Biography

Mixed reports are found about the identity of the father of the immigrant brothers Henry, Joseph, and John. Several published sources report the father was possibly Mark Bachelor; other family files have reported the father was a Daniel Bachelor.

While the records should be more fully presented here, it seems that of the three known brothers, birth/baptismal records have not been identified about all.

Married: Mary (____) Fantinge by a marriage license dated 30 October 1598 in Canterbury, Kent, England.^[1] The marriage license indicates that she was a widow, so her LNAB was not Fantinge.
