Notities over Lt John Sanborn Jr.

The name Sanborne is not uncommon in America, but is extremely rare in England and all evidence points to have been one distinct family of the name from ancient lines. All American Sanbornes are descended from Hampton Settlers of 1639. John, William and Stephen Sanborne were the sons of an English Sanborne (probably William of Brimpton, Berks) and Anne, daughter of Rev. Stephen Bachiler. The three sons of Anne Sanborne are said to have come to America with their grandfather Bachiler in 1632 but apparently their mother did not come over nor have we any trace of the three sons until 1639 in Hampton. Lieut. John Sanborne born 1620 (Deposition in Norfolk Co. Files) was probably in Hampton in 1640 since he was then granted a house-lot and a tract of land there. In 1643 his name is signed to a Hampton petition; and from this date the records contain frequent mention of him. Selectman in 1674-5 1678-9. At Salisbury Court, Nov. 14, 1676, John Sanborne was Foreman of the Grand Jury. As Ensign of the Hampton Co. in.1677, he signed a petition to Maj. Gen. Denison, asking for help. Commissioned Lieutenant of Hampton forces, October 15, 1679, (Mass. Col. Rec. v. 252) When Charles II decided to make New Hampshire a Royal Province in 1679, Sir Warren wrote to the Lords of Trade that in Hampton the men most eminent and best qualified for His Majesties Council were Dan Dal ton, Capt. Husse, John Sanborne and Nath. Wyer (State Papers, Colonial 1670 -80 In the Cranfield and Mason persecutions we find that John Sanborne suffered: "Wm. Fifield and co. depose that in Oct. 1684 being at John Sanbornes Sen. house, when Robert Mason, Sherlock the Marshall and James Leach came to give Mason possession, when Sanborne not opening the door, Leach broke it open and Sherlock took Sanborne prisoner, when Mason told the people openly, This is what you shall all come to" (N H. Prov. Papers, i, 539) Also in Capt. Henry Dow's diary we find "Bro. Sanborne put in prison, 21 Oct 1684. Capt. Sherburne and I compared a copie with the original execution; and there was no return made upon; it is the 1st Nov, 1684. Lieut.

John Sambourne of Maiden Newton, Dorset. Son of Francis, born about 1600. He probably moved to London with his two brothers by 1615. He married Ann Bachiler (Batcheler), daughter of Reverend Stephen Batcheler. They had three sons: William, John, Stephen. He died in Derbyshire, England. The name Sanborn (Sambourne, Sandburn, etc.) is very uncommon in England and genealogists assume that all Sanborns descend from William Sambourne of Sunning, Oxfordshire. John Sanborn of this record was born in England in 1620. He came with his two brothers and his grandfather, Rev. Stephen Batcheler, to America in 1632 on the William and Francis. In Hampton, New Hampshire, he married Mary Tuck, daughter of Robert Tuck. After her death, on Dec. 30, 1668, he married Margaret Page Moulton, a widow.In 1664 he was chosen Captain for Hampton. It appears he was not a freeman and the case was referred to the General Court. He was chosen Ensign in October, 1665 and a year later legally confirmed Ensign. He was commissioned as Lieutenant in 1679. Was representative for Hampton in 1685.In 1649 John Sanborn, with William Eastow, was appointed to lay out the salt marsh on Great-Ox Common. Sanborn was active in town affairs, especially on boundaries and land titles.H e was a prominent man in Hampton. Was selectsman 1660~1661~1665; 1668~72; 1674~75; 1678~79.

John Sanborn's mother was a daughter of Rev. Stephen Bachiler. He and his brothers, Stephen and William, came to Hampton , where John had granted to him in 1640 five acres for a house lot, two and one half, or thereabouts, at home and the rest beyond Taylor' s river. In 1645 he had two of the 147 shares. In 1650 he and his wife had seats in the meeting-house. In 1651 he was chosen to confirm the old grants. November 21, 1651, he had two shares of the ox commons. His tax was 14 shillings in 1653. January 23, 1654, he was chosen agent for the town in Hobbs' s suit against the town. June 30, 1657, he was chosen in the room of William Swain to provide a house for the minister. October 24, 1657, he was to see to the repairs of Mr. Cotton's house. February 28, 1658, he was chosen to finish the building for Mr. Dalton. May 29, 1658, he was appointed to confer with Mr. Cotton about his house. July 16, 1658, he and two others were to see to the grants and highways. January 1, 1660, he was chosen one of a committee to wait upon Mr. Cotton about the repairs to be made on his house. March 16, 1660, he was chosen to hire the schoolmaster. January 9, 1663, he was appointed to examine the shares. June 9, 1663, he was one of the men to lay out the four thousand acres west of Hampton bounds, and on April 14, 1663, he was chosen to make a division of the same. September 21, 1664, his power as a wood ward was suspended and other regulations were made. January 24, 1665, he was chosen to collect the arrearages of the constable, and with power to levy fines and take by distress, etc. March 27, 1665, he made a motion to admit Henry Deering as an inhabitant with permission to keep the ordinary. June 20, 1665, he was chosen with Rev. Mr. Cotton and Samuel Dalton to draw a writing asserting the claims of the inhabitants to their lands and remonstrating against the claims of Mr. Mason before Sir Robert Carr and the other royal commissioners. The appointment of Sanborn to this duty indicates the high opinion his fellow townsmen had of his talents and integrity, nor did he ever lose this good esteem. October 12, 1665, he was chosen to lay out the farm of two hundred acres granted to the Rev. Mr. Cotton, and was also chosen to lay out the second division. July 25,1667, he was elected a commissioner to try small causes. May 22,1667, he was to lay out the land granted Daniel Tilton. March 18, 1668, he was chosen to rectify Anthony Taylor's bounds. April 12, 1669, he was chosen to manage the suits against Portsmouth about the lands at Josslyn's Keck, before the next court at Salisbury . September 5, 1669, he was appointed to run the Exeter line. December 10, 1669, he was to treat with William Fuller concerning the exchange of one hundred acres of land at Hogpen plains. December 22, 1669, he was chosen to lay out the land more than four miles north of the meeting-house. March 3, 1670, he had a grant (No. 51) of one hundred acres. June 13,1671, he was chosen an appraiser of the goods taken by the constable by warrant of distress, May 31, 1671. He was chosen a commissioner to make the rates, April 25, 1672. He was chosen to treat with Mr. Dudley and Mr. Gilman respecting the suit of Exeter against the widow Garland , October 21, 1672. He was elected one of the selectmen in 1650, 1657, 1661, 1665, 1668, 1671, 1674, and 1678.He died October 20, 1692. His first wife was named Mary. Her children were:Richard, born November 4, 1654; married Ruth Marston, October 10, 1678. Mary, born January 19, 1657; died November 4, 1660. Joseph, born January 13, 1659; married Mary Gove.

Mary, born 1664; died, 1664.Nathaniel, born November 27, 1665; married, first, Rebecca Prescott ; second, Sarah Nason. Benjamin, born October 20, 1668; married, first, Meribah Tilton; second, Abigail Dalton.He married, second, widow Margaret Moulton, daughter of Robert Page. He had one son by her:Jonathan, born March 25, 1672; married Elizebeth Sherburne.Widow Margaret Sanborn died July 13, 1699, aged seventy years. He had a son John who died in 1727, and probably Josiah who was a selectman in 1695. His inventory was 'a3294 14s. In 1722, Richard Sanborn drew one half share in the first division, Ensign John Sanborn one half share in the third division and one share in the fifth division, in the original right of John Sanborn.Lieutenant Sanborn was one of the most strenuous opponents of the Masonian claims and of Cranfield's administration. He was a signer of Weare's petition to the king in 1683. October, 1683, Robert Mason, Sherlock, the marshal, and James Leach came to San- born's house in order to give Mason possession, when Sanborn not opening the door, Leach, by the marshal's order, broke it open, and gave Mason possession. Sanborn was taken prisoner. In November, 1683, Governor Cranfield brought an action against John Sanborn of Hampton for saying, "I question whether the King ever knew of Edward Cranfield's commission or patent." The damages were laid at 'a3500.In case pending between the Hon. Edward Cranfield Esquire Plaintiff, against John Sanborn Defendant the jury find for the Plaintiff, five hundred pounds damage, and costs of Court, Or to make a public acknowledgment in all four towns both for matter and form, as the Court shall direct. Then he so doing shall pay but ten pounds and costs of court.The costs were 'a31 19s. The acknowledgment was made in 1685. He borrowed the money of Richard Waldron, his son Richard, and William Vaughan to pay the above fine, October 24, 1685. His four sons, Richard, Josiah, John, and Joseph, were signers of Weare's petition. Lieut. John Sanborn lived at first on his lot near the residence of the late Alvin Emery, but afterward moved south of Taylor' s river. He owned and lived on the farm now occupied by the heirs of Thayer S. Sanborn. The farm has remained in possession of the Sanborn family ever since. John San- born's house was situated near where the garden now is, by the lane which leads to the depot road. He was the ancestor of the Sanborn families in this town, where they have been numerous and prominent in town matters. Our Puritan Era Ancestory (A Family Study Aid) May 26, 2009 Dear Family and other interested readers, I have been working on our family history now for about four or five years. It is nowhere near complete. However it is beginning to take shape enough to see the wonderful story emerging. Genealogy is more (or should be) than a simple listing of names, dates and places. Looking at a list of 'begats' doesn't really do a lot to give you that sense of awe you get when you actually know the stories of the individuals, the pride you feel for yourself when you find ancestors who did extroadinary things, or just lived an ordinary life in an extraordinary way. Once you begin delving into it, you find your people coming alive right before your eyes, and if you are particularly lucky, you can even find a few that you get to know so well you can almost feel you actually had. It seems to me the vast majority of those delving into family history are mostly concerned with simply finding the next generation back, and certainly this can be highly pleasing and exciting when it occurs, especially if one has been looking for a particular connection for a long time. But the excitement really starts mounting when you start delving into the personal stories of these people whose lives on earth resulted in your own. So over time I have been reading stories, and reading between the lines of recorded life data to see more than just a name, date and place for a given individual. I am completely enamored of our family, and proud to be descended from some of the most colorful, independent, and forward thinking people one could imagine. But I have had to piece all my gleanings together over time, reading of one person here and another there and going back to people time and again to get all there is to know. This has been a time consuming process, not only to see the sories emerging of the individual players in the saga, but to piece together the fabric of the times in which they lived in order to get the full and total flavor of story of our existence. I wish to make the journey for those of you who follow much easier and more exciting. There is no reason for you to have to retrace MY steps and