The first of the name, Batchelder (AKA Batcheller) in this country, seems to have been Rev. Stephen Batchelder (AKA Batcheller), who sailed from London, March 9, 1632, and arrived at Boston, June 5th. He is referred to as "having in his company six persons his relatives and friends". He settled in Lynn.

The next of the name, of whom there is any record, was Joseph of Canterbury, England, who embarked for New England, in 1636, with his wife Elizabeth, one child, and three servants. He settled first in Salem - that part afterwards Wenham; was made freeman in 1637; was deputy in the General Court at Boston in 1644; and the first representative from Wenham. Whether he was related to Rev. Stephen cannot be ascertained. Mr. John A. Boutell, the antiquarian and student of family histories, says the Batchellers in this country are not connected with each other. Joseph Batcheller is the ancestor of the Sutton families bearing the name. His children were, Mark, John, Elizabeth, and Hannah. His descendants have remained in Wenham until the present time.

Mark, probably his son, was killed in the assault made upon the stronghold of the Narragansctts, Dec. ??, 1675.

The church in Wenham was organized October 8, 1644, and Joseph Batcheller was one of the members. His wife Elizabeth was admitted to membership on the seventeenth of November of the same year. He died about 1699.

"HISTORICAL NOTE"
The town of Wenham, originally called Enon, was part of the first settlement in Essex County in 1628. Wenham, Beverly, Manchester, Marblehead, Danvers, Topsfield, and part of Lynn - were originally part of Salem. It is about 20 miles north of Boston. It is bounded by Hamilton, Beverly, Danvers, and Topsfield.

First Church in Wenham was organized in 1644. There is some history on the church website at [link]: www.firstchurchwenham.org

The Wenham Cemetery is located on Route 1A, about half a mile from the center of town, next to the Wenham Golf Course. There are many very old gravestones in the front part of the cemetery, some recording deaths in the early 1700's.
