmus
Panama, as commission agent for flour, groceries, etc. In two years he returned,
having partly made up some of his money losses, and much improved in health.
Started in Boston (1852-3) in wholesale groceries, having as partners David Grey
and Joshua C. Dana. The business grew until John retired (1879), having paid alll
his former creditors. John was always identified with the anti-slavery movement,
and by influence and money helped the cause; and naturally was a Republican in
politics; was a "Free Thinker" in religion; one of the founders of the "Free
Church" in Lynn, Rev. Samuel Johnson as preacher. This movement had effect
on the present thought on religion. Theodore Parker was not quite as forward
as Samuel Johnson in liberal ideas. In the last years of his life John was a mem-
ber of Minot J. Savage Society, Church of the Unity, Boston. Always a man of
great personality and strong convictions, and up to date. He d. Sept. 2, 1889. Res.

1840, Ann Eliza Reed, b. Dec. 25, 1822; d. April 18, 1854. George Fordic Crown-
ingshield Batchelder was born in Danvers, Mass., and lived in that town till man-
hood. He served an apprenticeship to the machinist and blacksmith trade and
when cjuite a young man he went to Louisiana and took a position as engineer on
the Pontchartrain R. R. and remained in that vicinity for several years; during
that time he was employed by Leads & Co. (machinists) of New Orleans, and he
held other positions near that city. At one time he was employed as engineer 01
a saw mill near there. He married Ann Eliza Read at Port Hudson, La. Shortly
after his marriage he moved to Cedar Grove (sometimes called Hunts Mills),
Fla., about two miles from Milton, Fla. There he took charge of the machinery of
a large saw mill plant owned by John Hunt. He was employed by Mr. Hunt for
a number of years and then with a man named Criglar bought the prop-
erty from Hunt and conducted the business for themselves under the name of Crig-
lar & Batchelder. They prospered and became quite wealthy. The property con-
sisted of saw mills, timber lands, about 200 slaves, sailing vessels, steamboats, etc.
When war was declared in 1861 the property was worth about $700,000, but a few
months later soldiers were sent up from Pensacola, Fla., where they were stationed
at that time, with orders to burn all the mill property in that section; which they
did. The slaves scattered and went wherever they could find employment, and by
order of Gen. Neil Dow of Maine, who was in charge of the troops in Pensacola.
Fla., at that time, the furniture was taken out of his home and sent to Pensacola.
It was said that Neil Dow sent the parlor furniture to his own home in Maine. He
never heard from it again. At that time he was taken prisoner by Neil Dow, for
aiding the Confederate cause, and kept in prison in Fort Pickens (near Pensacola),
for several months. When he was released he went to Montgomery, Ala., and
took charge of the Niter Yards there and made niter to put in gunpowder, for the
Confederate Government. He lived in Montgomery, Ala., till the close of the war;
then he moved back to his old place at Cedar Grove, Fla., and built a small saw
mill, but never recovered his losses. He d. March 11, 1883. Res. Milton, Fla.

years his mother died, and his father sent him to live with his
sister, Mrs. M. J. Conner, in Danvers, Mass., where he remained
for six years. A short time before civil war was declared be-
tween the states his father sent for him to return to his home in
Florida, where he lived about one year. They then moved to
Montgomery, Ala., where they lived during the war. At the
close of the war they returned to Cedar Grove, Fla. In 1867 he
commenced to serve an apprenticeship to the machinist trade,
with Enoch Chadwick of Milton, Fla. His father's property
had all been swept away by the war, so he had to go to work.
He stayed with Chadwick four years. In 1871 he went to Bos-
ton, Mass. He worked for John P. Square, as engineer, in his
works in East Cambridge. Mass In 1874 he joined the Putnam

John, John), b. Ashtabula, Ohio, Sept. 23, 1820; m. Fredonia, Ohio, March 4,
1843, Louisa Jane Richardson, b. Aug. 25, 1824. He is a farmer and resides on a
farm one mile south of Bluffton. His father was a native of Massachusetts, born
March 15, 1793, a son of Lemuel Bachelor, who was of English ancestry, and died
March 12, 1869, in Wells Co., Ind. The mother was born Nov. 21, 1795, in Rutland
Co., Vermont, and died March 24, 1883. She was a daughter of Jeremiah Jefferson,
who was a second cousin of President Thomas Jefferson and of English descent.
The parents were married in New York and moved to Ashtabula Co., Ohio, Nov.
7, 1819, where the father followed milling and farming for many years. Mr. Bach-
elor, the subject of this sketch, passed his early youth in assisting his father on
the farm, and in attending the subscription schools. He remained with his parents
until his marriage, which occurred March 4, 1843, with Miss Louisa J. Richardson,
of Cayuga Co., N. Y., a daughter of Richard Richardson, who came to Ohio when
Mrs. Bachelor was a child. Our subject follov/ed farming in Ashtabula, his na-
tive county, until 1854, when he moved to Wells county, having purchased a farm
in Jackson the year before he settled on it, and cleared and improved the farm un-

BATCHELLER GENEALOGY. 539

til it was one of the best in the township. He remained on that farm until he was
elected County Treasurer in 1874, when he left the farm and moved to Bluffton to
assume the duties of his office. At the expiration of his term he was re-elected and
discharged the duties to the entire satisfaction of his constituents, no man ever
having been more faithful to his trust. After the expiration of the four years in
office he retired to his farm, south of Blufifton. where he and his estimable wife are
enjoying the accumulations of many years of hard labor. They are both mem-
bers of the Baptist church and politically he affiliates with the Democratic party,
being true to his Jefifersonian ancestry. In 1865 the parents of Mr. Bachelor came
to Wells county to live with him, where the father passed the remainder of his
days: the mother afterward returned to Ohio and died at the home of her daughter
Rhoda. In addition to serving as treasurer of his county two terms, he was jus-
tice of the peace for sixteen years, and was trustee of Harrison Township three
years. Mr. Bachelor's enterprise and forethought has always been a marked char-
acteristic of his life. A notable incident was his vote in 1872 to aid the Toledo,
Thornton and St. Louis R. R. when the question was submitted to a vote of the
county, he being the only man in his township who had the courage to stand alone
and vote his convictions, believing then, as now, that the general good of the peo-
ple should be the object of all public questions, and now those who were op-
posed to the measure admit the wisdom of his course, as the result of the agitation
of that enterprise finally resulted in the construction of the Toledo, St. Louis &
Kansas City railroad. Res. Bluffton, Ind.

Machine Co. to open and run a retail office at Bay City, Mich. About two years
he worked their office business, when he was promoted to a general state agency
and traveled over seven states, which were Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Illinois,
Wisconsin, Iowa and Minnesota. He remained on the road until 1895, in all
about twelve years with this company. After he was employed with this company

Florida, where he had gone for the benefit of his health, Feb. 9, 1858, age 32. He
was son of Samuel and May (Montgomery) and was born in Chelmsford, Mass.,
April 2, 1825. He was fitted for college at Thornton Academy, Saco, Me., where
his father's family resided for several years. On leaving college he entered the
law school at Harvard, where he pursued his legal studies and received his degree
of Bachelor of Laws in 1848. He opened an office in Boston, and there practiced
his profession the remainder of his life, having his residence in Cambridge. Of a
modest and retiring disposition, he had no ambition to gain distinction by forensic
eloquence, but devoted his attention to the business of conveyancing, a branch in
which he attained an honorable reputation. Without pretension, without affecta-
tion or disguise, his manners and constantly increasing circle of friends were wit-
nesses of his simple and well-spent Christian life. His tastes were refined and
cultivated, aand an ardent love of music alwavs afiforded an agreeable relaxation
to the routine of dailv toil. He married and had a son and daughter. He d. Feb.

than, Jonathan, John. John), b. Oct. 12, 181 1, New Ipswich, N. H.; m. 1843, Mary
E. Wood; m. 2nd, Mrs. E. C. Beardsley. John Montgomery Batchelder was born
in New Ipswich, New Hampshire, and died in Cambridge. He was a university
student at Brunswick in 1831. and also studied civil engineering with Professor
Hayward at Harvard University. For manv years he pursued the profession of
civil engineer at York Mills, Maine; he also practiced his profession at Lawrence,
Mass., and he had charge of a mill at Ipswich, Mass. His interest in scientific
work was recognized by Professor Bache during the period in which he was Su-
perintendent of the United States Coast Survev, and Mr. Batchelder was employed
on elaborate observations to test base-line apparatus. During his connection with