spend precious time gathering data and narratives which I already have done. So as I have found pertinent information I have attached it to relevent people and familes, and have written my own additional thoughts and conjectures where appropriate and relevent. However, it occurs to me that this is not really enough. Someone just embarking on the journey will have no particular place to start, and may end up meandering around the tree reading branch and twig in a somewhat haphazard manner, and even though the material might be already gathered for someone to read without having to spend months in research for it, it still will lack that cohesiveness that can make it all come alive and give to it that wonderful, exciting and yes, awe-inspiring flavor that makes you proud to be a part of it. So for this reason, I am also going to be writing a kind of family history syllabus, a way to organize your own travel through time in a way that I think will help make it easier for you and allow you to get more out of it. I hope that after me, some of you will take up the labor of love wherever it has been left off, and continue both to fill in the blanks of the tree, and help future generations organize the material into rational segments for better understanding and enjoyment. This is the first of these that I have in mind to do. It may be just because this is the way I have organized it in my own head, but I find it reasonable to start with the oldest group of our ancestors to come to America from somewhere else. I give you then, our Puritan era ancestors. Through the ancestry of my mother's great-grandfather, Joel Kenyen Palmer, our family reaches all the way back to some of the earliest settlers of New England, and includes a wide variety of people. We have some puritans who came for religious purposes, quakers, who came for the same ideal, and merchant men who came seeking to make a profit in the new world. Several of them are identified as being among the founders of present day towns, some of whose descendents still reside on original lands, or within a few miles of them, and others who, perhaps inheriting the same adventurous spirit of their forefathers, pressed ever westward, culminating in Joel Kenyen Palmer's settling in a gold rush town in Colorado. I have to mention that you could have knocked me over with a feather when I discovered that we had ancestors going back to the Pilgrim era. As it turns out, I have now spent a lot of time in this era, one for which I never really had more more than a passing interest before. But now I am finding the whole era completely fascinating, and the parts our ancestors played in it to be equally fascinating, and sometimes mind-boggling. Some of our ancestors were founding fathers of towns, Some were people who bucked the system (we seem to have quite a few of those actually,) some have wonderfully interesting stories associated with them, and some have brushed elbows with fame. I will leave the particulars to your own researches into our past, But to help you do that, here is an outline that I think will help you get started. I will update this information as I go along. The stories of some of these early settlers are well known, while others are almost non-existent. But all of them can be better appreciated in the context of at least some rudimentary knowledge of the times in which they lived, and of some of the other people around them, whether family, friend or neighbor. In giving you the story of the hstory of our family, I will try to present to you enough contextual information to provide flavor and make these people come alive for you, without giving you so much as to bore or overwhelm you. For those few of you who, like me, wish to delve into every scrap of information available, I have provided as attached stories to many of them, original and secondary source materials, so you don't have to spend time covering the same tracks as I have already done. Because of the limited way in which materials on Ancestry can be organized, I will be writing these "Study Aids" and attaching them to appropriate persons in the tree. Looking for story titles with (Family Study Aid) in the title, will help you sort through the myriad of things provided for you, and give you starting places, and hopefully help you with the flow of the overall story. Introduction Most People did not arrive here in a vacuum, they were part of groups, or became so early after arrival. As such, several of our ancestors are tied together by family bonds, or proximity of living, or the sharing of an endeavor. I think it would be helpful to study these groups as a coherent whole, rather than simply getting basic information on single individuals haphazardly. It occurs to me that this particular branch of our tree is really the story of the Palmer Line, beginning with the Progenitor, William Palmer, and ending with Joel Kenyen Palmer, whose daughter Rose Ella married into the Haines family, at which point we begin a whole other branch of the family. Through William Palmer's son, Christopher we get the Hilton's (who were actually here first.) Through Christopher's son, Samuel we get the Sanborns and the Bachillers (or Batchelders) Through Samuel's Son, Christopher we get the Berrys and the Lockes. Through Christopher's son, Jonathan we get the Rowes, the Swaines, the Websters and the Brewers. Through Jonathan's son, Simon we get the Loverings, of whome nothing is known at this time Through Simon's son, William we get the Haynes' of whom nothing is known at this time Through William's son, Joel Kenyen, we get the Lewis's, the Aikman's, the Hutchinson's, and others (Families I have yet to explore. They may or may not lead us back to this same era.) Through Joel Kenyen's daughter Rose Ella, we get the Haines' (A whole other branch of the tree, which will lead us back again to the late 1600's in New Jersey) Let's start with some Interesting Statistics For any given person there are: 2 Parents 1st Generation Ancestors 4 Grandparents 2nd Generation Ancestors 8 Great Grandparents 3rd Generation Ancestors 16 2nd Great Grandparents 4th Generation Ancestors 32 3rd Great Grandparents 5th Generation Ancestors 64 4th Great Grandparents 6th Generation Ancestors 128 5th Great Grandparents 7th Generation Ancestors 256 6th Great Grandparents 8th Generation Ancestors 512 7th Great Grandparents 9th Generation Ancestors 1024 8th Great Grandparents 10th Generation Ancestors 2048 9th Great Grandparents 11th Generation Ancestors 4096 10th Great Grandparents 12th Generation Ancestors For me this takes us back to approximately the time of the early beginnings of our country. In my particular case, disregarding the 3 genrations of my father's family of which I have rudimentary knowledge, we can pretty much eliminate half of this number. Tracking down my ancestors in Sicily will probably not be probable anytime soon.SO the number of possible 11th generation ancestors to be found is 1024. Considering we are beginning with Joel Kenyen Palmer, who is of the 4th generation from me, we can narrow the possible ancestors down even further. Counting from Joel, my 11th generation ancestors are his 7th generation ancestors, giving us only a possible 128 ancestors in that generation to account for.Since the line of his mother, Amanda Haynes, has not been traced, we can eliminate 64 of these right away. The line of his grandmother, Mary Lovering, has also not been traced, so we are left with only 32 possible ancestors in my 11th, his 7th, generation ancestors. I am still trying to find the right connection for Joel's 2nd Great Grandfather, Robert Rowe Jr. I believe that when this connection is discovered, they will be found to be a part of this era also. However, at the present time, we can eliminate the 8 ancestors that would result from that line, leaving us with only 24 People, or 12 couples, to deal with from my 11th line of ancestors. At the current time, I am only aware of one ancestor from the 12th generation, Rev. Stephen Bachellor, of whom much will be discussed during this history. Of the remaining 12 couples in the 11th generation, four couples did not migrate to America . The identities of two of these couples are unknown. They each had a daughter who was married and migrated with their husbands, and are part of the 10th generation progenitors. Two more of these are known, at least to some extent, but it was their sons, also 10th generation members, who made the trip across the sea to start a new life. The remaining eight couples are mostly known, except for the names of a few of the wives, and with one or two possible exceptions, made the crossing together, some with their children. One of them was a remarried widow who came with her second husband, bringing along her son to become the progenitor of the line, The other possible exception is the case of Edward Hilton, where it is not known if he brought his wife from England or married her after arrival. What we have then, are the following families: Edward Hilton, and his unknown wife, who may or may not have migrated with him in 1623. William Palmer and his wife, Mary Stamforth, who came around 1636 with children Martha and Christopher. Two other children had died in infancy. The Bachellor (Batchelder) party, of whom Ann Bachiller, widow of John Sanborn, is of the 11th generation. Her father, the very interesting Rev. Stephen Bachiller, is the only one of my 12th generation ancestors that I am aware of who migrated to America . This is not hard to believe, considering he was 72 years old at the time. With them were a number of Rev. Stephen's grandchildren, among whom was John Sanborn, Ann's son, later Leut. John Sanborn, who became the progenitor of the Sanborn line in America . Robert Tuck and his wife Joanna. Some poeple have her as the daughter of Rev. Stephen, but I do not believe this to be the case. Richard Swain and his wife, Elizabeth Basselle. William Marston and his wife, Sarah Goody. Thomas Brewer and his wife, who is stated on most of the trees at Ancestry to be Elizabeth Graves. I do not beleive this is accurate. Margery Webster Godfrey, widow of Thomas Webster, came with her second husband, ---Godfrey, and her son Thomas Webster, who became the progenitor of that line of Websters in America , which included the famous orator and statesman, Daniel Webster. William Berry (10th Generation.) and his wife, possibly Jane. Nathaniel Locke ((10th Generation) and his wife, Judith Hermins (Hemins, Hemming) These ten families, then, are the beginnings of our family in America . Let us start, then, with what we know of these ancestors who arrived in this country in New England during the Puritan Era. I. THe Hiltons of Dover Edward and William Hilton are claimed by some to be the first settlers of the State of New Hampshire. By virtue of someone else's house being completed a month or so before the Hiltons had theirs up, that claim to fame is officially given to another. Be that as it may, Edward Hilton is the very first of our currently known ancestors to set foot on American soil. He and his brother William arrived as early as 1622 or 1623, just two or three years after the arrival of the Pilgrims at Plymouth . To find out about the Hiltons, start with the story titled "Our First New England Ancestors, the Hiltons of Dover (A Family Study Aid)" attached to both Edward and William Hilton. II. Founders of the town of Hampton Quite a few of our ancestors came to be original grantees of land that resulted in the founding of Hampton , New Hampshire, or settled there at the beginning. The currently known ones are: Rev. Stephen Bachiler (my personal favorite ancestor, at least for this period) Christopher Hussey and his wife, Theodate Bachiler (Rev. Stephen's daughter) Leut.

