Editing Stephen Bachiler (section)

==Plough Company and immigration==
In 1630 he was a member of the ''Company of Husbandmen'' in [[London]] and with them, as the Plough Company, obtained a 1,600 mile² (4,000&nbsp;km²) grant of land in Maine from the [[Plymouth Council for New England]]. The colony was called "[[Lygonia]]" after Cecily Lygon, mother of [[New England]] Council president Sir [[Ferdinando Gorges]]. Bachiler was to be its minister and leader. Although the settlers sailed to America in the winter of 1630–1631, the project was abandoned. The [[plough]]{{efn|U.S. spelling, "plow"}} and the image of a sun rising from its base feature on Bachiler's coat-of-arms which were included in a 1661 work on the origins of heraldry by [[Sylvanus Morgan]].<ref>{{cite web|last1=Hutchinson|first1=Peter|title=Stephen Bachiler's Coat of Arms|url=http://www.hampton.lib.nh.us/hampton/biog/bachilercoatofarms.htm|publisher=2006 - Hampton Library, New Hampshire|access-date=15 November 2017|quote=The coat of arms is real, even if not granted by the College of Heraldry or any other authority. It was included in a 1661 work on the origins of heraldry by Sylvanus Morgan– a four-volume The Sphere of Gentry; deduced from the principles of nature; an historical and genealogical work of arms and blazon. In heraldic terms, the Bachiler coat of arms is described as Vert, a plow in fess; in base the sun rising, or, meaning that the field (face of the shield) was green in color, with a plow aligned across its center portion and the image of a sun (in gold) rising from its base.}}</ref><ref>The Genealogist, New Series, 19 [1903]:270-284</ref><ref>Wing Genealogy, vol.
