Where did Henry Batchelder of Charlestown, NH, come from?

Question

There is a record from Fort #4 of the marriage of Henry B Batchelder to Betsy E Bignall (b. 1805) of Acworth on February 10, 1822. I do not know where he came from, nor where he went. They have a son, Thomas Benjamin, in 1822. Henry is recorded in the 1830 US Census in Charlestown, NH, and Betsy remarries a Thomas Cummings in 1842. A Henry Batchelder is reported dead in Amoskeag (NH) in a 1839 newspaper.

I am particularly curious about where Henry came from. One family legend suggests Connecticut. If he is the one who died in 1839, the newspaper asks that "family in Vermont" be notified.

Answer 1

There was a Henry Batchelder who was the father of Daniel Kidder Batchelder. Daniel was born 13 Dec 1813 in VT. Another son of Henry was John Alfred Batchelder, John was born 28 Sep, 1817 in VT. A third son was named George Washington Batchelder. George was born in VT on 12 Oct 1819.

Henry Batchelder and wife, Betsey Kidder had a daughter Sarah (Batchelder) Blanchard who died 8 Jul 1906 in VT at age 83. She was born estimated 1823.