He was one of the Hampton selectmen in 1667, 1671, 1673, 1679, 1683 and 1699, after which his sons, Nathaniel, the Deacon, and Major Peter take his place in town offices. He became active in the general affairs of the new province from 1680 onward, and was prominent, along with William Vaughan, Major Waldron and his son, Col. Richard Waldron, and Edward Gove, in opposition to the oppressive land-claims of Robert Mason, supported by the tyrannical royal governor, Edward Cranfield, from 1680 to 1686. In 1694 he was made one of the royal councilors of the province, and in the same year was appointed chief justice for two years. Being a large landholder, he was naturally included in the suits brought by Robert Mason in 1682-'83 against, first, his intimate friend, William Vaughan of Portsmouth, and soon after against the two Waldrons, John Gilman of Exeter, John Sanborn, brother-in-law of Christopher Hussey, John Pickering, and some twenty more, for the payment of annual rent on the lands they had held and lived on for forty years or more, under various grants from English corporations, colonies and New England towns. In 1684 these suits were extended to include more than one hundred landowners, large and small; and Cranfield, the governor, had enlisted his authority actively on the side of Mason, being induced thereto by a yearly fee of 'a3130 promised by Mason and secured by a mortgage of the expected rents. In December, 1682, Cranfield had written to the Lords of Trade and Plantations in London a true and moderate statement of affairs, containing these words: "Had I yielded to the violent course that Mason and Chamberlain urged, I should have greatly disturbed the people without promoting the King's interest. The attempt to settle the way of the Church of England here will be very grievous to the people, whatever Mr. Mason may have said. They are very diligent and devout in their own worship, very tenacious of it, and very grateful for the King's indulgence to them therein." But the bribe accepted from Mason turned Cranfield, who came over here for money, and was not getting so much as he expected, to the side of the oppressor, and the lawsuits soon began to alarm the people, both rich and poor. Edward Gove, an ancestor of mine and a neighbor of Weare in Seabrook, had been a member of the elective Assembly under Cranfield in 1682, and had refused, with the rest of the members, to pass Cranfield's revenue bills. The Assembly had been dissolved, in consequence, thus leaving the whole legislative and judicial power in the hands of Cranfield and his creatures, for he could remove and appoint councilors at his pleasure, and had so done. This gave him the opportunity to pack juries, and the prospect was that the suits brought by Mason would be won by him, and the hateful rents be collected. Gove, therefore, who had not the steadiness and wisdom of Weare (though he could spell rather better), broke out into an armed demonstration against the governor and his council. After consulting more or less with the Puritan ministers and magistrates, but against their advice, Gove (January 27, 1683) armed himself, his son, John Gove, and his servant, William Healey (ancestor of Judge Bell's wife) and started on horseback for Exeter, eight miles northward. Passing the house of Justice Weare, at what is now called "Fogg`s Corner," the prudent magistrate tried to stop him, and issued a warrant for his arrest. But Gove refused to be stopped, and in Exeter and Stratham he enlisted eight more men, three sons of Robert Wadleigh, a mill owner and leading man, Mark Baker, the ancestor, I suppose, of the celebrated Mrs. Eddy, Thomas Rawlings, John Sleeper, Edward Smith and John Young, -- together with a trumpeter, who escaped arrest, and whose name has not come down to us. All were armed and mounted, and most of them were young men. Taking the road to Old Hampton, they were met there by the foot-soldiers of the town, one of whose officers was John Sanborn, whose son had married Gove`s daughter, and were arrested under Weare`s warrant, making no resistance. Under this warrant he was taken to Great Island, now New Castle, where the province prison was; indicted by a grand jury hastily summoned, and tried by a special jury February 2, 1683, with Major Waldron as presiding justice. Gove and his followers were convicted of high treason under the indictment forced by Cranfield; and Gove, as the leader, was sentenced by Waldron to be hanged, drawn and quartered, "and your head and quarters disposed of at the king's pleasure." King Charles II had pleasures of different sorts, and did sometimes behead his Puritan enemies, but he was usually good natured, and when Edward Randolph, the great opponent of Puritan government in New England, carried my ancestor over to England in June, 1683, and lodged him in the Tower, along with Russell and Sidney, the king soon signified that Gove`s head and quarters might remain together; and he was pardoned two years after by James II, and took part in the government of New Hampshire along with Weare, after his return to Seabrook, where he died in his bed under William and Mary. But the rapacity of Cranfield and the weakness of Mason and Chamberlain, the secretary and prothonotary of the province, continued to alarm and exasperate the inhabitants, who, with the exception of a small minority, were against the governor and his supporters, Mason, Walter Barefoot, Henry Green (a next neighbor to Weare in Hampton Falls) and a few others. On the subsequent proceedings Judge Bell says: The people were thoroughly roused and alarmed. Consultations were privately held, and arrangements made to send an agent to England to make complaint to the King against Cranfield and Mason for their oppressive conduct. Money was collected to defray the expense, and petitions drawn up and circulated in the four towns, which very strongly indicate the fears entertained by the people, of the oppressions of the government. They set forth in very general terms their first settlement under the encouragement of letters patent to the Council of Plymouth, by purchase or consent of the natives, and the difficulties they had met with. They say that by the unreasonable conduct of Mason "and sundry other reasons that are either effects or concomitants thereof" they are in a worse condition than any of the other plantations, and reduced to confusions and extremities. They therefore pray His Majesty "to give leave to Mr. Nathaniel Weare, one of ourselves, whom we have sent for that end, to spread before your sacred Majesty, and your most honorable Privy Council, our deplorable estate, the beholding of which we doubt not will move compassion towards, and your Majesty's propensity to justice will incline to the using of such means as to your wisdom shall seem best, that the oppressed may be relieved, the wronged ones righted, and we, your Majesty's almost undone subjects, now prostrate at your feet, may, upon the tasting of your equity and goodness be raised" etc. This petition was signed at Exeter by 34, at Hampton by 67, at Portsmouth by 60 and at Dover by 56 of the principal inhabitants of those towns. The arrangements being completed, Mr. Weare privately withdrew to Boston, and sailed for England in February, 1684. Major Vaughan accompanied him to Boston and was appointed to procure depositions and other evidence to send after him. They evidently did not dare to apply for copies of records, or to take depositions in the Province, until their agent was beyond the reach of the government. Mr. Weare was doubtless a very wise selection as agent, being a grave and magisterial person, who in the affairs of Gove had stood on the side of law and order, and was of that gentlemanly bearing which at that time, and indeed at all times, is so impressive to Englishmen, among whom he was born and in whose native Devonshire he probably had relatives who could vouch for him. He carried money, without which nothing could be done or attempted at the court of the Stuarts, and he doubtless gained the ear of Lord Halifax, who had rendered King Charles good service in the matter of defeating the Exclusion Bill (to shut out James II from the succession), but who was a keen opponent of tyranny. He was in 1684 president of the privy council, and before him, in July, 1684, Weare presented his petitions, complaints and evidences. These have mostly been printed. The originals of a few of the printed pages exist among the Weare papers found in Doctor Cram's possession last year, and which I quoted in the GRANITE MONTHLY for January, 1909. They probably existed in a less fragmentary form in the house of Nathaniel Weare (fifth of that name in America) at Deerfield, at the very time Judge Bell was writing his account, three years before that house was sold to Doctor Cram's father (in 1869), with all these papers lying perdue in the garret. Alluding to them, Judge Bell said: "It is to be regretted that the papers of Mr. Weare have passed beyond the reach of inquirers in the only state where such inquiries are likely to be prosecuted. They are supposed to be in the Collections of the New York Historical Society." Some of them seem to have stuck with Doctor Belknap, who used them, and others with his friend, Mr. Hazard of Philadelphia; but a few had disappeared before they came into the hands of President Weare, at the death of his father. Deacon Nathaniel, in March, 1755. Judge Bell goes on: The Hampton records, there is no doubt, were taken and carried by Mr. Weare to Boston, before he went to England, for fear of their falling into the hands of Mason and Cranfield. Soon after his return In 1685, if not earlier, warrants were issued for his arrest, to answer the charge of embezzling the records of Hampton; and he was subjected to a fine of 'a350. A hearing in London was had upon Mr. Weare's complaint, on Tuesday, March 10th, 1685, before the Lords of Trade, who reported to the King on the articles of the complaints which alleged That Cranfield had not pursued his instructions with regard to Mason's controversy, but instead thereof had caused courts to be held and titles to be decided. with exorbitant costs; and that he had exceeded his powers in regulating the value of coins. This report was approved by King James on the 8th of April, 1685, and signified to Cranfield by command of the king. It would seem that the decision of titles in Cranfield`s courts was represented by Halifax as extrajudicial, and a royal order issued to suspend further proceedings in the matter of Mason till it should be brought before the king in council. The actual rebuke to Cranfield by Halifax (April 28, 1685) was in these words: You have not pursued your instructions in reference to the propriety of the soil which Robert Mason, Esq., claims in the Province of New Hampshire. You were instructed, in case the inhabitants should refuse to agree with the said Mason, that you should interpose and endeavor to reconcile all differences; which if you could not effect, you were then to send to His Majesty such cases, fairly and impartially stated, together with your opinion, for His Majesty's determination. Instead whereof, you have caused courts to be held in New Hampshire, and permitted titles to lands to be decided there, and unreasonable costs to be allowed. A sample of these costs appears in this certified copy of Walter Barefoot's charges in a suit against Richard Martyn, in 1683, the very year when these eases were put upon trial and decided against Waldron, Vaughan, Weare, etc. Cranfield, in the meantime, had prudently foreseen the evil day and withdrawn to Barbadoes and Jamaica, under a leave of absence, in June, 1685. In November, 1683, when informed by Halifax that Edward Gove was not to be executed, but "continued in the Tower," where he stayed at King James' cost until March, 1686, Cranfield wrote that "the news of Gove`s pardon has had a very ill effect on the people"; who, when pursued by the marshals for rents and taxes, rose and repelled force with force. Eight months later Randolph, then in London, had written to a Boston friend (July 26, 1684)," Wyre hath lately put in articles against Mr. Cranfield, which render him here a very ill man, and in time will do his business.'' And it was the influence of Nathaniel Weare through Halifax and others in England, which caused the release of Gove and the retirement of Cranfield. Randolph, who had much good sense mingled with perversity and time-serving, wrote in March, 1685, that any man who went over to govern New Hampshire to make his own selfish fortune will ``disserve the King, disappoint himself and utterly ruin that country." He added: They are a great body of people, sober and industrious, and in time of war able to drive the French out of all their American dominions. Cranfield by his arbitrary proceedings, has so harassed that poor people that, although they had cause to complain of the hard usage of the Boston governors, yet they have greater reason now to pray an alteration, and wish to be again under the Bostoners. This was true, but when the day of decision came, in 1692, as between remaining a province or coming under Massachusetts again, Councilor Weare appears to have settled the affair, so far as Hampton was concerned, by waiting for a new charter. His language, like Sir Henry Vane's, is so perplexed that it is hard to make the meaning out, but the effect was against "trotting after the Bay horse." The provincial government was in fact continued, only one governor was to have by royal appointment the general powers of governor, both in New Hampshire and Massachusetts, from 1692 to 1741, when Benning Wentworth succeeded Belcher as governor of New Hampshire. Under this establishment it was that Mr. Weare became councilor and chief justice, and he continued in public activity till a few years before his death, at the age of eighty seven, in May, 1718. The suits of the claimants under John Mason's grant of New Hampshire continued, however, till after Councilor Weare`s death, and were never finally settled by distinct decree, either of a New Hampshire court or by act of the privy council in England. During these suits, lasting some forty years, various forged papers were put in, the most famous of which was the Indian deed to Wheelwright and others (one of them my ancestor, Thomas Leavitt) who died without knowledge of any such grant. Among the Weare papers I find a mysterious document which I suspect to be (in part at least) one of these convenient forgeries, intended in some way to counteract the Mason claims. It must have been in the hands of Councilor Nathaniel Weare, I believe, but if so, he may have had no knowledge of its real character. It runs thus, bearing dates from 1669 to 1722: The Champernoun Deed Of Old And New Farms This indenture, made the seven and twentieth day of March in the one and twentieth year of the reign of our sovereign Lord Charles the Second, by the grace of God of England, Scotland, France and Ireland King, Defender of the Faith etc. Between Capt.

