T he 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, Ill.,Victor C. Sanborn, Chicago, Ill., Seymour Morris, Chicago, Ill., 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. Frederick C. Pierce. Chicago, March 21, 1898. 8 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 Johny® Baschealer died at Kelsale, in Suffolk, February i, 1552.17 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 couchant. There was no crest, indicating that they were private soldiers. Before 1600 , we find the family name in the counties of Kent, Surrey, Sussex, 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 ♦Lower’s Patronymica Brittanica, 2(i. tNote to page 404. jCalendarium Genealogicuni, 1207. _ _ _ SRotuli Clausarum in Turri Londonensi. II Batchellor: The name is Norman. Gilbert Batchellor paid taillage in Normandy in 110.5. The name is variously spelled in this country and in England. ^Registers of the Parish of Kelsale, Suffolk. 9 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, Bachelor, Bacheldor, Bacheldore, Bacheledr, Bacheller, Bachellor, Bachelor, Bachilder, Bachilo, Bachillor, Bachlicor, Bachlor, Bacholter, Bactherer, Bashelor, Batchalder, Barchaldor, Batchalor, Batchelar, Batcheldor, Batcheler, Batcheller, Batchellor, Batchelor, Batchelter, Batcherder, Batchlar, Batchilder, Batchldor, Batchlor, Batcholder, Batcholdor, Battchelor, Bocldr, Batchelder. BATCHELOR [SEE BACHELOR.]—Bachelor, Bachellor, Batchelor, Batchellor, Batcheler, Batchler, Bachelere, Bachelor, 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, Bachelor, 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.” “Fair maid, send forth thine eye; this youthful parcel of noble bachelors stand at my bestowing.”—Shakespeare. All’s Well That Ends Well, ii-3. B. — Technically. 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 Farmed and Baccalarii Cursores. “The Bachelors met in the Chamber above the school of Humanitie,”—Cranford, Hist.Univ. Edin. p. 29 (Jamieson). 2 . The same as master of arts (O. Scotch). At any of our Universities the students, after four years study, take the degree of bachelor, or, as it is commonly termed, master of arts.”—Spottiswoods. 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. (b) One who was not old enough to display a banner of his own, and there¬ fore had to follow that of another, “A knight of Rome and his bachylere.”—Gower, p. 42 (Sim. Boucher). . *Will of Mark Bacheller, Probate Registry, Winchester Hants, England. BATCHELDER GENEALOGY 11 (c) A chevalier who, having made his first campaign, received a military girdle. (d) One who, on the first occasion that he took part in a tournament, over¬ came his adversary. 2 . Now. A member of the oldest but lowest order of English knighthood—the knights bachelors (knights). King Alfied is said to have conferred it on 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 Encyclopaedic 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 1-2 BATCHELDER GENEALOGY. Robert Harrison, or Robert Smith. Surnames had not ceased to fluctuate in this way 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 appears, 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 stationar 3 ^ 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 th^ world, the clans are apt to have such names as Wolf, Eagle, Salmon, Turtle, etc; the totem, or sjmibol, of the Wolf clan, the idol or image of its tutelar diety, is likelj' 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. BATCHELDER GENEALOGY. Vi 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 mediaev'al towns are quainter or more jiicturesque 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 ha\nng, 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 with 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 early 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 1084 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 digpiity 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. BATCHELDER GENEALOGY. 15 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 GATT. 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 1'. 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 11(38 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 H. 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 remains 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 only 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 VIL, the first French CANTKKIiURY CA I HKDK.AL. king to set foot on English soil, visited the shrine in 1179 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 IS BATCHELDER GENEALOGY. the Abbev 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 e.Ktreme to which this niartyrolatry 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 effects 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 pilgi'ims 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 \TII., in 1520 , received the Emperor Charles V. at Canterbury just ro.Mi! OF niF. nr„\cK i'kixce.* 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 King’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. *Cuts by permission of Tlie Interior. BATCHELDER GENEALOGY. 1!» 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 VHI., 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 exuraed 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. Today 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 Canterbury 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 bodj^ 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 1413 , 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, ancffn 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 as.semble 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 20 BATCHELDER GENEALOGY.

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. BATCHELDER GENEALOGY. 21 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 streamed in through the dusty window, turned the dark oak-paneled walls and BATCHELDER GENEALOGY. 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 IMorgan Joseph Watkin, Pursuivant Portculiis, ex¬ plained the constitution of the college. "The college consists of thirteen officers, besides the hereditarj’ 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 1417, 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- arms. 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 bj”^ 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 car\nngs 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 examination 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.

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,! 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.! We know further that he most zealously maintained the rights of the New Iftimpshire 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. *Sprague’.s American Pulpit, Vol. 1, S. tStory’s Com. Settlement of Salem. Mass.. 34. t Sprague’s Am. Pulpit, Int. XX and XXI. 3 BATCHELDER GENEALOGY. ■2« means inconsiderable, were valued little by those ardent friends of New Hampshire, who resisted the aggression ot the Bay Colony. The gTeat 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 iMerrimac, 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 undoubtedly have been materially different. He had settled Hampton under the authorization of Massachusetts, j-et 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.^ Why. then, did he procure a grant from the General Court of Massa¬ chusetts, and act under their directions? It was because he had alreadv 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 alwa^-s 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, isS'i, and admitted as Bachelor of Arts, Februarjr 3, 15S5-6. The leading profession for college graduates in that day was that of a clergyman, and he detremined to study for the ministiy, being then a member of the established church. Apparently the time between his graduation, in Februaiy, 15S5-6 and July 17. 15S7, was spent in preparation for his life work, for on the day last named the death of Edward Parrett, vicar of Wherwell in Hants, making a vacancy in that living he was presented with the place bv William West, Lord Lawarr (or de la WaiT, as it was written later) and became vicar of the church of Holy Cross and St. Peter.!; On the 26th of Januarv, 15S7-S the new incumbent compounded for the pat'ment of the first fruits of the vicarage. The N-illage 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 tour, English queens, who were renowned for their extraordinary beauttr 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 Monasters' was lady of the manor, and owned the whole milage 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 H3-de Abbev'. In the \-ear 9S6, Elfrida founded Wherewell Abbey for Benedictine nuns in penitence for the blood¬ shed in which she had been concerned. In the chartulars’ of Wherewell Abbey the story is thus told: “And in the place which bt' the inhabitants is called Wherewell founded the Church of the Hoh' Cross, beseeching Christ, that He, who, wounded on the : ever I memorable Cross, shed his blood for the redemption of the human race, might deign to grant her the pardon'purchased) b^'his death, His wounds, and b}' the shedding of his blood, rich (in gracesi.’’*' Wherewell contains five hundred and fort3--one inhabitants, and must have been a ver3- retired spot until the London and Southwestern Railroad ran a branch line through the town, about the 3'ear 1SS3, and built a ver3- substantial and commodious station at Fullerton in the parish of Wherewell. Man3- of the residences, and especialh' the old court house near the station, are of earl3- date, and look as if the3' had not changed appreciabh- in three centuries. The old Parish church of Hoh' Cross and St. Peter was pulled down and rebuilt in 1S53. The old building was repaired after the Reformation with the best portions of the Abbe3* ruins.

BATCHELDER GENEALOGY. 27 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 of “the ejection of Stephen Bachiler,” the last vicar. + 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 clergy-man of the County of Southampton. ^ 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 Paine 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 ovv-n 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, Augpist 4, 1630, as Mr. Waters makes no note that administration was granted to any other person than the executrix named in the will.^ 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¬ elor and Company! in the year 1632, or thereabouts,j; for the mouth of the river (Sagadahoekei. 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.?; The Plough ship, of sixty tons, on the 6th day of July, 1631, arrived at Natascott (Nantasket).

It has served as a basis for a careless Maine writer to charge that Stephen Bachiler was a familist. Fortunately, other manifest errors in the same article indicate its untrustworthiness. It is evident that the members of the Plough Company, who came over in 1632. were not familists. The fact is that many of the earlier settlers of N'ew England were of bad reputation. Hundreds of ignorant, starving creatures were taken from the streets and sent 28 BATCHELDER GENEALOGY. It has been said that this grant was afterwards called the province of Lygonia.. after Cicely Lygon, the mother of Sir Ferdinando Gof'ges; 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 earnestly to be hoped that this Plough pateot, 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 Uummers reside at South Stoneham or Swathling, where the ancient church bears several Dummer memori¬ als, and this was the last residence of Stephen Bachiler in England. A relationship existed between the Bachilers and the Dummers which cannot yet be traced. J 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 1B30 and lti40, were 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 utterly unsupported. •' M.S. No. :1448 Brit. Museum and Col. Papers, Pub. Rec.

Jenner, in a letter to Winthrop, dated 5, 2m, 45, mentions, “the tract of land which Mr. Cleeve doth challenge by vertue of his Patent, viz., from Sagadehock River to Cape Porpus,” and says that Joclyn, who succeeded Cleeve, claimed “that Mr. Cleeve, his (terminus a quo) should begin sixty miles up Chenebeck River, because the Patent saith, it must lie nere two Islands which are about sixty miles from the .sea.

IMS. letter of Richard Dummer to Nath’l Bachiler, sen., 14th, 4th mo., 1673: “my cosserr nathaniell bacheler of Hampton.’ BATCHELDER GENEALOGY 29 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, 8 March, 1631-2, and evidently brought in the “William and Francis,” or the “Whale.”|| Mr. Bachiler adventured /'loo in the Company and loaned them of which amount 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 1631, and having 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.■; 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 pas.sed the following order: “October 3, 1632, Mr. Batchiler is required to fobear exercising hisGuifts as a pastor or teacher publiquely in or patient, 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 i 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, j: 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, offered 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., S Letter of Rev.

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 in 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 the 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, they 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 by 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.*iy 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 February, 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 prevented 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 in 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. ”J The inducement which led him to attempt a settlement at Yarmouth was undoubtedly 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 Plymouth Colony. J 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- § Ibid.. 1* 1.57. !l Winthrop's X.

On Tuesday, October i6, 1638, the settlement was begun, the journey from Newbury being made in a shallop. On the "th 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.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 Stoneliam, 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 July, 1639, he and Christopher Hussey sold their houses and lands in Newbury for six score pounds,” 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.‘[ 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 1644 and 1658, copied according to the town vote, concerning the copying of grants with witnesses, if necessary, is the following: To Stephen Bachiler, sometimes of Hampton, 1.

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 Strawben-y Bank, east by the Atlantic Ocean, south by Salisbur}^ 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 worshippers sided with Mr. Qalton, SX. H. Provincial Papers. Vol. I, p. 1.71. Winthrop's X. K.. Vol. 1, page 2 et seq. • Hampton Records. MSS..

