THE WING FAMILY OF AMERICA
A History and Genealogical
Record of the Family of Reverend John and Foborah Ang
By George W. Wing
(Taken from the 1946 issue
of ANNALS, magazine of the
Wing Family of America)
The Rev. Stepehn Bechiler, B. 1.
Much has been written of the remarkable career of Stephen Bachiler.
He was one of the strong, stormy characters of the New Ingland colonies, and
he loft a posterity among whom are numbered Daniel Wabster, John Greenleaf
Whittier, Caleb Cushine, Villiam B. Fessenden, and others of note. Those of
his descendants bearing his name are the posterity of his son "athaniel, while
the old New England families of -ing, Sanborn and Hussey are descended from
his three daughters, Deborah, Ann and Theodate (Theodota).
Burerous familios of Bachilors lived in Harmshire County, England,
and the parentare of tephen has never been definitely settled. lie was born

Mes Slais 3. Jine, of Holyoke, Massachusetts, visited Wherwell in
1908, in quest of information concerning Deborah Bachuoer, writes:
"The village consists mostly of one street, and little, old thatched
houses. It is not a large place, as the one store proves, but a more pic-
turesque snot could hardly be found. The River last in beautiful and the
place nestles among the lov hills. The vicar livos at the "Priory," which

Judge Batcholder here takes up the story of his ancestor's life:
"Few men at 79 years of age, would undertake to start a now settle-
ment in the wilderness, especially after 33 years of conflict, but such was
the determined nature of Stephen Bachiler. no better spot could have been
chosen than the -ite of Hampton, New Hampshire, comprising, as it did, both
fertile farm land and wide stretches of salt and fresh Readoys. Bachilor had
visited it before September, 163S, and in that month had potitioned the
General Court for leave to bagin a plantation there. On October 9, 1638.
writing to Governor Anthrop, and asking him and Mr. Bradstreet to accompany
the little band of settlers, he says: We were there and viewed it cursorily
and we found a reasonable meat place, which we shill show you. Bachiler's
fellow petitionars and settlers were mostly from the counties of Hampshire
and Wiltshire, arong them one or to of his old parishioners in England, but
there were some from orfolk and Suffolk.
"June 7. 1639, Minnicunnet was made a town, and in the fall the
name was changed to Hampton, at the request of Bachiler, and in honor of the
city of Southhampton, then commonly called Hampson with which the Bachilor
family was associated. Stephen Machiler was this the founder and father of
"ampton, the third settlement in New Sampshire, and for years the principal
town in the esilory. 0 received a ment or 300 GCTUS from the tam. save a

Dear Dr. Handlin:
It has been brought to my attention that you have recruited more than 250
Indian boys and girls for summer jobs since 1968 and expect to enroll 150
more this summer. I wish to commend you for your unselfish contributions
of time and effort as a retired private citizen to find employment for these
disadvantaged young people.
Your success in advising young Navajos, Pueblos, and Mescalero Apaches of
job opportunities with the National Park Service, Department of the Interior,
has strengthened the tribal bonds of friendship with the Federal Government.
By housing some recruits in your own home you have promoted closer ties be-
tween the Indians and the community.
Also highly commendable are your contributions to the Park Service's Indian
Pilot Program which has helped some summer employees go on to permament
positions with the Park Service.
Thank you for these continuing public service achievements that are of far-
reaching benefit to our Nation.
Sincerely yours,
Richard M. Nixon