BATCHELLER GENEALOGY. 541

the Coast Survey, Mr. Batchelder made many experimental inquiries, among
which were the following: On the compressibility of rubber. Expansion and
contraction of highly calendered paper. On the compressibility of sea water and
some other liquids by pressure, and on the effects of temperature in compression
in relation to Saxton's sounding instruments. On the use of vulcanized india-
rubber in a compression sounding apparatus. On Leonard's dynamometric log
for determining the speed of vessels and of currents of water. On the manufacture
of braided sounding-line of hemp, saturated with india-rubber. On Saxton's
pressure apparatus, and the effect of temperature and rate of cooling when encased
in wood. On the effect of inclination on the compensating base apparatus. In
the Coast Survey Report of 1858 it is stated that he prepared ice charts, showing
the boundaries of ice during certain years in the harbors of Gloucester, Salem,
Marblehead, and New Haven. Professor Bache, in his correspondence with Mr.
Batchelder, often expresses very high appreciation of his work and of his abilities.
In 1858 Mr. Batchelder was detailed from the Coast Survey to assist Dr. B. A.
Gould in the Dudley Observatory at Albany. His work there, we learn from a
letter of Dr. Gould, was "to bring the calculating machine into shape, and also to
aid in arranging the telegraphic connections and apparatus." The calculating
machine was Scheutz's tabulating engine, and Mr. Batchelder mastered its intri-
cacies and put it in successful operation. Mr. Batchelder's mind was essentially
scientific; and no one can examine the note-books of observations which he has
left without being impressed by his keen interest in the phenomena of nature.
Nothing seemed to escape his attention, from the fluctuations of temperature m a
well to the quivering of the aurora borealis. In a long series of observations on
the temperature of the Saco River, made in 1838, he notes: "I have observed that
in extreme cold weather the vapor from the falls has a very sensible effect upon
the temperature of the atmosphere — the mercury commonly standing four or five
degrees higher within a few rods of the river than it does at the distance of one-
fourth of a mile." While at Saco he watched lamprey eels building a dam in the
stream, and in an article, carefully descriptive, says: "I noticed in many instances
that the heavier stones were lifted by two eels, working along side of each other,
and carried to their proper places in the structure. Half-bricks weighing two
pounds were thus transferred, and many of the stones were of much greater
weight." A friend of Mr. Batchelder, a distinguished engineer, to whom these
observations on eels were communicated, said in i^eply: "I have been recently
studying cosmic and synthetic philosophy, and looking back, not to final causes
exactly where we run plump against the wall, but at any rate some way back, for
previous causes and modes of action. Now. I want to know who began, who laid
out the work, and acted as boss in the case you describe. From an ex-dam builder."
We repeat this bit of humor to show a peculiar and taking quality of Mr. Batchel-
der's mind. No matter how dry or technical the business was in which he engaged,
he never failed to evoke a sense of humor in those about him. His kindly manner
and gentle raillery gave every one an opportunity to eft'ervesce; and no one en-
joyed a good laugh more than he who had made the occasion for it. The play of
humor in the letters of Professor Benjamin Peirre to Mr. Batchelder, and in the
replies of the latter, show his genial receptivity in a marked degree. Professor
Peirce's correspondence with Mr. Batchelder extended over many years; and we
find the mathematician presenting his theories of tidal action and of cosmical
phenomena to the inventor, and the inventor in turn writing of the mechanical
appliances which interested his mind so greatly. Thus Professor Peirce, in a
letter written in 1855, says: "I highly approve of your dynamometer log, and
think it will be of undoubted value. Let me suggest to you to lay it before Bache
as soon as possible, for he will find it of the greatest use in the determination of
the velocity of currents, and has been seeking this very thing in a totally different
way." In a letter to Professor Joseph Henry, Mr. Batchelder says: "I do not
remember any published records of the increase of the temperature of the earth
caused by falls of snow and the consequent decrease of radiation. Can yon inform
me whether such observations have been made? Enclosed is a sheet showing
results of observations in my well (at Cambridge, near Agassiz Museum) during
the years 1868, 1869, 1870, and part of 1871 ; also a rough sketch of the position of

the well. Please notice the sudden fall of one degree during the first week in
September, 1868, and the sudden rise in the same week in 1870. The observations
would have been continued had not the well become dry in consequence of the
construction of a deep sewer in the street. If you think that notes of this kind
will be of value, I should like suggestions from you in relation to the proper mode
of making them. I suppose the depth should not be great — say five to ten feet. I
propose to drive in the same cellar an iron tube, and allow the thermometer to
remain within a few inches of the bottom. The temperature of the surface of the
ground should alslo be recorded. . . . The cost of the apparatus would be about
twenty-five dollars, and I should make no charge as observer." Mr. Batchelder
was a contemporary of Agassiz, Wyman, Bond, Gibbs, and Gould, and walked
with the men who have contributed so much to make Cambridge a university
centre, and aided them often by his practical science. No man ever had greater
appreciation of intellectual qualities than he had, and he was always on the lookout
for some mechanical paradox to present to his friend. Professor Peirce, or some
peculiar fact in natural history to be elucidated by Agassiz or Wyman. Joined to
this reverence for pure science was a marked talent for invention. Before 1853
he invented independently the Bunsen burner, which is so indispensable in all lab-
oratories, and which is used so extensively in the arts. His apparatus for deep-sea
soundings is still used in the United States Navy, and is highly approved by the
British Admiralty. A short while before his death, Mr. Batchelder received from
of providing telegraphs with a strong wire of good conductibility, but also with
an officer in the English Navy a highly complimentary notice of the performance
of his apparatus. His tide-meter for soundings at a distance from the shore has
been used by the United States Coast Survey in various places. During the block-
ade in 1862-63 it was used in eight fathoms of water off Hilton Head, and was
instrumental in securing the safety of government vessels. We find among his
papers many memoranda in regard to submarine signals, and when he was over
seventy years of age he actively carried out experiments on transmitting signals
under water by employing water as the medium of propagation of sound instead
of the air. By means of the sound of escaping steam he succeeded in transmitting
sound over a mile under water. His ultimate object was to give mariners some
method of ascertaining the proximity of ships in a fog. The subject of electricity
was always a fascinating one to him. In connection with Moses G. Farmer he
invented the compound telegraph wire, which consists of a steel core and a sheath
of copper. The steel wire was for strength, and the copper covering for electrical
conductivity. The inventors made many experiments to coat the steel wire success-
fully with copper, and finally succeeded. Early realizing the importance, not only
an insulator, Mr. Batchelder invented a vulcanite insulator for stringing telegraph
wires on poles or other supports. This insulator was used on the telegraph be-
tween Boston and Portland in 1853, and between San Francisco and Sacramento
in 1854. His electro-magnet watch-clock is now in use in various places — notably
in safety deposit vaults. The Samuel Batchelder dynamometer for the measure-
ment of power was one of the earliest forms of practical dynamometers, and was
of very ingenious construction. It was well adapted for the measurement of the
power consumed in various forms of mill machinery. Among Mr. Batchelder's
inventions are the following: Vulcanite plate electric machine, pressure sounding
machine, tide gauge hydrometer, cards for the blind, card catalogues for libraries,
porcelain and iron insulator, instrument for drawing curves, railway station and
starting signal, iridium surface copper plates. The first plate of large size, 21x16
inches, was exposed twenty-seven years without wax or other preparation, and
was found still brilliant and uninjured. Hygrometer for regulating moisture in
closed apartments and in greenhouses. Oat basket for horses, to keep the feed at
a uniform level, to prevent waste, and to allow the horse to breathe freely. One
cannot read the above list without being impressed by the remarkable activity of
Mr. Batchelder's mind. His note-books teem with suggestions, and even in his
eightieth year he made memoranda and suggestions for future work. The writer
of this notice remembers to have received at the same time two letters: one from
Mr. Batchelder, then in his eightieth year, in which he asks if it is possible to
make a magnet six feet long; and another from Moses G. Farmer, who had been

many years stricken with paralysis, and had to be wheeled about in a chair, in
which keen interest was expressed in regard to the oscillatory nature of electrical
discharges. Thus two life-long friends rose superior to the ills of old age, and
manifested a calm cheerfulness and scientific philosophy of life. No one could
meet Mr. Batchelder in the closing years of his busv life without gaining a convic-
tion that there was something undying in the spirit that could so cheerfully meet
the growing infirmities of age. Mr. Batchelder was elected a Fellow of the Acad-
emy in 1866. He was also a member of the Boston Society of Natural History,
of the Boston Society of Arts, of the American Association for the Advancement
of Science, of the American Institute of New York, and of the Natural History

Batcheller, his father, was a captain in the war of 1812. receiving his commission
from Gov. Brooks in whose memory the name of "Brooks" was given the subject
of this sketch. His early education was received in the public schools. His first
connection in business was as proprietor of a stage line from Boston to Lowell;
later he became interested in the stabling and liverv business in Boston, under the
firm name of Wildes & Batcheller. Mr. Batcheller was married in Boston to Ra-
chael, daughter of John and Rochael (House) Dodge (Edgecomb, Maine). Of
this union were four children. Mr. Batcheller is trustee of the Lexington Minis-
terial Fund and vice president and director of the Lexington Savings Bank. In

Oct. 8, i860, Catherine Phillips Cook, dau. of Genl. Jos. N. Cook, b. Jan. i, 1839.
George Sherman Batcheller was born at Batchellerville, Saratoga county. Mr.
Batcheller received the degree of LL. B from Harvard University in 1857, and
was admitted to the bar in 1858. During the war he raised Company C, 115th Reg-
iment N. Y. Vols., and in 1862 he entered the army as Lieutenant Colonel of that
regiment. He was captured at the Miles surrender at Harper's Ferry in Septeniber
of the same year, but was paroled and exchanged in 1863. He then served in the
Tenth Army Corps and the Department of the South, acting as Deputy Provost
Marshal General of the southern department in 1863, serving under Generals Hun-
ter, Gilmore and Terrv. He is a member of Post Wheeler, G. A. R., No. 92, of
Saratoga Springs, and also a companion in the Loval Legion After the war he
was Inspector General of the State from 1865 to 1869. He reorganized the State
Militia and prepared the first Military Code. He represented the Governor of the
State in the funeral escort to the body of President Lincoln through New York,
and was designated to. escort Gen. Grant and Gen. Sheridan on their first visit to
this state after the war. In 1875 he was appointed bv President Grant the repre-
sentative of the United States on the International Tribunal of Egypt ,and in 1883

