Bradley Family Tree - Stephen Bachiler

 Stephen Bachiler - Spiritual Leader and Cofounder of Hampton, New Hampshire

Family connection - 10th great-grandfather of Ruth Anne Bradley

Stephen Bachiler was born on June 23, 1561  in Hampshire, England. He was educated at St. John's College, Oxford, and became a minister. He married four times. His first wife, married sometime around 1593, was Anne Bates, and she was the mother of Ann Bachiler in the lineage below.  In 1623 he married Christian Weare, In 1627 he married Helena Mason. In about 1650 he married Mary Beadle. 

He immigrated to the Massachusetts Colony in 1632 on the ship William and Francis. Several of his family members and many of his parishioners came with him. 

He was given the ministry of a church in Lynn in 1632, in Ipswich in 1636, Yarmouth in 1637, and Newbury in 1638. It was not usual to move from parish to parish that quickly, but might indicate that there was dissention in each of his congregations.  Several scholars have suggested that a core group of congregants, including many of those who immigrated with him on the William and Francis, followed him from parish to parish until deciding to join him in the founding of a new town. 

Later in 1638, he and a group of congregants left Newbury to form a new town  known today as Hampton, New Hampshire. Many of his followers were members of the original families Hampton, and there are many in Ruth Bradley's family tree, so we will likely revisit Hampton a few times in this blog.  

Stephen returned to England in 1654. He died in October of 1656  in London and was buried in what is now called Bedlam Burial Ground in the City of London. 

As a note of interest, some scholars believe that when the leaders of the church met in Boston to decide what to do about the "heretic" Roger Williams, Stephen Bachiler was the only minister who did not vote to expel Williams from the church. I will be blogging about Roger soon, as he is a member of the Stricker family tree.

Welcome!

Welcome to my genealogy blog! I'm just getting started, but I hope to share family trees, facts, and stories I've uncovered while researching my family and Dave's family. So, I will be posting family trees for the ancestors of Edward Elihu Hazen Jr.,  Ruth Ann Bradley, Roy Ellsworth Stricker, and Anna Elnora Rosemeyer,  My genealogy is a work in progress, and although I strive for accuracy, and have at least one (usually several) historical record to back up each name and relationship, I do make revisions from time to time. My goal for each branch is to trace direct ancestors at leas as far as the first immigrant to the U.S.  I'm new at blogging, so please be patient - I'm learning as I go. Again, welcome! Starla

Rosemeyer Family Tree - Friederick Rosemeyer and Eleanor Kolling

Friederich Rosemeyer  and Eleanor Kolling - Immigrants to Indianapolis Family Connection - great-grandfather and great-grandmother to Anna Rosemeyer Friederich Rosemeyer was born in Germany on Aug. 25, 1844.  I haven't found a marriage record (yet!) but in 1873, he immigrated to the U.S. with his wife Eleanor, age 31, daughter Christine, age 4, and son Friederich, age 11 months. They arrived in New York on September 19th. I assume they traveled by train to Indianapolis from New York City.  Why Indianapolis? We may never know for sure, but it is likely they came because they had connections to other members of Zion Evangelical and Reformed Church (now Zion United  Church of Christ). Indianapolis had a large German immigrant community, and at Zion, they worshipped in German until at least 1928, when the first services in English occurred.  Friederich and Eleanor had six children:     Christina      1869-1875     Frederick  ...

The  town was established in 1639, so he was an early settler, but not an original one.  Edward married Elizabeth, surname unknown. She died on Sept. 18. 1649 and was buried in the Rowley Burial Ground. They had no children.  On Mar. 2, 1650, Edward married Hannah Grant, daughter of Thomas Grant and Jane Haburne.
