Biography

Ann Bachiler was born, perhaps in Wherwell, Hampshire, England, about 1601,^[1][2] the daughter of Rev. Stephen Bachiler and his wife [Anne? ____ possibly Anne Bate?].

Sometime before 1619 Ann married Richard Samborne. Ann's husband,Richard, was a servant for Lady Anne Paulet of the manor of Herriard in Hampshire from about 1606-1614. Lady Anne Paulet was friends with Ann's father, Rev. Stephen Bachiler, who Lady Anne named in her will to preach a funeral sermon for her.^[3] Richard died sometime before June 1631, as Anne was described as a widow in the following excerpt from "Licenses to Pass beyond Seas":^[4]

"xxij Junii 1631: Steephen Bachiller aged 70 yeres resident at South Stonham, South' & uxor Hellen, of age xlviij yeres, vrss fflushing to visit their sons and daughters there; & so to return wth in two moneths. Ann Sandburn of age 30 yeres, widow, resident in ye Strand, vrss flishing." ^[5][4]

Ann married again on 20 January 1631/2 to Henry Atkinson.^[6]

It has been thought that Ann's three Samborne sons emigrated in 1632 along with their grandfather, Reverend Stephen Bachiler. Rev. Bachiler sailed on the ship "William and Francis," which left London, England on 9 March 1632^[7] and “after a tedious passage of eighty-eight days” arrived in Boston, Massachusetts Bay Colony on 5 June 1632.^[8] In describing this arrival, Winthrop’s Journal (written contemporaneously) states: “Mr. Welde and old Mr. Batchelor (being aged 71) were, with their families, and many other honest men..."^[9] Since Rev. Bachiler’s actual children were adults at this time, it has been assumed that his “family” meant his grandsons, the Samborne boys, who were documented as being with Rev. Bachiler in Hampton, Massachusetts in 1639. The fact that there is no record of the Samborne boys prior to 1639 may be due to the fact that they were juveniles for which information is frequently lacking. Alternatively, it is also possible that the Samborne boys simply came over at a different time before 1639. This issue is currently unresolved.

As for, Ann and her second husband, Henry, they were apparently living in London in 1639. As described in a lawsuit that was filed in the Court of Requests in November of 1639:

”In 1639 Henry Atkinson of London, gent., complained that five or six years before John Bate, gent., living in Holland, had borrowed L4 from ‘Samuel Bachiler late of Gorcem [i.e., Gorcum] in Holland aforesaid Minister,’ after which Bate instructed [Samuel] Bachiler to collect the debt from Dorcas Bate, mother of John, and widow of Reverend John Bate, minister, deceased. [Samuel] Bachiler assigned the debt to Atkinson, who had married [Samuel] Bachiler’s sister, and Atkinson was unable to collect the debt from Dorcas Bate.”^[1]

Anderson did not believe Ann ever emigrated to New England. Alternatively, Stott thought that it was possible that Ann emigrated with her sons at some point. The November 1639 court case in London, however, seems to prove the Henry and Ann did not emigrate with the boys before 1639. This issue is also unresolved.

Marriage and Children

Married 1st Richard Samborne about 1619 in England. Previously, various published reports speculated about the name/identity of Ann's first husband as John or William Samborne.