By Champernown himself and Waldron, the grantor's name is spelled as he spelled it; elsewhere it is spelled as pronounced, ow being then sounded like oo, -- thus ``Cowley'' was pronounced "Cooley." I see no natural relation of this paper to Councilor Nathaniel Weare. When this agent of the New Hampshire planters went to England for the first time -- for he and his friend Vaughan went again in 1686-'87 -- he seems to have given some of his land in trust to his son Nathaniel, who in youth was called "Ensign" and in later life "Deacon." This may have been for fear of defeat and confiscation, as in the case of his neighbor, Gove, whose release from the Tower Weare must have promoted. After his second return from England, the town of Hampton, then the most populous of the four towns, though not the wealthiest, voted (June 19, 1689) "to raise 'a3.75 in silver to pay the expense of sending Messrs. William Vaughan and Nathaniel Weare to England; and for other expenses in a course of law in defence of proprietary interests." The cost of the first and more important agency is not certainly known, but was probably 'a3.150. [Ed. note: The text of this letter does not appear in this article] In 1706, Councilor Nathaniel, being seventy-five years old, and Ensign Nathaniel thirty-seven, the son executed an agreement to support his father and mother in their infirm age, which ran as follows: To all Christian people to whom these presents shall come: Know ye that whereas I, Nath'll Weare Junior, of Hampton in the Province of New Hampshier, having received a deed of gift of house, barn and orchard, and several pieces of land specified in said deed which deed bears date of; 25 of October, 1706, of my honored father, Nath.ll Weare Esq.: Now be it known to all men by these presents that I, Nath'll Weare Junior, do covenant, promise and engage to my honored father Nath'll Weare Esq., and to my mother, Elizabeth Weare that I will be careful, and faithfully endeavor for their comfort and honorable maintenance during the time of their natural lives in manner as followeth, viz. My said father possessing and enjoying house, barn and orchard, with planting-land and pastuer, as he does usually make use of for sowing and planting and pastuer, I will find a man or suitable help to the improvement thereof for the use of my said father and mother, and for the keeping of the stock of Cattle to have half of the hay of the grass that yearly grows on the marsh and meadow specified in the deed I received of my said father, as also on the eight acres he have reserved for his son Peter, until he shall see cause to dispose of it to him: and further, if by the providence of the Almighty my said father should be so aged and weak, being incapable to look after his affairs, that he shall see cause to surrender the whole of the premises specified in the said deed, of gift into my hands: then I promise and engage to provide suitable and honorable maintenance and help the time of their natural lives. And if it should please God that my said mother should outlive my said father Weare, my mother is to have and shall enjoy one room in the dwelling house, (which room she shall please to choose), and keeping of two cows, winter and summer, and half the orchard, and 40 shillings a year and every year if she shall desire it, during her natural life. I also promise and engage that I will bring home or cause to be brought my father's hay yearly and every year, and supply them with convenient firewood during the time of their natural lives. To the particulars and promises herein mentioned I bind myself, my heirs and administrators truly to perform; and if it should please God that I should die before my said father, and myself or my heirs and administrators should not perform the articles herein mentioned, it shall be lawful for my said father to reenter on these lands specified in the deed of gift to me from my father; myself or my successors being paid the charge that I or my successors shall be at. In confirmation of the above said promises I have hereunto set my hand and affixed my seal this 26th of October 1706, and in the fifth year of her Majesty's reign. Nath'll Weare Junior (Seal.)

Commissioned Lieutenant of Hampton forces, October 15, 1679, (Mass. Col. Rec. v. 252) All the American Sanborns SANBORN are descended from three brothers who settled in Hampton in 1639. The surname is derived from the Anglo-Saxon words Sand and Burn (a stream), evidently a place-name before it became a family name, and it seems probable that the English progenitors who first used Sambourne, the original form of Sanborn, as their surname, were in Sambourne, in Wiltshire. The earliest mention of the name in England, in 1194, gives it de Sandburne, but as early as 1330 it is commonly spelled Samborne and Sambourne, and since the fourteenth century these two forms have been the accepted spelling in England, the only two surviving branches in that country using them. The American progenitors spelled the name Samborn and Samborne, but gradually the name has been changed to Sanborn, the form accepted generally by almost all of the American descendants. In Illinois it is spelled Sanborn, and in Michigan, Sandburn. The Sanborn or Sambourne coat-of-arms: Argent, a chevron sable, between three mullets gules, pierced or. Crest: A mullet as in the arms. The Sambourne ancestry has been traced by V. C. Sanborn, compiler of the genealogy, to Nicholas Sambourne, of Wiltshire, in 1320. Nicholas Sambourne was born about 1320; probably held the fourth part of a knight's fee in Biddestone, St. Nicholas, Wiltshire ; represented Bath City at the parliament held at Westminster November 3, 1391. His son, Nicholas Sambourne Jr., was born about 1350, held the fourth part of a knight's fee, mentioned above; was in parliament in 1393-94; married Katherine, youngest daughter and co-heir of Sir John Lushill, or De Lusteshull, who was connected with the House of Lancaster. A grandson. Walter Sambourne, born 1420, held Fernham and Lushill manors, but probably lived at Southcot House, near Reading, Berkshire; married Margaret, daughter of Thomas Drew, of Seagry, Wiltshire; she died in 1494. and her will is extant. Nicholas Sambourne, son of Walter and Margaret Sambornc, was born about 1450, and made his home in Mapledurham, Oxfordshire ; married Elizabeth, daughter of John Brocas, of Beaurepaire, Hampshire; descendant of an ancient and honorable family, from which she inherited considerable property, including Timsbury, which the Sambornes occupied. Timsbury House, now the most ancient Samborne residence in England, is celebrated for the interesting and artistic Tudor architecture. The house to-day is practically unchanged since 1542 except for minor alterations and repairs, and the loss of one wing by fire. The probable line of descent from this Nicholas to the American immigrants is given by the family historian as: Nicholas Samborne, born 1500; Edward, born about 1550; William, married Anne Bachiler, and was of Brimpton, Berkshire, in 1616, their sons Lieutenant John (mentioned below), William and Stephen being the three American immigrants. (I) Lieutenant John, son of William and Anne (Bachiler) Sanborn, of England, was born in England, in 1620. He appears in Hampton in 1640, when he was granted a house lot and tract of land there. He was a man of prominence in Hampton, was selectman many years; was often on committees to examine grants and establish boundaries; was many times on the jury, and foreman of the grand jury in 1676; was ensign of the Hampton company in 1677, and commissioned lieutenant October 15, 1679; was representative to the general court in 1685. He was one of the sufferers in the Cranfield and Mason persecutions, and was imprisoned for resisting the claims of Mason. He died October 20, 1692, and his estate was inventoried November 2, 1692, at two hundred ninety-four pounds fourteen shillings. He married (first) Mary, daughter of Robert Tuck, of Gorlston, Suffolk and Hampton, New Hampshire. She died December 30, 1668, and he married (second) Margaret, widow of William Moulton, and daughter of Robert Page, of OrmsBy, 'Norfolk and Hampton, New Hampshire. Children of first wife: 1.