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 earnestlv 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 \vife.i Winthrop adds, appar- entlj- 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 copj' 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 any of them were true, except in the case of Underhill, 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 olfense in those da^-s, 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 easih'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 hardl)- 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 ihat 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 ever}- person accused confessed his guilt. A sli.ght 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.*' 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 t Register for 1885, page -Xs. i Winthrop’s X. E., *44, 4.5. ^ Hugh Peter's letter to Winthrop.—Mass. Hist. Coll.. Fourth Series. Vol. VI. 4ugh their mediation he was released of his excommunication, but not received to his pastor’s office. It is undoubtedly to this half undoing of the great wTong done him that Bachiler refers in his letter to the church in Boston in 1643, when he says “Whiles my cause (tho ♦Sprague'.s Am. Pulpit.

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. it. 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 was 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 evidentl)^ 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 Winlhrop 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 Baj’ 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, relief 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? 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 ma}- 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,| 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 by 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, 1643-4. This call probably came from Cleeve, who had recently returned from England with a commission from Rigby as deputy president of Lygonia. 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 i8th 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 IMr. Bachiler to remove from Hampton, leavnng 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, however, 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 iMass.

BATCHELDER GENEALOGY. 35 appbation pceed in so weightly & sacred affaires, it is therefore ordered, that direc¬ tion shal be fourthwth sent to the said inhabitants to deferr the gathering of any church, or other such pceeding untill this Cort or the Cort at Ipswich lupon further satisfaction of their reconciliation & fitness) shall give allowance thereunto. ”*T 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. J 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; very likely the appointment of Mr. Symonds was offensive to Mr. Bachiler. The same year, November 12, 1C44, 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 Mr. Batcheller, their late pastor, and the other with Mr. Dalton, their teacher, both men very passionate and wanting discretion and moderation. Their differences 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 affaiers, 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 differences there.” || klay 14. 1635, “In answ'er to Mr. Bachiler’s peticon, ye House of Depts conceave it not meet to allow him anything, but leav'e 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 make 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 town, 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.* •'Mass. Colony Records [.72]. *\Vinthrop'.s N. E. li, *177: see also ii, 211, 212. tMass. Colony Records [.72]. jMass. Colony Records, Vol. Ill, .SOT.

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. J On the 27th of June, 1647, James Woodward made his will, and appointed Mr. 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, in the towme'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 speedih- 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 Februar}^ 1648, |1 the marriage must have taken place in 1647 or 1648, when he was eighty-six or eighty- seven years old. His wife, ]\Iary, was evidently much younger than he. In May, 1650, he was fined ^10 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 incontinency 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, 1651, the follow¬ ing: "We do present George Rogers and Mary Batcheller, the wife of Mr. Stephen Batcheller, minister, for adulters-. 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 fora divorce: and this order shall be sufficient order soe to doe: provided notwithstanding, that if they put in ,^50 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 Mar}' 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 ttiat 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 in 1648, adjoining the Piscataqua river, nearly opposite 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.+ tllass.

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 be 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 vSalisbury 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, which 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.g 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 statqof political affairs 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 mini.ster 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 pay from the Hampton Church except grants of land. His house, books and “near all his substance,” to the value of jC200, 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 in 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 Winthrop 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, |Mass. Hist Coll. Rec., IV, 6T.

H, births, is found Dorethia, the daughter of Stephen Samborn and Sarah, his wife, on the ed 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 of 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, 1S56, 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.\ 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, in 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 Englan^l; 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 learh 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 Gentry, 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- VLewis’'Hist. Lynn, Ifil, 103. **Mass. Colony Records, Vol. Ill [63], ♦Register XII,’ 3T3. fVol. II., p. 1T9. BATCHELDER GENEALOGY. ■id out apparently meaning more than that it denoted a husbandman or tiller of the soil, as Cain was. lie 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 Justitiae 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 in 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 e.xplains 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 1685, were brothers of Nathaniel, and therefore grandchildren of our Rev. Stephen. Whoever considers that Bachiler’s life was wasted, because neither riches nor 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. OTHER BACHELDERS IN NEW ENGLAND, I.

STEPHEN BACHILER, b. in England in 1561; m.-; shed, 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 giye 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 aw^. 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 Sambornes 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-in-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, 1630, 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 ii, 1621, and no doubt on ♦Sanborne Genealogy, by V. C. Sanborn, La Grange, 111.”“ tit seem.s worth noting that another Morgan, Sylvanus' by name, in his “Sphere of Gentry,” gives a coat of arms (which I cannot verify) for Rev. Stephen Bachiler.—Vert, a plow in fesse; in the base the sun rising or.

Amsterdam. Printed by R. P. in the Yeare MDCXXV.” (There is a manuscript inscription.) “To the honourable Gentleman Mr. Ashley his worthy freind, the Authour wisheth all happiness.” The above is the title-page of Bachiler's book; it is a thin, small, quarto bound in vellum,—55 pages in aT,—a sermon, rather dull apparently. There is a three-page preface addres.sed “To all my deare and loving Countrimen in service to the States of the United Provinces, the hon¬ ourable officers, and all honest souldiers of the English nation residing in the Netherlands, and specially (as service bindeth me) to those of Gorcum in Holland, S B. wisheth all happie .suc¬ cesses.” etc. There is also “an Admonitorie Postscript.” to “the Reader whosoever ” Gorcum, in Dutch Gorinchem. is a fortified town of 11,000 pei ple in South Holland, about twelve miles east of Dort, through which you pass in going by rail from Antwerp to Rotterdam and Amster¬ dam. I did not go there, nor is it now so important as in the time of the Spanish wars, when it was one of the keys to the province of Holland. There is no other work by Samuel Bachiler on the catalogue of the British Museum. ■6 BATCHELDER GENEALOGY. 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 doth it contain 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 “Christian 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 Calvinistic hooks 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 ;^200, with my whole study ■of books” in 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 Iris 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 in 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: J “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. Holloway 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 111 the William and Francis, March 9, 1632—as these entries show: “Michaelmas Term, 1630: W. Houghton, Thomas Roberts et 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 1626 Samuel Bachiler published another treatise on religious questions, 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. tv.

BATCHELDER GENEALOGY. 7T “Trinity Term, 1631: Thomas Mann bought of Stephen Bachiler clerk, and Helen his wife, certain land in Newton Stacey.” 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 sixty-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, 1O18 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 therein;” 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 William and Francis, with his other grandchildren, John, William and Stephen Samborne, landing at Boston June 5, 1632, when neither his wife nor the widow Samborne seems to have come.

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 w'ere 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. Hussey’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.

T he emigrant ances¬ tor of the Whittiers was Thomas Whit¬ tier, who came to this coun¬ try in 1638 from Southamp¬ ton, Eng. He was born in 1620, married Ruth Green and settled in Salisbury, Mass. After a sh mt resi¬ dence there he moved to Newbury and in 1666 was admitted a freeman at Haverhill and died there in 1696, his wife dying in 1710. They had ten chil¬ dren of whom John was the ancestor of the most numerous branch. Jos¬ eph, brother of John, be- ame the head of another •ranch. The latter’s son, Joseph, married Mary Peasley, of Haverhill, and had nine children, among them was Joseph, Jr., who married Sarah Greenleaf, of Newbury, and had eleven children. Their tenth child was John, who married Abigail Hussey. BATCHELDER GENEALOGY. 79 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 ■n WHITTIER’S BIRTHPLACE, NEAR HAVERHILL, MASS. poet, was daughter of Joseph Hussey and Mercy (Evans) of Som- ersworth, now Rollinsford, N.

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 1830, 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 THE WHITTIER HOMESTEAD. of Europe. Besides these various fine illustrated editions of some of his shorter poems have been published separately. In 1869 and again in 1876 was published a uniform edition of his poems up to date, and in 1875 he published a collection of poetry under the title of “Songs of Three Centuriek” He died Sept. 7, 1892.* This historic old dwelling in which the famous bard of the Merrimac Valley was bom, 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., 187.3: “My mother was a descendant of Christopher Hussey, of Hampton, N. H., who married a daughter of Rev.

Whittier.” BATCHELDER GENEALOGY. 81 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 time 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 Whittier kitchen would fre¬ quently reveal a savage face at the window. But this Quaker household was never harmed. DESCRIBED IN “SNOW-BOUND. ” The birthplace, its environs and the life of the family within have been well described by 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 clean-winged hearth about. Cor tent to let the north wind roar, In baffled rage at pane and door, While the red logs 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 and the gate. It is the 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, in full sight of the much loved Merri- mac. In later years he made his home at Danvers. Abigail Hussey, John Greenleaf Whittier's mother, was a de¬ scendant of Christojiher Hussey, a fellow town.sman 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. Baoiiiler 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. Ttie 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 Cushing, 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. The majestic bearing and the presence of Webster were every¬ where known. The keen glances of Cushing, 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 thej' had for conscience sake forsaken their native land, had sojourned for several j^ears 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 enlightened 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 baffled 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 tiad 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 Shawmut), 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 gth 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 Mr. 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. ii, 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 (or agricultural purposes than that which then generally engrossed attention within the jurisdiction of the Massachusetts Bay colony, but it had some adv'antages for fishing purposes; it was not encumbered by heavy forests; it was easy of cultivation; it might be had by all acceptable occupants, and the Iinlians 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 84 BATCHELDEK GENEALOGY. 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 nine 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 ability 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 1651, 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 BATCHELDER GENEALOGY. 85 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 them 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 observ'ed, 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 land 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 ot 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 in 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 re.sort, 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 facts 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 much to shape the destinies of this nation. The number of children had by John and Deborah Wing re¬ mains a matter of some uncertainly. 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 they 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 serious religious dissen¬ sion in the town. From the fir.st settlement of the place, its inhabi¬ tants were looked upon by 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, and 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 congregation had become much reduced in numbers, and was not formally divided, though distracted by factions. 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. These 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 piost 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.

Her name was Susannah Bachelder; she was the descendant of a clergyman and a woman of uncommon strength of understanding.

Copyright by Poster Bros., Boston, BATCHELDER GENEALOGY. 125 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 i8oi, 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. 1813, 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 BATCHELDER GENEALOGY. l'2H science, which has been declaimed by countless American school boys. Webster's reputation as an orator began with his address at Plymouth in 1820, on the 200th anniversary of the landing of the Pilgrims. It was increased by his address at the laying of the corner stone of the Bunker Hill monument in 1825 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, 1823, Webster returned to Congress as a repre¬ sentative from Massachusetts, and his first 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 1824 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 1828, which .was still more protective, came up for discussion, Webster had ceased to oppose protection; but his speech 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 by 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 by Webster. For the next seventeen BATCHELDER GENEALOGY. 127 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 184S 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 office 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. But 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 infiuence 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. 1-28 BATCHELDER GENEALOGY. 49 - 50. XI. xii. in iSoS, and two years after her death to Catherine Bayard le Roy\ of New York, in 1829.

