The first authentic account we have of the current family is the record
of John Hussey and Mary Wood, December 5, 1593, when they both were of
Dorking, Surrey, England, and were persons of good position and of
moderate estate in lands. John Hussey died in England, leaving a widow
and children. Of the latter the records are meagre, but there is known
to have been a son John, who died young, a son Christopher and one or
more daughters of whom we have no authentic account.According to the Genealogical Dictionary of Maine and New Hampshire, it
is not unlikely that John was the early voyager Hussey cast away upon
Cape Florida and there devoured by the native cannibals, a fate
attributed to Christopher by his gr. gr. son Joseph Marshall of
Nantucket, in his signed 'Genealogy of the Husseys.'Another source, a Hussey genealogy chart provided by a Hussey
descendant, Dorothy Carter of Waynesville, OH, in 1992, John Hussey died
in Dorking on 5 Feb 1630.This information is quoted from the quarterly "Historic Nantucket",
volume 27, Oct. 1979, No. 2J. William Bardoe, Director of Research, English Genealogical Research,
Guildford, Surrey, furnished the entries below, some of which he
re-checked for accuracy, and stated that the registers of the adjacent
parishes of Abinger and Sheir (Shera) do not contain Hussey entries prior
to 5th 12. 1593. Neither do the Richmond Parish Registers reveal anything
pertinent to the ancestry of Christopher Hussey.DORKING PARISH REGISTERS, CO. SURREY, ENGLAND

The ancestry of Mary is taken from Ancestors and Descendants of Jehu Cox
by Wayne D. Stout. Stout provided it without any references.Mary Wood Hussey emigrated to the New England Colony 1630 according to
one historical record, and in 1632 according to others.Having been persecuted in England for their religious views in opposition
the the Church of England, they, along with hundreds of other
non-conformists or Puritans, had resided in Holland for a period before
emigrating to America.She was an 'Original Grantee' of Hampton, N.H. and a 'Proprietor" there
1638-1640. Her home was near but not with son, Christopher. Even though
there was no official "Friends" or Quaker Meetings at that time, her
family was of the faith that later became known as 'Friends'. She was a
forceful individual.Source: Historic Nantucket, Vol. 27, Oct 1979, No. 2, quotes Dorking

Wood's birth and marriage.

"As full time RVers we spent the summer of 1997 in Wells, Maine, about 40
miles north of Hampton, New Hampshire. We drove down there one day and
had a look around Founders Park. It is a small park in the shape of a
triangle in the south east part of town bounded by Park Ave., Landing
Road, and Cuss Lane. The perimeter of the park is lined with small
stones about two feet tall with a small plaque with the name of each
founding family who had settled in Hampton prior to 1700. I checked and
found my ancestor Hussey and Perkins stones. In the center of the park
is a large stone. According to the photographs I took, it is over seven
feet tall. It has a large plaque that contains the following, "A little
band of pioneers under the leadership of Reverend Stephen Batchelder of
South Ampton, England seeking a larger liberty in October 1638 settled in
the wilderness near this spot to plant a free church in a free town. They
were joined in 1639 by others and in that year the town was incorporated.
To do honor the founders and fathers of Hampton to exhalt the ideals for
which they strove and as an inspiration to posterity this memorial is
dedicated. October 16, 1925."LDS microfilm 1561672 has this colorful story about him:
Rev. Stephen Bachiler born in England 1561 was well educated (B.A. Oxford
1586), and had received orders in the established church but was not in
sympathy with his rites and institutions. His unwillingness to conform
to its requirements resulted in his being deprived of his ecclesiastical
commissions. He spend a few yhears in Holland but returned to London.
