FOREWORD

THE genealogy of Littleton was compiled by GEORGE C. FURBER in 1896 and printed in 1897-8.
A fire destroyed the work in 1898 and made necessary a reprint,
which was prepared under the supervision of EZRA S. STEARNS.
The extent of the errata is chiefly due to incorrect material furnished by individuals concerning their ancestry.

Batchelder Genealogy, by Fred C. Pierce, 1898. BATCHELLER. BATCHELLOR. 1. Joseph BATCHELLER came to this country from Canterbury, Eng., in 1636, with his w. Elizabeth, one child, and three servants, and settled in that part of Salem now known as Wenham, in Essex Co., Mass. His bro. Henry and family and his bro. John accompanied him. The records of the Huguenot parish of Canterbury, recently published, preserve significant evidence that Joseph Batcheller by descent and kinship was closely identified with the Huguenot people. His ch. were: (1) Mark, slain by the Indians, Dec. 15, 1675; (2) John; (3) Elizabeth, m. James Davis; (4) Hannah, b. 1644, m. John Mariner, April, 1665; (5) Joseph, bap. Aug. 22, 1647, d. 1699. Joseph, the first ancestor in this country, was one of the original members of the church in Wenham, organized Oct. 8, 1644. He was the first representative of Wenham in the Gen. Court, in 1644 (2 N.H. Hist. Soc., 215). In respect to the date of the death of Joseph Batelleller, the histories of Grafton and Sutton are in error. The church record seems to establish that his decease occurred as is stated in the following extract: In the record of a case of church discipline, under date of 11 of the 8 mo., 1647, occurs this passage (p. 84, Wenham Church Records): "In ye mesne space it pleased God to take to himself our brother Batchel, a man wise, moderate, and very able to be helpful in such cases." Says another authority: "He was a prominent and useful man in the plantation" (Hist. of Wenham, pp. 28, 29). He d. in Wenham, March, 1647 (0.S.). 2. JOHN BATCHELLER, son of Joseph(1), b. in Wenham, Mass, m. first, July 12, 1661, Marah Dennis, d. June 26, 1665, m. second, May 4, 1666, Sarah Goodale, d. March 22, 1729. He d. Dec. 17, 1698. 3. DAVID BATCHELLOR, son of John(2), b. in Wenham, Mass, m. Susannah Whipple. He was Town Clerk of Wenham, 1744-5-6-7. With him came the change in the orthography of the surname. It had been Batcheller, with an e in the last syllable, but afterwards it was Batchellor, the e becoming o by the peculiar way a was written at that time, thus o o. So the name Lee appeared to be Loo. Batcheller became Batchellor. (Hist. of Sutton, Mass.; Hist. of Wenham, p. 103.) 4. NEHEMIAH BATCHELLOR, son of David(3), b. in Wenham, Mass., May 20, 1716, m.