/

BATCHELLER GENEALOGY. 549

he was elected president of the Tribunal by the powers represented. He served in
the Assembly in 1859, having been elected in his 21st year; in 1873, 1874, 1886 and
1889, serving as chairman of the committee on wavs and means, canals and other
important committees. He was urged by the leading Republicans of the interior of
the state for a diplomatic appointment. His long residence abroad as a member of
the International Tribunal, having specially qualified him for such a post, but at
Washington his friends deemed it wise that he should remain in the country, and
he was presented to the President by both senators, vice-president and a united
Republican delegation in congress for the important position of First Assistant
Secretary of the Treasury, to which position he was nominated and confirmed by
the senate. The complimentary manner in which his appointment was treated by
the press of both parties was peculiarly gratifying to his Saratoga friends and all
rejoiced in the distinguished honor conferred uoon one of their fellow citizens by
the President. Gen. Batcheller was zealouslv urged bv such men as Warner Mil-
ler, George B. Sloan, Judge W. H. Roberston and Stewart L. Woodford, as a can-
didate for lieutenant governor at the Republican state convention at Utica in 1874,
and would probably have been nominated had he not withdrawn from the canvas
in the interest of party harmony. He was a candidate for presidential elector in
the first Grant campaign. Gen. Batcheller was permanent chairman of the last Re-
publican state convention, held at Saratoga, and he was upon the stump for the
party almost constantly from that time down to the end of the campaign, having
spoken in nearly all the counties from the Canadian border to New York. He is
a very effective speaker, and invariably catches the attention of his audience at the
start, holding it undiminished to the end. His style is a happy combination of
humor, argument and forceful presentation of facts, and he not only arouses his
hearers to the highest pitch of enthusiasm, but thoroughly impresses them with
sober truths. Gen. Batcheller has had great exoerience as a presiding officer, and
is thoroughly versed in parliamentary law. He is not only endowed with jiigh
qualities of perception and prompt decision, but is always courteous and concilia-
tory while not sacrificing firmness or dignitv. In Nov. 1890 he was appointed
United States Minister to Portugal and a banquet was given him by the Union
League Club of New York the evening before his departure, and a "grand excur-
sion" of some 500 leading members of the Republican party of the state of New
York on a steamer "down the bay to Quarantine." with "music and banners" to put
him on board the Atlantic steamer for Europe. He was for two years United States
Minister to Portugal, when he resigned to accept a professional post at Paris,
which post he resigned a year ago. He went West during the late campaign, on a
speaking tour, and took an active part in the triumphal election of Wm. McKinley
as President of the United States. Gen. Batcheller was a delegate to the Postal
Congress, which assembled in Washington recently, and was the president of that
body. The proceedings were all in French, and he informed himself somewhat as
to the duties of the United States delegates, of which he was chairman. He ad-
dressed this congress, in French, and conducted all the proceedings in that language.
Gen. Batcheller has had conferred on him the decoration of the Great Cordon of
the order of the crown of Italy, by King Humbert. General Batcheller has re-
ceived the decoration and was greatly surprised to receive such an honor. He was
the president of the Universal Postal Congress, which met in Washington in May,
and the decoration 's conferred as an acknowledgment of his efficient services as
presiding officer. Gen. Batcheller is one of a very few Americans to be given this
decoration, and he is deserving of the great honor conferred upon him. In Nov.
1897, President McKinley appointed Gen. Batcheller representative of the United
States on the International Tribunal of Egypt. This is considered one of the most
important offices within the gift of the President The tenure is for life, and the
salary is $7,500 per year. The duties are pleasant, and the society of Cairo is
agreeable. Gen. Batcheller will be one of the three A.merican representatives at-
tached to three international tribunals of Egypt, which were established as a result
of negotiations between the Ottoman and Egyptian governments, and the various
Christian powers having representatives at Cairo, for the trial of mixed civil causes
arising between persons of different foreign nationalities and suits of foreigners
against natives, the Egyptian government, and members of the khedival familv.

550 BATCHELLER GENEALOGY.

These mixed tribunals superseded the old consular courts. Each tribunal consists
of five judges, three of whom are foreign and two natives. The foreign judges are
appointed by the khedive on the recommendation of the great powers. There are
several tribunals of original jurisidiction, and a court of appeal at Alexandria.
Gen. Baitcheller succeeds Mr. Fearn as a member of the court of original jurisdic-
tion, or first instance, at Cairo. Res. Saratoga Springs, N. Y., and winters at 1022

Batcheller for Egypt, an Albany, N. Y., paper has this to say of
the daughter: "Mrs. Batcheller and her attractive daughter
share in the congratulations that are being extended in large
numbers to the future Minister Many regrets are expressed at
the early departure of Miss Batcheller, who for the past two
seasons has been one of the most popular girls in society. She
is extremely clever, a brilliant conversationalist, devoted to out-
door sports, and has been noted as one of the best woman play-
ers on the Washington golf links. Having spent more than half
her life abroad, she speaks French and Spanish fluently, and will
be perfectly equipped for the brilliant life awaiting her at the
, Egyptian capital, where a part of her childhood was spent."

more than twenty years. A fine address added to keen intellect and unusual judg-

his home, as he married here in 1871 a daughter of Dr. Henry Lyon of Charles-
town. In his death the navy loses an able and efficient officer, whose service has
been constant and valuable for more than thirty years. He entered the naval acad-
emy as a midshipman in 1859 from New York, his native state, and had but half
completed the course when the breaking out of the war sent him into active service
at the early age of 18. His war experiences were stirring and his record an en-
viable one, including instances of marked individual action and gallantry. He won'

the volunteer returning to the Vincennes (from the Richmond) to withdraw the

the orders of Capt. Melanchthon Smith, he set fire to the ship, when it became nec-
essary to abandon her. He was one of the young officers who helped Farragut tO'

win the battle of Mobile bay, serving with credit on the Monongahela, under Com-
mander Strong. Wherever he was placed, he rendered a good account of himself
and showed himself a worthy member of that band of young men who, in the Civil
War, so fully supported the older ofificers of the navy, and many of whom are now
in their turn ably filling its higher positions. At the end of the war he refused to
present claims for promotion (which would undoubtedly have been granted) as he
firmly maintained that promotion on the field of battle was "all right and glorious,"
but the raking up of one's past and "being jumped over one's classmates in cold
blood," he did not approve. After the war and until his promotion to commander,
he served in the European and Asiatic squadrons and at the naval academy. He
was promoted to commander in 1877, and was on duty at the Boston yard for three
years, as inspector of ordnance. From 1880 to 1882 he was inspecior of guns at the
South Boston iron works. From 1882 to 1885 he commanded the Galena in Eu-
rope, South American and on the North Atlantic Station. While in command of
the Galena he was present at the riots in Alexandria and at the subsequent English
attack upon that city, offering an asylum on board his ship to large numbers of ref-
ugees. From 1885 to 1888 he was inspector of the ist lighthouse district, with
headquarters at Portland. Me. From 1888 to i8qo he was inspector of ordnance at
the Norfolk Navy Yard, and from there was ordered to the command of the Con-
cord, one of the new cruisers. While on his wav to the rendezvous at Rio Janeiro
at the time of the Chilian troubles he was taken seriously ill with what proved to be
consumption, and which resulted in his death. In this long and varied service,
Commander Batcheller displayed qualities which marked him as an excellent offi-
cer, and one on whom the department could rely for any service. He was devoted
to his profession, a thorough seaman and a representative of that class of officers
which has made our navy conspicuous for its discipline and efficiency. He d.

Batchellerville, Saratoga Co., N. Y. He received his education at the district
school of that place. During the winter of 1879 'le purchased one-half interest in
a general merchandise store at Wells, Hamilton Co., N. Y., which at that time was
in the midst of the lumbering district on the head waters of the Socaudaga river.
At the end of the third year he sold his interest in the store and purchased two
large tracts of timber on the extreme head waters of the Socaudaga and Indian
rivers. The purchase was made at his own figures, because the land was considered
inaccessible by other lumbermen. After making the necessary improvements, his
first year's lumbering proved that his purchase was a valuable one. In 1885 he mar-
ried Belle Wentworth and soon after purchased a large improved farm, with stock
and machinery complete, with the expectation of turning farmer as soon as his
lumbering was finished; but the sickness of his father kept him at his old home un-
til 1890. He was in Fort Payne. Ala., during the boom, and shared largely in the
profits of the inflated prices of the first two winters, nor did he wholly escape the
result of the reaction of 1890-91. In 1891 he took possession of his farm, and ex-
pects to remain there indefinitelv. Res. Grogan, Minn.

1878, Ellen Elizabeth Capsey, b. June 12, 1852. The subject of this sketch was born
in the township of Stanbridge, County of Missisquoi, Lower Canada (now Prov-
ince of Quebec), Aug. 20, 1849, being the oldest son of a family of three sons aad
one daughter of Addison Bacheller, all born in a small plank house upon 100
acres of land, nearly all covered with timber, which the father, with a very small
capital, had a short time previously purchased. This being pioneer days, school
facilities were very meager, and the demands at home did not allow him to attend
the district school in summer after the age of 10. and sometimes only for a couple
of months in the winter, until the age of 16, after which he attended the academy
at Bedford, the chief village of the township, during the wnnter months until the
age of 19. At the age of 15 his father sold the home place and bought his mother's
twin brother's (Marchal Smith) place, being part of the old homestead of his
grandfather (David Smith), which is located on Pike river two miles from the

558 BATCHELLER GENEALOGY.

village of Bedford (now town of Bedford, including this old homestead). He
remained on the farm ufitil 21 years of age, receiving a thorough education in
farming under the instruction of his father, who was said to be one of the most
successful and practical farmers in the county of Missisquoi. At the age of 21
he was one of the first students to apply for admission into the Science Depart-
ment established in connection with the McGill University, Montreal, Sept. 1871.
Here he took a four-years course and graduated in May, 1875, with degree of
Bachelor of Applied Science and honors in civil and mechanical engineering.
Immediately after graduating, and for more than one year, he was employed by
the city of Montreal on the survey of the great ward map of the city, costing
several thousand dollars. During the same time apprenticed himself as a Pro-
vincial Land Surveyor's clerk and passed the preliminary and, in Jan. 1877, the
final examination before the Provincial Board of Examiners, as a Provincial Land
Surveyor for the Province of Quebec, which is a life ofifice. In March, 1877, he
located in Bedford and opened up an office for surveying, map work, etc. As a
Provincial Land Surveyor he was employed several years on the Cadastral Sur-
veys for the Province of Quebec, by contract, which surveys cost several hundred
thousand dollars. According to the decision of the director of these surveys he
was given the honor of doing the most perfect work of any of the many score of
surveyors employed upon this work. In 1879 he was engaged and had the super-
vision of the location and construction of the last six miles of the Lake Cham-
plain & St. Lawrence Junction Railway in the Township of Stanbridge. also the
drawing of the plans and superintending the construction of the large bridge of
said railway in the village of Bedford, passing over Pike River. He was the first
to successfully introduce into the Township of Stanbridge and County of Missis-
quoi the building of the long-span Howe truss bridge, and was employed to draw
up plans and specifications and superintend the erection of the most expensive
bridge ever built in these corporations. In December, 1878, he married Ellen
Elizabeth Capsey, dau. of Thomas Capsey, clerk of the court and rec. treas. of
the County of Missisquoi. To them have been born four sons and two daughters,
five of which are living, the eldest daughter dying in infancy from whooping-
cough at the age of 2I months. In 1880 he erected a fine brick residence and
office in the village of Bedford at a cost of over $6,000. Res. Bedford, P. Q.