CHAPTER XXXIV HAMPTON Geographical-The First Settlement-Names of Early Settlers-Documentary History-Witchcraft-Tea Act Resolves--Revolutionary Soldiers- Soldiers of 1861-5-Ecclesiastical. Hampton is located on the coast, and is bounded as follows: on the north by North Hampton, on the east by the Atlantic Ocean, and on the south and west By Hampton Falls. The surface is level and the soil fertile. The area is about eight thousand acres. The population in 1910 was 1,215. Hampton is connected by electric railways to Exeter, Amesbury and to Portsmouth via Rye Beach. The Town of Hampton was incorporated May 22, 1639, by a "court holden at Boston." It had previously been called Winnacunnet, but the court ordered that it "shall be called Hampton." It embraced, in addition to its present territory, the present towns of North Hampton, Hampton Falls, Seabrook, Kensington, and South Hampton, having an area of about forty-five thousand five hundred acres. It was originally a portion of Massachusetts, and remained as such until 1680, when it was joined to New Hampshire. The settlement of this ancient town dates back to 1638, when the Rev. Stephen Batchelor and a company of adventurous pioneers located upon its fertile lands. Johnson, in his "Wonder-Working Providence," which was the first his- tory of New England ever published, in referring to the settlement here, says: "Much about this time ( 1638) began the town of Hampton, in the county of Norfolk, to have the foundation-stone laid, situate near the sea coast not far from the famous River of Merrimack, the great store of salt marsh did intice the people to set down their habitation there, for as yet Cowes and Cattell of their kinde were not come to the great downfall in their price, of which they have about 450 head; and for the form of the Town it is like a Flower de luce, two streets of houses wheeling off from the main body thereof; the land is fertile, but filled with swamps and some store of rocks, the people are about 60 Families, being gathered together in Church cove- nant, they called to office the reverend, grave, and gracious Mr. Doulton, hav- ing also for some little space of time the more ancient Mr. Batchelder to preach unto them also; here take a short remembrance for the other : Page 440 "Doultori doth teach perspicuously and sound, With wholesome truths of Christ thy flock doth feed. Thy honor with thy labor doth abound, Age crownes thy head, in righteousness' proceed To battle downe, root up, and quite destroy All Heresies and Errors that drew back Unto perdition, and Christ's flocks annoy; To warre for him those weapons dost not lack. Long days to see that long'd for day to come Of Babel's fan and Israel's quiet peace; Thou yet maist live of days so great a sum, To see this work let not thy warrfare cease." This was the "one and twentieth town" settled within the bounds of the ancient County of Norfolk. In 1636 Massachusetts, with a view of securing the valuable meadows in this vicinity, empowered Mr. Drummond and John Spencer, of Newbury, to build a "bound house" here at the expense of the colony. It was built in 1638, the architect being Nicholas Easton, who subsequently removed to Rhode Island and erected the first English house in Newport. This "bound house" was the first structure erected by whites within the bounds of the ancient town. ( See Hampton Falls. ) The following is a list of the first settlers who accompanied Mr. Batchelor: John Browne, Christopher Hussey, Edmund Johnson, Robert Pucke, Thomas Jones, Robert Saunderson, James Davis, Richard Swaine, Samuel Green- field, ,Abraham Perkins, Francis Peabody, Philemon Dalton, John Huggins, Jeoffrey Mingay, Thomas and John Moulton, William Palmer, Thomas Marston, William Eastowe, Lieut. William Hayward, Isaac Perkins, Wil- liam WakefieJd, William Fifield, Moses Cox, Thomas King, Anthony Taylor, Thomas Ward, Silas Fuller, William Satmders, Daniel .Hendrick, John Wedgewood, Thomas Chase, William Fuller, Robert Carwell, John Cross, William Sargent, and Arthur Clark. The following were here the second summer of the settlement: Robert Page, Joseph Austin, John Philbrick, Walter Roper, William Marston. Joseph Smith, William English, Henry Ambrose, and William Parker. The following additional settlers are found in 1643: James Davis, Jr., William Marston, Jr., William and Stephen Sanborn, A. Chase, Edward Tucke, Francis Swaine, Thomas Linnet, John Sanborn, William Huntington, and Richard Knight. Earley Settlers.-Henry Ambrose was granted lands in 1640. He assisted in building the'first pound in the town. It stood on the meeting-house green. Francis Austin was one of the earliest proprietors of Hampton. He was here in 1741. He had two children, Isarella and Jemima. Isabella married Philip Towle, and was charged with being a witch. George Aborne was here prior to 1650. The name was sometimes spelled Eborne, or Ebourne. Rev. Stephen Bachiler. Lieut. John Sanborn, with his brothers Stephen and William, came to Hampton in 1640. His mother was a daughter of the Rev. Stephen Bachiler. Lieut. Sanborn was an active, influential citizen, and was chosen to various positions of trust and responsibility. He was one of the most strenuous opponents of the Masonian claim and of Cranfield's administration. He was a signer to Weare's petition to the king in 1683. In October, 1683, Robert Mason, Sherlock, the marshal, and James Leach came to Sanborn's house in order to give Mason house possession, when Sanborn not opening the door . Leach by the marshal's order broke it open, and gave Mason possession. Mr , Sherlock took Sanborn prisoner, when Mason openly told the people "that is what you shall all come to." Page 444 In 1683, Cranfield brought an action against Sanborn for saying, "I ques- tion whether ever the King knew of his, the said Edward Cranfield's, commis- sion or patent." His four sons-Richard, Josiah, John, and Joseph-were signers to Weare's petition. Stephen Sanborn was a brother of John and William, and came to Hamp- ton with them. William Sanborn, brother of the above named, was also an active citizen. Cranfield & Mason persecutions Province of New Hampshire, Dominion of New England, Massachusetts Again: 1680-92 By the late 1670's Charles II was free enough from problems in England and Europe to begin to implement his colonial policies. Thereafter the New England colonies, which had been saved from direct royal interference by events in England, were bound closer and closer to the London government and exposed to the consequences of England's policies on the Continent. Charles II created the Royal Provinces of New Hampshire, effective January 1, 1680, partly to weaken Massachusetts and partly to help Robert Tufton Mason, Mason's heir, assert his claim to land in New Hampshire, which had been granted to his grandfather, John Mason. At first the change in government was felt in Exeter mainly because Mason's heir was able to reassert his land claims. The English courts and the king agreed that Mason had never had a valid claim to rule in New Hampshire, but had upheld his rights to the land granted to him. His heir was directed to pursue them in the New Hampshire courts. He got nowhere while the New Hampshire government was controlled by local landowners, as it was until 1682. Then Mason persuaded the Royal Government to send Edward Cranfield to New Hampshire as governor, after he had mortgaged the potential revenues from his land claims to Cranfield. At the same time the new governor used the broad powers granted to him by the Royal Charter to pack the local courts and seems to have thereafter won all the suits brought against those in possession of lands claimed by Mason. The landowners who lost their cases (sixteen of them in Exeter alone) were supposed to pay a quit rent of six shillings per pound of revenue from the land (at a time when four shillings was considered exorbitant) or be foreclosed. However, Cranfield was never able to collect a penny in rent and was never able to find buyers for the foreclosed property. In 1683, Governor Cranfield dissolved the Provincial Assembly (Exeter had two members and twenty qualified voters), and some rash Exeter and Hampton men, led by Edward Gove of Hampton, tried and failed to raise a revolt against him. Next, Cranfield suspended three councilors, including John Gilman of Exeter, and tried to raise money through an illegal tax. His attempts to collect the tax met with resistance throughout the province. In Exeter Constable John Folsom refused to cooperate, threatening the provost marshal of the province, who tried to collect the tax, with red-hot spits and scalding water if he tried to collect at his house. Two Gilman wives let the marshal know that they too would greet him with hot water, and a crowd hustled both him and his deputy from house to house until they left empty-handed. Governor Cranfield, discouraged by his failure to recoup his finances, left for England in 1685. He was followed as governor in quick succession by Walter Barefoote and Joseph Dudley. In 1686, however, James II, Charle's successor, included New Hampshire in the Dominion of New England. The Dominion collapsed in 1689 with the news that James had been replaced by his daughter Mary II and her husband William III. For a brief time New Hampshire had no central government; then it voluntarily became part of Massachusetts again; and finally William and Mary established it as a separate province once again in 1692. During this turbulent period, Exeter continued to grow. By 1680 the little twenty-by-twenty church had been enlarged by three galleries. the beloved Samuel Dudley died in 1683 and could not be replaced with a permanent minister until 1694. Not much else is known about events in Exeter because the town records between 1682 and December 1689 are missing. Those records that remain for the eighties and early nineties are primarily concerned with land allotments and the same activities of the town government as reflected in earlier years. Served in King William's War JOHN SANBORNE John Sanborn or John Samborne (as it was spelled then) came to America with his two brothers and his maternal grandfather from Berkshire, England, in 1632. They settled in Hampton, New Hampshire, and John's grandfather, Stephen Bachiller, became a minister there. John Samborne grew up to be a selectman in Hampton. He served as Lieutenant in the King William's War in 1689. His first wife, Mary Tuck, died in 1668 and he remarried. John died on October 20, 1692. Two generations later the name was changed to Sanborn. Our Puritan Era Ancestory (A Family Study Aid) Our Puritan Era Ancestory (A Family Study Aid) May 26, 2009 Dear Family and other interested readers, I have been working on our family history now for about four or five years. It is nowhere near complete. However it is beginning to take shape enough to see the wonderful story emerging. Genealogy is more (or should be) than a simple listing of names, dates and places. Looking at a list of 'begats' doesn't really do a lot to give you that sense of awe you get when you actually know the stories of the individuals, the pride you feel for yourself when you find ancestors who did extroadinary things, or just lived an ordinary life in an extraordinary way. Once you begin delving into it, you find your people coming alive right before your eyes, and if you are particularly lucky, you can even find a few that you get to know so well you can almost feel you actually had. It seems to me the vast majority of those delving into family history are mostly concerned with simply finding the next generation back, and certainly this can be highly pleasing and exciting when it occurs, especially if one has been looking for a particular connection for a long time. But the excitement really starts mounting when you start delving into the personal stories of these people whose lives on earth resulted in your own. So over time I have been reading stories, and reading between the lines of recorded life data to see more than just a name, date and place for a given individual. I am completely enamored of our family, and proud to be descended from some of the most colorful, independent, and forward thinking people one could imagine. But I have had to piece all my gleanings together over time, reading of one person here and another there and going back to people time and again to get all there is to know. This has been a time consuming process, not only to see the sories emerging of the individual players in the saga, but to piece together the fabric of the times in which they lived in order to get the full and total flavor of story of our existence. I wish to make the journey for those of you who follow much easier and more exciting. There is no reason for you to have to retrace MY steps and spend precious time gathering data and narratives which I already have done. So as I have found pertinent information I have attached it to relevent people and familes, and have written my own additional thoughts and conjectures where appropriate and relevent. However, it occurs to me that this is not really