Came to Lynn, Mass. June 5, 1632 and here he established the first
Episcopal Church of Lynn according to his own ideas. Differences
occurred from time to time but finally when a council of ministers was
called, it was decided that although the church had not been properly
instituted, yet the mutual exercise of their religious duties had
supplied the defect. His removal from Lynn was desired by those who
differed from him, but where in that day did not religious differences
lead to enmity._Alumni Oxonienses: The Members of the University of Oxford;, 1500-1714_

Feb., 1585-6, rector of Wherwell,
> Hantgs, 1587. See Foster's _Index Ecclesiasticus_.Rev. Stephen Bachelor removed from Lynn, Mass. to Ipwich, where he
received a grant of fifty acres of land and a proposal to locate but he
soon left Ipwich and with some friend, John King and others to Mathcheese
on the Barnstable Bay, now Yarmouth, with a view of establishing a colony
there. This proved impracticable and he went next to Newburyport and
7-6-1638 received a grant of land from the town. Later the general Court
gave him permission to settle a town at Hampton a few miles from
Newburyport. In 1639 Ipwich offered him ;l60 acres of land if he would
live there but he declined.On 7-5-1639 he sold his house and land in Newbury and removed to Hampton,
settled the town and established a church of which he became pastor. In
1640 Hampton granted him 300 acres of land and he gave them a bell for
the church called "meeting-house". In 1647 he was in Portsmouth wwwhere
;he remained three years.At the age of eighty-nine he married unfortunately and lived with his
third wife only one year. In 1651 he returned to England and died in his
100th year.Here is a more detailed story I obtained from the Prodigy Genealogy
Topic:This was written by Rev. Stephen Bachiler, probably a descendant. This
eccentric and learned divine has the honor of being the first white man
who settled within the present limits of the town of Barstable. He lived
a hundred years, and his long life was checkered with exciting incidents
on which the imaginative pen of the novelist would delight to dwell.He was born in England in 1561, graduated from Oxford, received orders in
the established church, was settled in the ministry, and ejected by The
bishops for non-conformity, at whose hands Gov. Winthrop says he had
suffered much.
He married early in life, and four of his sons and three daughters are
named:John Wing, afterwards of Sandwich, married his daughter Deborah, probably
before his removal at Holland, where he resided several years. During his
residence in that country, Christopher Hussey, the ancestor of the
Nantucket family of that name, became enamored with his daughter
Theodate, and sought her hand in marriage; but Mr. Bachiler refused
assent, without the bridegroom would agree to remove to New England.
Hussey assented to the condition imposed, and took, probably in 1629,
Theodate to wife.Mr. Bachiler, intending to emigrate to New England, soon after returned
to London. Mr. Lewis states that his church in Holland consisted of six
members beside himself, and that these returned with him to London. No
names are given; but it is uniformly stated that they were his friends,
or members of his own family. If so, the seven probably were Mr. Bachiler
and his wife, John Wing and his wife Deborah. John Sanborn and his wife,
a daughter of Mr. Bachiler, and Theodate Hussey. Sanborn's wife died in
England, and it does not appear that he came over. His sons John,
William and Stephen came over with their grandfather and settled in
Hampton. Christopher Hussey and his mother, the widow Mary Hussey, were
afterwards members of his church, and followed their pastor in all his
wanderings. Mr. Savage, whose authority is not to be rejected on light or
inconclusive testimony, thinks the Husseys came over in the same ship
with Mr. Bachiler.The court records, and the decisions of the ecclesiastical councils favor
his supposition, and it will be hard to show how the ubiquitous number of
six members is made up,, if he is not right. On the 9th of March, 1632,
Mr. Bachiler and his company embarked at London in the ship William and
Francis, Capt. Thomas, and arrived in Boston Thursday, June 5, 1632,
after a tedious passage of 88 days, and on the day next after his arrival
went to Lynn.Mr. Lewis states that "In Mr. Bachiler's church were six persons who had
belonged to a church with him in England; and of these he constituted a
church at Lynn, to which he admitted such as desired to become members,
and commenced the exercise of his public ministrations on Sunday, the 8th
of June, without installation." Four months after a complaint was made
of some irregularities in his conduct. He was arraigned before the court
at Boston, Oct. 3, when the following order was passed: "Mr. Bachiler is
required to forbear exercising his gifts as a pastor or teacher
publiqely in our Pattent, unless it be to those he brought with him, for
his contempt of authority, and until some scndles be removed."Mr. Bachiler, however, succeeded in regaining the esteem of the people,
and the court on the 4th of March, 1633, removed their injunction against
him.
