  • Note: The ancestors of John Batchelder have not been researched by the author of this database, nor posted to this database. John's paternal line is fairly well known, as his second great grandfather was Reverend Stephen Bachiler. See the website of the Lane Memorial Library, Hampton, New Hampshire for a page of links about him.

    John's mother Elizabeth is said by family tradition to be Elizabeth Foss of Rye. But the Brage manuscript points out the lack of evidence.