enough. Someone just embarking on the journey will have no particular place to start, and may end up meandering around the tree reading branch and twig in a somewhat haphazard manner, and even though the material might be already gathered for someone to read without having to spend months in research for it, it still will lack that cohesiveness that can make it all come alive and give to it that wonderful, exciting and yes, awe-inspiring flavor that makes you proud to be a part of it. So for this reason, I am also going to be writing a kind of family history syllabus, a way to organize your own travel through time in a way that I think will help make it easier for you and allow you to get more out of it. I hope that after me, some of you will take up the labor of love wherever it has been left off, and continue both to fill in the blanks of the tree, and help future generations organize the material into rational segments for better understanding and enjoyment. This is the first of these that I have in mind to do. It may be just because this is the way I have organized it in my own head, but I find it reasonable to start with the oldest group of our ancestors to come to America from somewhere else. I give you then, our Puritan era ancestors. Through the ancestry of my mother's great-grandfather, Joel Kenyen Palmer, our family reaches all the way back to some of the earliest settlers of New England, and includes a wide variety of people. We have some puritans who came for religious purposes, quakers, who came for the same ideal, and merchant men who came seeking to make a profit in the new world. Several of them are identified as being among the founders of present day towns, some of whose descendents still reside on original lands, or within a few miles of them, and others who, perhaps inheriting the same adventurous spirit of their forefathers, pressed ever westward, culminating in Joel Kenyen Palmer's settling in a gold rush town in Colorado. I have to mention that you could have knocked me over with a feather when I discovered that we had ancestors going back to the Pilgrim era. As it turns out, I have now spent a lot of time in this era, one for which I never really had more more than a passing interest before. But now I am finding the whole era completely fascinating, and the parts our ancestors played in it to be equally fascinating, and sometimes mind-boggling. Some of our ancestors were founding fathers of towns, Some were people who bucked the system (we seem to have quite a few of those actually,) some have wonderfully interesting stories associated with them, and some have brushed elbows with fame. I will leave the particulars to your own researches into our past, But to help you do that, here is an outline that I think will help you get started. I will update this information as I go along. The stories of some of these early settlers are well known, while others are almost non-existent. But all of them can be better appreciated in the context of at least some rudimentary knowledge of the times in which they lived, and of some of the other people around them, whether family, friend or neighbor. In giving you the story of the hstory of our family, I will try to present to you enough contextual information to provide flavor and make these people come alive for you, without giving you so much as to bore or overwhelm you. For those few of you who, like me, wish to delve into every scrap of information available, I have provided as attached stories to many of them, original and secondary source materials, so you don't have to spend time covering the same tracks as I have already done. Because of the limited way in which materials on Ancestry can be organized, I will be writing these "Study Aids" and attaching them to appropriate persons in the tree. Looking for story titles with (Family Study Aid) in the title, will help you sort through the myriad of things provided for you, and give you starting places, and hopefully help you with the flow of the overall story. Introduction Most People did not arrive here in a vacuum, they were part of groups, or became so early after arrival. As such, several of our ancestors are tied together by family bonds, or proximity of living, or the sharing of an endeavor. I think it would be helpful to study these groups as a coherent whole, rather than simply getting basic information on single individuals haphazardly. It occurs to me that this particular branch of our tree is really the story of the Palmer Line, beginning with the Progenitor, William Palmer, and ending with Joel Kenyen Palmer, whose daughter Rose Ella married into the Haines family, at which point we begin a whole other branch of the family. Through William Palmer's son, Christopher we get the Hilton's (who were actually here first.) Through Christopher's son, Samuel we get the Sanborns and the Bachillers (or Batchelders) Through Samuel's Son, Christopher we get the Berrys and the Lockes. Through Christopher's son, Jonathan we get the Rowes, the Swaines, the Websters and the Brewers. Through Jonathan's son, Simon we get the Loverings, of whome nothing is known at this time Through Simon's son, William we get the Haynes' of whom nothing is known at this time Through William's son, Joel Kenyen, we get the Lewis's, the Aikman's, the Hutchinson's, and others (Families I have yet to explore. They may or may not lead us back to this same era.) Through Joel Kenyen's daughter Rose Ella, we get the Haines' (A whole other branch of the tree, which will lead us back again to the late 1600's in New Jersey) Let's start with some Interesting Statistics For any given person there are: 2 Parents 1st Generation Ancestors 4 Grandparents 2nd Generation Ancestors 8 Great Grandparents 3rd Generation Ancestors 16 2nd Great Grandparents 4th Generation Ancestors 32 3rd Great Grandparents 5th Generation Ancestors 64 4th Great Grandparents 6th Generation Ancestors 128 5th Great Grandparents 7th Generation Ancestors 256 6th Great Grandparents 8th Generation Ancestors 512 7th Great Grandparents 9th Generation Ancestors 1024 8th Great Grandparents 10th Generation Ancestors 2048 9th Great Grandparents 11th Generation Ancestors 4096 10th Great Grandparents 12th Generation Ancestors For me this takes us back to approximately the time of the early beginnings of our country. In my particular case, disregarding the 3 genrations of my father's family of which I have rudimentary knowledge, we can pretty much eliminate half of this number. Tracking down my ancestors in Sicily will probably not be probable anytime soon.SO the number of possible 11th generation ancestors to be found is 1024. Considering we are beginning with Joel Kenyen Palmer, who is of the 4th generation from me, we can narrow the possible ancestors down even further. Counting from Joel, my 11th generation ancestors are his 7th generation ancestors, giving us only a possible 128 ancestors in that generation to account for.Since the line of his mother, Amanda Haynes, has not been traced, we can eliminate 64 of these right away. The line of his grandmother, Mary Lovering, has also not been traced, so we are left with only 32 possible ancestors in my 11th, his 7th, generation ancestors. I am still trying to find the right connection for Joel's 2nd Great Grandfather, Robert Rowe Jr. I believe that when this connection is discovered, they will be found to be a part of this era also. However, at the present time, we can eliminate the 8 ancestors that would result from that line, leaving us with only 24 People, or 12 couples, to deal with from my 11th line of ancestors. At the current time, I am only aware of one ancestor from the 12th generation, Rev. Stephen Bachellor, of whom much will be discussed during this history. Of the remaining 12 couples in the 11th generation, four couples did not migrate to America . The identities of two of these couples are unknown. They each had a daughter who was married and migrated with their husbands, and are part of the 10th generation progenitors. Two more of these are known, at least to some extent, but it was their sons, also 10th generation members, who made the trip across the sea to start a new life. The remaining eight couples are mostly known, except for the names of a few of the wives, and with one or two possible exceptions, made the crossing together, some with their children. One of them was a remarried widow who came with her second husband, bringing along her son to become the progenitor of the line, The other possible exception is the case of Edward Hilton, where it is not known if he brought his wife from England or married her after arrival. What we have then, are the following families: Edward Hilton, and his unknown wife, who may or may not have migrated with him in 1623. William Palmer and his wife, Mary Stamforth, who came around 1636 with children Martha and Christopher. Two other children had died in infancy. The Bachellor (Batchelder) party, of whom Ann Bachiller, widow of John Sanborn, is of the 11th generation. Her father, the very interesting Rev. Stephen Bachiller, is the only one of my 12th generation ancestors that I am aware of who migrated to America . This is not hard to believe, considering he was 72 years old at the time. With them were a number of Rev. Stephen's grandchildren, among whom was John Sanborn, Ann's son, later Leut. John Sanborn, who became the progenitor of the Sanborn line in America . Robert Tuck and his wife Joanna. Some poeple have her as the daughter of Rev. Stephen, but I do not believe this to be the case. Richard Swain and his wife, Elizabeth Basselle. William Marston and his wife, Sarah Goody. Thomas Brewer and his wife, who is stated on most of the trees at Ancestry to be Elizabeth Graves. I do not beleive this is accurate. Margery Webster Godfrey, widow of Thomas Webster, came with her second husband, ---Godfrey, and her son Thomas Webster, who became the progenitor of that line of Websters in America , which included the famous orator and statesman, Daniel Webster. William Berry (10th Generation.) and his wife, possibly Jane. Nathaniel Locke ((10th Generation) and his wife, Judith Hermins (Hemins, Hemming) These ten families, then, are the beginnings of our family in America . Let us start, then, with what we know of these ancestors who arrived in this country in New England during the Puritan Era. I. THe Hiltons of Dover Edward and William Hilton are claimed by some to be the first settlers of the State of New Hampshire. By virtue of someone else's house being completed a month or so before the Hiltons had theirs up, that claim to fame is officially given to another. Be that as it may, Edward Hilton is the very first of our currently known ancestors to set foot on American soil. He and his brother William arrived as early as 1622 or 1623, just two or three years after the arrival of the Pilgrims at Plymouth . To find out about the Hiltons, start with the story titled "Our First New England Ancestors, the Hiltons of Dover (A Family Study Aid)" attached to both Edward and William Hilton. II. Founders of the town of Hampton Quite a few of our ancestors came to be original grantees of land that resulted in the founding of Hampton , New Hampshire, or settled there at the beginning. The currently known ones are: Rev. Stephen Bachiler (my personal favorite ancestor, at least for this period) Christopher Hussey and his wife, Theodate Bachiler (Rev. Stephen's daughter) Leut. John Sanborn and his brothers William and Stephen, (Whose mother was Ann Bachiler, daughter of rev. Stephen. She never came to America , as far as we know.) and his wife Mary Tuck. Robert Tuck, whose daughter married Leut. John Sanborn, and his wife, Joanna, who is NOT a bachiler until it's proven to me, despite what you will see in other trees.) Christopher Palmer, and his wife Susanna Hilton Edward Hilton (wife unknown) father of Susannah Richard Swain (of Ormsby) and his wife Elizabeth (who later were among the founders of Nantucket Island) William Swain (Sr.) and his wife Prudence Marston William Swain (Jr.) and his wife, Mary Webster Thomas Webster (of Ormsby) and his mother Margery Webster Godfrey Late comers to Hampton: Robert Rowe, who married Mahetable Swayne (Swain) daugher of William and Mary, and whose daughter Abigail married Jonathan Palmer, son of Christopher and Elizabeth Berry. Lines linked by Marriage: William Moulton and His wife, Margaret Page (of Ormsby) whose son Joseph married Bethia Swain, sister to William Swain and daughter to Richard Swain John Moulton and his wife (of Ormsby) whose son Henry married Sobriety Hilton, Sister of Susannah and Daughter of Edward Hilton To get the story of these people, start with the story titled "The Founders of Hampton, NH, (A Family Study Aid)" attached to Rev. Stephen Batchelder others. [Note to people attaching this story to their own trees: I expect this story to be updated frequently. Check back often, or leave me a comment if you would like to be notified when it is updated.] Written by Katrina Haney as an introduction and study aid for those wishing to learn more of our family history.