In 1635, some of the members became dissatisfied with the conduct of
their pastor, "and doubting whether they were regularly organized as a
church," withdrew from the communion. A council of ministers was held on
the 15th of March, and after deliberating three days, decided "that
although the church had not been properly instituted, yet after-consent
and practice of a church-state had supplied that defect. So all were
reconciled," says the record. Mr. Bachiler, however, perceiving no
prospect of terminating the difficulties, requested dismission for
himself and the six who had accompanied him from England, which was
granted, on the supposition that he intended to remove from Lynn.
Instead of this, he remained and formed another church of his friends,
that is of those who came over with him.
This conduct gave great offence to "the most and chief of the town" of
Lynn and they entered a complaint against Mr. Bachiler to the assistants
who forbade him to proceed in the organization of his church until the
subject was considered by other ministers. Still he goes on. The
magistrates require his attendance before them. He refused to obey; they
send the marshall who brought him into their presence. He submits and
agrees to leave the town in three months. Mr.Bachiler was admitted
freeman May 6, 1635, and removed from Lynn to Ipswich in Feb. 1636,
where he received a grant of fifty acres of land, and had the prospect of
a settlement; but some difficulty arose and he left the place.Gov. Withrop in the first volume of his history, under the date of March
30, 1638, has the following passage: "Another plantation was now in hand
at Mattakeese ("now Yarmouth," is written on the margin) six miles beyond
Sandwich. The undertaker of this was one Mr. Bachiler, late pastor at
Saugus. (since called Lynn) being about 76 years of age; yet he walked
thither on foot in a very hard season." "He and his company, being all
poor men, finding the difficulty, gave it over and others undertook it."
Mr. Bachiler settled in the easterly part of Mattakeese, at a place which
is known to this day as "Old Town." The names of his associates are not
given; probably the company consisted of persons who belonged to, or were
connected by marriage, with the family of Mr. Bachiler, namely, sons,
sons- in-law and grand-sons, with their families.Mr. Bachiler probably obtained the consent of Mr. Collicut, to whom the
lands at Matakeese had been granted, before he undertook to establish a
plantation; for without such consent he would have been a trespasser and
liable to ejectment. The terms of the grant cannot be quoted; but it does
not thence follow that not permit was given or grant made. We know by the
Old Colony records that in 1637 or 1638, certain lands in Barnstable were
run out into house and other lots; that these lands were laid out by or
under the authority of Mr. Richard Collicut of Dorchester. He was a
surveyor, but there is not evidence that he was ever in Barstable. The
Plymouth records tell us the thing was done; but they do not tell us who
did it. The passage quoted from Gov. Winthrop clearly and distinctly
states that at, or about the time, the Plymouth records say the lands
were run out, Mr. Bachiler and his company undertook to form a
plantation at Mattakeese.The very first thing that he and his company did, undoubtedly, was to do
what all such companies did in those times first do that is run out house
lots for each of their party, and farming lands and meadows to be held by
each in severalty. Not to presume this, is to presume that Mr. Bachiler
and his company were not only wanting in common prudence, but wanting in
common sense. The first settlers in new countries never failed to
appropriate a sufficiency of land to themselves, and in order to make
such appropriation, they must first run them out and put up boundaries.