m. in Weaver, Minn., Aug. 5, 1880, Harriet Anna Copeland, b. Aug. 5, 1855, dau.
of Allen A. To no man in the past or present probably is the State of New
Hampshire more deeply indebted for conspicuously efficient services in the field
of historical and biographical literature than to Hon. Stillman Batchellor of Lit-
tleton. Mr. Batchellor is a native of the town of Bethlehem, N. H. He is a
graduate of Dartmouth College in the class of 1872, receiving the degree of A. M.
in course in 1875. He is a lawyer in active practice in Littleton, Grafton county,
the White Mountain region of the State. He is a member of the firm of Bing-
ham, Mitchell & Batchellor, and twenty years' association with Mr. Bingham,
as pupil and teacher, is a voucher for a good lawyer and an honest one, and Mr.
Batchellor has never discredited his credentials. The business of the firm has
been varied and extensive, and Mr. Batchellor has had a professional experience
that is accorded to few men of his years. A mere technical lawyer he could never
become, but he learned to take those broad and liberal views of legal questions
which leave the narrow precision without a standing, amazed, that despite its
iron-clad rules, a more liberal opponent has carried off the verdict. As a result
of natural aptitude, superior training, a large experience and an abundance of
strong common sense. Mr. Batchellor stands to-day among the leading lawyeris
of northern New Hampshire. It may well be expected that the future holds in
store for him the choicest rewards of the profession. In 1877 he was representa-
tive of Littleton in the New Hampshire Legislature, and was twice re-elected.
Although a member of the minority in his three terms in the Legislature, he was
during the time chairman of the house committee on the State library. For
almost twenty years he has labored zealously and intelligently for the interests of
the library. In 1878, when the institution had but few sets of the law reports,
either of the State or Pederal courts, he reported and secured the passage of a
joint resolution which provided means for completing this department of the
library. Prom this period he was an active promoter of the interests of the insti-
tution. In 1887 he became by popular election an executive councillor, and at
once devoted himself to certain reforms in the condition of the State library. The
appropriation for the purchase and repair of books and incidental expenses had
been only $1,000 a year, and but half of this was a permanent allowance. Mr.
Batchellor procured legislation at the session of 1888 which gave the library a
fixed allowance of $3,000 a year. He was appointed a trustee of the State library
on Sept. 25, 1888, for the remainder of the unexpired term caused by the resigna-
tion of Judge William M. Chase, namely until Oct. 4, 1889, for a full term of three
years. He was reappointed Nov. 29, 1892, for another term of three years. In
1889 he drew and procured the passage of an act for the incorporation of the New
Hampshire Library Association, which was the first of its kind. He has been
corresponding secretary of the association since its organization. He was also a
member of its committee on legislation, which, in 1891, procured the enactment
in New Hampshire of what was substantially the Massachusetts public library act,
under which a State commission was appointed; and as a result, more than a
hundred additional free public libraries have been established in New Hampshire
towns within four years. The act relating to the administration of the State
library, N. H. Laws. 1891, chap. 7, was drawn and its passage successfully urged
by Mr. Batchellor. The result of this law has enlarged the resources and efficiencv
of the State library in a marked degree. The institution is now well to the front
m library progress and approved methods of administration. Mr. Batchellor has
for years been one of the advocates of every reasonable plan for the enlargement
of the accommodations for the State library, and gave sufficient aid to the legisla-
tion of 1891, which provided for the erection of a State library building and
Supreme Court room separate from the State House. This building is now com-

pleted and occupied, and will be one of the conspicuous modern libraries; it will
be amply able to meet all the demands of increase for a long period of the future
Substantially all the administrative measures in the State library legislation of
1895 were formulated by Mr. Batchellor. These important and progressive provis-
ions of law enabled the State to avail itself of the splendid opportunities for
library development offered by the accommodations in the new edifice, a complete
equipment and a reorganized corps of library executives. By means of the legis-
lation thus brought about step by step and by utilizing the ample facilities now
provided, the New Hampshire State library is now in the front rank of institutions
of its kind under State patronage. In 1895 Mr. Batchellor was one of the princi-
pal movers for the establishment of a free public library at Littleton, and he was
a member of the first board of trustees of that institution. He is an active mem-
ber of the American Library Association and of the State library section. He
was appointed editor and compiler of the State papers Oct. 9. 1890, which office
he now holds. Eight of his volumes of this work have already been published,
and he has others in active preparation.

Many papers in more general literature have emanated from him. Some of the
best known of these are: "Report on the Schools of L., 1875:" "Hist, of the Class

passed away yesterday afternoon. Isaac H. Batchellor died at his late residence.
No. 1337 Corona St., Denver Co., from the efifects of paralysis. He was 66 years^
of age and leaves a widow and two children. Isaac Batchellor arrived in Denver
late in 1859. He came direct from Chicago and at once went into the mountains-
mining. In the year following his migration westward he settled in Leadville
and there remained several years. Afterwards he came to Denver and, purchas-
ing a ranch near the city, engaged in stock-raising. There he remained a number
of years, combining other occupations and interests with his cattle industry. At
one time he was a member of the firm of Chatfield & Batchellor of Leadville.
He twice held public office, being a member of the Territorial Legislature in 1872
and County Commissioner of Arapahoe County four years later. His fortune
fluctuated with the times, and once in his life he was reputed to be worth much
money. Mr. Batchellor was always of a roving disposition, and this trend was
not lost even in his later days. Born in Maine, when still a lad he conceived a
desire for a seafaring life and shipped aboard a United States man-of-war. For
three years he cruised ofif the west coast of Africa, seeing much service fighting
slavers and protecting commerce. Finally returning to his native country, young
Batchellor moved westward by States, his last stopping place before coming to
Colorado being the then struggling town of Chicago. Like almost all of those
men who made the early history of this State, Mr. Batchellor had many friends.
His life, although a roving one, was yet domestic, and his two terms of public
service were thrtist upon him rather than sought for. Of late years he has led .^
secluded existence within his own circle of acquaintances, and had the good-wilf
of all who knew him. Res. Denver, Col., 1337 Corona St.

22, 1892. Rev. C. W. Batcheller, now a superannuate of Northwestern Iowa Con-
ference, was born in Cortland Co., N. Y. When about 5 years of age was pow-
erfuly convicted, and when about 7 years old was thoroughly and happily con-
verted, near Cazenovia, N. Y. In a protracted meeting conducted by his father,
when about 100. were converted, a padlock was broken to gain admittance into
school-house. In Delphi the late Jesse T. Peck was his first school teacher. For
about a year he took a company of boys with him to a barn, where he prayed witli
them and talked to them about preparing to die Has always been accustomed
to pray. In 1843, with others, held young people's prayer meetings in Freedom,
La Salle Co., 111.; prayed much with each other and with the people, the five repre-
senting four denominations, and worked a year together with good results. He
entered the Rock River Seminary in 1844; worked his way three years, ringing
bell, kindling fires and sweeping halls, etc., and cutting wood at 8 cents per hour,
cutting all the knots left by other students. Joined Rock River Conference July
5, 1847. His first circuit was in six counties, and his first year's work, with J.
Taylor, brought 130 into church — a year of much fasting and prayer, and thor-
ough-, exhaustive and earnest work. Received $10 in money, also an entire suit
of Kentucky jeans, which he wore to Conference. Of his salary he gave $5 to-
the China mission. One of the severest trials of his life occurred that year; the
parents of an only child gave him his choice to give up the ministry or their
daughter (his first love). With inexpressible sorrow he said good-by — parted

with'tiji,e one fdr whom he would 'have given his Hfe. After having preached eight
years in Rock River Conference he entered and worked his way in the Garrett
BibHcal Institute, Evanston, 111. Drs. Dempster, Kidder and Baumster were his
teachers — three of the grandest men of Methodism. In the fall of 1866. having
finished a successful year at Fort Dodge, la., Bishop Ames asked if he was willing
to go to Yankton, Dak.; he said yes, anywhere the church wished to send him.
So he was sent to Yankton. In addition to church work, he assisted in enlisting
a regiment for defense against hostile Indians; was commissioned by Gov. Falk
for two years as captain of a company of cavalry. The most of his years of effect-
ive labor have been on the frontier, in advance of other Christian workers — organ-
izing the work. Many thrilling incidents might be narrated. Has assisted in
refitting, finishing and erecting several churches and parsonages. Has seen thou-
sands of souls converted to God. Never found a neighborhood where he failed
to have good revival and many convertions. many times continuing series of
meetings six weeks. On Le Mars Circuit, Iowa, in three counties, with only
twelve members to begin with, in three years had five circuits and five preachers
with 235 members on his part of work. Then on a large circuit, 100 miles long,
fifty broad, in six counties, in Dakota, where none of our preachers had ever been
sent — away from his family at one time four and a half months, having thoroughly
provided for it — with thirty-three appointments he gathered about 240 members
and probationers in one year, sleeping on the ground and in a light wagon more
than a hundred times in frontier life, often going without meals. Res. Mt. Ver-

Henshaw's Battery of light artillery and for a long time was at Louisville, Ky.,
and was with this famous organization all through the war. He was promoted
to sergeant and was one of the best gunners in the battery. He was discharged at
Springfield July 18, 1865. He was with his battery in the action at Campbell's
Station in Tennessee, with his command, where the battery suffered severe loss,
and he did gallant service there. After his return from the war he took a course
in a Chicago business college. He then entered the store of H. J. Gillen as book-
keeper, and was also with D. Heenan & Co. for a time, when he was placed in the
management of the Vermillion Co.'s store at Streator, which position he held for
eight years. Upon his return he entered the employ of A. A. Colley as book-

