Was active in the church.
LDS film #1010743, Northfield Congregational Church, Litchfield, CT records.
Members received under the ministry of Rev Joseph: #77 Mrs. Philemon Bachelor 1805-1809-Harwinton. She transferred her membership from Harwinton to Litchfield after she married Philemon. Lyman Skinner B and Mary were baptized in the Church.
Then on Oct 1, 1809 the records indicate she was removed to Waterbury 1st. Under the remarks it showed Mary Skinner "Lemon". I don't know if this was her nickname??
LDS film #6146, Waterbury Church of Christ records.
On Oct 1, 1809 she was admitted to the Church: "received by letter of recommendation Mrs. (Mary) the wife of Philemon Bachelor". All of their children born after this date were baptized in the Church.From BATCHELDER HISTORY;
"James remembers her as a tall woman with snow-white hair, round shouldered and bent, where his grandfather had broad square shoulders and very erect."She was the opposite of Philemon as she didn't get angry easily but held a grudge for a long time. Philemon got angry quickly and it was soon forgotten.
"She had been down to make old Mrs. Whitney a visit, and coming back late, stopped at her son Lyman's to stay overnight.They heard her coughing during the night, went to her bedside asked if she were sick. She said 'No, only tired and have a tickling in my throat. She came to the breakfast table in the morning, but ate scarcely anything, failing rapidly from then on, living only a few weeks, she died November 6, 1855 at her son Lymans and was buried on his lot in Montville. (Most of this information was contributed by James Lyman Batchelder, and is written practically as he wrote it."
Baptismal dates for Lynus(Linus), Matilda, Sally, and Corinne recorded in Vol I of an 1896 history of Waterbury, CT edited by Joseph Anderson. Full title is: THE TOWN AND CITY OF WATERBURY, CONNECTICUT, FROM THE ABORIGINAL PERIOD TO THE YEAR EIGHTEEN HUNDRED AND NINETY-FIVE". The name was spelled Bacheldor.

Batchelder, came to Montville about this time, 1835, and purchased a farm of Guy Carlton, in section number twenty three, where B.N.B now resides. Philemon died many years ago." Philemon died in 1849, and this book was published in 1880.
From BATCHELDER HISTORY:
Gives date and place of birth. He married Mary Skinner late in life, and they had seven children.
Philemon was a farmer and lived in CT until he was about sixty years old. He then moved to Ohio and settled on land 2 miles south of Montville Center which his son, Lyman, had taken up and lived there until his death.
"He had an attack of what is now called Acute Indigestion, and to get relief he took Opium. But unfortunately and unintentionally an overdose, and never came out of the lethargy, dying on May 6, 1849." He was buried on the NW corner of the farm across from the old red schoolhouse. Frank Bill owned the Famer in Oct, 1922. Several of Philemon's children attended school there. The people in the area planned to make a neighborhood cemetery there.
In person Philemon was rather short and heavy, without being fleshy. He was a fine looking man with large, full, remarkably pretty blue eyes. He was an honest hard working man, who never engaged in speculation. He thoroughly disliked a horse, and could not bear to use or take care of one. The old New England type of work team was a yoke of oxen and a horse hitched ahead of the oxen. We all know that such a team would by nature be unfitted to work together as the horse walks fast, and the oxen walks moderately. Lyman being the oldest of the family had to ride the horse, while his father,...held the plow handles.
James has a very vivid impression that his mother was sitting in the south door of their house one day holding Jane and himself, when grandfather came and handed her some pears with the remark: "for the twins". He was in his shirt sleeves and his white, thick beard was of two or three weeks growth.
When Melissa was old enough she would go to see her grandfather frequently. When she was about three, she went down there and her grandfather had cider which had just commenced to turn and had that tingle, which is so palatable. He gave her a little and set the pitcher on the shelf. In a short time, Melissa pushed a chair up to the shelf and, climbed up on it and helped herself to the cider and drank until she was as full as a tick and staggered, fell down and "rolled around in regular old soak style".
A few days later she visited her grandfather again and asked for cider. He gave her a little, and she wanted more. He refused to give it to her. "She became quite wrath, and thinking to give her grandfather a body blow said, 'Yous sinks yous awsully bid man dones yous grandpa?' which pleased the old gentleman so he laughed heartily."Children by his first wife:
