next blow inflicted in the vicinity of Hampton was of great severity.

(IN) Jonathan Philbrook, son of Josiah and Olive ( Philbrook) Batchelder, was born February 9. 1806, in Deerfield, where he grew up. He was one of a family of thirteen children, and was early compelled to contribute to his own support. After receiving a very meager educational training in the common schools he was apprenticed to the cooper's trade and became an expert. After attaining man- hood he engaged in the manufacture of barrels and mackerel kits in Deerfield. In his day every- thing was made by hand, and it was the industry and perseverance of the individual which created his success and prosperity. Mr. Batchelder enjoyed must robust health and lived to the age of eighty- six years, dying August 25, 1803. at the home of his son in Concord. For forty years before completing his eighty-sixth year he had not spent a day in bed. He was an extremely temperate man, and never used liquor of tobacco, and was never known to ut- ter a vulear or profane word. After living a short time in Lowell he removed to Concord, New Hamp- shire and for thirty-eight years was employed by the railroad, as a switchman and, in his older and less active days, as a watchman. During the last ten years of his life he resided with his son, who is the subject of the succeeding paragraph. Mr. Patchelder was a member of the Advent Church of Concord, and lived a most exemplary and quiet life. Formerly a Whig. he became an enthusiastic supporter of the Republican party upon the organ- ization of that body, but never desired any public station for himself. He was married about 1833.

beth ( Dix) Wheeler (sce Wheeler. VI). Mary E. ( Worthen ) Batchelder died in 1885. She was the mother of eight children. The eldest, Clara Ann, died in infancy. Freeman Dix, the second, died June 21, 1906, at Santa Monica, California. Mary O. died unmarried in 1864. Frank J. is the sub- ject of the next paragraph. Charles F. resides in Concord. Clara E., wife of H. L. Hall, lives in Somerville, Massachusetts. Henry C. is a citizen of Providence, Rhode Island, and Lydia A. is the wife of Edward G. Cane, of Cambridge, Massa- chusetts.

( X) Frank Jefferson, second son of Jonathan P. and Mary E. (Worthen) Batchelder, was born March 26, 1841, in Lowell. Massachusetts, and was educated in the public schools of Concord up to the age of twelve years. His education, however, did not stop there, as he has always been a reader and a close observer of men and events, and is among the well informed citizens of Concord, where all of his life has been passed. In January, 1853, he was apprenticed to learn the printer's trade to Cyrus Barton, who was then publisher of the State Capital Reporter, and he was a most faithful student of his calling and became an expert printer. By saving his earnings he was enabled to spend two terms at New Hampton Academy, and this time was employed to the best possible advantage, because he realized the need and value of educa- tional training. Returning to Concord he entered the Patriot office, where he continued five years as a compositor, and then entered the employ of Morrill & Silsby and became a job printer. He was subsequently engaged for twelve years as fore- man of the Monitor printing office, and in 1872 es- tablished a job printing plant of his own in part- nership with Frank D. Woodbury. His first office was over the National Capital State Bank and he was subsequently in the First National Bank build- ing. In 1882 the partnership was dissolved, Mr. Batchelder continuing his business. Since 1887 his plant has been established on Warren street. In that year he purchased the block adjoining the bank building, and subsequently became manager of two other blocks in that street, in one of which the printing office is now located. In March. 1903. he celebrated the fiftieth anniversary of his appren- ticeship as a printer by building and caring for more fires than those in his charge on the first day of his apprenticeship. At that time he was required to keep going three wood fires in the printing office where he was employed, and it is easy to conjecture that during the winter months he spent more time in feeding fuel to the flames than in learning the art preservative. Mr. Batehelder is still in vigorous health, and is a most genial man and pleasant com- panion. He is an attendant of the First Baptist Church of Concord He has given little time to public affairs but has endeavored to perform the duty of a good citizen and has served the city as a member of the City Council four years, during two years ( 1887-8) of which time he was president of the Council. For eight years he was a trustee of Bl ssom Hill cemetery and from 1887 to 1908, he served as commissioner of cemeteries, and gave much time to the service of the community without compensation. He was married May 13, 1865, to Annie M. Bullock, who was born December 3, 1844. in Concord, daughter of Gilbert and Mary M. (Hoyt) Bullock, the former a native of Grafton and the latter of Concord. She was a daughter of James and Nancy ( Abbott) Hoyt of Horse Hill. Concord. Gilbert Bullock was for thirty-eight years a merchant in Concord and died June 4, 1880,

at the age of seventy-three years. He was a man of noble character, highly regarded by the people of Concord. His wife passed away February 9, 1900, aged eighty-one years. Mr. and Mrs. Batch- elder lost a daughter, born June 9, 1868, who lived only three months. They have a son, Frank Gil- bert, born May 13, 1866, who succeeded his father in the printing business. He married Lena Rob- erts, a native of Holyoke, Massachusetts, and has one son, Clarence, born July 9, 1895.

(IV) Benjamin, third son and eighth child of Nathaniel (2) and Deborah (Smith) Batchelder, was born September 19, 1073, in Hampton, and died January 12, 1718, at Hampton Falls, where he was farmer. He served with his brother, Stephen, in many of the campaigns against the Indians about Hampton. Often he was a soldier, and at other times a scout or messenger. He suffered many hardships and braved numerous dangers at Oyster River, Exeter, Hampton, and at Fort William and Mary. He was probably a member of Daniel Til- ton's garrison in Hampton. In 1707 he was in the company of Lieutenant Joseph Swett, in the ex- pedition against Port Royal. He married, Decem- ber 25, 1696, Susanna Page, born December 20, 1674, daughter of Deacon Francis Page. She mar- ried (second ), January 13, 1730, John Cram. born April 6, 1665.

There are several families of

BATCHELDER this name in America not al- lied as far as any records now attainable would indicate. The family of which this article treats is known as the "Massachusetts Batchellers." The spelling found in early records has been changed by most of the present descend- ants.

(I) The first of whom any record is now found was Daniel Batcheller, who lived and died near Canterbury, England. He had four sons: Joseph, Henry, Joshua and John. The last two of these settled in America.

( II) John Bachelor was born in England, 1610, and came to America in 1636, and settled at Salem, Massachusetts, where he was made a freeman, No- vember 13, 1640. Soon after he was admitted an inhabitant at Salem, he was granted twenty acres of land, to which was subsequently added sixty acres. He was admitted to the church, June 23. . 1639. His will was dated ninth month, 1673, and disposes of considerable tracts of land with orchard and buildings and the inventory of huis estate footed two hundred and thirty pounds and six pence. His first wife's name was Mary and his second wife was Elizabeth Herrick, daughter of Joseph Herrick (see Herrick, II). He died September 13, 1675. His children were: John (died young), Joseph, Anna, Mary, Abigail, Hannah and John.

(III) John (2), youngest son of John (1) Bachelor, was born June 23, 1650, in Salem, Massa- chusetts, and died in Beverly, same colony, August 6, 1684. He was a cooper by trade, and resided in that part of Salem which was set off as the town of Beverly.