unwilling to have 90 troublesome an opponent within their bourvie, and, in 1644
the Court ordered the Exeter people, on account of thoir divisions and con-
tentions to defer gathering in church. Winthrop adds that "Nr. Bachiler had
been in three places before, and through his means, as was supposed, the
churches fell into such divisions that no peace could be until he was removed."
B,chiler, who had doclined the call to Caseo and propared to sottle in Exeter,
remained in Hampton, the troubles growing more bitter. Hampton had paid him
no calary, and he patitioned the General Court for sorte allowance, but they
refused to step in, leaving him to sue through the Vistrict Court. July 15,
1844. Winthrop says, "The contentions in Hanoton were grown to A. great height,
the whole town was divided into two factions, one with Mr. Bachiler, their
late pastor, and the other with "r. Dalton, their teacher, both men very
passionate and wanting discretion and moderation."
Just before this time, Bachiler's troubles increased; his wife died,
and his house and library, "to the vallen of £200," were burned. Disheartened,
he sold his land in Haroton and moved to Portemouth, where he became a private
resident, though still preaching occasionally. He hired a "cood noighbor" as
his housekaeper, and in 1608, at 83 years of age, he married hor. The match
proved most disastrous; in 1650 she use convicted of adultory with one Rocors,
and sentenced to be publicly whipped and branded with the letter "M."
Bachilor sued for divorce, but was rat with the atracious order that he "and
his wife shall live torother 25 man and wife, AS in this Corte they have pro-
fessed to dor and if olther desert the other the marshall shall apprehend
both and bring then to Conton, to in hept un+31 the next Corto." The only OX-
planation of this order is the determination to inke impossible Dechiler's re-
maining in the anonchusetts Colony: the attennt vas successful. About 1654
accompanied by hi- mendobild and godson, Stophen Sanhourne, Cachilor left the
New world, fronwhishich ha had haned 20 much, to and his days quietly in ingland
where Crowell and the Puritans held sway. His last act vas to convey his
American estato to his son-in-lav, Jussey. 'April 8, 1673, Michard Colcord, of
Hampton, age? 5, and 1. Fifield, of Landton, tostify that when P. Dachilor
of Hannton, V3S upon his vovage to inzland they did hear Xr. Machiler say unto
his son-in-law Ir. Clr. Mesoy that in Conn'n the coid Jussey had little or
nothing from Mo with his daughter which vas than married to the said Hussey
& his wife had boon helpful unto him both formarly % in fitting him for his
voyago & for other considerations, be did pive to the said Hussey all his estate
consisting in Cattell, household moods & debts, for which he aforesaid give he
also gave a deed in writing & delivered a copy thereof to the said Bussey."
In 1654, Bachiler's children and grandchildren were well established
in England, and tradition says he spent his last days in peace and comfort near
London. 111 s worthless wife, in 1656, spread a baseless report that he "took
to himself another wife," but 28 this 10 the only cource from which the
story comes, UO vay woll believe it false. The last record of this long and
stormy career in contained in the following: 'The ancient Stepehen Bechilor
of Hampton died at Heekney, a village and parish in iddlesex, 2 miles from
London, in 1560, in the 100th year of his age.
The nare of the first wife and mother of the children of the
Rev. Stephen Bachilor is not known. Re married & second wife, Helen, who was
born in 1003, and who accountied .r. bachilor to America and died here in 1542.
About 1648, 10. Pachiler, Loon in his 67th year, carried 2 third viso named Mary.
Freesan, in his "History of Cape Cod," says: 'Of .r. Retcheler such

of years was singularly pregnant with incidents of trial. *hese were not
chiefly the result of ejectment for nonconformity. Hr. Cachilers greatest
trials were quite another source: and it is surprising how far-reaching were
early attempts to frame excuses for harassing with penalties and pursuing
with vindictiveness those who fell under "enspicion." It is equally notable
how ready are some at the present day to eatch the strain and labor to
justify the detraction even by doubtful traditional circumstances."
Judro Charles do Secholder wrote in New England Historical and
Genealogical Register: "Whoover considers that Bachiler's life was wasted
because neither riches or temporal honors were obtained by him, knows little
of the manner in which reforms are accouplished. One thing for which he
bitterly contanded in universally conceried, and people wonder that it was ever
disputed. The reparation of church end state in recognized as univestionably
right by all his opnonente, and his firm stand in behalf of the liberty of
New Hampsoire loses nothing because it was unsuccessful. Success would have
left doubt in his firmnoss in standing out when the consequences were certain
to be his practical destruction and utter ruin. We know now that he had that
firmness which rendered him utterly regardless of conseauances to himself
when conscious that his motives and judgment were right."
Governor Winthrop classed V. Bachiler among "honest men." Prince
in his "Annals of New England,' says: 'Fron Governor Ainslow and Captain
Johnson, we learn that he (Stephen Lacailer) was an ancient ministor in
England: had been a man of Fo a in his Day: was 71 years of age when he care
over: bro' 3 member of people with him and soon because the 1st Foader of
the Flock of Christ At Lynn (haurus), and by several lotters I have seen of
his own writing to the ... hr. Cotton of coston, I find he was a genaleman of
Learning and Ingenuity, and worte & fine and curious hand."
In 2 historical address delivered upon the 250 anniversary of the
settlement of Sandwich, the Rev. N. H. Chamboriain said of Ar. Unchilor:
"The Rev. Stephen Bechilor, nt the are of heventy six, travelled
the whole distance from Junn to Yarmouth, MOTO than & hundred miles, at an
inclement season of the year, on foot, a veary, restloss spirit, ever
liable to Puritan wrath and ever ready with a raturn blow."
The author of a biography of John Greenleaf Whittier says of Mr. B:
"The tradition is that ir. Bachiler was & man of romarkable personal
presenes, and was particularly noticeable on account of his wonderful eyes:
they wore dark and deep-set, under broad erches, and could threw lightning
glances upon occasion. For moro than a century the "Bachiler eye" has been
proverbial, and in Sesex County, hassachusetts, the striking feature has
been stawdily maintained. The resemblance between Whittier and Paniel
Webster was long 080 observed by those who vero unavare of any relationship.
Though unlike in many respects, there appeared to be a marked similarity
in their broad and massive brows, swarthy complexions, and expressive eyes.
The characteristios of the eyes were the look of inscrutable dopth, the
power of shooting out sudden gleams, and the power of tender and loving
expression as well. It is known that not only Whittier, Wobstor, but " Pitt
Pessenton, Calob Cushing, William B. Green and other prominent men inherited
their fine fortures, ponotrating eyes and gravity of manner from the care

