HISTORY OF NORTHWOOD.


John came to Northwood March 25, 1763, with his broth- er Increase, and settled on land occupied by Gilman Batch- elder ; Increase, on land belonging to Francis J. Hanson ; Abraham, at a later date, settled on land belonging to Dan- iel S. Edgerly ; and Samuel, where Hon. Robert Morrison resides.


The descendants of this somewhat eccentric man are very numerous in New Hampshire and Massachusetts, where they are highly respectable in character, and occupy honorable positions, both in society and the churchi, though none of them spell their names after the manner of the founder of their race. Among these descendants of Rev. Stephen Bachiler may be found, it is said, the Hon. Daniel Webster, whose grandfather, Ebenezer Webster, was born at Hampton, October 10, 1715, and married, July 20, 1738, Susanna Bachiler, a descendant of the Rev. Stephen Bach- iler, through his eldest son, Nathaniel, who lived in Hamp- ton.


Prince, the chronicler of New England, says of Mr. Bachiler : " He was an ancient minister in England, had been a man of fame in his day, brought a number of his people with him, and soon became the first feeder of the flock of Christ in Lynn. By several original letters which I have seen of his own writing, to the Rev. Mr. Cotton of Boston, I find he was a gentleman of learning and ingenu- ity, and wrote a fine and curious hand."


The Bachelders who first settled in Northwood are be- lieved to have descended from Rev. Stephen Bachiler, through his son Nathaniel, who settled in Hampton, the spelling of the name being gradually changed from Bach- iler to Bachelder and Batchelder.


The materials for the following have been gathered by Mr. Hollis Edgerly, a great-grandson of the first Abraham Batchelder who settled in Northwood.


The first four original Batchelder settlers were John, In- crease, Abraham, and Samuel.
