Surname Saturday ~ A New BATCHELDER lineage

My great grandmother, Carrie Batchelder (1872 - 1963)
surrounded by family members in Hamilton, Massachusetts

This is part four of my series on the BATCHELDER surname Do-Over.  You can find the links to the first three parts below.

Back in 2015 I wrote up a Surname Saturday blog post on my BATCHELDER lineage. My great grandmother, Carrie Maude Batchelder (1872 - 1963) was the last ancestor in this line to carry the name that started with my immigrant ancestor, the Reverend Stephen Batchelder (1561 - 1656), my 11th great grandfather.  About 40 years ago I consulted the book Batchelder - Bacheller written by Frederick Clifton Pierce in 1898.  Over the years I have used this basic information to expand on this lineage, but shortly after writing my 2015 post I realized that there was more information about my 4th great grandfather, Jonathan Batchelder, that changed this lineage.  This information came from notes by Charles Hull Batchelder, who was revising mistakes in Pierce's book.  C.H. Batchelder died in 1948 and never finished his book.

Five generations of his notes were compiled into a manuscript by Carl W. Brage.  You can find this manuscript online at the Lane Memorial Library (Hampton, New Hampshire) website.  However this manuscript stops a few generations short of my 4th great grandfather, Jonathan Batchelder.  Fortunately for me, C. H. Batchelder's notes on all the Batchelder descendants are held in eleven large boxes at the New Hampshire Historical Society library. Read the other three blog posts in this series to see what an adventure it was to find the proofs I needed in those boxes!

Surnames I lost from my ancestors during this Do-Over:

SWETT, PAGE, NORTON, FOSS, NUDD, GOODHUE, SMITH, WEARE, BAKER, DOWNING,  LANE, SLEEPER, BLAKE, WEBSTER, SHAW, SHERBURNE, BREWER, EVERARD, MARRIAN, PARTRIDGE, HUTCHINGS, SPICER, GIBBONS, and PAGE.