The children of the Reverend Stephen Bachiler
Nathaniel Bachiler born in 1590 The oldest son married Hester Mercer, a
nieco of the Rev. John Priaulx, arch-descon of Sarum.
He lived in Holland, and it is believed that it was his son Mathaniel, a
grandson of Stephen Bachiler who came to New Hampshire and became the
ancestors of the Bachiler Bachelder atchelder families of this line in
New England.
Deborah Bachilor born in 1592 She married the Reverend John Wing and came
with her sons and her father to America in 1632.
Stephen Bachiler born in 1594 The second son, matriculated at Magdalen
College, Oxford in 1610. He was a merchant in London

years of age, and having & lusty comely woman to his wife, did solicit the
chastity of his neighbor's wife, who acquainted her husband therewith;
wheroupon he vas dealt with, but denied it, as her had told the woman he
would do, and compalined to the magistrates against the woman and her hus-
band for slandaring him. The church likevise dealing with him, he stiffly
denied it, let noon after, when the Lord's supper was to be administered,
he did voluntarily confess the attempt, and that he did intent to have de-
filed her if 5'39 would have consented. The church, being noved with his
free confession and tears, silently forwave him, and communicated with him;
but after, finling how scandalous it vas, they took advice of other slders,

Hampton - is a compact little village, astir with the same activity it
has pursued under its lofty elms since the 17th century. Hampton was an
outpost of the Massachusetts Bay Colony, which maintained a block-house
here in 1635 against the memerous Indian attacks, and it became one of
New Hampshire's four original towns and the mothor of many of the supround-
ing little towns. A grant of the lend was given to a group of Englishmen
led by the Reverend Stonhen Bachiler who in 1638 sailed in shallops up
the Winnicumet River "thru" salt sea marshes to uplands brown." In 1638
the territory was purchased from the Indian sachen /ohanowmowit by
sottlers in Exotor. These picnoers, with thoughtr turning homeward to
England, promptly changed the lovely Indian name of Winnicument (Ind.:
"Beautiful Place in the Pinos") to Harpton at the incorporation of the
town in 1639.
Harmton Falls - delightful village dignified by austore white churches,
forevor aloof in spirit from the street of traffic rushing by its Coor.
Originally a part of Campton, the town was incorporated as a separate
township in 1726. One of the homes here is Simfield (open by pormission
of the owner) on the highway (R), with three huge white obdmneys, has the
same furnishings as in its early days. Dating back to the early part
of the 19th century, the old house was built and is still owned by the
Gove family.
X Horo John Cononicar Littler made his headquarters during the suppror
months and here in 1592 he died in the 100m overlooking the rose gardon.
All this section in Whittier land. the poot took great pride in the fact
that he was n limal desceiviant of the Reverent Stenhon Cachilor, founder
of Hampton, and showed a lively interest in the home of his aneastors.

believe we are all indebted to my fathor's mother for a large portion of

the little sense which belong to us. Her name was Susanna bachelder; she was
the descendant of a clorgyman and a voman of uncormon strength of under-
standing. If I had had many boys I should have called one of them Bacheldor."

MEMORANDUM FOR:
Dr. Jean Spencer
SUBJECT: John Nixon
Carol Brenson in the Vice President's office has asked me to
send you this note. Not having seen the letter in question, I
am going by what Carel told me over the phone.
In the President's background, according to our very limited
information, these are two John Nixons who could have been
living in the year 1863 (see attached sheets under #32 and #16).
The John Nixon, who is the son of William Wilson Nixon, does
have among his brothers and sisters a Mary and a Samantha.
But this is the extent of the information which at all seems to
fit and is very little on which to establish the identity of the
letter writer.