BarrettFrom Joseph Dow's History of New Hampshire we have the following on the ancestry in England: William Sambourne of Sunning, Oxfordshire, was born about 1390. He married Anne, daughter and heir of Sir William Lushell, Kent. Children: William, born about 1420. John, born about 1425.Joh n Sambourne. Married daughter and heir of Sir John de la Riviere of Timsbury. Child: Richard, born about 1455.Ric hard Sambourne of Timsbury. Married Dorothy Tichbourne of Hants. Child: John, born about 1490.Joh n Sambourne of Timsbury. Married daughter of Lisley (l'Isle) of Maiden Newton, Dorset. Francis b. ab. 1580. Richard b. ab. 1575. John b. ab. 1590. John Sambourne of Maiden Newton, Dorset. Son of Francis, born about 1600. He probably moved to London with his two brothers by 1615. He married Ann Bachiler (Batcheler), daughter of Reverend Stephen Batcheler. They had three sons: William, John, Stephen. He died in Derbyshire, England. The name Sanborn (Sambourne, Sandburn, etc.) is very uncommon in England and genealogists assume that all Sanborns descend from William Sambourne of Sunning, Oxfordshire. John Sanborn of this record was born in England in 1620. He came with his two brothers and his grandfather, Rev. Stephen Batcheler, to America in 1632 on the William and Francis. In Hampton, New Hampshire, he married Mary Tuck, daughter of Robert Tuck. After her death, on Dec. 30, 1668, he married Margaret Page Moulton, a widow.In 1664 he was chosen Captain for Hampton. It appears he was not a freeman and the case was referred to the General Court. He was chosen Ensign in October, 1665 and a year later legally confirmed Ensign. He was commissioned as Lieutenant in 1679. Was representative for Hampton in 1685.In 1649 John Sanborn, with William Eastow, was appointed to lay out the salt marsh on Great-Ox Common. Sanborn was active in town affairs, especially on boundaries and land titles.H e was a prominent man in Hampton. Was selectsman 1660~1661~1665; 1668~72; 1674~75; 1678~79. Was Ensign in King Phillip's War in 1677. Commissioner of Small Causes -- 1667~69. When he died on October 20, 1692, his inventory amounted to 264 pounds, 14 shillings, including old Bible and books. By his first wife, Mary Tuck, he had eleven children. The eighth child, Ann, was born in 1662. She married Samuel Palmer. She died in 1745.The y are the ancestors in this record. The name Sanborne is not uncommon in America, but is extremely rare in England and all evidence points to have been one distinct family of the name from ancient lines. All American Sanbornes are descended from Hampton Settlers of 1639. John, William and Stephen Sanborne were the sons of an English Sanborne (probably William of Brimpton, Berks) and Anne, daughter of Rev. Stephen Bachiler. The three sons of Anne Sanborne are said to have come to America with their grandfather Bachiler in 1632 but apparently their mother did not come over nor have we any trace of the three sons until 1639 in Hampton. Lieut. John Sanborne born 1620 (Deposition in Norfolk Co. Files) was probably in Hampton in 1640 since he was then granted a house-lot and a tract of land there. In 1643 his name is signed to a Hampton petition; and from this date the records contain frequent mention of him. Selectman in 1674-5 1678-9. At Salisbury Court, Nov. 14, 1676, John Sanborne was Foreman of the Grand Jury. As Ensign of the Hampton Co. in.1677, he signed a petition to Maj. Gen. Denison, asking for help. Commissioned Lieutenant of Hampton forces, October 15, 1679, (Mass. Col. Rec. v. 252) When Charles II decided to make New Hampshire a Royal Province in 1679, Sir Warren wrote to the Lords of Trade that in Hampton the men most eminent and best qualified for His Majesties Council were Dan Dal ton, Capt. Husse, John Sanborne and Nath. Wyer (State Papers, Colonial 1670 -80 In the Cranfield and Mason persecutions we find that John Sanborne suffered: "Wm. Fifield and co. depose that in Oct. 1684 being at John Sanbornes Sen. house, when Robert Mason, Sherlock the Marshall and James Leach came to give Mason possession, when Sanborne not opening the door, Leach broke it open and Sherlock took Sanborne prisoner, when Mason told the people openly, This is what you shall all come to" (N H. Prov. Papers, i, 539) Also in Capt. Henry Dow's diary we find "Bro. Sanborne put in prison, 21 Oct 1684. Capt.

The name Sanborne is not uncommon in America, but is extremely rare in England and all evidence points to it being one distinct family of the name from ancient lines. All American Sanbornes are descended from Hampton Settlers of 1639. John, William and Stephen Sanborne were the sons of an English Sanborne (probably William of Brimpton, Berks) and Anne, daughter of Rev. Stephen Bachiler. The three sons of Anne Sanborne are said to have come to America with their grandfather Bachiler in 1632, in the ship William and Frances, but apparently their mother did not come over nor have we any trace of the three sons until 1639 in Hampton. They went directly to Lynn, and remained there four or five years, while the old gentleman, over 70 years of age, discharged the duties of pastor over a church he had constituted, without regular installation, composed of the company he brought with him, and such of the former inhabitants of the place as chose to associate with them. On account of difficulties in the church, owing in part, at least, to Mr. Bachilor's eccentric management, his residence here became unpleasant, and taking his company with him, and perhaps some others, he removed to Ipswich, then to Newbury, and in 1638 settled in Hampton, where he was regularly installed first pastor of the congregational church in that place. Here John and William Sanborn lived and died. In Hampton, then including Northampton, Hampton Falls, Southampton, Seafcrook and Kensington, and in Stratham, Exeter and Newmarket lived their descendants for near a century, contributing their full proportion to the bone and muscle as well as the intelligence and enterprise of the community. At the close of the first century after their immigration, few of the race had passed the limits of Old Hampton as then bounded; and to the copious and well preserved records of that town and its church, we are indebted, chiefly, for the reliable account we are able to give of four or five of the first generations. In regard to the orthography of the name, there seems considerable discrepancy of opinion. A very large majority of our name in America write it Sanborn, but all reports I have obtained from the old world agree in spelling it Samborne or Sambourne. Dr. Thomas Sanborn, of Newport, N. H., who visited Europe in 1853, says, "The conclusion arrived at is that the name of Sanborn is not to be found in the British Isles, but the name of Samborne is to be found in Bristol and London. Their home seems to be in Montford [?] Co., Berks, Hampshire and Somersetshire." In Derbyshire, where our old family tradition locates them, there are none to be found. Our early American ancestors spelled their names variously according to fancy. Of a coat of arms, Dr. T. Sanborn found in England, in "-Burke's General Armory,"* two distinct copies belonging to different individuals. We present one at the head of our article ; the other is similar in shield and crest, but in place of the lion rampant with five muilets, we have a chevron and three mullets. Lieut. John Sanborn's mother was a daughter of Rev. Stephen Bachiler. He and his brothers, Stephen and William, came to Hampton, where John had granted to him in 1640 five acres for a house lot, two and one half, or thereabouts, at home and the rest beyond Taylor's river. In 1645 he had two of the 147 shares. In 1650 he and his wife had seats in the meeting-house. In 1651 he was chosen to confirm the old grants. November 21, 1651, he had two shares of the ox commons. His tax was 14 shillings in 1653. January 23, 1654, he was chosen agent for the town in Hobbs's suit against the town. June 30, 1657, he was chosen in the room of William Swain to provide a house for the minister. October 24, 1657, he was to see to the repairs of Mr. Cotton's house. February 28, 1658, he was chosen to finish the building for Mr. Dalton. May 29, 1658, he was appointed to confer with Mr. Cotton about his house. July 16, 1658, he and two others were to see to the grants and highways. January 1, 1660, he was chosen one of a committee to wait upon Mr. Cotton about the repairs to be made on his house. March 16, 1660, he was chosen to hire the schoolmaster. January 9, 1663, he was appointed to examine the shares. June 9, 1663, he was one of the men to lay out the four thousand acres west of Hampton bounds, and on April 14, 1663, he was chosen to make a division of the same. September 21, 1664, his power as a wood ward was suspended and other regulations were made. January 24, 1665, he was chosen to collect the arrearages of the constable, and with power to levy fines and take by distress, etc. March 27, 1665, he made a motion to admit Henry Deering as an inhabitant with permission to keep the ordinary. June 20, 1665, he was chosen with Rev. Mr. Cotton and Samuel Dalton to draw a writing asserting the claims of the inhabitants to their lands and remonstrating against the claims of Mr. Mason before Sir Robert Carr and the other royal commissioners. The appointment of Sanborn to this duty indicates the high opinion his fellow townsmen had of his talents and integrity, nor did he ever lose this good esteem. October 12, 1665, he was chosen to lay out the farm of two hundred acres granted to the Rev. Mr. Cotton, and was also chosen to lay out the second division. July 25,1667, he was elected a commissioner to try small causes. May 22,1667, he was to lay out the land granted Daniel Tilton. March 18, 1668, he was chosen to rectify Anthony Taylor's bounds. April 12, 1669, he was chosen to manage the suits against Portsmouth about the lands at Josslyn's Keck, before the next court at Salisbury. September 5, 1669, he was appointed to run the Exeter line. December 10, 1669, he was to treat with William Fuller concerning the exchange of one hundred acres of land at Hogpen plains. December 22, 1669, he was chosen to lay out the land more than four miles north of the meeting-house. March 3, 1670, he had a grant (No. 51) of one hundred acres. June 13,1671, he was chosen an appraiser of the goods taken by the constable by warrant of distress, May 31, 1671. He was chosen a commissioner to make the rates, April 25, 1672. He was chosen to treat with Mr. Dudley and Mr. Gilman respecting the suit of Exeter against the widow Garland, October 21, 1672. He was elected one of the selectmen in 1650, 1657, 1661, 1665, 1668, 1671, 1674, and 1678. He died October 20, 1692. His first wife was named Mary. Her children were: Richard, born November 4, 1654; married Ruth Marston, October 10, 1678. Mary, born January 19, 1657; died November 4, 1660. Joseph, born January 13, 1659; married Mary Gove.

