Deborah Wing, along with her father, Rev. Stephen Bachiler, and her four sons, John, Stephen, Daniel, and Matthew, sailed to America aboard the ship "William and Francis" and landed in the Boston area on June 17, 1632. Deborah's husband, John Wing, had died seven years before. They settled at Saugus, now Lynn, where they remained until 1637, on land that was given to the family by the King. They, along with 49 other families, then founded the town of Sandwich, Massachusetts. It is believed they named the town after Sandwich, England, which was Rev. John Wing's first pastorate after graduation from Oxford.

The story of Deborah Bachiler Wing, her husband and her parents is apparently quite dramatic. Here are a few bits and pieces as they deal with Deborah.

from http://members.aol.com/lynnash911/Deborah.html

Sandwich, Mass was settled in 1637, and incorporated in 1639, the Wings among the first there. Although Deborah's name does not appear on the list of founding fathers of Sandwich, it having been a man's world, she was and is still considered the "Matriarch of Sandwich". During her September years, she was known as "Olde Goody Wing"

Deborah Bachiler was born about 1592 probably in Wherwell, Hampshire, England. The date of death for Deborah Bachiler Wing has never been proven. There are several Wing family historians who believe that she died in 1691/92 . There are other Wing family historians that think that the reported death of "Goodie Wing" in that year could easily have been one of her daughters-in-law...perhaps John (Jr.) Wing's first wife. Deborah Bachiler married Rev. John Wing about 1610 probably in Holland.

It may be of some interest to Wing family historians that are interested in names to know that when Queen Elizabeth was made Queen on January 15, 1559 that there were several pageants that day to celebrate her coronation. One of those pageants was at the Conduit in Fleet street that showed how God had chosen the woman "Deborah" to be the judge and restorer of the house of Israel after the Israelites had long been oppressed by Jabin the Canaan King. Queen Elizabeth coronation was grand but it was even more than grand: it was a great Protestant demonstration of enthusiastic support for Elizabeth.

John Knox had written a book in 1558, "The First Blast of the Trumpet Against the Monstrous Regiment of Women" in which he argued against a sovereign being female. He felt that it was against the rule of God and therefore no woman ruler should be obeyed. When he discovered that Elizabeth not only had Protestant sympathies, but was indeed more Protestant than she was Catholic, he offered to proclaim that she was an exception to his doctrine about women rulers and was a "Deborah" chosen by God to lead His people to salvation.

It can be deduced that Deborah was probably the eldest daughter (of three daughters) of Stephen Bachiler. She was widowed in her thirties. Shortly after the death of her husband, John Wing, she emigrated from England to New England with her father, Stephen Bachiler, in 1632. Deborah and her 4 sons came to New England on the ship William & Francis with her father and his wife, Helena Mason Bachiler. One account states that she emigrated with her four sons and that one of them later returned to England. Another account states that only three of her sons accompanied her to America and that one remained behind. It has been proven that all 4 sons came with Deborah, although one son, Matthew, did return to England and died there. Deborah remained in Lynn, Mass where her father was pastor until 1637. That year was the year he removed to mid-Cape Cod (Yarmouth). She removed with her sons to upper, or western Cape Cod and there she became a founder of Sandwich. In Sandwich history, she is referred to as "the Matriarch". Her husband, John Wing, had lived in Sandwich, England; a connection, if any, is not known.

There have been accounts that Deborah moved with her son John Wing to Brewster in 1657...but I have found no proof of this. There is also an account that she lived with her son Stephen at the Wing (Old Fort) Home. So far I have not read any accounts that speculate that she ever lived with Daniel. All of these accounts could be true...but not proven...or all of them could be speculation because there is nothing mentioned about Deborah after she and her sons moved to Sandwich.

The troubles that her father (Rev. Stephen Bachiler) suffered must have had an effect on Deborah and her sons, but there is no known recorded events that indicate their involvement with him during that time. It has been stated that John Wing went with Rev. Bachiler when he attempted to settle Mattakeese, near Yarmouth, but I have not seen any proof of that.

