• Notes

  John BATCHELDER was born in 1611 in Canterbury, Kent, England. Stearns and Pierce say it was 1610. Pierce mentions another source that sites his birthplace as Cognesmouth, Wales, but he does not explain why he apparently believes this birthplace to be inferior. He was 63 in May 1673 when he singed his will. He emigrated in 1636 to Salem, Massachusetts Bay Colony. He sailed from Sandwich. He received grant of 20 acres land in 1639 in Salem, Massachusetts Bay Colony. He became a member on 23 Jun 1639 in Salem, Massachusetts Bay Colony. He took the oath of a freeman on 13 May 1640 in Salem, Massachusetts Bay Colony. Pierce says it was 13 Nov 1640. He granted 20 acres after 13 Nov 1640 in Salem, Massachusetts Bay Colony. He signed a will on 17 May 1673 in Salem, Essex, MA. Bequeathed to his wife his house and all movable estate, and then onto son John after her death, less 20 acres which he bequeathed to John Cressy (husband of daughter Mary). He also gives his grandchild John Cressy 6 acres. He resided near the present golf grounds near Elliot Street before 1675 in Beverly, Essex, MA. He died on 13 Nov 1675 in Salem, Essex, MA. Pierce (695) says he died 10 Sep 1675 on page 347 and 13 Sep 1675 on page 348. He left, according to his inventory, ?230 (included "considerable" tracts of land, orchards, and buildings) about 13 Nov 1675 in Salem, Massachusetts Bay Colony. He Purchased 60 acres of land. He was a taylor. John's daughter Mary died "in child-bed" in 1659 at the age of 19, the mother of John. John (and his brother Joseph) raised his grandchild rather than his father, Mighill Cressey, who was 31 when Mary died. Parents: Daniel BATCHELDER. He married to Mary before 1639. Children were: John BATCHELDER, Mary BATCHELDER , Abigail BATCHELDER, Hannah BATCHELDER, Hannah BATCHELDER, John BATCHELDER, Joseph BATCHELDER. He married to Elizabeth HERRICK after 1653. http://www.familyorigins.com/users/b/l/o/Peter-E-Blood/FAMO5-0001/d6.htm#P2261 "JOHN, Salem 1638, perhaps earlier, had gr. of ld. 1639, was the freem. of 13 May 1640, is by tradit. said to be from Dorsetsh. but more prob. was that tailor from Canterbury, Co.
