HISTORY OF NORTHWOOD.
In writing the biography of Gen. Henry Dearborn, I suppose you will not forget to state the courtesies rendered by Peter Livias, the Tory councilor at Quebec, when Dearborn was made prisoner, and by Livias's influence was paroled and sent home, under the injunction to forward his wife and children to him from Portsmouth to Quebec. All this was done very promptly by Capt. Dearborn in 1776.
Truly yours, &c.,
GEO. W. NESMITH.

FAMILY SKETCHES.
++ -
BARTLETT FAMILY.
THE history of the Bartlett family, so far as it can be accurately traced, commences with Adam de Barttelot, who came from Normandy and was a distinguished officer under William the Conqueror. He fought in the battle of Hastings, and rendered such important service in that and other battles, that after the conquest he was rewarded for his services with a large landed estate in Stopham, Sussex County, Eng. This estate is situate on the River Aran, and has descended from father to son, with large additions, for over eight hundred years, until it now consists of be- tween seven and eight thousand acres, owned by the present representative of the family, Col. Walter B. Bartlett, who resides thereon, and who is an officer in the English army and member of Parliament. In the stone floor of the old Norman church built by the family early in the thirteenth century, are marble slabs with inlaid tablets of brass. upon which has been inscribed the family record, from John Bartlett, who died in 1428, down to that of the venerable Col. George Bartlett, father of Walter B., above mentioned, who died November 28, 1872, aged eighty-four years, and who was an officer under Wellington through the whole Peninsular war. By such inscriptions, as well as charts of pedigree now in the possession of the family, an accurate record of the line has been kept from 1066 down to the present time.
The Bartletts of this country are mostly the descendants of John and Richard Bartlett, brothers, who were of the Stopham family, and emigrated to America in 1634-35 and settled in Newbury, Mass., and of Robert Bartlett, the

HISTORY OF NORTHWOOD.
BATCHELDER FAMILY.
Rev. Stephen Bachiler arrived at Boston Thursday, the fifth day of June, having spent eighty-eight days in the passage. The ship was " William and Francis," commanded by Capt. Thomas, sailing from London, March 9, 1632. Mr. Bachiler was, at this time, seventy-one years old. He at once repaired to Lynn, where Theodate, his daugh- ter, the wife of Christopher Hussey, was then residing. There accompanied Mr. Bachiler, six members of his church in England, whom he organized into a church, with such others as desired to fraternize with them, June 8, and bap- tized four children, among whom were Thomas Newhall, said to be the first white child born in Lynn, and Stephen Hussey, his grandchild. Some four months after this, he was ordered by the court in Boston to suspend his minis- terial labors, except to the people he brought with him, "for contempt of authority, and till some scandals be re- moved." This injunction was removed by the court on the fourth of March. But, difficulties again arising, he and the first members of his church were dismissed, and Mr. Bachiler removed to Ipswich, whence, troubles arising, he removed to Yarmouth, and thence to Newbury, where, July 6, 1638, the town made him a grant of land, and, Scptem- ber 6, the General Court granted him permission to settle a town at Hampton, to which he and Christopher Hussey repaired, and where a church was soon gathered, of which Mr. Bachiler became pastor. The town of Hampton granted him three hundred acres of land, and he presented the town with a bell for their meeting-house.
In 1650, Mr. Bachiler married his third wife, himself, at the time, being ninety years old. The same year, the court in Boston ordered that, in consequence of a matrimo- nial difficulty, " Mr. Bachiler and his wife shall live to- gether as man and wife, as in this Court they have publicly professed to do; and if either desert one another, then hereby the Court doth order that the marshal shall appre-
627

hend both the said Mr. Bachiler and Mary, his wife, and bring them forthwith to Boston."
In 1656, his wife petitioned the court for a divorce, say- ing, that " Mr. Bachiler, upon some pretended ends of his own, hath transported himself to Old England, and betaken himself to another wife." At this time, he was in the ninety-sixth year of his age.
Mr. Bachiler died at Hackney, near London, in 1660. in the one hundredth year of his age.
Mr. Bachiler had four sons and three daughters; one of the latter, Theodate, as has been said, became the wife of Christopher Hussey, and came to this country before her father, and ultimately settled in Hampton. Deborah mar- ried John Wing of Lynn, and removed to Sandwich, while the third daughter became the wife of a Mr. Sanborn. Francis and Stephen remained in London. Henry went to Reading, and Nathaniel settled in Hampton, where, in 1656, he married Deborah Smith, by whom he had nine children, and, October 31, 1676, he married Widow Mary Wyman of Woburn, by whom he had eight children. He died Janu- ary 2, 1710, aged eighty. His son, Samuel, born January 10, 1681, married Elizabeth Davis of Newbury, Mass .. in 1706, and they had twelve children, one of whom was Sam- uel, born August 1, 1713, and died March, 1797. This Samuel, son of Samuel Batchelder and Elizabeth Davis, was the father of the Batchelders who settled early in Northwood.
