Preface.
We wish to acknowledge the valuable aid in the compiling of these "family registers," as well as other contributions to this history, which we have received from the papers of John H. Goodrich, Esq. No other family in town is so rich in old records and papers pertaining to the early history of Lyndeborough as the Goodrich family. To these papers we have had free access.
In our desire and search for dates of births, deaths and mar- riages, we have been received with unvarying patience, kind- ness and courtesy by the people of the town. Doubtless we have been something of a " bore " at times, but almost every one seemed willing to help the cause along.
The Cram family registers were obtained through the enter- prise of Mr. Luther Cram. They were revised by Rev. Mr. Donovan. All we had to do with them was to copy the papers and change their form to correspond with that adopted for this history.
Many of the families of the early settlers have been extinct in town for fifty or more years, and in many instances it was only after much correspondence with town clerks and postmasters that we were able to get any trace of their descendants. Some- times we were able to secure a good record, in other cases a very imperfect one.
Some families now living in town depend on memory for all dates, or, in other words, they carry their family record in their heads. Sometimes the dates in the family Bible do not agree with those in the town records. In such cases the family Bible has been assumed to be correct.
Some of the family registers have been revised and rewritten a number of times. Changes had to be made each year in the progress of the work. Under such circumstances the writer is willing to confess that he expects errors will be found.
Nothing in the foregoing, however, is to be construed as an apology. Where one has done the best he could, apologies are not in order.
Some have expended time and pains in helping the writer to secure good records of their own and other families. To all such we extend our heartfelt thanks.

BACHELDER.
Capt. Nathaniel Bachelder was a Revolutionary soldier and was the first settler on the land since known as the Paige Spalding place, north of the mountain. But little is known of his family record. He had one son, Ward C. Bachelder, who was choked to death by a piece of meat he was trying to eat. This happened at Merrimack in March, 1795. He had gone there to bring the household goods of some one moving to Lyndeborough. The town records contain nothing about the family of Nathaniel. He was buried in the Whittemore burial place, North Lynde- borough. The headstone has been broken by vandal hands into small fragments, but by piecing them together it was learned that he was born in 1721 and died in 1784. Evidence tends to show that Joseph Bachelder, who had a large family of children born in Lyndeborough, was a brother of Capt. Nathaniel.

BADGER.
But little can be found of the record of the Badger family. The story of John Badger, the early settler of Salem-Canada, is pretty fully told in a preceding chapter. His son David was the first settler on the land now owned by James H. Karr, and Badger Pond received its name from him. He was a deacon in the Congregational church. Stephen Badger, his son, transferred his property to the town and made his home at the town farm, where he died. Robert Badger was the first settler on the farm now owned by Harry J. Richardson. The family has been extinct in town for some years, but they are to be noted as the first settlers on the land north of the pond. The two brothers settled here as early as 1760.