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 y^ear 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¬ ton, N. H. 51. i.

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- E rietors stated that, having met with more trouble and greater difficult): in running oundaries 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.

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.

ANl ITS BATCHELDER GENEALOGY. teen children, several of whom lived to be over 90 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 lives, 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 was 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 service^ 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.

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 in that line. During the last two years of the Civil war he was in Washington, where the members of fhe 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” (1884); “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). FR.^NKLIN SIMMONS.

H., graduated at Water- ville university, IMaine, 1838; admitted to the bar in 1840. 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 1860, 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 runaway 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, 1861. In March, 1862, he led an expedition to the Gulf of Mexico. After Farragut’s capture of New Orleans, Butler commanded there from ilay 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, 1862, issued a proclamation declar¬ ing him to be an outlaw. While in New Orleans he seized $800,000 which had been deposited in the office 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 1863 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 BATCHELDER GENEALOGY. 1W» to co-operate with the Army of the Potomac from the north, but he was checked by (ieneral Beauregard, and many of his troops were transferred to the Army of the Potomac. In October, 1864, 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 f S66 he was elected to Congress as a Repub¬ lican, and served until 1879, with the exception of the year 1875-6. He took an active 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 Massa¬ chusetts in 1871, and in 1878 and 1879 was again 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 1883. In 1884 he ran as the Greenback- Labor candidate for President. He died January ii, 1893. Ch.: a. Blanche, m. Gen.

Jan. 5, 1830. He responded to the first call for soldiers in the first year of the War of the Revolution, and served in all under three different enlistments twenty months. He was at Winter Hill, near Boston, Newport, R. I., and at Ticonderoga, N. Y. He received from his BATCHELDER GENEALOGY. 1!« 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 Northwood, N. H., March 12, 1847, by Rev. Elliot C. Cogswell, pastor of the Congregational Church, was published in 1847; 8vo. 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 1758. 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 1853, 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 ev'er 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 expeditions, perils and privations in 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.'

July 12, 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 ig, 181O. 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. 200 BATCHELDER GENEALOGY. 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 city. 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 periodical. He was licensed to “preach” BATCHELDER GENEALOGY. 201 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, purehased 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 1858-9 he became associate-editor for a limited period of the “Am' Baptist,” N. Y. City. In 1862 he purchased one-third (Jj) 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 1871. 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 fora pamphlet of some 60 pages entitled “Pernicious Attorneyism Under Anglo-American Judicature.” These will be published when the time is propitious. He has had nine children, of whom four only are alive. Res. Ravens- wood. Ill., 2684 North Paulina street. 1210. i. SARAH A., b. June 29, 1842; d. infancy. 1211. ii. JAMES L. Jr., b.

Mr. Carpenter was born in McHenry county, Illinois, October 10, 1856, and lived on a farm till 19 years 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, Mr. 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.

The following June, having completed my theological studies at Lane Seminary, I received a call to be¬ come the first pastor of the Cornerville Church in connection with the church in Lawrence. I was the first home missionary in the BATCHELDER GENEALOGY. 205 eastern part of Washington county. My first meeting houses were unfinished frame or log school houses. At Cornerville I preached my first sermon in the school house where we continued to wor¬ ship on alternate Sundays for nine years before we attempted to erect the present house of worship. Here we worshipped for six years more, making in all fifteen years, when I left this church and supplied the churches of Lawrence, Stanleyville and Cedar Narrows. 1288. ii. ELLA E., b.

March 22, 1821, Rhoda Whiting, of Medway, b. Sept. 9, 1798; d. Sept. 10, 1874. William Searle Batchelder, eldest son of Odlin and Huldah Searle Batch- elder, was born m Candia, N. H. He removed, when 12 years of age, to Andover, N. H., where he lived with his parents until he reached the age of 16, when BATCHELDER GENEALOGY. 209 he went to HolHston, with his pack upon his back, to seek his fortune, and found employment at the shoe business with the late Col. Bragg at Bridgeville. He established himself in the business of manufacturing boots and shoes about 1820. Remarried Rhoda Whiting, of West Medway, the same year, with whom he lived until her death. During his early life his opportunities for education were limited to an occasional term of school, which, with his improvement of leisure 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.

Benjamin and Dorothea (Prescott) Batchelder, of Candia, N. H., and great grand¬ son of Dea. John Batchelder, of Kensington, N. H., was b. in Candia, N. H. He 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 life-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. Julia A. (Batchelder) Collins, daughter of John Morrill Batchelder, of Kingstown, N. H., who survives him. He d.

H., at the foot of Kearsarge Mountain, one-fourth of a mile from Wilmot line and one- third of a mile from Black Water river. In 1827 he went to live with an older brother in Holliston, Mass., where he worked in a shoe shop for ten (10) years. In 1833 he united with the Baptist church in West Medway, Mass., and retained his membership there for ten (10) years. In 1834 still worship in the shoe shop he be¬ gan fitting for college, reciting his lessons at the Holliston high school, but studying at home in the shop. In September, 1837, he entered the junior class in Brown University, from which institution he graduated in 1839. He immediately entered the Theological Seminary at Newton, Mass., from which he graduated in 1842. Ordained in 1843 at Medway, Mass., and immediately took the pastor charge of the Baptist church in East Longmeadow, Mass., where he continued about three years. Spent about six years preaching in Western Michigan, having his P. Office at (irand Rapids, but traveling up and down the river, being at one time the only Baptist minister between the capital and Grand Haven. In 1852 he became pastor of the Baptist church in Stafford, where he has resided ever since, occupying the pastoral office ever since, with the exception of an interval of six (6) years. During this time, in addition to the pastoral work, he held various town offices as school visitor for many years, town clerk and treasurer, etc., and Judge of Probate for the Dis¬ trict of Stafford for five (5) years. Now being in his eighty-second year, being quite infirm, all other work having been laid aside, he still continues to preach the Gospel, glad, unspeakably glad, that this has been the business of his life.

Otis Robinson Bachelor, M. D., was born at Andov'er, N. H. His parents were Odlin and Huldah L. (Searle) Bachelor. He studied in Holliston and Wilbraham, Mass., and at Kents Hill Academy, !Me., also at the medical schools in connection with Dartmouth College, N. H., and Harvard College, Mass. In 1831 he was converted, and seven years later license to preach was granted. He was ordained in Lowell, Mass., and in May, 1840, was married to Catherine Palmer. They had accepted appointments as missionaries to India, and sailed the same month, reaching Calcutta in September, and Balasore in October. He then entered 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. The history of his work is, to a large extent, a history of the mission. After four years of devoted effort in the boarding school, Mrs. Bacheler was prostrated by dis- •212 BATCHELDER GENEALOGY. ease, and hoping for favorable results from a sea voyage, she with her husband started for Calcutta. Stopping for a short rest at Midnapore, she sank rapidly, and died Jan. 20, 1845. There the bereaved husband made her grave. Aug. 12, 1846, Miss Sarah P. Merrill, daughter of Rev. Asa Merrill, sailed for the mission field. She was born at Stratham, N. H., was converted in 1828, and studied at Mt. Holyoke Seminary, Mass., 1843-5. Reaching the mission, she be¬ came Jlrs.

Tappan Hilton Batch- elder, son of Nathan 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, in 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 P'ree Will Baptist church at Waterford, 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. L, 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 1876, 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, 1885.

He is a farmer. John 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 in 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 Evan¬ gelical Congregational Church of Seabrook and Hampton Falls, N. H. 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. Fie served as clerk of this society from 1870 to 1890. Each year since 1867 he has been elected chairman of the wardens of the society, a position which he now (1897) holds. In BATCHELDER GENEALOGY. 223 1892 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, N. H. 1533. i. SARAH GREENE, b. July 23, 1848; m. May 20, 1873, Geo. A. Fogg; res. H. F. He was b.

H., in her i02d year. Prof. Tenney graduated from Dartmouth College in 1843, in 1846 received the degree of A. M., and in 1880 of Ph.D. from his Alma Mater. He was identified with schools in Pembroke and Manchester, 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—Silver 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. INI. 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 devmted 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. Res. Albany, N. Y. He d. Feb. 24, 1888; she d.

Early in life she manifested decided literary and musical tastes, in childhood preferring study to play, 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 1866 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 Binghamton in 1887, 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 1888 a widow’s sorrow came to Mrs. Tenney by the death of her noble husband. Two sons survived him—boys of nine and twelve 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 State may well be proud of its gifted daughter, and the Empire State, especially the Woman’s Christian Tem¬ perance Union, rejoices in her possession.’’ 740.

At 18 an older brother, a tanner by trade, took the farm, and Daniel, being dissatisfied, left home with a brother older; started on foot for Montreal, but did not reach there, but started a small tannery and tavern at an English and American settlement called Rougemont. Four years after, finding that business unprofitable, bought two farms joining in 1822 (which their two youngest sons ovvn at i>resent time). These farms, mostly covered with timber, meant plenty of work for those hardy pioneers. Bat they were equal to the task, ready for any emergency. First in loyalty to the crown in 1837, taking an active part in putting down the rebellion in the fight in St. Charles, etc. First in military duty, assisting and helping to maintain the militia, bearing the honor¬ able title of lieutenant-colonel at his death. He always took a leading part in establishing a church, bearing a large share of the expense. Assisted in starting schools; initiated the carrying of the mails between Sherbrooke and Montreal; was first postmaster in Rougemont; a justice peace; progressive farmer.

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 Stone, 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, i8tg, 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. g. The meeting for election of officers and organization was held Aug. 23. The contpany 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, i8ig, lieutenant-colonel, March 3, 1823; discharged Aug. 27, 1823.

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 Jetter 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. I 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, who pronounced the benediction. The singing was by a male quartette, consisting of Messrs. Leach, Sturtevant, Wirt and Farrington. 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 ousiness 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 Cemetery.. He d. Feb. 17, 1895.

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 executive 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.

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 some 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 i88g 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; Fort 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 Lament 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 sease 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 interestina; 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 discriminating military critic, Gen. Francis 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. 1877.

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 slay 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.swered 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 activ’e 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 250 BATCHELDER GENEALOGY. most of his time 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 does 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 Eighteenth Annual Meeting of the American Bar Association, held at Detroit, Mich., 1895.

He taught school sev¬ eral winters and had several invitations to enter a profession, but feeling his dependence he concluded to start out for himself. His first vote was in Deerfield, for John P. Hale, who had resigned his seat in congress because he was instructed to vote for the annexa¬ tion of Texas as a slave state. He has voted with the Republican party ever since, and was proud ot the privilege of voting for McKinley for president. He went to New’burypori in the spring of 1846, and has remained since. He started in the grocer’s work for Chesley & Merrill, and worked for them several years, when he concluded to undertake for himself.

He was the youngest of his family; left his home very early in life, and came from New Hampshire to Boston. He became inter¬ 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 fond 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. 1855; res. Boston, Mass. 1975. i.

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 1812 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 foreign 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 't imothy was there to manipulate the drumsticks. The little fellow, too small to carry the drum himself, his father performed this menial office 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 Allenstown 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. Bv 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 Allenstown and his son Horace resides in Suncook, N. H.

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 which 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 affairs, both at home and abroad, is as strong as ever.

J., Sarah Kaufman, b. May, 1819. She res. 221S East Almond street, Philadelphia, Pa. Samuel Hutchinson Batchelor was born in East Knox, Me. The first incident of note in his life was that, 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 reach, 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. Thereupim he taught himself the principles of mechanics. So expert did he become in his newly chosen field that shortly after his majority he jiublicly announced him.self 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 day, causes Mr. Pratt to say of himself, that it was one of the most memorable in his life in its beneficial effects. 18 266 BATCHELDER GENEALOGY. At Gloucester, Samuel first met the jmimg woman who became his wife, and there his son, John IMilton, 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 klexcian War, in 1849, and demand ifor 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 promi.sed prosperity. A few years later these works were moved into newly constructed buildings on the out¬ skirts of the city, the largest and most e.xtensive 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 openeil 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 undue 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 roval 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 tliat 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 very 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, invariably 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 num'oer 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 wide.spread 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 six times the cost of the best tools ever made by the Pratt & Whitney Company, because the market could never afford to ]iay for such work as Samuel put into them.’’ Mr. Prutt 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 lar'ge 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 in 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 themselv'es 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. 2193. i. JULIEN, b.-; d. 1856. 2194. ii. JOHN MILTON, b.

Batch¬ 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 15. 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. Drummond. 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 $900 salary the first year, and$i,2oo the second year, which offer he accepted, and for the first time in life started out on his o\vn 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 severe 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 point, 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 resons, 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 in 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 satistaction to all life’s requirements. In the fall of 1889, 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 maintain 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 at one-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 sapping 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. When 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 in 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 270 BATCHELDER GENEALOGY. his extensive investigations are still confined to his own knowledge, j'et he leaves no opportunity pass to produce the final accomplish¬ ment plain facts justify. 1234.

Isaac Batchelder, son of Isaac and second son of Josiah, was b. in Plainfield, Vt., in 1806. His father moved, while the son was an infant, 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 friends, and trusted and respected by the whole community. He d. 1867. Res.

FRANCIS BATCHELDER (John, Odlin P., Benjamin, John, Nathaniel, Nathaniel, Nathaniel, S’epheii), born Holliston, Mass., April 6, 1847; m. April 6. 1869, 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 str,ct 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 hai; been one of steady development along lines that today make his name respected ana hon¬ ored among his many friends, both m social and business circles. In 1869 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 1882, when he established the wholesale pro¬ vision house at 53, 55. 57 and 59 Black- stone street, Boston. He applied to this busine.ss 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- BATCHELDER GENEALOGY. 279 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 leadinir spirits in the now famous legislative fight of this organization against the New York, New Haven & Hartford R. R. freight discriminaiion. 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, bur 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 suggesiions 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.

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 farm wall 16 feet wide and 8 feet high, all taken from the adjoining land within 25 rods; res. East And¬ over, N. H. 2461. i. NAHUM J., b. Sept. 3, 1854: m.

A clipping from a Hol¬ lowed, 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, ]\Ir. 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 d. June 12, 1871.

He was b. in 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 near Oldtown, 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 i.st 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- BATCHELDER GENEALOGY. 291 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 that 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 rrtechanical ability was made useful by his superior officers in many ways, his practical kno .vledge coming in play in many cases where- immediate anti quick action was needed; res.

He spent the winter of 1842 in school at Auburn Corners, under Wesley Vincent; the next fall and winter at Western Reserve Seminary, under Dr. Asa D. Lord. He prepared for college under Rev. Samuel Bissell at Twins- burgh, Ohio, and started in August, 1845, for Williams College in Williamstown, Mass., from which institution he was graduated in 1849. His journey to col¬ lege was made by private conveyance to Cleveland, by boat to Buffalo, and by line boat on Erie Canal—a journey of eight days, to Troy, N. Y., and by stage to Williamstown. After graduation he spent some time delivering public lec¬ tures on natural history, then taught in Russell and Newbury, Ohio. In the summer of 1850 he went by boat from Cleveland, by way of Lake Huron, Mackinaw, “Michihmackinack,” and Lake ilichigan. to Racine, Wisconsin; visited Milwaukee, Hartland, Oconomo- woc and Beloit, Wisconsin, and Rockford REV.

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 exceeding!}' 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, Ilk, 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 185S. Married Elizabeth A. Griswold. Taught penmanship in Rensselaer Co., N. Y., and Berkshire Co., Mass., until the fall of 1861; 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 1869 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 Williamstown 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 in 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.

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 proces.sion 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, yet full of meaning. The burden of the pathetic song is that of the old, old story 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 successful, lostafortune 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 literary pur¬ suits. Mr. Bachelder was born in Weare, New Hampshire, in 1817. He had a public school and academic education and taught for three years, after which he BATCHELDER GENEALOGY 296 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 tbe trade of machinist, dev-eloping 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 fiv^e 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 patencing 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 6k 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 bjr 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 year. 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 royalties col¬ lected from outside licensed companies have been at least $4,000,000. 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 last patent which has linked 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 Tuesday 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 machine 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.

Sunderland, Mass., July 3, 1852, Elmina R. Worsley, b. Jan. 8, 1833. He was born in Northfield, N. H. The summer he was ii 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 b}”- 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 1851 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 making 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 patterns. 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 aj^pointed 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.

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 eider 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 triend, and sympathizer with those in trouble. Res.

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 his family. 2649. ii- LOUISA M., b. April 14, 1854; m. Sept. 20, 1876, John P. Bowen, res. H.

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 in 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 spent 48 years of his life on the ocean, 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 in sixty days after notice of loss, so it turned out all right. Crossed the Isthmus of Panama four times, three times before any railroad and once since.

Batchelder was born in Gil- manton, and died in Hyde Park, Mass. He is well known as the government historian of the Battle of Gettysburg. 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 publications, 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 m early life. At his death he was a director of the Gettys¬ burg Battlefield Memorial Association, which was incorporated in 1864-1865 and 1885. He d. Dec. 22, 1894: res.

In 1879 he mov'ed to Machias, Me., where his practice is very e.xtensive and in cer¬ tain lines is considered to be very suc¬ cessful. In 1887, took a post graduate course in Bennett Medical College, in Chicago, Ill. In 1888 was elected pro¬ fessor of theory and practice in Bennett college. Resigned his position in Ben¬ nett College and returned to his present field of labor. In the Eclectic ranks in Maine he is the acknowledged leader.

He is of an independent turn and habit of mind, not much inclined to ask counsel, apt to think out carefully his line of action and follow the deductions of his reasoning to their legitimate conclusions. He was married to Fannie Lathrop, of Augusta, Me. Two children of that marriage now survive, Mrs. Hattie E. Allen, of Machias, and Frank L.

In 1872 he moved to Parker’s Landing, the then booming oil country. He served one term as president of the oil exchange during its busiest time, and in the fall of 1878 moved to Titusville, Pa., to accept a position in the then forming Tide Water Pipe Company.

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 1837 and carried on the leather business. About 1 860 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, i86g; res. Littleton, N. H. 2717. i. JANE MOORE, b. July 28, 1825; m.

Charles White Rand, son of Hamlin Rand, a prominent business man of Grafton County, was born in Bath, July 5, 1819. 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 Hoil. 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 ]\I., daughter of the late Otis Batchelder, who survives him.

Shed. Nov. 15,1896. The Haverhill, 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 Kn owl ton, 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 Airs. G. W. Cilley, Norwich, Conn.; J. Warren Batchelder, Dorchester, Alass.; 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.

He went to Haverhill and recruited a company at his own expense for the First Massachusetts Cavalry, to which he had been assigned by the governor, John A. An¬ drew. He was commissioned as first lieutenant and adjutant, Oct. 31, 1861, in that regiment. When Gen. Robert Williams took command of the regiment he did him the honor to make him his adjutant. (Gen. Williams retired last year from the position 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 engagements. His business life has been quite active in the higher branches of railroading and lumber; president of Boston Chemical Company. Several years have been devoted to travel in this country and abroad. He went to Oklahoma 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 camp) and organized the best county in the territory. He is now trying to with¬ draw from business and public life that he may enjoy a peaceful and just existence. Res. Boston, Mass., and Ponca City, Okla. Terr. 2804. i. FERDINAND WINTHROP, b.

JOHN PICKERING BATCHELDER (Timothy, Simon, David, Simon, Stephen, Nathaniel, Nathaniel, Stephen), b. Deerfield, N. H., Jan. 18, 1835; m. at Allenstown March 24, 1858, Betsey B. Marden, 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 Allenstown. His father for many years kept the hotel in Deerfield, just over the Allenstown 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 Allenstown, 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 Allenstown, 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 Allenstown 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. Allenstown, N. H. 2822. i. JOHN BRADBURY, b.

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 boarding 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. 316 BATCHELDER GENEALOGY. 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- waj^ 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. Bartlfett, 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. Granger, and also a member of the Daughters of Liberty; res. at 70 Warren street. Concord, N. H. They have had two children, Arthur F., who died in his third year, and Edith Pearl, now a young miss of 10 summers. Mr. Batchelder is a quiet studious man, interested in questions of political and moral reform, edu¬ cation of the masses of the people, and a more equal and just distribution of wealth,. He is also interested in mechanics, science, history and theology res. Concord. N. H., 70 Warren street. 2861. i. ARTPIUR F., b. July 24, 1883; d. Dec. 25, 1885. 2862. ii. EDITH PEARL, b.

Batchelder, one of Mus¬ kegon County’s most successful farmers, and the owner and occupant of a finely 320 BATCHELDER GENEALOGY. 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 only seven months old he went to live with relatives in Malone, N. Y., who reared him as their own child. Until he was 17 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 Middleburg. 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 ad 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 in 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¬ tague, Mich. 2924. i. CORA, b.

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 BATCHEI.DER. 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, Ill. 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 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 tillers 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 i8go. His was the first box mill built south of Cairo, Ill. 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. 2940. 1. MARK D., b. Oct. 2, 1869; m. Mary Williams. 2941. ii. FLORENCE A., b.

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 1881, 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 served 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. 2943. i. SARAH ALZADA, b. Jan. ii, 1855: m. May 16, 1876, Benjamin Seabury.

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. Soon 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. Gulick, of Elmira, N. Y. Res. St. Paul, Minn. 2240.

NAHUM JOSIAH BACHELDER (William x\., Josiah, Josiah. Elisha, Josiah, Nathaniel, Nathaniel, Nathaniel Stephen), born Andover, N. II., Sept. 3, 1854; m. at New London, June 30, 1887, Mary A. Putney, b. Oct. ii, 1856. He was born on the old homestead on Taunton Hill, in the east part of 328 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 in which Kear- sage. Ragged, Monadnock, and Ossipee mountains are prominent features. The farm was settled and cleai'ed 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 Franklin 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 1891. 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 Qrange, and secretary of the New Hampshire Grange State Fair Association from its organization in 1886, with the exception of a single year, until January, i8g6, 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 this 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, except 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. 3034.. i. RUTH, b. May 22, 1891. 3035. ii. HENRY PUTNEY, b. March 17, 1895. 3036. iii. WM.

He was born in Sunapee, N. H., 46 years ago. but when four years of age went to Lisbon, Conn., with his parents, where he obtained his early BATCHELDER GENEALOGY. 3;35 education. He afterwards attended the Bryant & Stratton Business College at Hart¬ ford, from which he graduated in 1864. 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 i88g 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 3'ear 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 GEORGE E. E.\cHF,LDER. 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 Binghampton, N. Y., and Germania Fire of New York. Res. Norwich, Conn. 3126. i. • ALICE A. M., b. Aug. 14, 1871; d. Dec. 13, 187S. 3127. ii.

Dec. 15, 1864. In an BATCHELDER GENEALOGY. m 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, 1861, 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, Maiss., 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 sev^enteen 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 1S89 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 v;as 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, 1S96, 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. l\Irs. 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.

Canterbury, England ; ni. 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. Pie 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. Inalistheaded “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 in 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, ^iark, 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 ,1^15, 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. ^larch, 1647; res. Salem and Wenham, Mass. BATCKELLER GENEALOGY. SH 6. i. MARK, b. in Wenham; killed Dec. 19, 1675. 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 sev'ere 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 tor 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 destiny” 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 “Bachelor.” The inventory of his estate is on file in the Essex probate office at Salem, dated March 28, 1678. On the back of the inventory is a deed from executors of Samuel Porter. 7. ii. JOHN, bap. Jan. 20, 1638; m.Mary Dennis and Sarah Goodale. 8. iii. ELIZABETH, b.-; m.

April 4, 1686, in Ipswich. The town record reads, “Widdow Batcheldor dyed, 1686.” He settled in Ipswich in 1639. His farm was purchased May 14, 1696, by his nephew, Samuel Corning, of the admr. Nathaniel Treadwell and John Warner. 28 34 G 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, "th i2th. 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 by 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.” VIEWS IN IPSWICH, MASS. October, 1643.. ‘ ‘Henry Bacheller’ ’ was “of such as have forfeited, for not returning their Powder according to ann order of the Town.” 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 Choate b. there] Island. 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, 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 was 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 Pro’oate Court. In the list was John Batchelder ^^42 —2—3. The document mentions his brother John.

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 1628, 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 BATCHELLER GENEALOGY, 349 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.

He was Secretary of the Navy in 1831, and Secretary of the Treasury from 1834 to 1841.

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- ♦A descendant is Mrs. Ellen Starr Thompson, of 298 Pawtucket St., Lowell, Mass. 350 BATCHELLER GENEALOGY. 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 in 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. “Thomas Fisk, Foreman. “William Fisk. > “John Bachelor. “Thomas Fisk. “John Dane. “Joseph Evelith.

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, and his name is spelled Batchilour. In his will his only children mentioned were John and David Batchilour. Probated in East Cambridge, Mass. He d. March 3, 1676. Res.

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 1896, p. 282).

June 24, 1676, he was credited with £i — 12—lo for service in the company commanded by Capt. Thomas Wheeler.

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 pf 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. 376 BATCHELLER GENEALOGY. Dea.

Abraham 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 uhderbrush 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. BATCHELLER GENEALOGY. 379 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. Tnis 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 1782. Benj. Batcheller, adm. on the estate of Capt.

At the time of the Revolutionary' war they had been mar¬ ried but a short time. During 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 dayn 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 batUe. He was killed in the yard of Jason Russell, in Menotomy, now Arlington. In 1894 the Beverly Historical Society erected a votiv'e memorial stone over his grave. She d. s. p. Oct. 22, 1842. He was b.

BATCHELLER GENEALOGY, 391 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 suffered 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. Early 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 1829, 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 insia:nia 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. 308. i.

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 nati'm 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 betore reaching the common.

He was born in Reading, Mass., educated at the public schools and fitted for college.

Chase, in his history of Haverhill, refers to him as “a man of superior talents and attainments.” He owned his father’s homestead and also the Cordis farm, both of which were purchased by his father of Timothy Nichols. In 1777 Rev. Samuel Batchelder disposed of the homestead to Nathan Appleton and Oliver Wendall, of Boston, both men of wealth, who purchased it, it is said, as a place of safety and resort in case Boston should be destroyed by the British during the Revolutionary War.

John 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 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” says: 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, and 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. He d. thirty miles from Cin., Ohio. Res. Corinth and Bradford, Vt. 612. i. AMOS CHASE, b.

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 money. In the meantime he was carried into Martinico and thrust into a filthy 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 9, and in each assembly was placed on the most important 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 5mars 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 Aaron Hodges Sergeant & Joseph Grayransford, Absalom Getchell, Abraham Hollon, Thos. Hunstable, & Wm.

I also give to the sd.

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, 1853: 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 estaie, 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 FI. 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 eight hundred and forty eight.

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 1S21. 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, 1838; 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 observ'ed 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 d. Feb. 13, 1873. Res. Bristol, Me. 669. i. ANNA BURNAP, b.

July 16, 1791; d. in Wallingford, Vt., May 27, 1868. Lyman, son of Jacob Batcheller, was born in the mountain town of Stratton, Vermont, and married Anna Gale, of the same town. Soon after the birth of his first son, Isaae Gale, he moved to Arlington, Vt., where he set up a forge and began to work at his trade. His other children—Susan, John, Laura, Lyman Jr., and Justin—were born in Arlington. In 1835 he moved his family to Wallingford, Vt., purchased a small water power, and resumed his blacksmithing with the help of the older boys. In 1847 the first shop was burned, but a new stone shop was built and the firm of Batcheller & Sons was formed, consisting of Lyman Batcheller and his sons John C. BATCHELLER GENEALOGY. 427 ford, Vt.

Lyman was a member of the Baptist church, while his wife was an Episcopalian.

Sarah-; shed, 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 years; 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 greatly 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, 1824, 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 A.ssocia- 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 years 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 very 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 in the State legislature, holding the office of a justice of the peace, and serving in various municipal offices. He gave all his 746. 747 - 748. 4o0 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 ])racticed 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.

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. Res. Mt. Vernon, N. H. 432 BATCHELLER GENEALOGY. 7S0. i. 781. ii. 782. iii. 7S3. iv. 784. V. 78s. vi. GEORGE G., b.

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, giving 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. Her mother was 93 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. 8, 1897.] 829. viii.

He was a quiet, reserved man, good looking, five feet eight inches tall, well proportioned, black beard, gray-blue eyes, 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 his grandfather in Massachusetts, he was left some property.

JOSEPH SLEIGH BATCHELOR (Joseph, Amos, David, John, Joseph), b. Philadelphia, Pa., Sept. 6, 1788; m. in Steubenville, Ohio, 1812, Sarah Murray, b. Dec. ii. 1794; d. Jan. 23, 1852. Joseph Sleigh Batchelor was born in Philadelphia, Pa., Sept. 6, 1788. 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 quietSunday morningin 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¬ tice boys, hung a Jack-plane 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 later, 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 1812, 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- SERGT. JOSEPH S. BATCHELOR. 444 BATCHELLER GENEALOGY. class furniture for many years. His plan was to make up through the winter large quantities of goods and during the spring 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, O., 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 ottered, 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, 1S56. He d. June 23, 1856. Res. Steubenville, Ohio. 960. i.

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 aniong the delegates of the first delegated general con- ferance, 1812. 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.

It is said of him when only eleven years of age he opened a session of the district school with prayer. He early desired to be a minister, and in 1801, at the age of nearly twenty-one, was licensed to preach by the M. E. church, in session in Ashburnham, Mass. He served acceptably at various places—Sandwich, Salisbury, Hawke, Marblehead, Ipswich, Portland, Me. In 1810 he over exerted himself. He resided for some years after his mar¬ riage in Marblehead, studied still further for the ministry and rapidly advanced, also joined the Congregational demonination. He was called as pastor at New Bedford, where he remained for some time, finally locating, in 1816, in Oxford, Mass. He was esteemed bj' all classes and admired by all for his sympathetic dis¬ position and manner. He had a fine voice and often led in singing. In his manner he was simple and fervent, often speaking without notes, and in prayer was earnest and devout. In in his person he was about average size, attractive and social and abounded in pleasantry and anecdote; was elected town clerk for a year.

June 28, 1859. Charles Batcheller, the subject of this sketch, w.ns 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. Eive 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, 1882, 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 was 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. 997. i. LODOSKI, b. Sept. 5, 1827; m.

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 with 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 GENEALOGY. 449 historic state, their headquarters being the Wallace House, which was “Washington’s Headquarters in 1778-79.” Her home is in Millstone, N.

Moses 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 liis 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. 1003. i. MARY, b.

Later he was in the finishing depart¬ ment of the Elgin Watch Company. He was an expert at this trade and was one of the 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 rnany 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. 458. JONAS BATCHELOR (Abner, Abraham, David, John, Joseph), b.

He was b. in Sutton and learned the trade of manufacturing shoes in Graf¬ ton, Mass., for eight years he worked as journeyman for Oliver Ward in Brook¬ field. Of all the men who have been citizens of No. Brookfield since its incor¬ poration, no one has done so much to promote its material growth and prosperity as Dea. Tyler Batcheller*, and a history of the town without a sketch of his life would lack an essential element. He may be truly called the founder of North Brookfield. He lived with his father in Sutton until April, 1802, when the family ♦History of North Brookfield. 1014. i. 1015. ii. 1016. iii, 1017. iv. iot8. V. f BATCHELLER GENEALOGY. 4:)1 moved to Brookfiled, the Second Parish. His father purchased the property which lias since been known as the “Batcheller Place.” When in his 15th year he went to Grafton and learned the trade of shoemaker of Nathan Johnson. At the close of his apprenticeship there he returned to North 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 by 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¬ iness consisted of only such shoes as he could make with his own hands, soon, however, taking into his service one or two apprentices and hi.s brother Ezra. The first shoes he made were of a low priced quality, especially adapted to the southern trade. These he packed in empty flour barrels and consigned to Mr. Enoch Train, who in those days 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 Skerry 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 totally destroyed 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 year having taken into his em¬ ploy 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 bu.siness. Tyler attended to the i)urchase 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 factory. Harmonious in all their business relations and interests, as well as in all measures devised for the public weal, the act of one was the act of both. They were familiarly referred to as the Deacon and Ezra. They now added to their business the manufacture of Batchel- lers’ retail brogan, an article adapted to the New 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 1831 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 city in 1848. The business now amounted to $1,500,000 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 paying every dollar of their in¬ debtedness. The conseciuent worry, anxiety and disappointment at the sudden re¬ verse in his fortunes caused a serious illness from which Tyler did not recover. He passed away in his 69th year. Thus ended a life distinguished for industry, energy, perseverance, integrity and usefulness. Had his life been spared a few months longer he would have seen the cloud dispelled. He joined the First Con¬ gregational church in 1817 and in 1820 was elected deacon, which office he held for twenty-eight years, until he moved to Boston.

