    "Steeven Batchiller, minister, that died at Robert Barbers, was buried in the new churchyard Oct. 31, 1656."... "That Mr. Bachiler returned to England in old age, after the collapse of his fourth marriage, has long been known. Reports that he died in Hackney, Middlesex, in 1660, aged 100 years, appeared in print, but were long ago disproved. These were based partly on tradition that he lived to a great age and died in England, and partly on a hasty conclusion made in error by someone reading material published in the Collections of the Massachusetts Historical Society. vol.

    "His next removal was to Newbury, where, on the 6th of July, 1638, the town made him a grant of land, and on the 7th of October, 1638, the General Court of Massachusetts, in order to be rid of a troublesome pastor, and also to strengthen their claim to the territory, more than three miles north of the Merrimac, granted Mr. Stephen Bachiler and his company, who had petitioned therefor, liberty to begin a plantation at Winnicunnet, now called Hampton, N. H. On Tuesday, October 16, 1638."

  15. A plaque on the stone in Hampton, New Hampshire's Founder's Park commemorating the founding of the town in 1638 reads:
    "A little band of pioneers under the leadership of REV. STEPHEN BACHILER of Southampton, England seeking a larger liberty in October 1638 settled in the wilderness near this spot to plant a free church in a free town. They were joined in 1639 by others and in that year the town was incorporated. To do honor to the founders and fathers of Hampton, to exalt the ideals for which they strove, and as an inspiration to posterity, this memorial is dedicated October 14, 1925."
