*History of Hampton : "Rev. Stephen Bachiler was the progenitor of all the Hampton families of his name, the first pastor of the church and minister of the town. He was born in England in 1561; came to this country, 1632; founded the town of Hampton in 1638, and built his first home here, where Mr. Isaac Emery now lives. He had a second wife, named Helena. (It is thought that her last name was Mercer.) Mr. Bachiler had children, grown up and married long before he migrated to America. Of these, only one, Mrs. Hussey [Theodate], is known to have come to Hampton. There came also, grandsons, the Sanborns [John, William, and Stephen] and Nathaniel Bachiler, or Batchelder, as he was accustomed to write his name, and as it is now commonly written. Mr. Bachiler's wife, Helena died ____, and he married, third, probably about 1648, Mary _____.
After a residence of more than twenty years in America, he returned to England, where he died at Hackney, in 1660, in the one hundredth year of his age"

*History of Hampton : Vol. 1 - Apparently he named the town Hampton. " 'Winnacunnet shalbee called Hampton.' As briefly it is stated in the town records, that this change was made 'at Mr Bachiler's request' "

*Sanborn Genealogy [p.64] : "June 7, 1639, Winnicunnet 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 Southampton, then commonly called Hampton, with which the Bachiler family was associated. Stephen Bachiler was thus the founder of Hampton, the third settlement in New Hampshire, and for years the principal town in that colony; he recieved a grant of 300 acres from the town, gave a bell for their church, and bound up his fortunes with the new settlement. In 1639 Ipswich promised him a large grant if he would settle with them, but he refused."

*Sanborn Genealogy : "Just before this time, Bachiler's troubles increased; his wife died, and his house and library 'to the value of £200 ' were burned. Dishartened, he sold his land in Hampton and moved to Portsmouth, where he became a private residence, though still preaching occasionally. He hired a 'good neighbour' as his housekeeper, and in 1648, at 88 years of age, he married her. The match proved most disastrous; in 1650 she was convicted of adultery with one Rogers, and sentenced to be publicly whipped and branded with the letter 'A'. Bachiler sued for divorce, but was met with the atrocious order that he 'and his wife shall live together as man and wife, as in this Corte the have professed to do; and if either desert the other the marshall shall apprehend both and bring them to Boston, to be kept until the next Corte.' The only explanation for this order is the determination to make impossible Bachiler's remaining in the Massachusetts Colony; the attempt was successful. about 1654, accompanied by his grandson and godson, Stephen Samborne, Bachiler left the New World, " He was married to * Ann Bate in England.