If less prominent before the public than his brother, he was equally with his brother an efficient and essential factor in the gfowth and .prosperity of the manufacturing establishment and the town. To his business tact and energy is largely due the prompt extrica¬ tion of the concern from their temporary embarrassment in 1861. He was a large-hearted, public-spirited man of earnest piety, and his memory is most fra¬ grant of good deeds and an honorable and useful life. He d. Nov. 27, 1870. Res.

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 Aloderator 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 Alajor 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.—Airs. Alargaret 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. .\ 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, liowever, wlio 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 living. 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, anbther 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 baffled 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. 1046. iii. JOHN, b.

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 I.ucy 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 ciack 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- 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 give 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 became 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 Flaverhill 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, iri 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 Flarvard 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. Many 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, iit 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 vi.gor. 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 Daily Advertiser and Boston Post, June 4, 1878. He was a tal¬ ented writer.

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.

About this time the shot was fired at Lexington heard round the world. He enlisted in tWe 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.

He entered Harvard College and graduated in the class of 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 in his native town, being employed in public affairs and in bus- 462 BATCHELLER GENEALOGY. iness connected with the settlement of estates and other kin¬ dred matters, with which he was often intrusted on account 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 strong 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 1122. iii. NANCY B., b. -, 1794; m. Dec. 21, 1817, Amos Parker, Jr. She d.

Dartmouth College 1821: practiced at Chichester and Wolfeborough; d. Wolfeborougb, May ii, 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 1827 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. EZENEZER, b. Oct. 14, 1792. DANIEL, b. -, 1788, m. Lucinda Cutting. MEHITABLE, b.

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 lor 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-si.x 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 .Kmerican 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 474 BATCHELLER GENEALOGY 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 lay 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.

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 Templeton. 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, 1876. Res. Templeton and Lynn, Mass., 50 Wall St. 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 re.gular 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 480 BATCHELLER GENEALOGY. 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—h^ was sent out against the Guerillas-j- and was always industrious and faithful, never shirking his 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. 1303. iii. GEORGE WELLINGTON, b. Dec. 20, 1838; unm.; d. Sept. 17, 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 for 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 Lynn. 1304. iv.

Y., where he lived until after his marriage, after which he bought a piece of land on what w'as 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 county, town of Ixonia; from there he moved to a farm in Winnebago Co., 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 Waukati, 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 way disturb any one who did. He d. May 6, 1880. Res. Galesville, Wis. 1361. i. IMOGENE, b.

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, be 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 w'orks, 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. Port Huron and Saginaw, Mich. 1371. i. HENRY A., b. Sept. 3, 1844; m.

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 public spirit. At first their wares went to Albany by team and down the Hudson river by sloop to New York. He was engaged in Ciis 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'.

Isaac 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 carne 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 iri 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 Presbyteriap 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.

His education was received at the district school before 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 of 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. 1379. i. OLIVER A., b.

Sewell Barney Batcheller was born in Rut¬ land, Jefferson County, New York, in the year 1815, and resided in that county 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 perforin. He was especially active and earnest in behalf of religion and temperance, and every good cause found in him a steadfast and will¬ ing helper. His life was terminated in the midst of his usefulness.

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 lie was appointed First Assistant Solicitor. During his term of duty in this position Mr. Ale.xander 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 a party 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 1384- ii- his connection with the Bardsley case, in which he acted as counsel for the derelict City Treasurer, whose case he handled with a fine 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.

He was b. in Grafton, educated at the public schools, and before attaining his majority went to Worcester where he was clerk in a dry goods store, later engaging in business on his own account. In 1850 he moved to Boston and entered the employ of Pierce Bros. & Co., in their whole¬ sale dry goods house. He was very fond of military matters and at one time was captain of the Boston Light Infantry and later commanded the Sixth Battalion of Rifles. When the Civil War broke out the four companies in this battalion formed the nucleus of the 13th Reg’t. Mass. Vols., which went into camp at Fort Inde¬ pendence, Boston Harbor. He was promoted from Major to Lieut. Col. and served in that position until the expiration of his term of service. He returned to Boston, engaged in business and died there. The 13th Reg’t. left the state July 30, 1861, it was engaged at Second Bull Run, Antietam and Fredericksburg in 1862, and at Fredericksburg and Antietam in 1863. The nucleus of this regiment, as- stated above, was the Fourth Battalion of Rifles, M. V. M., commanded by Major Batchelder. This was recruited to a full regiment while in camp at Fort Inde¬ pendence, and was ordered to Washington, July 30, 1861. It participated in the following battles: Second Bull Run, Antietam, Fredericksburg, Chancellorville, Gettysburg, Wilderness, Spottsylvaina, North Ann River, Love Harbor and Pet¬ ersburg. Lieut. Col.

When about 16 his eldest brother Albert, who had been for some time in Boston, sent for him to come to that cit3'. There he entered into the employ of his uncle Charles Foster, who kept a restaurant on Sudbury street. After the death of this uncle the firm dissolved 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 again en¬ gaged in the restaurant business, which was destroyed by the great fire of 1872, Three years later he engaged in the newspaper and periodical business in Chelsea, where he has since remained.

Joseph Bradford Batchelder. second son of Joseph and Anne (Cochran) Batchelder, was b. in \'ermont, passing his early years on his father’s farm in that state. Having a 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 v\ ife 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 growdng “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 homeless. He was from this time physically and mentally unfittecl for any active business. The property he had acquired had made him quite wealthy. Having lost his wife and 494 BATCHELLER GENEALOGY. three children he made his home in his latter years with his only surviving child, Mrs. J. B. Mulliken. He d. July 20, 1876. Res.

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., Ill., 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. Jas. M. Ashley in Toledo. From here he returned to Illinois, where he w'as 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 office 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 offered 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 offered 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 lie acceptably filled for three years, gaining the esteem 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 summer 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 his best judgment, the increase of salary being small compensation for the lack of edu¬ cational facilities. The next spring—May 1875—Mr. Mulliken 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¬ troit, Lansing & Northern, also the Chicago & West Michigan road and the St. Louis & Saginaw Valley, many branches and connecting lines being added to these under his management. On his retirement from this position many of the leading citi¬ zens, railroad and business men from various parts of the state united in giving him a grand reception, showing the good es¬ teem in which he was held He was also the recipient of valu¬ able presents, among them a large and costly “Grandfather’s” clock, with the names of the donors (all employes) engraven on the face or a plate: thus showing their friendship for him. This position he held till near the time of his death—nearly twenty years. Res. 91 Farnsworth St., Detroit, Mich. Ch: (i) Frank Granger, b. May 22, 1859; d.

For some time he was editor of the Anti-Universalist, a religious paper published in Providence, R. 1 . He was a devout Christian and very tenacious; was of the Orthodox faith. He was often engaged in controversy with the en¬ emies of Christianity in this country and in Europe. He was the author of sev¬ eral pamphlets in which with earnestness and ability he gave his religious views. He'spent most of his life in literary work in New York city, though he was for some time correspondent at Washington and editor of the family magazine of New York, later editor of the Evangelist, and lectured for some time.

He m. a Miss Up- ham here and has .'Vlbert, Marion and Elizabeth; a Baptist monthly has the following obituary of Mrs. Charlotte Bachellor Thomas: "Again the ranks of the veterans in our missionary service are broken. Mrs. Thomas died June 14, at the home of her son. Rev. Willis F. Thomas, . Insein. Burma, at the age of sixty-five years. Miss Charlotte Bachellor was a native of Bos¬ ton, and was married to Rev. Benjamin C. Thomas in 1850, sail¬ ing with him for Burma Oct. 15 of the same year, in the ship “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 Henzada, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas removecl 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 him pass from her two days later, worn beyond recovery by his se¬ vere and protracted labors in the jungles of Burma. For sev- •. '■■■ ' eral years Mrs. Thomas remained in this country caring for her 500 BATCHELLER GENEALOGY. son, hilt 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 eterna' 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 staf¥ 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 w'ho 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.” 1512. ii. SABINA THOMPSON, b.

He W'as one of the kindest of men; marrying when 40 years of age; he had only four children, one was a son who was killed in the Civil War. The father went south for the body and returned home with it. After this he was not quite the same man as before. He was. a man of veiy sympathetic nature and the cloud never fully passed away. While engaged in building, at the age of nearly 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 for use, but was burned to the ground and never occupied. He was a strictly tem¬ perate man in all things, and a thorough Christian; being of a long lived family BATCHELLER GENEALOGY. 501 he seldom was sick, and died as a sliock of corn, fully ripe for the harvest.

At the time of their marriage he was serving as a com¬ missioned officer 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 502 BATCHELLER GENEALOGY. for three or four years Except for a brief period subsequent to her marriage she continued ip business, most of the time in the marble front, ioi6 Chestnut St., Philadelphia, working for some of the vvealthiest 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 singer, frequently having engagements with prominent churches in Philadelphia for 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 YOKE. 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 BATCHELLER GENEALOGY. 503 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, e.xclaiming, “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 e.xchecpier. 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- LORD AND I.ADY FRANCIS HOPE. 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 504 BATCHELLER GENEALOGY. Miss Yolie'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. 853.

Finally he became proprietor, associating with Tohn B Doris of New York in his cele¬ brated traveling show. Finally prompted by increasing years, he left the road, though he now appears ten years young¬ er than he absolutely is, and is quite active and healthy. George H. Batchel¬ ler was the inventor or discoverer of the double somersault, the first one to prac¬ tice it, and he has never been equalled in it nor in any department of his specialty, which was leaping. His horse feat—he has also leaped over elephants and other animals—but the horse feat was his feature. The statement of his excellence is made on the authority of a man who has been in the show business forty years and understands all parts. Res. Providence, R. I , 6 Branch Ave. 1534. i. CARRIE W., b.