N. Y., July 16, 1884. Saville H. Rickenbrode, b. March 4, 1859. To organize a
large school and to keep it in successful working order in this critical age requires
a man of real genius. He must be more than good in many diversified depart-
ments of intellectual labor. To be possessed of learning counts for a good deal,
but how many have made shipwreck of teaching with that alone! One must have
experience, the art of management, and be a good organizer as well, said the
Elmira, N. Y., Journal in July, 1895. The position is a trying one. Many are
successful for a short time and then find it necessary to go elsewhere. To succeed
in the long run, as before stated, requires a man of genius, and such a one is Prin-
cipal Batcheller. In 1862 he was born at Stockton, Chautauqua County, N. Y.
His sire was J. E. Batcheller, a thrifty farmer and a man of intelligence and per-
sonal influence. The son spent the first fifteen years of his life tilling the soil.
Here he developed a magnificent physique, and to-day, standing si.x feet or there-
abouts in height, and pulling down the scales set at the 220 notch, he presents a
splendid contrast to the usually frail man, worn out by nervous strain, who does
the duties of the old-time pedagogue. He looks what he is, a strong man physi-
cally and intellectually. He went to the village school and later to the State Nor-
mal School at Fredonia, N. Y., where he took the Classical Course. Since he has
taken a post-graduate course in the Illinois Wesleyan University, and this institu-
tion has recently conferred upon him the degree of Ph. B. In the winter of 18S1 he
commenced teaching at Gerry in Chautauqua County. N. Y. Later he taught at
Perrysburg, Stockton and Ripley. From 1884 to 1886 he was principal of the
Union school and Academy at Mayville. At the organization of School No.
Thirty-nine, at Buffalo, Principal Batcheller was appointed by Superintendent
Crooker as principal. He labored here successfully for three years. In 1889 he
w^as transferred to No. Forty-five. This is one of the very best schools in the
city and has over 1,300 pupils. Twenty-seven teachers do duty here, many of
them being Normal graduates. Principal Batcheller is working along the line ot

the most approved methods of the day. All studies have been carefully sysLemized
and the most perfect order prevails. Under the present management the school
has increased two-fold in attendance and the number of teachers employed. Prin-
cipal Batcheller is a member of the Principals' Association of Buffalo, and ha:i
been on the executive committee ever since its organization. This year he was
offered the presidency, but refused, as his duties in other directions absorbed so
much of his time. He is also a member of the N. Y. Teachers' Association. Last
year at Syracuse he was elected president of the State Council of Grammar School
Principals. In a fraternal way he belongs to Queen City Lodge 338, F. and A. M.,
and to Keystone Chapter, 163, R. A. M. For many years he has been treasurer of
the board of trustees of the Richmond Avenue M. E. Church, of which he is also a
member. His wife, formerly Miss Saville H. Rickenbrode, was also a teacher.

S. Ada Cummings. Up to the age of seventeen years Mr. Batcheller attended the
Grafton High School. Later he graduated from Barre Academy, Vermont, in
1855. Accepting a position with the old and well-known Boston dry-goods firm
of Turner, Wilson & Co., he remained with them until 1857, when he went to
New York; and a little after, under the firm name of Nichols & Batcheller. en-
gaged in the manufacture and sale of crinolines, hoop-skirts and corsets. From
this partnership Mr. Batcheller withdrew in 1865, and from this period dates not
only the beginning of the house of Langdon, Batcheller & Co., but also the real
beginning of the great world-wide corset industry. The magnitude of the busi-
ness may be inferred from the fact that the value of domestic manufactures in
this line, for the United States, now aggregates more than $12,000,000 annually.
It was in this year, 1865, that the original firm of Thomson, Langdon & Co., of
w'hich Mr. Batcheller now became an active and leading member, established a
factory for the corset branch of the business in London, England. Already branch
houses had been established in various parts of Europe, a bold step for an Amer-
ican firm at that day. Presently, however, the American market was found so
large that the foreign branches were discontinued. In 1876 the extensive factory
and plant at Bridgeport, Conn., was established for the manufacture of the now
celebrated Patent Glove-Fitting Corsets. Two years later Mr. Thomson, the
London partner, retired. Mr. Langdon took the management of the financial
affairs of the firm; whileMr. Batcheller, as the executive man of the business, has
mainly made it what it is. His ability, enterprise, and personal energy in unre-
mitting attention to every detail are quite remarkable. No business man in New
York in any line of business has acquired a more solid and enviable reputation.
In 1892 Mr. Langdon retired, and Mr. Batcheller became sole proprietor of the
business. Later he associated in business with him his brother, William H.
Batcheller, and George C. Miller. Under the management of Mr. Batcheller, the
eminent success of the house, with the rapid enlargement of its facilities and
increasing importance of its trade, is not a surprise. The factory and plant at
Bridgeport have received frequent additions and extensions, so that in 1892 the
productive capacity increased fully one-third; and it is now one of the largest
plants as well as the most complete and admirably equipped corset factory in
existence. The working force numbers fully 1,000 hands and the productive
capacity is enormous. This flattering success is only the legitimate reward of
sound judgment combined with rare executive ability and unflagging zeal in the
upbuilding of a great industry. Still, Mr. Batcheller's absorption in business is
not such as to exclude him from social life and the duties of citizenship. He is
an active member of the Colonial Club, the Republican and West-Side Repub-
lican clubs, also of the West- End Property Owners' Association, one of the board
of trustees and the treasurer of St. Andrews' Methodist Episcopal Church West

tions are the rare and valuable portraits of Gen. George Washington and Martha,

a close observer and good judge of human nature, and to this fact must be attrib-
uted his happy faculty of surrounding himself with a corps of workers unexcelled
by any business house. He has a literary turn of mind, and though fond of
society, yet devotes much of his leisure hours to his library, which contains many
miscellaneous and standard works by the best authors. Through his grandmother,
Polly Chase, and his great-grandmother. Prudence Leland, Mr. Batcheller is
related to the Chase and Leland families of New England. His mother was Sarah
A. Phillips, a descendant from Rev. George Phillips, who came from Norfolk,
England, in 1630. Her grandfather. Ebenezer Phillips, enlisted April 24, 1775,

enlisted m the 21st Massachusetts Regiment for three years. The Regiment left for
the seat of war Aug., 1S61, and went into camp at Annapolis, Md., joining the ist
Brigade, 2d Division of the 9th Army Corps, General Bursnide in command. He
served mainly throughout the war, or until wounded at Cold Harbor. He was in
service for over three years and participated in the following battles: Roanoke
Island, Newbern, (loldsboro, Kingston, Whitehall, Little Washington, Manas-
sas Junction, Rappahannock, Second Bull Run, Chantilly. South Mountain,
Antietam, Mine Run, Fredericksburgh, Chancellorsville, Culpepper, Warrenton,

and Cold Harbor, .'\fter the battle of Spottsylvania he was promoted to Sergeant
Major. The Twenty-first Regiment, of which he was a member, was recruited at
"Camp Lincoln," at Worcester. The men belonged to the central and western
portions of the Commonwealth. This was one of the five regiments recruited in
Massachusetts for secial service, designed originally to be commanded by Gen.
Thomas W. Sherman, but which command was afterwards given to General Burn-
side; Augustus Morse, of Leominster, one of the three major-generals of militia of
the commonwealth, was commissioned colonel. A. C. Maggi, of New Bedford,
who had volunteered as quartermaster-sergeant in the Third Regiment of the three
months' militia, was commissioned lieutenant-colonel. He was an Italian by birth,
a citizen by choice, and a thoroughly educated olificer. William S. Clarke, pro-
fessor in Amherst College, was commissioned as major. This regiment, after a
brief stay in camp, started for the seat of war Aug. 23, 1861, and first encamped at
Annapolis, where for nearly five months it performed the duty of protecting the
road to the Capital, and keeping the state of Maryland in the Union. In January,
1862, it started for North Carolina; its colonel who had been brigadier-general in
the militia, resigned soon after their arrival, and Lieutenant-Colonel Clarke was
commissioned colonel next day. It made part of General Burnside's expedition,
and was engaged in the battles at Roanoke Island, at Newbern, and at Camden.
The regiment remained South till the famous campaign of General Pope, in July.

Oct. II, a spirited engagement occurred at Blue Springs, when the Twenty-first
drove the enemy from its position, and pursued it twenty-six miles, having marched

service was severe, and their conduct heroic. They are said to have marched and
countermarched through storm and cold without tents, and on half rations, poorly
clothed and badly shod, twenty men doing duty through November barefoot, and
yet doing their duty cheerfully and with such alacrity as to have acquired the
name of the "Fighting Regiment." At the siege of Knoxville they did active duty,

raised the 5th of December; and though only able to have for their subsistence twO'
ears of corn per day, yet following hard on the footsteps of the retreating enemy,
into the woods of East Tennessee; and then, with the memory of what they had
passed through, and realizing what was before them, half starved as they were,
they crowned their service of two and a half years by further enlistment for three
years. If any men ever deserved well of their country, surely such as these did.
It is worthy of note that all but thirty-six of the regiment, who were alive and
present for dutj', became veterans. In January, 1864. they came home on a fur-
lough, and were honored with an enthusiastic reception at Worcester as a regi-
ment. Returning, they were reviewed and welcomed back by President Lincoln.

dan, to co-operate with the army of the Potomac in the final "pounding out" of
the Rebellion, they made a part of that force with which Grant said he should
"fight it out on that line if it took all summer." They were on the road to Rich-
mond all that year; and in the Wilderness, at Soottsylvania, at North Anna, Cold
Harbor, Petersburg, Welden Railroad, Poplar Spring Creek, and at Hatches Run,
they met the shock of arms, and proved veterans in deed as well as in name.
Major Batcheller was through it all and served in many daring charges and all the
engagements. After his return to Worcester he joined the Worcester Brass Band,
and received a good musical education and training from the skilled hands of
Thomas Richardson. Some years ago he went to Binghamton, N. Y., since which
time he has made music his chief study; teaching band music. He was leader of
one of the principal bands in that city, which bears the name of Batcheller. Res.

ford, Iowa, Sept. 13, 1876, Eva Elzina Emerson, b. April 30, 1855. Moses F. Batch-
eller was born in the town of Burrillville, County of Providence, State of Rhode Is-
land. His parents moved to Houston Co., Minn., when he was one year and a
half old, and lived there eight years, and then moved to Vineland, New Jersey,
stayed there six months and then moved back to Minn., the same county, and lived
there three years. Then moved near Cedar Falls, Blackhawk Co., Iowa. From
the age of 17 to 30 he dealt in horses quite largely; handled stable horses and ran
threshing machines. He has owned considerable real estate and has dealt quite
largely in it. Is now engaged in farming in Cedar Falls. Has traveled extensively
through that section of country. Some ten or twelve years ago (1884) while look-
ing at land in eastern Nebraska, crossing the Indian reserve, he met eight or nine
Sioux Indians on the wild, open prairies of Nebraska, seven miles from a house,
and a-foot at that. All the friend he had that time was a little 32-caliber revolver;
but they passed him by, strung along two or three rods a part after they had passed
him. Then he thought they would come around with some bluff after his wish-
bone, for lots of white men have been lost there and never heard of after that time
— if they could catch them in the right place. Moses' hair stood on end; it was
nearly dark when he met them, and after a little the wolves set up their howl, but
did not faze him, like the red-skins; and he finally escaped. Res. Cedar Falls,
Iowa.