It was during the 1640's that three of Deborah's four sons would marry. Daniel, her 2nd son, 3rd child, marries in the year 1641 to Hannah Swift. John Wing , her oldest son, 2nd child, marries about 1645 to Wife Unknown (my strongest feeling is that his first wife was Elizabeth Dillingham...but there is no proof). Then Stephen, her 3rd son, 4th child marries Oseah Dillingham in 1646...after appearing before the General Court for having had carnal knowledge of Oseah before their marriage. By this time Deborah's youngest son, Matthew, is 19 or 20 years old...yet you hear nothing about Matthew until about 1655 when you learn that Matthew married Joane Newman in Stroud, Kentshire, England...and there is still no mention of Deborah.

The reference to the "Olde Goody Wing buried" on January 31, 1692 has been believed by some Wing historians to be a reference to Deborah...but now it is thought that it is probably a reference to John Wing's first wife. My thoughts are that possibly Deborah died in the 1640's...when 3 of her 4 sons married...not only married but Daniel bought property from Andrew Hallett in 1640...when he was about 23 years old. Stephen supposedly built the Old Fort House in 1641, at the age of 20 years...and John received 6 acres of meadowland at Sandwich, Plymouth Colony in 1641. John was by then about 28 years old...and he marries in 1645 at about the age of 32 years. Perhaps John's marriage is the most significant since he was considered the head of the Wing household in Sandwich.

We may never know when Deborah Bachiler Wing died for certain. We can only be sure that her life had changed dramatically in New England from what she had experienced in England or Holland. I am sure there must have been several times she longed for the austerity of her former life. How many times she must have yearned to see her daughter (also named Deborah) and perhaps she either wrote to her or had one of her sons sit by the fireplace with her while she dictated to them what she wanted to say. Those letters would have been delivered by someone who was going to a port where a ship was leaving for England and by the time it got to the ship, it would already be weeks old. Deborah's letter would have been added to the pile that was already large for delivery in either London, Yarmouth or another port where hopefully it would be delivered with care to yet another town, village or vicarage. By some means, Deborah's daughter, Deborah Wing Ford, would be notified that there was a letter waiting for her and perhaps her husband Edward would see to it that he collected the letter. By the time Deborah Wing Ford read the letter her mother had sent to her, the letter would be months old.

There was a poem written about Deborah Bachiler Wing in 1903. Mrs. Elizabeth Hoxie Ware of Sandwich, Massachusetts wrote the poem and read it at the dedication of a bronze tablet marking the Sandwich location where Deborah Bachiler Wing raised her sons. I include that lovely poem here:

Long years ago in England,

When England yet was young,

And her honored poets laureate

Had neither lived nor sung,

A little maid with hair of brown,

And eyes of dusky hue,

Played in the shadow of a church,

Content the whole day through.

Where the River Test flows softly,

Twixt banks of brightest green,

And Queen Elfrida's convent,

through the arching trees is seen.

Softly she sang her childish thoughts,

As the daises her small feet pressed;

Softly she touched the fragrant flowers,

Or watched the wild birds nest.

And this is the song the wee maid sang:

"There's never a day without a cloud

Or a joy without a sorrow:

And the sun that sets in the rain tonight

Will shine for me tomorrow."

The preacher prayed inside the church

For a conscience freed from sin,

While the little child in innocence

Caught the heavenly voice within--

"Father I stood by the river

just as the moon went down,

And it lighted the church of Wherewell

As if with a golden crown.

And Father, I saw a vision;

Dost thou think that children may?"

"And what was the vision daughter?

Tell it to me, pray."

Her dark eyes grew more earnest,

While steady and strong was she;

"I saw four boys and a woman

In a vessel upon the sea.

And she was sad and lonely;

And a man that looked like thee

Stood near; and there was sound of weeping,

And the woman looked like me."

"Didst see aught else, my daughter?"

And he thought of the threatening storm

Of church and state and conscience,

And his weary heart grew warm.

For might not his little maiden

Be chosen of God to warn

Benighted, priest ridden England

Of the rise of a brighter dawn?

Earnest and still that fair child stood,

As Deborah stood of old,

And God's grace shone upon her

While she her vision told.