His boyhood characteristics were restlessness, energy and iinpiisitiveness, and a ))owerful inemoiy At the age of seven he was the best scholar in school and always at the head of his class. He finished his schooling when 10 years of age and went at once to work, learned the carpenter's trade and 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 clock in the first story through the ceiling, and various other things then and since, but never has taken out a patent. A few months after he was free, went from Philadelphia to Savannah. Georgia, by sea; came near getting wrecked off Hatteras, returned to Philadelphia, and the summer he was 21 went West; stopped three months in Indianapolis, went to Springfield, Ill., worked there till Christmas, then went to Beardstown, on Illinois river; stayed there till spring of 1858; then went to St. Louis and up the Missouri river to St. Stephens.

In the spring of 1861 he enlisted in the 14th Ill. 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 (luartermaster's department and appointed wagon master, having charge of 30 teamsters. His term of service exi)ired in Oct. 1862, 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 (piestion of license, and then renounced politics. Later he went to California, then to Pennsylvania; thence to Hot Springs and Fort Smith. Went tf) Waldren to superintend build¬ ing hotel, there met and married his wife: in spring went back to Kansas—to Kan¬ sas City', Kan. — engaged in building business, stayed till 1883; went to Missouri, and bought a farm of 120 acres seven miles from Springfield. Mo.: there he has lived 13 years and reared his children and has never had a doctor inside of his house. He never had plowed a furrow till he came to that place.

From cabin boy to captain he filled nearly every station on a steamboat, and he filled them with honor. He commanded a number of steamboats, but as the business declined in 1875 he took the Walnut Street House in Cincinnati, of which he was proprietor at the time of his death. 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 the Americus for the Pittsburgh and Nashville trade. In 1855, the Americus burned and he left the river to become the active vice president of the Eureka Insurance Company of Pittsburgh, and acted as the general agent in settling marine losses. In 1861 he was appointed by President Lincoln as Surveyor of the Port and United States Depository at Pittsburgh, where he remained until September, 1866, when he was removed by President Johnson because he would not become a Johnson man. During his connection with the latter office he disbursed over one hundred 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 Keystone Bank, and president of the Pittsburgh Petroleum Exchange.

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.

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.

He was also noted as a surgeon. He was three times married. His first wife was Phebe J. Tifft 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 office. 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 uni'ed 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 tp. 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 e.xcellent financier and invests his funds as skillfully as he mends a shattered limb. For jears Dr. Bugbee has patiently worked at his profession, and, when he shall have made his last prescription, his tombstone can well bare the inscription, ‘Here lies a man who has been useful to mankind.’ ”). 1627. vii.

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. Wm. 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: "In 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 afteinoon the enemy charged and drove us back, then we forced them back again. About 4 p. m. I stepped back to speak wdth 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 irom 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.” 1628. viii.

On the break¬ ing out of the Rebellion he entered the army, but being of a frail constitution he was made first assistant quartermaster general of the Department of the Cumber¬ land, where he remained until the close of the war. Returning north he found that the southern climate and the hardships of that life had wrecked his health, and after a few years he died as truly a victim of the war as though slain in battle.

Moses Leland Batch¬ eller was b. in Sutton, Mass., at Pleasant Falls, one mile west of Wilkinsonville, on the Blackstone river, and d. in Grafton. Mass. He was educated in the district 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 520 BATCHELLER GENEALOGY. the inaiiufacture of plumbago. In politics he was an ardent Jeffersonian 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 ot that state and sympathized with the cause, but took no active part with the leaders. He married Sarah Ann Phillips, of Grafton, Mass., dan. of Ebenezer Phillips (HI.) and gr. dan. of Ebenezer Phillips (II.) who took an active part in the Revolution¬ ary M’ar. and was in the battle of Bunker Hill Moses Leland Batcheller’s issue- consisted of: George Clinton Batcheller, Hiram Ward Batcheller.

He received his early educa'ion in the public schools of that place. .\t 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 sufficient 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. 1 . 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 )rt time and died, leaving one child. .A.f- 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 different 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- BATCHELLER GENEALOGY. -V21 admired all that was elevating and ennobling in character, he was ever sympathetic and lenient to those who were in fault. He was extremely fond of children and his family ties were very strong. He was always indulgent to his children, in whose memories he lives as an honest man and an ideal father. Pie d.

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 34 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 sbrrow 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- daff, 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 Dundaff, 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 25 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 lines 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¬ daff, 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 office. 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 in 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 dying in the City of Mexico in 1887, and the elder, Joseph C. Batchelor still living, and a resident of the City of Buffalo, N.

Ward Batchelor, youngest son of Leonard, was born in Abington, Pa., in 1850. He received his early education at Madison Academy, and graduated from Cor¬ nell University. He entered the ministry of the Presbyterian BATCHELLER GENEALOGY, 523 REV. LEONARD BATCHELOR. 524 BATCHELLER GENEALOGY. church soon after leaving college, preaching at Bristol, III, 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 liis 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 left 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. 1698. iv.

Benjamin L. Batcheller, was son of Lewis and Sophia and was born 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 offices 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.

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. Sunday 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, 1869. Res. Mason, N. H. 1761. i. JOHN, b. March 23, 1818; m. Martha Swift Keene. 1762. li.

May ii, 1846, Me- hitable Catherine Hollowell, b. Jan. 3, 1819; d. Dec. 15, 1893; dau. of Samuel Hoh- 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. Pie 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 five 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 “P'ree 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.

He served an apprenticeship to the machinist and blacksmith trade and when quite a young man he went to Louisiana and took a position as engineer on the Pontchartrain R. R. and remained in that vicuiity 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 ])roperty 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 ii, 1883.

LEMUEL JEFFERSON BACHELOR (Bazil, Lemuel, Samue’, John, 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 Bluffton, 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 Jeffersonian 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 th'at enterprise finally resulted in the construction of the Toledo, St. Louis & Kansas City railroad.

After he was married he commenced as a farmer and followed that a few years: then went into a hotel and ran that a few years; then into the mercantile business. He owned and kept a general store, groceries, boots and shoes and clothing: this he ran for a few years, then he went on the farm and remained until 1882, when he was employed by the American Sewing 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 he traded his little eighty-acre farm for the eleven acres that he now lives on just outside the city limits. Res. Kalamazoo, Mich. 1951. i. EDGAR D., b.

Francis Lowell Batchelder died in Hibernia, Fleming’s Island, 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 always afforded an agreeable relaxation to the routine of datilv toil. He married and had a son and daughter. He d. Feb. 9, 1858.

Oct. 12, 1811, 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 many 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 Survey, 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 reply: “I have been recently studying cosmic and synthetic philosophy, and looking back, not to final causes exactly where we run plump against the w'all, but at any rate some way back, for previous causes and modes of action. Now. I w'ant to know who began, wdio laid out the work, and acted as boss in the case you describe. From an e-x-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 effervesce: 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 Peirce 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 Henrj', 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 yo.i inform me whether such observations have been made? Enclosed is a sheet showing results of observations in my well fat Cambridge, near Agassiz Museum) during the years 1868, 1869, 1870, and part of 1871; also a rough sketch of the position of 542 BATCHELLER GENEALOGY. 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 experiment.'^ 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 BATCHELLER GENEALOGY. 543 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 Society of Portland, Maine.

Brooks Trull Batcheller son of Joseph and Hannah (Trull) Batcheller, was born in Billerica (Middlesex Co.), Mass. Joseph 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.

July 25, 1837; m. Oct. 8, i860, Catherine Phillips Cook, dan. of Genl. Jos. N. Cook, b. Jan. i, 18.39. 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 Septeijiber 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 Le.gion After the war he was Inspector General of the State from i86,s 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. Shcrifian on their first visit to this state after the war. In 1875 he was appointed by President Grant the repre- sentatne of the United States on the International Tribunal of Egypt ,and in 1883 / 548 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 2ist 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. Ratcheller was zealously 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 dignity. In Nov. i8go 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 e.xcur- 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 Win. McKinley as President of the United States. Gen. Batcheller was a delegate to the Postal Congress, which assembled in Washington recentlv. 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 American 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 family. 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 bj^ the khedive on the recommendation of the great powers. There are several tribunals of original jurisidiction, and a court of appeal at Alexandria. Gen. Batcheller 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 Vermont Ave., Washington, D.

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.’" 1376.

He was the only son of Samuel and Charlotte De Golia Batcheller. When 16 years of age he entered Fort Edward Collegiate Institute, taking the college preparatory course, and continued his studies for three years. In 1859 he entered Harvard Col¬ lege and was graduated from the law school in 1863. He was admitted to the bar, in New York city, and there practiced his profession with conspicuous success for more than twenty years. A fine address added to keen intellect and unusual judg¬ ment pre-eminently fitted him for his chosen work. He was married Oct. 5, 1870, to Josephine M. Clements of Fort Edward, N. Y.

Batcheller, U. S. N.. which occurred at Tyron, N. C.. will be particularly felt in Boston, says the Herald, where he had many friends, and where he had been on duty on different occasions. Indeed. Boston may be called 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 his spurs by an act of heroism on board the Vincennes This act of heroism was the volunteer returning to the Vincennes (from the Richmond) to withdraw the slow match in the powder magazine and save the ship. He was promoted for gal¬ lant conduct on board the Mississippi in the attack on Port Hudson, where, under 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 COMMODORE OLIVER AMBROSE BATCHELLER. 551 bb'l BATCHELLER GENEALOGY. 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 officers 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 inspector 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, ofifering 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. Tvron, N.

Batcheller was born at Batchellerville, Saratoga Co., N. Y. He received his education at the district school'of that place. During the winter of 1879 he 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 indefinitely. Res. Grogan, Minn. 2061. i. R.\LPH ALBERT, b. Aug. 22, 1892. 1385. EARL S.

Stanbridge, P. Q., Aug. 20, 1849; m. Montreal, Dec. 24, 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 and 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 winter 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 BATCHELLER GENEALOGY. village of Bedford (now town of Bedford, including this old homestead). He remained on the farm until 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 successhil and practical farmers in the county of Missisquoi. At the age of 2i 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 office. 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. 2144. i. EDWIN ALVIN, b. July 2, 1880. 2145. ii. GEORGE, b.

ALBERT STILLMAN BATCHELLOR (Stillman, Isaac, Nehemiah, Nehemiah, David, John, Joseph), b. Bethlehem, N. H., April 22, 1850; m. in Weaver, Minn., Aug. 5, 1880, Harriet Anna Copeland, b. Aug. 5, 1855, dau. of Allen A. To no man m 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 lawyers 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 Federal courts, he reported and secured the passage of a joint resolution which provided means for completing this department of the library. From 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 lie 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 inember of its committee on legislation, which, in i8qi, 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 1 ^^91. chap. 7, was drawn and its passage successfully urged result of this law has enlarged the resources and efficiency 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 i«9i. which provided for the erection of a State library building and Supreme Court room separate from the State House. This building is now com- HON. ALBERT STILLMAN BATCHELLOR. .MiO BATCHELLER GENEALOGY. .561 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 ofTered 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 Mf- 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, i8go, 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 Cla'-s of 1868, N. H. Conference Seminary. 1885;” “Edward Dean Rand,’’ memorial address before G. & C.