Kezia (Wallin) Batcheller, was born in
Wilmington. Houston Co., Minnesota.
May 29. 1858. When he was 7 years of
age his father bought a farm near Cedar
Falls, Iowa, and moved there with his
family. There Stephen spent his boyhood
days, attending the district school in the
vicinity of his home, the public schools
of Cedar Falls, and later the Iowa State
Normal School. walking a distance of five
miles to and from school. When 21 years
of age Mr. Batcheller located a home-
stead of one hundred and sixty acres of
land, about five miles from Neleigh, Elk-
horn Co.. Nebraska. But owing to the
rigor of the climate and the hardships to
be encountered in improving a farm in
the far West, in those days; and, as Mr.
Batcheller was not naturally of a strong
constitution, he decided to abandon his
western project, and consequently dis-
posed of his land. About this time the
Sioux City & Pacific Railroad Company
was extending its road to the Black
of Council Blufifs, Iowa, who had a contract to

Batcheller was engaged in the cattle business with Sturgess, Goodale & Co., of
Wyoming Territory. This was, at this time, one of the most extensive cattle
ranches in the United States, keeping twenty-five thousand cows; and, in the fall
of i88r, shipped six thousand cattle to Chicago. At the age of 24 years Mr. Batch-
eller left the Western States to make for himself a home in New England, the home
of his forefathers, which he had always had a great desire to see. He read med-
icine for two years, but finally decided to make the drug business his profession.
In 1886 he married Emma Lillian, daughter of Hon. Arlon Mowry, a prominent
banker and politician of Woonsocket, Rhode Island. Later he settled in Woon-
socket, establishing a retail drug store, and is now one of the leading pharmacists
of that place. Res. Woonsocket, R. I.

Abington, Lackawanna Co., Pa., in 1847, and received his education at Madison
Academy in his native place, and at Waverly Academy. Waverly, N. Y. He be-
gan his business career at the early age of 12 years, by clerking at intervals in the
village store and postofifice, often being in full charge for days. At the age of six-
teen he engaged with the United States Sanitary Commission, and for six months
was in charge of the work of the Commission at Camp Parole, near Annapolis,
Maryland. On his return from the South, he entered the employ of the D. L. &
W. Ry. Company, at Scranton, Pa., and after three vears of responsible service
with that company, accepted a position with the Delaware & Hudson Canal Com-
pany, at the same place, removing to Cleveland. Ohio, three years later, where he
represented the company in various capacities for eighteen years. He was then
summoned to Buffalo, N. Y., and placed in charge of the Western sales and ship-
ments of the company, where he is now (1897) stationed. Under the leadership and
influence of his father (Leonard) he early became interested and active in the
church work of the Presbyterian denomination, and was ordained an elder before
reaching the age of 21, continuing the work early begun, down to the present. An
earnest Republican, but not an office holder, he has quietly worked for the success
of that party. In 1870 he married Sallie Latshaw Beidler, daughter of a respected
Mennonite minister of Chester Co., Pa. Their three children, Mary Isabella, Jes-
sie Hannah (now Saunders), and Ward Atlee. are still living. Res. Buffalo, N. Y.

age of 16, and, being the eldest child, the duties of caring for his mother and her
brood of young children fell to him. After his father died they remained in Can-
ton about two years, when the home was sold and they moved to Pierpont, a town
adjoining, where he has since resided and has been a farmer since, till old age com-
pelled him to stop. He commenced in Pierpont by purchasing forty acres of land,
and, as years went by, adding to it, he found himself sole owner of 200 acres of as
fine farming land as any in the county. This farm he sold some years ago to his
son Henry and purchased a small farm of sixty acres, and even that is too large for
a man 83 years old. Res. So. Canton, N. Y. ; postofhce Crary's Mill.

and passed the remainder of his life with his daughter — dying from paralysis. In
many ways his life was an eventful one. He was in Washington during the whole
of the Civil War and had many dealings with the soldiers, and was acquainted with
many of the men whose names are now famous on history's pages. He had a
singularly gentle, refined nature; was chivalrous and manly in all his dealings, and

come to town and attend the academy. From there he went to
college, St. Lawrence University, located at Canton, and grad-
uated in 1876 with the degree B S.. afterwards receiving the de-
gree of M. S. He studied law at the University of Wisconsm
and was admitted to the bar in 1878 and became a member of the

iness interests called him to Canton, and he opened an office here

vears. He was also president of the village board. Several
years ago he was elected a member of the Board of Trustees of

Carter, dau. of Samuel W., b. June 12, 1833;
d. Aug. 5, 1892. Alden Batchelder was born
at the ancient home of the family on Frank-
lin street, Reading, now owned by Adelbert
E. Batchelder. The farm on which he spent
his youth was bought by the family in the
earliest days of the settlement of the town —
a portion of it probably from the aborigines.
The bridle-path, which in those days was the
way from the territory north of the Ipswich
River to the settlement on the borders of the
^^^ Wakefield ponds, passed by the old home-
stead, then situated on the opposite side of
the street. Mr. Batchelder was the son of
Herrick and Rebecca (Preston) Batchelder,
and a descendant of John Batchelder, one of
the earliest settlers of the town. The name
Herrick, borne by his father, was the family

ALDEN BATCHELDER.

BATCHELLER GENEALOGY. 579

. name of his grandmother, through whom he descended from Henry Her-
rick, who settled in Salem in 1629. His mother's mother was the daughter
of Benjamin Upton, Esq., a man of note in the North Precinct, and on
his mother's side, also, he traces his descent from Peregrine White of the Plymouth
Colony, the first child of European parents born in New England. He is also a
descendant of Rebecca Nourse, a victim of the Salem witchcraft delusion of two
centuries ago. His mother's name, Rebecca, had been borne by her female ances-
tors for several successive generations, probably in remembrance of their unfortu-
nate predecessor. In his childhood he attended school in the old "North School-
house," which stood at the corner of Forest and Pearl streets. When the district
was divided, he became a pupil at the school located at the corner of Main and
Franklin streets. The influence of his uncle, the well-known educator, "Master
John" Batchelder, who dwelt in the same house, caused him to early acquire a taste
for books and a desire for knowledge. He has, in consequence, always shown a
great interest in the various plans of the young for self-improvement. At one time
he devoted a room in his factory to the use of those who wished to meet for the
practice of debating. In the Natural History Society, formed for the purpose,
among others, of learning and preserving facts connected with the town, he has
been a very important factor. Since 1890, he has been a trustee of the Laurel Hill
Cemetery, a large portion of which his home overlooks, and his watchful care and
taste have been of great service in improving that final resting-place of our dead.
His business career has been successful. He commenced at about 20 years of age,
by learning the details of practical manufacturing as an apprentice of the late Geo.
O. Batchelder, who was then engaged in making furniture at the corner of Main
and Pearl Sts. In 1864 commenced business on his own account, succeeding the late
Solon A. Parker on Pearl, near Salem St. The veterans in the business, on account
of the havoc made in this industry by the great struggle, tried in vain to dissuade him
from his attempt to become the master of his own fortune. He succeeded, how-
ever, and remained where he started till the fall of 1876, when his factory was de-
stroyed by fire — employing an average force of twentv-five workmen, and producing
about $50,000 worth of finished goods annually. His special line was parlor desks
and bookcases. At first he catered for the Southern trade, but later he found a
market nearer home and in the West. After the Pearl street conflagration, he re-
moved his business to Charlestown, Mass., where he contracted for the labor of a
large number of convicts in the state prison, and greatly enlarged his operations.
After the convicts were transferred to the new prison at Concord, now the reforma-
tory prison, he continued in the prison shops, employing outside workmen until
1884, when the building was again used as a penal institution. Then, as the con-
tract system of giving employment to convicts had been abandoned, he removed
to the large factory on Rutherford avenue, where he still continues. He has been
successful, not only in passing safely through all the vicissitudes of the financial
world since the closing years of the war, meeting every obligation when due, and
obtaining a competence, but in securing the confidence of his fellow citizens to a
very marked degree. He is vice president of the First National Bank of Reading,
and has held other business positions requiring confi.dence in his sound judgment
and integrity. Political preferment he has never sought, though taking an interest
in public affairs, and keeping himself exceptionallv well informed concerning them.
Mr. Batchelder has two sisters: R. Jane, wife of George Beard, and Ellen, a twin
sister, wife of John H. Cleaves; also two brothers: Herri ck, deceased, and John.