That there were some among his company that could survey lands, scarce
admits of doubt. Mr. Bachiler, as Mr. Prince informs us, was a "man of
learning and ingenuity, and wrote a fine and curious hand," and he could
undoubtedly run lines and draw plans. His son John Wing, one of the
company, was a man of skill and energy-and he probably had with him his
sons Daniel, Stephen and John, three stout youths, if not all men
grown-one of whom in after-times was a surveyor of lands. That Mr
Bachiler's party were capable of doing all that the Colony records say
was done, does not admit of doubt, and in the absence of all proof to the
contrary, it is to be presumed that they did do it.Sandwich was settled in 1637, mostly by people from Lynn-old neighbors
and acquaintances of Mr. Bachiler's company-and it is probable, that
being the nearest settlement to Mattakeese, that they left their women
and little ones there till shelter could be procured for them in the new
settlement.
The first house built within the present bounds of Yarmouth (of which
there is a record) is that of Mr. Stephen Hopkins, afterwards, owned by
his son Gyles, and by him sold to Andrew Hallet, jr. This was in the
summer of 1638, and was built as a temporary residence for his servants
who had the care of cattle sent from Plymouth to be wintered at
Mattakeese. Whether or not cattle had been sent from Plymouth in
previous years does not appear; if so, then Mr. Bachiler found whites
within a mile of the place he selected for settlement.
It was also in the immediate vicinity of Lyanough's town," a place not
inhabited by the Indians in the winter, and their deserted wigwams
perhaps afforded them a temporary shelter. Mr.
Bachiler and his company wee all poor men, illy provided with the means
of establishing a plantation, even in the mild season of the year, and it
is hardly possible that they could have sustained themselves during the
intensely cold winter of 1637, without some kindly herdsmen, or some
friendly Indians gave then shelter while they were preparing their
rudehabitations.Early in the spring of 1638, Mr. Bachiler, "finding the difficulties
great," abandoned his plantation at Mattakeese. John Wingand his family
stopped in Sandwich. Mr. Bachiler and Christopher Hussey went to Newbury,
and on the 6th of September the Massachusetts Legislature gave them and
others leave to begin a plantation at Hampton, of which he became the
minister. The net year, according to Mr. Felt, he was excommunicated for
unchastity, thought Gov. Winthrop says he was then "about eighty years of
age, and had a lusty, comely woman to wife." In November 1641, he was
restored to the church, but not to his office. About this time his house
in Hampton took fire and was consumed with nearly all his property.In 1644, the people of Exeter invited him to settle there; but the court
forbid his settlement. In 1647, he was at Portsmouth, now Portland, where
in 1650, he being then 89 years old, his second wife Helen(a) being dead,
he married his third wife Mary, without publishing his intention of
marriage according to law, for which he was fined ten pounds half of
which was afterwards remitted. (interesting, I found that he had 4 wives,
any one know?) With his third wife he lived only a few months. She went
to Kittery, and, according to the York records, on the 15th of October,
1651, was presented for committing adultery with George rogers, and
sentenced "to receive forty stripes save one, at the first town meeting
held at Kittery six weeks after her delivery, and be branded with the
letter A." In October, 1656, she petitioned for a divorce from Mr.
Bachiler, because he had five years before "transported himself to Ould
England, and betaken himself to another wife and because she desired
"disposing herselfe in the way of marriage,"Whether or not she obtained a divorce does not appear on record. Mr.
Bachiler, after his return to England, married a fourth wife, this third
being then living. At last he died in the year 1660, at Hackney, near
London, inthe one hundredth year of his age.No record of his family is preserved. Four sons and three daughters are
named. Henry, settled at Reading; Nathaniel, born about 1611, "aa chip of
the old block." settled at Hampton, and Francis and Stephen, both
remained in London, the latter said to have been living in 1685. Of his
daughters, one as before stated, married John Sanborn, and died before
1632. Theodate, married Christopher Hussey, and died in Hampton in 1649.
Deborah married John Wing of Sandwich. On the Yarmouth town records I
find the following entry: Old Goody Wing desesed the last of January, '91
and '92," that is Jan'y 31, 1692, N.S. This record probably refers to
Deborah, widow of the first John Wing. Her son John resided at Sawtucket
(now Brewster). then within thecorporate jurisdiction of Yarmouth, and
his aged mother probably resided with him. There is no one beside to whom
the record will apply. Her age is not given, but an approximation to it
may be made. Her son Daniel of Sandwich, if he had then been living,
would have been 70 years of age, consequently the mother must have been
about 90 years of age at her death.
