BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH - "CAPT. ABRAHAM BATCHELLER (David, John, Joseph), b. Wenham, MA., June 5, 1733, m. May 15, 1751, Sarah Newton, b. Westboro. Capt. Abraham was born on the old homestead in Wenham, Mass. He removed to Westboro, was married, and then moved to Sutton soon after the time of his marriage, and purchased 1,000 acres of land, at one shilling per acre. He was a cooper by trade. Their eight children grew up in that town, and the sons received an equal share in the estate at their majority. Capt. Abraham was a man of not only indomitable courage and perseverance, but very eccentric. It is related of him - instead of cutting-out the underbrush to give himself a clear track to any part of the large tract which he desired to visit, he was accustomed to start his three yoke of oxen on a bee line for the desired locality, and crush through all obstructions. His children received a cup of tea once a week only, and that, upon Sunday morning. In later years, he erected the house in which he died, and of which an illustration is given as it appears in the History of Sutton. This volume refers to the Batchellers [sic] {AKA Batchelder} as a race of large strong men, and were good citizens. He is referred to in the records, as Capt. Abraham. In 1763, he was selectman as, Abraham Batcheller, in 1764, he held the same office, and was called, "Ensign Abraham", as he was in 1765 and 1766. In the year 1773, as a member of the selectmen, he was called Lieut. Abraham, and the same in 1782. Benj. Batcheller adm. on the estate of Capt. Abraham Batcheller, late of Sutton, April 5, 1814, wife Elizabeth, daughters: Vashty, Chase, and Sally.