Nathaniel Osgood, was a shipmaster of Salem, and his father,
Charles Osgood, was an artist, having great success as a portrait
painter, whose portraits now hang upon the walls of the Memo-
rial Hall at Cambridge, the historical societies of Boston and
Worcester, and the local societies of Salem. His mother, Susan
(Ward) Osgood, was the granddaughter of Dr. Edward A. Holy-
oke, the celebrated physician and centenarian of Salem, whose
father, the Rev. Edward Holyoke. was the president of Harvard
College for thirty years. Mr. Osgood was educated in the public
schools, and studied law in the office of the Hon. J. C. Perkins.
He was admitted to the bar at Salem in 1863. In 1863-64 he was
attached to the Commissary Department, and was stationed in
Virginia. He was appointed deputy collector of customs for
the District of Salem and Beverly in 1864, and held that office
until 1873. He was elected a member of the Massachusetts
House of Representatives for six consecutive years, from 1874
to 1879, inclusive, serving as chairman of the Committee on
Railroads and on the Committee on Rules. While a member of
the House he was appointed in April, 1879, to be Register of
Deeds for the Southern District of Essex County, which office
he has held by successive elections ever since that date. Mr.
Osgood has taken an active part in the city government of
Salem, serving seven years in the Common Council, and being
president of that body from 1866 to 1869, covering that period of
the introduction of Wenham water. He was a member of the
Board of Aldermen in 1870 and 1871, and a member of the
School Committee for six years. He has always been interested
in literary work, and on the establishment of a public library in
Salem, 1888, was chosen by the City Council a trustee for life of
that institution. He was also one of the trustees of the Salem
Athenaeum, and of the Salem Lyceum, and has for a number of
years been the librarian of the Essex Institute. He is the author
of the commercial history of Salem, as published in Hurd's
Essex County History,
and one of the authors
of the Historical Sketch
of Salem, published by
the Essex Institute in
1879. He married Miss
Elizabeth White Batch-
elder, and has had six
children: Elizabeth

ton, Sept. 20, 1 84 1. He fitted for college at the Boston Public
Latin School. From Dec. 8, 1863, to Aug. i, 1864, he was in the
army as first lieutenant of the Seventy-fifth United States Colored
Infantry. He took part in the Red River campaign. In Febru-
ary, 1865, he entered the law office of A. A. Ranney, Boston. He
was admitted to the bar Dec. 13, 1867, and began practicing law
at No. 35 Court St. He sailed for Europe April 12, 1873, and,
having traveled extensively, returned home April 22, 1874. He
removed, Feb. i, 1878, from No. 35 to No. 47 Court St., Boston,
where he is still engaged in practicing law, devoting himself prin-
cipally to conveyancmg. He was elected, Feb. 6, 1867, a member
of the New England Historic Genealogical Society, was for six
years chairman of the Committee on the Library ot that Society,
and is one of its directors. He was one of the original members,
and one of the first Executive Council, of the Boston Anti-
quarian Club, which was organizerl in 1879, and which was
merged in the Bostonian Society. Dec. 27, 1881. He was one of
the corporate members of the latter society, which was incor-
porated Dec. 2, 1881, and is one of its directors. He was elected
a member of the Massachusetts Historical Society, Nov. 10,
1881, a corresponding member of the Weymouth Historical So-
ciety, Jan. 4, 1882. a member of the Bunker Hill Monument As-
sociation, June 18, 1883, and of the American Historical Associ-
ation, Nov. 12, 1884. Besides writing many book notices,
reviews and occasional articles, chiefly for the newspapers, he is
a frequent contributor to the "New England Historical and
Genealogical Register." Of these "Antiquarian and Genealog-
ical Papers," the following have been reprinted in separate form:
"The Hassam Family," 1870. "Some of the Descendants of
William Hilton," 1877. "Ezekiel Cheever and Some of His
Descendants," 1879. "Boston Taverns, with Some Suggestions
on the Proper Mode of Indexing the Public Records," 1880.
"Notes and Queries Concerning the Hassam and Hilton Fami-
lies." 1880. "Early Suffolk Deeds," 1881. "The Dover Settle-
ment and the Hiltons." 1882. "Bartholomew and Richard
Cheever and Some of Their Descendants." 1882. "The Facili-

Boston and London." 1884. "Ezekiel Cheever and Some of his
Descendants. Part Second," 1884. "Ezekiel Cheever. Addi-
tional Notes," 1887. The exhaustive researches in England,
undertaken by the New England Historic Genealogical Society,
through Mr. Henry Fitz-Gilbert Waters (Harv. 1855), were first
set on foot by Hassam. Indeed, the plan originated with him,
and he is chairman of the committee under whose direction the
work has been carried on and by whom the funds necessary for
its prosecution are provided. These searches have resulted in
the accumulation of a vast amount of material concerning the
family history of the earlv settlers of this country, and particu-
larly in the remarkable discovery of the parentage and ancestry
of John Harvard — a problem which had baffled the skill of all
investigators for nearly half a centurv. He has especially exerted
himself to preserve and make arressible the ancient records,
files, papers, and documents, whether state county, or munici-
pal. The printing- of the early volumes of SufTolk Deeds is due
solely to him. The elaborate indices to these printed volumes
were devised by him and were made under his personal super-
vision. Indeed, nearly all of the recent improvements in the
Suffolk Registry of Deeds werf first suggested and strongly
urged by him. He was appointed. April 5. 1884. by the Superior
Court for the County of Suffolk, one of the commissioners under
whose authority the indices in that Registry of Deeds are made.
The re-indexing of the entire mass of the records there, upon

BATCHELLER GENEALOGY. 583

the present admirable plan— a great work now rapidly being
pushed forward to completion — is the result of his efforts. It
will save an incalculable amount of toil and drudgery. Those
who come after us wall hardly be able to picture to themselves
the state in which our public offices were at the time when the
present generation of conveyancers first entered upon the active
work of life. After repeated attempts and many discouragements
he succeeded in rescuing from threatened destruction a large
part of the original Court files of Suffolk County, including the
files of the Superior Court of Judicature and the Court of As-
sistants, and in obtaining the large appropriations necessary for
their preservation and proper arrangement. The work is now
being carefully done under the direction of the Clerk of the
Supreme Judicial Court, by Mr. William P. Upham (Harv. 1856).
More than 200,000 documents, extending in date from the first
settlement of the country to about the time of the Revolution,
are now for the first time being made accessible to historical
investigators. The original plans for the new court-house for
the County of Suffolk made no provision for the Registry of
Deeds and Probate Court. It was largely owing to his active
exertions that the changes in these plans were made, and the
Act of 1886 passed, enlarging the authority of the Court House
Commissioners, and authorizing the taking of additional land
for the accommodation of these two departments. He pre-
pared, and in spite of considerable opposition secured the pass-
age of. Resolve Chapter 60 of the Legislature of 1884, providing-
for an examination and report as to the condition of the rec-
ords, files, papers and documents in the State Department, pre-
liminary to the adoption of a plan for making their contents
more accessible for reference. Chapter 249 of the Acts of that
year, providing for the publication of a list of persons whose
names have been changed in this Commonwealth from 1780 to
T883. inclusive, was drafted and carried through the Legislature
by him. This list of persons, nearly 10,000 in number, is of the
greatest assistance to the conveyancer as well as to other inves-
tigators.

• very well as salesman in commission houses in Boston, choosing the leather trade.

Zachariah, David, John. John, John), b. Sunapee, N. H., Feb. 26, 1844; rh. at
Keene, April 24, 1879, Alice Hills Hawyard. b. Oct. 10, 1855. In the middle of the
last century, when Beverly, Mass., was a flourishing seaport, engaged extensively,
like Salem, Portsmouth, Newburyport, Plymouth and Marblehead, in prosperous
commercial pursuits, a life on the ocean was one to which its young men of ambi-
tion aspired, and to which they looked for a secure and contented livelihood.
Among these young men was the great-grandfather of Alfred Trask Batchelder,
and in the command of a ship his career was crowned with success. His son,
Zachariah Batchelder, in consequence, probably, of the uncertain conditions of
navigation in Revolutionary times, entered on a business rather than a sailor's
life, and removed from Beverly to Sunapee, New Hampshii-e. His son, Nathaniel,
born in Beverly, went in his youth with his father to Sunapee and there became a

BATCHELLER GENEALOGY. 585

successful farmer, occupying a prominent position in the town, and taking an
active part in the administration of its affairs. He married, in Sunapee, Sarah
Trask of Newport. New Hampshire, and the subject of this sketch was his son.
He was a man of moderate means, but in the education of his children he took
great interest and pride. Alfred Trask Batchelder. son of Nathaniel and Sarah
Trask Batchelder, was born in Sunapee, N. H. He received his early education
in the district schools of his native town and at the Academy in New London, N.
H., and fitted for college at the Seminary in Tilton, N. H He graduated at Dart-
mouth College in 1871, and studied law in the office of Judge W. H. H. Allen and
Hon. Ira Colby, in Claremont, N. H. Both of his instructors were eminent in
their profession, and under their guidance he laid the foundations for the pursuit
of a profession in which he has become successful and distinguished. He was
admitted to the Sullivan County bar in September. 1873, and at once began practice
in Claremont, associated with Mr. Colby, whose pupil he had been. He remained
with Mr. Colby until 1877, supplementing his earlier education in the law by the
preparation for trial of many of the important cases in which his partner was
engaged. In 1877 he removed to Keene. N. H.. and became a partner with Francis
Augustus Faulkner, and his son, Francis C. Faulkner, under the firm name of
Faulkners & Batchelder. His connection with Mr. F. A. Faulkner not only
attested the high position which he had already attained at the bar, but furnished
also the best opportunities for his further advancement. Mr. Faulkner was a
thoroughly educated lawyer, a graduate of Harvard and of its law school. He had
been in practice in Keene since 1849, and three years before his connection with
Mr. Batchelder had declined an appointment to the bench of the Supreme Court
of New Hampshire. No man at the bar was more respected or enjoyed more
fully the confidence of the community. He died May 22. 1879, and during the two
years in which Mr. Batchelder was associated with him the business of the firm
was established on the firm basis which it has since fully retained. Since the death
of Mr. Faulkner the partnership of Mr. Batchelder with his son, Francis Child
Faulkner, has continued under the firm name of Batchelder & Faulkner. Not-
withstanding the extensive practice which Mr. Batchelder enjoys, he finds time to
engage in enterprises and pursuits outside of his profession. His fellow-citizens
have not failed to demand his services in their behalf, and in 1885 and 1886 he was
mayor of Keene. He is president of the Cheshire Provident Institution for Sav-
ings, president of the Impervious Packing Company, president of the C. B. Lan-
caster Shoe Company, president of the Stoddard Lumber Company, director in
the Emerson Paper Company of Sunapee, and a director in the Ashuelot and
Keene National Banks. In the line of his profession he succeeded Judge W. H.
H. Allen as Registrv of Bankruptcy under the United States Bankrupt Law. and
from 1879 till the Cheshire Railroad Company consolidated with the Fitchburg
Railroad he was its general counsel. Mr. Batchelder is associated with the Epis-
copal Church, and in politics is active in the ranks of the Republican party. As a
churchman and politician, while not a church member nor a seeker for office, he
freely responds to all reasonable demands on his time and purse. He is promi-
nent in the ranks of Masonry and a member of the Hugh De Paine Commandery
of Knight Templars. Mr. Batchelder married Alice H.. daughter of Peter B. and
Mary H. Hayward, of Keene. and has two sons, fourteen and fifteen years of age,
now attending school. — (From "The New England States." bv William T. Davis,

