*History of Hampton : Vol. 1 - Apparently he named the town Hampton. "'Winnacunnet shalbee called Hampton.' As briefly it is stated in the townrecords, that this change was made 'at Mr Bachiler's request' "
*Sanborn Genealogy [p.64] : "June 7, 1639, Winnicunnet was made atown, and in the fall the name was changed to Hampton, at the request ofBachiler and in honor of the city of Southampton, then commonly calledHampton, with which the Bachiler family was associated. Stephen Bachilerwas thus the founder of Hampton, the third settlement in NewHampshire, and for years the principal town in that colony; he recieved agrant of 300 acres from the town, gave a bell for their church, and boundup his fortunes with the new settlement. In 1639 Ipswich promised him alarge grant if he would settle with them, but he refused."
*Sanborn Genealogy : "Just before this time, Bachiler's troubles increased;his wife died, and his house and library 'to the value of £200 ' wereburned. Dishartened, he sold his land in Hampton and moved toPortsmouth, where he became a private residence, though still preachingoccasionally. He hired a 'good neighbour' as his housekeeper, and in1648, at 88 years of age, he married her. The match proved mostdisastrous; in 1650 she was convicted of adultery with one Rogers, andsentenced to be publicly whipped and branded with the letter 'A'.Bachiler sued for divorce, but was met with the atrocious order that he'and his wife shall live together as man and wife, as in this Corte the haveprofessed to do; and if either desert the other the marshall shallapprehend both and bring them to Boston, to be kept until the nextCorte.' The only explanation for this order is the determination to makeimpossible Bachiler's remaining in the Massachusetts Colony; the attemptwas successful. about 1654, accompanied by his grandson and godson,Stephen Samborne, Bachiler left the New World.
