Early Life
Bachiler was born in 1561. An early graduate of Oxford (St. John's College, 1586), he was vicar of Wherwell, Hampshire (1587–1605) when ousted for Puritanical leanings under James I. Bachiler married, about 1590, Anne with whom he had six children: Nathaniel, Deborah, Stephen, Samuel, Ann, and Theodate. Anne Bachiler, who was somehow related to Rev John Bate - Bachiler's successor at Wherwell, died between 1610, the year of the birth of their last child, and 1624.
Bachiler had a second marriage to Christian Weare, widow, in 1623. She died before 1627. His third marriage, in 1627, was to Helena Mason, the widow of Revd. Thomas Mason of Odiham, Hampshire; Mary, the daughter of Helena and Thomas Mason, was married to Richard Dummer, who also became involved in the founding of the Plough Company.

—Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)
“Only one endowed with restless vitality is susceptible to pessimism. You become a pessimist—a demonic, elemental, bestial pessimist—only when life has been defeated many times in its fight against depression.”
