Thomas  Battelle,  whose  descendants  comprise,  as  it  is 
supposed,  all  o7~the  name  of  Battelle,  with  various  spell- 
ings, in  the  Northern  and  Western  sections  of  the  United 
States,  was  of  Dedham,  Norfolk  county,  Massachusetts. 
The  family  of  Battle,  in  Noftli  Carolina,  to  which  Judge 
William  H.  Battle  belongs,  is,  possibly,  descended  from 
Thomas  Battelle;  but  this  is  uncertain.  The  tradition  in 
the  North  Ciirolina  family  is,  that  its  ancestor  came  directly 
from  England  to  Virginia.  Family  tradition  can  not,  how- 
ever, be  relied  on,  and  this  family  may  be  descended  from 
Thomas  Battelle,  perhaps,  through  Jonathan,  a  son  of 
Thomas,  a  branch  of  the  family  not  very  full}'  traced. 

The  descendants  of  Thomas  Battelle,  in  the  male  line, 
seem  to  be  much  less  numerous  than'  those  of  most  other 
progenitors  who  immigrated  to  this  countrj^  at  as  early  a 
period,  and  whose  genealogies  have  been  published.  In 
what  year,  and  from  what  part  of  England  Thomas  Bat- 
telle came  over  to  the  Massachusetts  Bay  Colony,  is  not 
ascertained.  The  name  of  Battelle  was  recorded  as  a  fam- 
ily name  in  England  as  early  as  the  twelfth  century.  It 
would  seem  to  have  been  of  Norman  origin.  It  had  two 
coats  of  arms. 

Thomas  Battelle,  in  his  numerous  signatures,  which  re- 
main in  the  public  records  of  Dedham,  always  spells  his 
name  as  here  written.  The  name  was  probably  pronounced 
by  him  Baitaly,  as  his  pastor  records  his  name  with  that 
spelling  in  every  instance,  and  it  is  also  thus  spelled  in  other 
records. 

The  first  record  in  which  the  name  of  Thomas  Battelle 
appears  in  Dedhara,  is  that  of  his  marriage,  recorded  thus : 
•'  Thomas  Battaly  and  Mary  Fisher  was  married  the  5  of 

(5) 


G 

7  mo.,  1648."  In  the  same  year,  November  4th,  there  was 
a  grant  to  him  by  Henry  J>rooke,  one  of  the  original  pro- 
prietors of  the  town,  of  four  acres  of  land,  adjoining  the 
house  lot  of  Rev.  John  Allen,  the  pastor.  This  lot  of  four 
acres  was  not  his  house  lot,  which  was  another  lot  else- 
where described  in  the  records,  so  as  to  identify  it  with  the 
house  lot  of  his  descendant,  Ebbnezer  Battelle,  a  hundred 
years  later.  A  portion  of  the  grants  of  land  to  him  were 
clearly  the  same  which  have  remained  in  the  family  in  the 
Western  part  of  the  original  township,  formerly  called  the 
Springfield  precinct,  which  is  now  the  town  of  Dover.  By 
the  indications  of  the  record,  Thomas  Battelle  enjoyed  his 
share  of  the  aj-pointments  of  the  town — that  of  Selectman 
in  1677  and  four  other  years,  and  of  Town  Clerk  from  1687 

for  years.     The  latter  preserves  to  us  the  personal 

memorial  of  a  distinct  and  practical  handw^riting.  His 
property,  as  indicated  by  the  assessment  for  taxes,  seems  to 
have  been  above  the  average  of  that  of  his  townsmen  ;  his 
average  was  above  the  eleventh  in  a  list  of  one  hundred  or 
more.  As  his  sons  came  forward,  and  age  settled  upon 
him,  a  division  of  his  property  is  maiiifest.  In  1691,  the 
year  of  his  wife's  death,  his  assessment  is  nearly  a  third 
less  than  that  of  his  son  John.  In  1698,  his  assessment,  on 
a  small  rate,  is  at  £1  6s.,  John's  at  £4  3s.,  Jonathan's,  £3  4s. 
In  1705,  only  the  names  of  the  two  sons  appear.  This 
looks  naturally  to  the  close  of  life,  with  the  end  of  its  cares 
and  responsibilities.  The  final  record  follows  two  years 
later:  "Thomas  Battelle,  the  aged,  deceased  February 
8,  1706." 

Mary  Fisher,  the  wife  of  Thomas  Battelle,  was  the 
daughter  of  Joshua  Fisher,  who  was  the  son  of  "  Fisher  of 
Syleharn"  (England).  Joshua  Fisher,  and  his  family,  Avith 
his  brother  Antony  and  family,  went  to  America.^  Joshua 
Fisher  settled  first  at  Dedham,  but  afterward  removed  to 
Mcdfield.  He  made  Thomas  Battellk  executor  of  his  will. 
By  the  church  record,  "  Mary,  the  wife  of  Thomas  Battaly, 

*  Chandler  Manuscript,  Brilisli  Museum,  quoted  in  tlie  Genealogical 
Register. 


was  admitted  to  the  church,  2  of  11  mo.,  1648."     Thomas 
Battelle  was  admitted  five  years  later.