(In preparing this article, I have consulted Gov. Winthrops History, the
Plymouth and Massachusetts Records, Felt's Ecclesiastical History,
Savage's Genealogical Dictionary, and Lewis's History of Lynn; the latter
gives the fullest sketch of the life of Mr. Bachiler yet published. The
reading of the extracts from the records, given by Mr. Lewis, leave the
impression of the mind that Mr. Bachiler was not such a man s a minister
of the gospel should be.
A literary friend, who for several years has been collecting materials
for a memoir of Mr. Bachiler, says he is not deserving of the odium which
has been heaped on his character.The NHSOG (NH Soc. Genealogists Record) Vol. 8, No 1 (Jan 1991) contained
an article by George Freeman Sanborn Jr. (who is Editor, Pres of NHSOG,
and Dir. of the NEHGS Library in Boston - impeccable credentials) .....
His article is just 4 pages long, and reveals research done which proves
that the once-published data that Stephen BACHILER died in Hackney ENG in
1660 was the result of a hasty reading by someone long ago of
"Collections of the Mass. Hist. Soc., Vol. VII - 4th Series, pp
583-584" which actually referred to - not Rev. Stephen, but a Rev. John
BACHILER - no known relation, who actually died Hackney 1674! So much
for one mistake perpetuated for decades. Research originally
commissioned for a Philip Simonds, and published in the "Batchelor
Family News-Journal" 4:5 (April 1974), gave new clues. The Sanborn
Family Assoc. continued the research (all N.E. SANBORNs are desc. from
the 3 grandsons of Rev. Stephen BACHILER) - and in the Guildhall Library
in London was found, in the burial register of Allhallows Staining:
"Steeven Batchiller Minister that dyed att Robert Barbers was buryed in
the new church yard Octob 31th 1656". Only 2 men named Stephen BACHILER
were alumni of Oxford / Cambridge, and it has been concluded that this
burial was that of our ancestor. He would have been about 90. He
matriculated St. Johns College, Oxford 15 Nov 1581, and gave his age as
71 on arrival in N.E. in 1632. The church of Allhallows Staining (taken
down in 1870) stood at west side of Mark Lane, south of Fenchurch St. in
London. Thus, Rev. Stephen BACHILER was buried just 17 days after Mary
(BAILEY) BEEDLE petitioned the courts in N.E. to divorce Stephen.In June 1995 I noticed that Heritage Books was reprinting the 1898

Some records show his name as "G. Lano" But, in all my research I have found NO Record of a family "Lano". in or around the place Gysbert was born.
Some Books say: " Gysbert or Gillbertwas born at Tourcoing in Flanders, records show he was baptised in the Roman Catholic Church, but became a Protestant after the Siege of Tourcoing bythe Huguenots ( meaning Confederate ) He married in 1558 the Protestant Heiress, Lady Marguerite de Ligne, and moved to Tournai in Hainault,where the public records show that he and his son Jean were residing in 1599. Gysbert's marriage with the Protestant Heiress and subsequent alliance with the Huguenots caused a very serious family feud, he being the first Protestant in any branch of the family, and he was then disinherited by his father. Upon his fathers death, his sister Marie inherited the estates in 1560 and upon her death 22nd May, 1567 she left them to her aunt Marie, who in turn left them to another niece Yolanda". Some records show Gysbert or Gillbert used the coat - armor of Barbancon, inherited from his mother, and the Lannoy armes of his "paternal ancestors".
