In October, 1656, Mary Beetle Bachiler petitioned the Court, in the
following words, to free her from her husband, Rev. Stephen Bachiler:
"To the Honored Governor, Deputy Governor, with the Magistrates and
Deputies at the General Court at Boston:
"The humble petition of Mary Bachelor sheweth--Whereas your petitioner,
having formerly lived with Mr. Stephen Bachelor, a minister of this Collany,
as his lawfull wife, and not unknown to divers of you, as I conceive, and
the said Mr. Bachelor, upon some pretended ends of his owne, hath transported
himself unto ould England, for many yeares since, and betaken himself to
another wife, as your petitioner hath often been credibly informed, and there
continueth, whereby your petitioner is left destitute, not only of a guide
to her and her children, but also made uncapable thereby of disposing herselfe
in the way of marriage to any other, without a lawful permission; and having
now two children upon her hands, that are chargeable unto her, in regard
to a disease God hath been pleased to lay upon them both, which is not easily
curable, and so weakening her estate in prosecuting the means of cure, that
she is not able longer to subsist, without utter ruining her estate, or exposing
herself to the common charity of others; which your petitioner is loth to
put herself upon, if it may be lawfully avoided, as is well known to all,
or most part of her neighbors. And were she free from her engagement to Mr.
Bachelor, might probably soe dispose of herselfe, as that she might obtain
a meet helpe to assist her to procure such means for her livelyhood, and
the recovery of her children's health, as might keep them from perishing;
which your petitioner, to her great grief, is much afraid of, if not timely
prevented. Your petitioner's humble request therefore is, that this Honored
Court would be pleased seriously to consider her condition, for matter of
her relief in her freedom from the said Mr. Bachelor, and that she may be
at liberty to dispose of herselfe in respect of any engagement to him, as
in your wisdomes shall seem most expedient; and your petitioner shall humbly
pray. MARY BACHELER."
