Re: John True Batchelder (Bachelder)

susandpurington01 — 2013-06-09 21:35:33Z

I have a John True, b. abt. 1799 and there were a lot of Batchelders around. I was just looking at a genealogy of Richard Currier in the Ancestry catalog and came accross a Daniel Currier, son of Hannah (Batchelder) Currier in Deerfield, NH. He married a Meribah Tilton whose mother was Sarah (True) Tilton. My John True above was born and lived in Epping, NH. I tend to find people using the mother's maiden name as part of the child'a name. My guess is that your John True Batchelder may have been related to these people in some way.

Hi,

It's five years later but who knows...I've dealt with the northern MA towns and earlier on part of Haverhill became part of New Hampshire when the boundaries shifted. There are very good MA records through Massachusetts GenWeb Project, go to Middlesex County and you can find most MA town records through 1849. Again probably too far back for your request but who knows what might come up.

Ryan D. Wood who did Batchelder research

copet1 — 2013-02-19 04:18:29Z

Many years ago, Ryan D. Wood who apparently has done lots of research on the Batchelder family came forward advising me that he had information on my ancestor, Nancy Batchelder, who married Rev. C.B. Waller. She was born April 26, 1814 in Leroy, Genesee Co., NY.

I have been able to locate Ryan, but unfortunately he's had some life changes that make it next to impossible for him to access this data any longer.

Has anyone worked with him or know anyone that is familiar with his work. I desperately want to find Nancy's ancestry.

Thank you for your help.

Batchelder of Holliston MA, Woodbury NJ

ashburton13 — 2013-01-18 23:26:45Z

Old letter written September 25, 1842 by Mary Batchelder in Holliston, Massachusetts and sent to her brother, the Rev Frederick Batchelder in Woodbury, New Jersey.

Addressed to Mr. Frederick L. Batchelder, Woodbury, New Jersey

Holliston
September 25, 1842

Dear Brother,

Your truly welcome letter came to hand last evening. It was rather unexpected as I had begun to look for you home. We have just received letters from Otis and of the half dozen that came to Holliston, one was for you. We did not open it until after the receipt of yours and have concluded not to send it to you now, nor at all, unless you request it. I will repeat the most important parts of it and all that you would wish to know in order to answer it.

First, your letter of November was received in good season. The box that G. sent arrived the second week in March. The watches were doing well and were likely to prove of service. He feared you had robbed yourself by sending yours. The books were very acceptable and were read with interest. They read one weekly and 2 monthly periodicals published in India. Mrs. Philips has added a daughter to the mission circle. (These letters were dated the latter part of April.)

The weather had been so hot for 3 weeks that the furniture had a hot feel and they had begin to close their doors and windows to keep the hot air out. The weather so far was much hotter than the season before. They were able to converse freely in Oriya and he hoped to be able to preach without great difficulty. The alphabet alone was troublesome. [They] were enjoying perfect health and were getting along well in their work.

In conclusion, he says, "And now dear brother, what say? Shall we ever be privileged with a meeting on the plains of India? Your letters and Mary's have excited some hope and we wait with anxiety for the decision (and what did I say? Why just this -- How can we spare Frederick to go to the Santals, and beside, is there not a work for him to do in the broad West?) You might find congregations in Balasore daily in 4 different languages, Oriya, Hindee, Hindustani, Bengalu, and the Santals within 10 miles!!

You feel like "a stranger in a strange land." If you feel thus, when no farther off than New Jersey, how can you think of going to Greece, or any other foreign land? Or is it when contrasting your present situate with that of Newton that you feel thus alone?

Your plants are doing as well as can be expected in this rude clime. I shall not forget your Hydrangia when November comes. Benjamin has paid your tailor's bill. I fear you will need your shirts if you stay away much longer unless the good ladies give you some. Mother says you must not run about and get sick through carelessness, for you would have none but strangers to take care of you and I would repeat it. Also, look out for danger in the shape of steam, fire, water, and everything else where there can be any danger.

G. is at home and tells me to say that he is going to manufacturing shoes for the present, though I guess, and not without reason, that he thinks of teaching school within 30 miles, next winter. He can have two or three, but may alter his mind.

Monday 26. I saw Eveline last evening. She sends her love. George says there is a letter for you in the Post Office. He is going to take it out and keep it till you write him what to do with it. It was mailed at Providence. He says it came two or three weeks ago. So you have turned pedagogue for a little while. Well, I hope you will succeed until you find a place to preach to suit you. G. says when you write, you must tell us about your school. If you should happen to get among slavery, be careful.

If you happen to get a little money, take care and do not let the thieves get it for they will rob a minister as quick as any other person. The Methodists have been to camp meeting and got waked up and talk of having a revival. The Lord grant it. To this end, I hope you will remember us in your prayers. J. Bussell is going to move to Concord, New Hampshire. The day is fixed a week from tomorrow. I intend to resume my studies in a few days if nothing take place to prevent, and if you stay out 'thereabouts,' perhaps I shall come out and stop within a half mile's ride, i.e. forty or fifty miles.

We are all in good health as usual. Lucretia appears reconciled altogether to Catherine's death. I could scribble on and find something more to tell you but the mail will soon be along. You see I have written hastily. Therefore, excuse all mistakes. I close by requesting an interest in your prayers.

Write again soon. Yours in love,
Mary

Re: Greenleaf Batchelder

mywatercolors — 2013-01-17 05:36:12Z

Abner Greenleaf could have been a relative to Betsy Brown Marden (b. Dec. 2, 1834). She had a son with John Pickering Batchelder (b.Jan 18, 1835; m. Mar. 24, 1858) named Walter Greenleaf Batchelder who was born Sept. 25, 1867. So far this is the only person with Greenleaf I've found.

Re: Deborah Batchelor/Batchelder b1766NH/MA

mywatercolors — 2013-01-17 05:29:53Z

I have a Eliza Blaisdell d. Apr. 2, 1867 who m. Timothy Batchelder b. Mar. 14, 1804; d. Apr. 16, 1851.

Also found:
1) Deborah Batchelder b. 1592; m. John Wing in 1610
2) Deborah Bachelder who m. Daniel Holt

Not sure if this helps at all, but thought it was intereting.

Henry Batchelder married Charlestown, NH 1822

Batchelder3 — 2013-01-11 14:14:03Z

I'm trying to find out where this Henry came from!
There is a record from Fort #4 (NH) of the marriage of Henry B Batchelder to Betsy E Bignall (b. 1805) of Acworth on February 10, 1822. I do not know where he came from, nor where he went. They have a son, Thomas Benjamin, in 1822. Henry is recorded in the 1830 US Census in Charlestown, NH, and Betsy remarries a Thomas Cummings in 1842. A Henry Batchelder is reported dead in Amoskeag (NH) in a 1839 newspaper.

I am particularly curious about where Henry came from. One family legend suggests Connecticut. If he is the one who died in 1839, the newspaper asks that "family in Vermont" be notified.

Norbert R. Batchelder of Seattle, WA 1944

Re: Looking for Batchelder ancestry

susandpurington01 — 2012-09-29 20:24:44Z

It's been a little over four years, I hope you're still involved. I'm kind of sure (maybe?) that a Meribah Batchelder b. 1733 (Joseph, Benjamin, Nathaniel, Nathaniel, Stephen) married my fourth great grandfather, George Purington, who was also from Hampton Falls, NH. I find no marriage for her (or any other records, actually). He was a Quaker but m. out of the faith "by a priest". He later was able to return to the faith and he and his wife, Meribah (b. 1733), were both said to be quakers at their deaths in Epping, New Hampshire. I found this Meribah by doing a search for only the first name and there is a pretty good circumstantial case. Also, being Quaker, their records are not very available, which would explain why I can't find any. I would love it if you could find any connections. Thanks for anything you can do, Sue P.

Lois R. Batchelder, b. ca. 1806, VT

KathyHudson89 — 2012-07-02 20:16:04Z

Lois Batchelder (Batcheller, Bachellor) married Prosper Bowe in Lyme, Jefferson county, NY in 1825. Prosper Bowe had lived in Lyme with his parents since at least 1820, but it is unknown how long Lois lived there because the names of her parents are not known. Lois and Prosper had at least eight children, all born in Lyme:

Parthenia Maria, b. 1826, Frances A., b. 1828, Lucinda M., b. 1830, Lois Ann (my ancestor), b. 29 Oct 1832, Oliver Paul, b. 1834, Addison A., b. 1836, Mary E., b. 1841 and William H., b. 1843.

Most of the family left Lyme in 1855 and relocated in Lyndon, Sheboygan, Wisconsin. Lois died in 1859 and is buried in Waldo, Sheboygan, WI.

The few facts known about Lois come from the 1850 census, the only one in which she appeared by name, and a couple death records of her children which confirm her maiden name but reveal nothing else. Any clues about her parents and/or where she was born will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Looking for information in regards to the two people here. Unsure of the spelling of the last name of Tressie (also, Tressia). Nathaniel was born and died in Troy, ME. Tressie, I believe, was born in St. John, NB, CAN, and died in Troy. Nathaniel (1847-1914), Tressie (1847-1872). I have an old photo of the couple and looking to get more information on the two of them, as well as looking to trace back further. Any leads would be appreciated.

Hi,
I'm looking for information on the children of Warren Lloyd Batchelder and Ethel Irene (Gould) Davis. I know everything about Warren except for these children. I know that there are 7 total, the first being Meredith Elaine (born 2/15/1947 in Pittsfield, Maine) and after that there was born a son, daughter, 3 sons, and another daughter. Most, if not all, are probably still alive today. I'm just looking primarily for the names.

Meribah Batchelder (Joseph, Benjamin, Nathaniel, Nathaniel, Stephen)

susandpurington01 — 2011-06-25 03:50:45Z

Trying to find info on this Meribah Batchelder b. 7 Dec 1733. Born same town (Hampton, NH) in right year for my George Purington(Purinton, Puddington, Purrington) who m. a Meribah ??? about 1750. I've found no other m. for her, would like to rule her in or out if possble.

He was b. Quaker, m. outside the faith by a minister but was excepted (allowed to return) about twenty-five years later. He and his wife both died Quakers (he died 1807, she died 1817) in Epping, NH.

It's my understanding that the Batchelders were never Quakers but Meribah could have converted when her husband was excepted.

I would really appreciate any info anyone has about the life of this Meribah.
