| Notes |
- BIRTH: No birth/chr rec found. His age was 70 yrs on 23 Jun 1631 when he applied for a "license to pass beyond the sea" (Q.R. Miscell, 560-22, cited in Henry F. Waters, "Genealogical Gleanings in England," NEHGR,45[1891]:237 [FHL #974 B2ne]). He was given the age of 71 in 1632 and 76 in 1638 in the journal of John Winthrop, THE HISTORY OF NEW ENGLAND, ed James Savage, 2 vols. (Boston, 1825), 1:78, 260 (FHL #974 H2w). Stephen was probably a native of Hampshire, where he spent much of his life and where the surname is common.
MAR #1: No mar rec found. However, children were born to this wife before Stephen's mar to wife #2. She was probably a close relative to Rev. John Bate, Bachiler's successor as vicar of Wherwell, Hants. In 1614 Stephen Bachiler of Wherwell, his son Stephen, and James Bate of Wherwell, clerk, and others were accused of libelling George Wighley. During the hearing, John Bate called Stephen Bachiler, Jr, his cousin, a term frequently used for nephew as well as cousin (Star Chamber proceedings, James I 297/25, cited in Robert Charles Anderson, THE GREAT MIGRATION BEGINS, 3 vols. [Boston, 1995], 1:63-64 [FHL #974 W2a]). Further evidence that Stephen's first wife was a sister of Rev. John Bate is found in Court of Requests, REQ2/678/64, dated 2 Nov 1639, in which John Bate of Holland, son of Rev. John Bate, became indebted to Samuel Bachiler, a son of Stephen Bachiler, who was also living in Holland (cited in SANBORN SIGNATURES, 4[1988]:10-11 [FHL #929.27305 Sa51s]).
MAR #2: Abbots Ann, Hants par reg (FHL #1041195). Also see mar lic, 25 Feb 1623, calling Stephen Bachiler a minister of Barton Stacey and his bride Christian Weare, widow, of Andover (Arthur J. Willis, comp, HAMPSHIRE MARRIAGE LICENSES, 1607-1640 [London, 1960], 39 [FHL #942.27 K29wi]).
MAR #3: Abbots Ann par reg. The wife is called widow Helena Mason.
MAR #4: No mar rec found. Stephen Bachiler was apparently a widower living in Portsmouth, NH on 3 May 1647, when he wrote to John Winthrop that the plantation of Strawberry Bank (Portsmouth) assigned a widow to care for his family (COLLECTIONS OF THE MASSACHUSETTS HISTORICAL SOCIETY, 4th ser, 37[1865]:109 [FHL #974 B4m]). Stephen was married to Mary, possibly the widow mentioned above, by 9 Apr 1650, when the court ordered the couple to resume living together (RECORDS AND FILES OF THE QUARTERLY COURTS OF ESSEX COUNTY, 9 vols. [Salem, MA, 1911-75], 1:191 [FHL #974.45 P2e]). But this mar must have occurred in 1647 or 1648 because Mary Bachiler was granted a town lot on 14 Feb 1648 by the town of Kittery (YORK DEEDS, 18 vols. [Portland, ME, 1887-1910], 1:1:5 [FHL #974.195 R2m]). Mary was apparently the widow of Robert Beedle of Kittery. On 20 May 1641 Beedle was granted the identical lot in Kittery granted to Mary Bachiler in 1648 (Ibid, 1:2:11). Stephen Bachiler left his fourth wife in New England when he returned to England. She petitioned for divorce on 14 Oct 1656, stating that her husband had gone to England (Nathaniel B. Shurtleff, ed, RECORDS OF THE GOVERNOR AND COMPANY OF THE MASSACHUSETTS BAY, 5 vols. [Boston, 1853-54], 3:418 [FHL #974 N2s]). Mary had a dau Mary born abt 1650 who claimed to be a dau of Stephen Bachiler on 26 Mar 1673, when she was granted adm of his estate in New England (PROBATE RECORDS OF THE PROVINCE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE, 9 vols., repr of New Hampshire State Papers Series, vols. 31-39 [Bowie, MD, 1989-90], 1:141 [FHL #974.2 P2p]). However, it is known that Mary, Stephen's wife, cohabited with George Rogers of Kittery and produced a child about 1651. On 16 Oct 1651 George Rogers and Mary Bachiler, wife of Stephen Bachiler, were presented for adultery and sentenced to be whipped, Mary's sentence was to be carried out after her delivery, at which time she was also to be branded with the letter "A" (PROVINCE AND COURT RECORDS OF MAINE, 6 vols. [Portland, ME, 1928-75], 1:164, 170 [FHL #974.1 P2p]). Given the fact that Mary delivered a child of George Rogers in 1651/2 and that Stephen Bachiler and his wife were not living together in 1650, it appears more likely that Mary is a dau of George Rogers.
BUR: Par reg of All Hallows Staining, London (FHL #560020). "Steeven Batchiller minster that dyed att Robert Barbers."
