SANBORN

I descend twice from the famous Reverend Stephen Bachiler of Hampton, New Hampshire.  My first Batchelder line descends from his son Nathaniel (1590 – 1630) down to my great grandmother Carrie Maude (Batchelder) Allen (1872 – 1963).  My second Batchelder line descends from daughter Ann Batchelder (b. about 1602) who married John Sanborn.   Their son, John Sanborn, Jr.(my 9^th great grandfather)  was about age fifteen when he came to the New World in 1632 with his grandfather and two brothers.  His father arrived in New England at a later date, and his mother perhaps never came to America and died in England. 

John Sanborn, Jr. received his house lot and land in 1640 in Hampton, New Hampshire.  In 1645 he received another grant of land.  He is in the court records frequently for selling and buying land, witnessing documents and for suits against his neighbors for trespassing.  In 1650 John Sanborn, Jr. was first elected a selectman, and held that position several more times over the years.  He served as a Lieutenant in King William’s War (1689).   When he died in 1692 the inventory of his estate was recorded by his neighbors, amounting to 294 pounds and 14 shillings.

John Sanborn married first Mary Tuck and had eleven children. Then he married Margaret Page, the widow of William Moulton, and had my 8^th great grandfather, Jonathan Sanborn (1672 – 1741).  He married Elizabeth Sherburne in 1692, had twelve children and removed to Kingston, New Hampshire.