Another old pioneer passed away yesterday afternoon. Isaac H. Batchellor died at his late residence. No. 1337 Corona St., Denver Co., from the effects 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 j-ears, 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 off 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 thrust upon him rather than sought for. Of late years he has led a secluded existence within his own circle of acquaintances, and had the good-wil! of all who knew him. Res. Denver, Col., 1337 Corona St. 1648. REV. CHARLES WESLEY BATCHELLER (Wesley. Elijah, Eli¬ jah, Nehemiah, David, John, Joseph), b. Aug. 25, 1824; m. Alvira Q. Searles, b. -, d.-; m. 2nd, June 9, 1861, Anna Cummins, b. March 3, 1829, d. Nov. 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 with 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., Ill.; 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 $S 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 daugliter (liis first love). With inexpressible sorrow he said good-by—parted BATCHELLER GENEALOGY. 663 with the one for whom he would have given his life, .^fter having preached eight years in Rock River Conference he entered and worked his way in the Garrett Biblical Institute, Evanston, Ill. 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.

The comjiany broke up at Salt Lake City, and he went alone across the desert south of the lake without a guide or compass, or road. The Salt Lake valley is 700 miles across. He struck in on the Humboldt before reaching the sink, and struck the trail. The first panful of dirt washed out he secured $3 in fine gold. In the spring he came home and staid two weeks. He got up a canvas hose four feet in diameter, and one six in diameter, the first that was used in California.

David Batcheller was born in Freedom Township, on Indian Creek, Sept. 5, 1842. He was the son of John and Sarah (Holden) Batcheller. who came to this county a few years prior to David’s birth. The family moved to Ottawa in the 40’s, where David attended school. He was a clerk in John Stout’s store, and also in Bean & Morgan’s and Harry Clark’s stores before the war broke out. On Oct. 16, 1862, he enlisted in BATCHELLER GENEALOGY. 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 i8, 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¬ keeper and accountant. He was a member of the various Masonic orders, and was secretary of each for a number of years, and was an honored member. He was Past Commander of Streator G. A. R. Post, and had held other positions of honor. He was a member of the A. O. U. W. at the time of his death. He was an ardent Republican, and his methodical and systematic abilities made him a valuable elec¬ tion officer. Mr. Batcheller was married in Ottawa to Benjamina Baker of Colum¬ bus, O., Feb.

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 six 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 i8St 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 successfullv for three years. In 1889 he was 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 01 BATCHELLER GENEALOGY. oGti the most approved methods of the day. All studies have been carefully systemized 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 has 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. Res. Buffalo, N. Y., 494 Ashland Ave. 2175. i. PAULINE NAOMI, b. July 15, 1888; d. May 17, 1890. 2176. ii. DELMER ELLIOTT, b. May 18, 1891. 2177. iii.

Grafton, Mass., Sept. 27, 1834; m. in Boston, Mass., 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 which 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 (jlove-Fitting Corsets. Two years later Mr. Thomson, the London partner, retired. Mr. Langdon took the management of the financial affairs of the firm; while Mr. 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. Bateheller, 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 soeial 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 • .,Yo' BATCHELLER GENEALOGY. 567 Seventy-sixth street, and life member of the New England Society, charter member of the Order of the Founders and Patriots of America and Sons of the American Revolution. He was formerly an active member of the Masonic order, haying taken the Royal Arch degree. Also a member of the Patria Club of New York City. Also a member of the American Institute of Civics. He is a fancier of fine horses, owning several valuable animals. He is also a lover of art. In his collec¬ tions are the rare and valuable portraits of Gen. George Washington and Martha, his wife, taken at Mount Vernon in 1796 by Sharpless, the London artist. He is 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, and served as sergeant in Captain Luke Drury’s company, fighting at the battle of Bunker Hill under the immediate command of Gen. Warren.

March 13, 1883. Hiram Ward Batcheller, born in Burrillville, Smithfield Co., R. L, Jan. 25, 1841. Educated in the district school of Grafton, Mass. ^ At the breaking out of the Civil War, at the age of 20 years, Aug. 5, 1861, he enlisted in the 21st Massachusetts Regiment for three years. The Regiment left for the seat of war Aug., 1861, and went into camp at Annapolis, Md., joining the ist Brigade, 2d Divdsion of the pth 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, Goldsboro, Kingston, W’hitehall, Little Washington, Manas¬ sas Junction, Rappahannock, Second Bull Run, Chantilly. South Mountain, Antietam, Mine Run, Fredericksburgh, Chancellorsville, Culpepper, Warrenton, Knoxville, Wilderness (five days). Spottsylvania (four days). North Anna River and Cold Harbor. .After 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 originallv 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 officer. 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, 1862, when the command of General Burnside was sent in as a reinforcement, and it landed at Aqua Creek so as to take part in the battles at second Bull Run, South Mountain, Chantilly, Antietam and Fredericksburgh At Falmouth it remained on picket duty through the months of December and January, and broke camp with¬ out regret Feb. 9, 1863, reaching Paris, Ky., April i. where the State Fair grounds furnished the men a resting place of four days, when they proceeded twenty-two miles to Mount Sterling, where it remained three months, vindicating the charac- BATCHELLER GENEALOGY. ter and title to respect of Massachusetts troops at the hands of Western men. In July they were at Lexington, and afterwards at Camp Nelson, and started for East Tennessee Sept. 12, marching one hundred and eighty-five miles to Knoxville. 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 fifty-one miles to reach that point. From this time to the end of the year their service was severe, and their conduct heroic. Thev 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, being one night picket and the next in the rifle-pits: and the 24th of November, ni •M.CJOK niKAM WARD I) ATLII KI.I.EK. company with another picked regiment, they made one of the most brilliant charges of the siege, driving the enemy from the houses, the fences, and the rifle- pits in the neighborhood, and keeping up the work constantly till the siege was 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 duty, 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, and marching by the battle-fields of Bull Run and Bristow’s Station, to the Rapi- BATCHELLER GENEALOGY 669 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 Spottsylvania, 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. (s. p.) Binghampton and New York City, N. Y. W1LI,1.\M HAMn,T(JN U.VTCl lEI.I.EU. 1678.

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 alter a little the wolves set up their howl, but did not faze him, like the red-skins; and he finally escaped. Res.

Houston Co., Minnesota, May 29, 1858. When he was 7 years of age his fatlier bought a farm near Cedar Falls, lovva, 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 Hills, and J. J. Brown of Council Bluffs, Iowa, who had a contract to grade one hundred miles of the road, engaged Mr. Batcheller to take charge of the general supply store then located at Neleigh, Nebraska. Later Mr. BATCHELLER GENEALOGY. 57 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 1881, 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. 2186. i. BYRON BELMONT, b. Aug. i. 1887. 2187. ii.

Joseph Chase Batchelor was born in 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 postoffice, 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. 2191. i. MARY L. b. Aug. i, 1871; res. B. 2192. ii. JESSIE HANNAH, b.

He was left without a father at the 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.

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 BATCHELLER GENEALOGY o79 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 confidence 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: Herrick, deceased, and John. Res. Reading, Mass. 2311. i. WALTER ALDEN, b. Sept. 16, 1864: d.

He jour¬ neyed on horseback through a dense for¬ est to a clearing known as Summit. He at once went into trade with the Indians, and achieved success. Returning to Bos¬ ton, he studied for and adopted the pro¬ fession of dentistry. He was for a time a student of Doctor Morton, the dis¬ coverer of ether as an anaesthetic. He has been practicing his profession for fifty-five years, fifty years in Salem, Essex Co., Mass. In politics a Republican.

He is a great-grandson of Benjamin Pierce, who was killed at the battle of Lexington, April 19, 1775. He married at Summit, Wisconsin Territory, Jane Reed Smith, a daughter of Elisha and Mary Butler (Bass) Smith of Boston, Mass. His wife is a descendant of Rev. Thomas Smith of Pembroke, Mass.

His grandfather. DR. JOH.X HENRY B.^TCHELDEK. 2319. 2320. 2321. 2322. BATCHELLER GENEALOGY. 5»1 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 Stuart, Robert Ward, Charles Stuart, Henry, Philip Holyoke, and Edward Holyoke Os¬ good.—(From Men of Progress, Massachu¬ setts; Boston, New Eng¬ land Magazine, 1896.)

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 conveyancing. 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 of 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 organized 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¬ ties for Genealogical Research in the Registries of Probate in 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 accessible the ancient records, files, papers, and documents, whether state, county, or munici¬ pal. The printing of the early volumes of Suffolk 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 were 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. 588 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 will 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 1883, 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. 2324. vi. JENNIE PEARMAIN, b. Nov. 7, 1854; d.

Philbrick was superintendent of the Boston schools for many years. .Alfred was a fair BATCHELLER GENEALOGY. scholar, good in mathematics, but not brilliant. He tried work in a country store at one time. Mr. Ezra B. Tebbetts, his wife’s father, was killed in Boston by an icicle falling upon him. Alfred soon married and lived in his wife’s family after¬ wards, with the small exception of a year or so in business in Chicago. He did very well as salesman in commission houses in Boston, choosing the leather trade. In the last six years of his life he was interested in tanning, or preparing skins for the trade, which brought some money to his income beyond his selling commis¬ sions. He was fond of mental games, whist and chess being favorites. He ranked high as a chess player. Was genial in manner and had hosts of friends. He d. May 5, 1872. Res. Lynn, Mass. 2331. i.

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 Hampshire. 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 Ashtielot 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.” by William T. Davis, Vol. 4. Pub., D. H. Hurd & Co.. Boston, 1897.) Res.

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 Rev. E. Curtiss, to Esther Elizabeth Adams, eldest child of loshua Adams and Abagilt (Erost) 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 Bacheller & 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. loshua 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 Ered Elmer Bacheller. who died aged six months, 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 Eloyd 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 187.S, 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 7880 he was taken with -a severe attack of typhoid pnuemonia. from which he never fully recovered. In July 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 h2,d been tele¬ graphed for, eould 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 W’ilton he was a delegate to the congressional convention that nominated James G. Blaine for Congress the first time that he r.nn for that position.

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 his stay there he attended the public schools of 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.

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 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 county, 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 ro La Crosse he entered the fire department of that city as sece- tarv, and was also captain of Truck 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 wa.s 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 chairman of the Democratic County Committee of La Crosse Co., which position he held for three years. On Nov. 2, 1893.

M., Sept. 17, 1892, Minnie Moore, b. March 3, 1865. The subject of this sketch was born 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 office, 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 i88i; seven months later he was promoted to station agent at 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, under 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, which 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.