Esther Elizabeth Adams, b. Farmington. Me., July i, 1826. The childhood of Cory-
don was passed at Solon and at Farmington, Me., and he received his education at
Solon and in the Maine Wesleyan College at Kents Hill, Me. He was a tanner
and currier by trade, as was his father before him, and learned his trade in his
father's tannery at Salon. After learning the trade of a tanner he worked for his
father and for a Mr. Bunker who had a tannery at Anson. Maine, and also for
Joshua Adams in his tannery at Wilton, Me. He was married at Wilton by Re\.
E. Curtiss, to Esther Elizabeth Adams, eldest child of Joshua Adams and Abagill
(Frost) Mosher. After his marriage he removed to Solon and went into partner-
ship with his father, in the tanning business, under the firm name of John Bache'.ler
& Son. This partnership continued for about five years, when he sold his interest
in the business to his father, and removed to Wilton, where he bought the tannery
of his father-in-law, Toshua Adams, and engaged" in business there. During his
residence at Solon his son, Norris Corydon Bacheller. was born on the 26th day
of Sept. 1856. in the Tibbetts house next to the Union church. He continued in
the tanning business in Wilton for about ten years, or until 1866, when he sold his
tannery and business to Henry Bass, who had been apprenticed to him and who
learned his trade of him. During his residence at Wilton there was born to him
Fred Elmer Bacheller. who died aged six month.s. and who is buried at Wilton.
Also his daughter. Emily Elizabeth Bacheller, who was born in the house now
owned by Thos. Dudley, Jr , at the corner of the Weld road and the road to East
Wilton. She is married to Floyd N. Smith and resides at Helena, Montana. Dur-
ing his residence at Wilton he became a member of the Congregational church of
that place, and also a member of the Masonic Lodge at Farmington, Maine. In
December of 1866 he sold his tannery and removed to the West. After stopping
some months at La Crosse. Wis., he removed his family to Cape Girardeau, Mo.,
and he himself went to Fort Smith, Arkansas, where he engaged in buying hides
for the Boston market. His dealings in hides being unprofitable and disastrous to
him financially, and his family being in poor health, he removed back to La Crosse.
Wis., after having been away thirteen months. After coming back to La Crosse he
was engaged in various kinds of business, mostly in connection with the hide and
leather trade, and. in 1875. went to Mt. Pleasant. Iowa, where he was foreman in
the tannery of Stephen Harvey, and where he remained until 1878, when Mr. Har-
vey having failed in business he returned to La Crosse, where he entered the em-
ploy of the Davis Medary & Platz Company, in their tannery. In January of 1880
he was taken with a severe attack of typhoid pnuemonia, from which he never fully
recovered. In Julv following, upon the invitation of his brother, Carleton. at Em-
poria. Kan., he went to that place in hope that his health would be benefitted, but
no permanent relief was experienced and he died before his wife, who hid been tele-
graphed for. could reach his bedside. His remains were brought to La Crosse and
now lie in Oak Grove Cemetery at that place. In politics he was a Democrat until
the breaking out of the Civil War. when he became a Republican and continued
to be such until his death. During his residence at Wilton he was a delegate to
the congressional convention that nominated James G. Blaine for Congress the
first time that he ran for that position. He was an honest, industrious, upright.

Norris Corydon Batcheller was born in Solon, Somerset Co.,
Maine, in the Tibbetts house next to the Union church. When
two 3'ears old his father removed to Wilton, Maine. He attended
the public schools at Wilton and was one year at the East Cor-
inth Maine Academy. In 1866 his father removed to the west,
and after residing at La Crosse. Wis., some months he went with
the rest of the family to Cape Girardeau, Mo., where he re-
mained until the family removed back to La Crosse, Wis., in
t868. During bis stay there he attended the public schools 01
Cape Girardeau. After coming back to La Crosse he attended
the schools of that city and was a pupil in the high school of La
Crosse when it was first organized. His father being in straight-
ened circumstances, financially, he carried papers for the Morn-
ing Leader for several years, and did what he could to help keep
the family. In the winter of 1873-4 he taught school in a log
school house in the school district west of Stevenstown Post-
ofifice. La Crosse Co.. and in the township of Farmington. In
T875 he went to Mt. Pleasant, Iowa, and attended the Iowa Wes-
leyan University at that place, and went as far as the junior year
in that college. While at that college he held various class of-
fices and was president of the Hamline Literary Society for one
term. In 1878 he returned to La Crosse. Wis., and for some
months studied law in the ofifice of Stogdill and Daniels, but his
father's health being poor, he went to work in the tannery of
Davis Medary & Platz Companv. as a currier, in order to keep
the family together. His father died in 1880 and the care and
support of the family has devolved upon his ever since. He re-
mained with the Davis Medary & Platz Company until Dec.
1882. During this time he was a member of the La Crosse Light
Guard. Company C, Third Battalion W. N. G., and was orderly
sergeant of the company and holds an honorable discharge for
five years' service in the State Militia. During that time he was
also chairman of the First Ward Democratic Committee of La
Crosse. In the winter of 1882-83 he went to Billings, Montana,
and entered the employ of H. Clark & Co., the contractors who
were at that time building the Northern Pacific railroad. For
several years he was with this firm and bought buffalo hides and
furs from Indians and white hunters, on his own account. The
firm that he worked for went out of business in 1886, when he
entered the employ of the N. P. Ry. Co.. and remained there un-
til he returned to La Crosse in 1887. where his mother and sister
had continued to reside. During his stay at Billings he was
twice elected clerk of the school board of that place, and in 1885
was nominated for member of the legislature for Yellowstone
connty, against Judge E. N. Harwood. now Justice of the Su-
preme Court of Montana, but he was defeated by a few votes,
having run far ahead of the rest of the ticket. After his return
to La Crosse he entered the fire department of that city as sece-
tarv, and was also captain of Tnirk Company No. i, and re-
mained in the department nearly four vears. In 1891 he was
nominated for city clerk and was elected by the largest majority
of any one on the ticket. He was also one of the commissioners
of the Sinking Fund of La Crosse, and was clerk of the Board
of Health. In 1891 he was elected ^^hairman of the Democratic
County Committee of La Crosse Co.. which position he held
for three years. On Nov. 2. i8q3. President Cleveland nomi-
nated him for postmaster of La Crosse, and on the 5th inst. he
vvas confirmed by the Senate of the U. S. On Nov. 20th. follow-
ing, he was appointed custodian of the Federal building at La

He has been an active Democrat in politics since a very early
age, and has been a delegate to most of the democratic state and

tors— the Congregational. He is a member of the Winnesheik

this sketch was horn in Somerset, Ky. Attended school there, and also an acad-
emy; he spent considerable of his time with his grandfather, the well known land
lawyer of Kentucky, Hon. Robert M. Bradley of Lancester, Ky In 1870 he moved
with his parents to Emporia, Kas., attending the high school at that point and
spending four years in the State Normal, which institution is located at Emporia.
After quitting school he returned to Kentucky and spent several years studying
law with his grandfather and uncle, R. M. and W. O. Bradley, the latter now being
the governor of that state; was admitted to practice law at Lancester, and his uncle
and grandfather gave him considerable business to attend to. Leaving Kentucky
once more he returned to Emporia and practiced law with his father, under the
firm name of Bacheller & Bacheller. A year or so later than this the members of
the bar at Emporia made a unanimous request in writing, upon Mr. Bacheller, to
become a candidate for Clerk of the District Court of Lyon Co. He became a can-
didate for the olifice, but being considered a "lawyer's candidate" was defeated by a
small number of votes. This rather discouraged the young man and he obtained a
position as cashier of the local freight office of the A. T. & S. F. at Albuquerque,
N. M.; this was in 1881; seven months later he was promoted to station agent a"
Coolidge, N. M., for the A. & P. Ry. Later he was given considerable authority
and was acting superintendent of that division of the road, also assistant material
agent. From that position he was appointed terminal agent, opening up new sta-
tions as the A. & P. Ry. was pushed further west across the frontier. After the
road was completed he took the position as agent of that line at Ash Fork, Ariz.,
which was the railroad point for Prescott and the mining district and Whipple
Barracks, which was then the military headquarters for Arizona and New Mexico,
tmder General Crook. Mr. Bacheller was also express agent and later on was ap-
pointed quarter master's agent for the government, in addition to his other work.
After several years he became dissatisfied with living in this kind of country and
resigned his position, taking a position on the A. T. & S. F. proper. Soon after
he was offered the position as traveling auditor on the A. & P. road, and returned
to that line: then the A. T. & S. F. offered him a position as commercial agent at
Pueblo, which he held for about twelve months, when the A. & P. railroad offered
him the position of assistant general freight agent at Albuquerque, whicli he ac
cepted and held for nearly two years, but finally resigned, as he did not want to
live in that section of the country any longer, and being offered a position as com-
mercial agent of the Santa Fe at Detroit, Mich., he accepted same and from there
was appointed commercial agent of the A. T. & S. F. at St. Joseph, where he now
resides, having jurisrliction over northwest Missouri and the northern part of Kan-
sas west to the Colorado state line. On Sept. 17. 1890. he married Miss Minnie
Moore, daughter of Col. John M. Moore, and granddaughter of General William