It came again unto her,

The same foreshadowing truth;

And with a tiny hand extended,

She saw through the bounds of youth.

"Father, I see the vessel,

And many are there, who make

The air resound with prayers

For God and conscience sake."

Scarce eighteen summers now have come and gone,

With each clouds of sunshine on the way;

Life's story glimmers bright with youthful song,

And earnest hours have changed from foolish play.

The little child unto a maiden fair has grown;

A strong souled man has looked into her eyes,

And from her heart her girlhood's song has flown.

While in it's place thoughts strange and sweet arise

Across her sunny pathway

With young love's wooing came

Young John, the stalwart preacher,

With words of sweetest flame.

"Deborah, beloved maiden,

Thou art dear, and unto thee

Give I all my heart; now answer,

Givest thou thine to me?"

Deborah, the gentle maid,

With her eyes of dusky brown,

Answered softly, "John, I love thee"

With her fair face drooping down.

Think ye then that John the preacher

E'er remembered priestly gown,

With that sweet faced maid before him

With her hair of burnished brown?

Nay, for in his arms he gathered

Her love unto his heart;

"God do ill and more to me, love

If I fail to do my part."

Came there then no thought or vision?

Forgotten was the prophesy

Of the sad-eyed lonely woman

Out upon the stormy sea.

A few more years have come and gone

While joy and sadness into life have grown.

We see the blessings of the children five,

We hear the sadness of the widow's moan.

The vision given in the fleeting years long gone,

Seems nearing now it's strange, sad truth to prove.

the woman on the stormy sea forlorn,

In spirit hath no confines to her love.

Ah rare indeed that company

The Lord did send out that day!

Did the little ship The Francis

Sail calmly on it's way?

Sail, stately ship, more proudly;

Thy banners all unfurled;

Thou carry'st wondrous tidings

Unto an unknown world.

Oh, Shawme Lake, by Indians called, how fair!

We greet thee now, unknown to world and fame.

Oh Sandwich! Unto thee we give our love--

For in her longing heart she gave thee name.

By Mrs. Elizabeth Hoxie Ware

Death ===An old Goody Wing died 31 Jan 1691/92 in Yarmouth, Barnstable, Massachusetts, but since Deborah would be 100 at that time, this date is doubtful.

Note ===: Note: In the meager town records of Sandwich no reference has been found to Deborah Wing. This is not strange. Her son John became the head of her household, and women were not prominent in town or public matters. Mrs. Emma Bartlett Chamberlain, historian of the Wing family,a few years ago found a will and the records of the probate of the estate of one Thomas Howell, a brick layer, who died in Boston in the spring of 647. It appears that Mr. Howell lived at Duxbury in the Plymouth Colony and the inventory of his estate taken May 31, 1648, mentions "chattels at Kenelm Winslow's, at Thomas Burnes and at Robert Waterman's." Mr. Howell's business seems to have taken him abroad from his home. The reference in his probate papers to "Goodwife Wing" and JohnWinge undoubtedly referred to Deborah Wing and her son John, to whom,by some chance, he had become indebted. The term "Goodwife" as used by the early colonists, designated the head of a household.

Marriage

: Husband: John Wing - Wynge
: Wife: Deborah Bachiler : Child: John Wing - Winge: Note: The influence of the courtship and the marriage of John and Deborah, and the consequent associations with the father of the latter,may have had much to do with the breaking of the young man's relations with his mother church. John Wing and Deborah Bachiler were marriedabout the year 1609-10. It may be conjectured that because John's brother Fulke named a daughter Deborah, born to him in 1608, that the marriage occurred even earlier. At the time of his marriage John was about twenty five years of age, and Deborah barely eighteen. The pldestchild, Deborah, was born in 1611. John, the second child, is said bysome student of family history to have been born at Yarmouth. He is mentioned in his grand father's will made in 1614, so that it is probable that his birth occurred in 1613.[CI:107:?4:CI] : Marriage: :: Date: ABT 1610:: Place: (Unknown), Eng<ref>Source: #S33 </ref><ref>Source: #S28 </ref><ref>Source: #S38 </ref><ref>Source: #S36 </ref>