Nathaniel, born November 27, 1665; married, first, Rebecca Prescott; second, Sarah Nason. Benjamin, born October 20, 1668; married, first, Meribah Tilton; second, Abigail Dalton. He married, second, widow Margaret Moulton, daughter of Robert Page. He had one son by her: Jonathan, born March 25, 1672; married Elizebeth Sherburne. Widow Margaret Sanborn died July 13, 1699, aged seventy years. He had a son John who died in 1727, and probably Josiah who was a selectman in 1695. His inventory was 'a3294 14s. In 1722, Richard Sanborn drew one half share in the first division, Ensign John Sanborn one half share in the third division and one share in the fifth division, in the original right of John Sanborn. Lieutenant Sanborn was one of the most strenuous opponents of the Masonian claims and of Cranfield's administration. He was a signer of Weare's petition to the king in 1683. October, 1683, Robert Mason, Sherlock, the marshal, and James Leach came to San- born's house in order to give Mason possession, when Sanborn not opening the door, Leach, by the marshal's order, broke it open, and gave Mason possession. Sanborn was taken prisoner. In November, 1683, Governor Cranfield brought an action against John Sanborn of Hampton for saying, "I question whether the King ever knew of Edward Cranfield's commission or patent." The damages were laid at 'a3500. In case pending between the Hon. Edward Cranfield Esquire Plaintiff, against John Sanborn Defendant the jury find for the Plaintiff, five hundred pounds damage, and costs of Court, Or to make a public acknowledgment in all four towns both for matter and form, as the Court shall direct. Then he so doing shall pay but ten pounds and costs of court. The costs were 'a31 19s. The acknowledgment was made in 1685. He borrowed the money of Richard Waldron, his son Richard, and William Vaughan to pay the above fine, October 24, 1685. His four sons, Richard, Josiah, John, and Joseph, were signers of Weare's petition. Lieut. John Sanborn lived at first on his lot near the residence of the late Alvin Emery, but afterward moved south of Taylor's river. He owned and lived on the farm now occupied by the heirs of Thayer S. Sanborn. The farm has remained in possession of the Sanborn family ever since. John San- born's house was situated near where the garden now is, by the lane which leads to the depot road. He was the ancestor of the Sanborn families in this town, where they have been numerous and prominent in town matters.

He was the ancestor of the Sanborn families in this town, where they have been numerous and prominent in town matters. All the American Sanborns are likely descended from the three brothers who settled in Hampton in 1639. This surname is derived from the Anglo-Saxon words Sand and Burn (a stream), evidently a place-name before it became a family name and it seems probable that the English progenitors who first used Sambourne, the original form of Sanborn, as their surname were in Sambourne in Warminster, Wiltshire. The earliest mention of the name in England, in 1194, gives it spelled De Sandburne, but as early as 1330 it is commonly spelled Samborne and Sambourne. and since the fourteenth century these two forms have been the accepted spelling in England, the Only two surviving branches in that country using them. The American progenitor spelled the name Samborn and Samborne but gradually the name has been changed to Sanborn, the form adopted by almost all of the American descendants. In Illinois the spelling Sanburn and in Michigan Sandburn is in use by members of this family. The Sanborn or Sambourne coat-of-arms: Argent, a chevron, sable, between three mullets gules, pierced or. Crest: a mullet as in the arms. The Sambourne ancestry has been traced by V. C. Sanborn, compiler of the Genealogy, to Nicholas Sambourne or Samborne, of Wiltshire, in 1320. Nicholas Samborne was born about 1320; probably held the fourth part of a knight's fee in Biddestone. St. Nicholas, Wiltshire; represented Bath City at the parliament held at Westminster, November 3, 1391; His son. Nicholas Samborne, Jr., was born about 1350: held the fourth part of a knight's fee, mentioned above; was in parliament in r393"94'° married Katherine, the youngest (laughter and co-heir of Sir John Lushill or De Lusteshull, who was connected with the House of Lancaster. A grandson, Walter Samborne, was born 1420; held Fernham and Lushill manors but probably lived at Southcot House, near Reading, Berkshire: married Margaret Drew, daughter of Thomas Drew, of Seagry, Wiltshire; she died in 1494 and her will is extant. Nicholas Samborne, son of Walter and Margaret Samborne. was born about 1450 and made his home at Mapledurham, Oxfordshire; married Elizabeth, daughter of John Brocas, of Beaurepaire, Mampshire; descendant of an ancient and honorable family, from which she inherited considerable property, including Timsbury, which the Sambornes occupied. Timsbury House, now the most ancient Samborne residence in England, is celebrated for the interesting and artistic Tudor architecture. The house today is practically unchanged since 1542 except for minor alterations and repairs, and the loss of one wing by fire. The probable line of descent from this Nicholas to the American immigrants is given by the family historian as: Nicholas Samborne (VI), born 1500: Edward Samborne (VII), born about 1550; William Samborne (VIII), who married Anne Bachiler and was of Brimpton, Berkshire, in 1616: their sons Lieutenant John, William and Stephen Samborne, being the three American emigrants. A sketch of Lieutenant John Samborne appears elsewhere. (I) William Samborne, son of William and Anne (Bachiler) Samborne, was born in England about 1622, as shown by the record of his death. His is the earliest Samborne record found at Hampton, now New Hampshire, where the family settled. The records show that on November 27. 1639, William Samborne was appointed to ring the bell before meetings on the Lord's Day and other days for which the town voted that he should be paid six pence by each and every one having a lot in the town. In June, 1640, a house lot was granted him on the road towards the sea, southwest of his brother John's. He was selectman of Hampton in 1651-60-67-71-7783. Savage says he was deputy to the general court; he was often on town committees. He was a soldier in King Philip's war. He sold his house and lot May 17, 1647, to Sergeant Thomas Philbrick. The will of his wife's father, John Moulton, dated March 23, 1649, proved March 8, 1650, bequeathed various parcels of land to William and Anne (Moulton) Samborne. He was admitted a freeman October 8, 1651. He deeded land June 22, 1681, to his eldest son, William; on the same date to his son Josiah the houselot bought of Thomas Thurston. He was a constable in 1676. He died November 18, 1692. A fragment of his will is preserved and the inventory, dated December 1, 1692. He married Mary Moulton, daughter of John Moulton, of Ormsby, Norfolk county, England, and Hampton. New Hampshire. Children: 1. Mary, married, December 17. 1662, Sergeant Joseph Dow. 2. Mehitable, married December 23, 1669, Ensign Daniel Tilton. 3. William, born 1652. 4. Josiah, married Hannah Moulton; representative to general court; well-to-do citizen. 5. Mercy, born July 19, 1660, married Samuel Cass. 6. Mephiboseth, born November 5, 1663, married Lydia Levitt and lived in Hampton. 7. Sarah, born February 10, 1667, married Samuel Marston. 8. Stephen, born September 4, 1671, mentioned below. ======================== The Sanborn Family Association in its continuing search among English records for the father of the three Samborne brothers who settled in Hampton with their maternal grandfather, Rev. Stephen Bachiler, is naturally interested in the Bachiler ancestry as well. Bachiler's daughter, Ann, widowed by the time she was 30, married secondly (by a license issued at Rochester) in Strood, Kent, on 20 January 1631/2 (Strood, Kent, parish register, Kent Record Office, Maidstone, Kent), as "Mrs Anne Sanborne," to "Mr Henry Atkinson," and they brought the suit mentioned earlier against John Bate, son of Rev. John Bate, thus establishing the basis of these family connections between Bate, Bachiler, and Mrs. Atkinson, among others. What became of the Atkinsons is still not known. They do not appear to have come to New England. The Rochester marriage licenses do not survive for the period in question, from which further information might have been found. However, it has been established that this Henry Atkinson was not the girdler of that name in London who Charles Hull Batchelder thought must be the second husband of Ann (Bachiler) Samborne http://www.hampton.lib.nh.us/hampton/biog/bachilerdeath.htm Rev.

He had one son by her:Jonathan, born March 25, 1672; married Elizebeth Sherburne.Widow Margaret Sanborn died July 13, 1699, aged seventy years. He had a son John who died in 1727, and probably Josiah who was a selectman in 1695. His inventory was 'a3294 14s. In 1722, Richard Sanborn drew one half share in the first division, Ensign John Sanborn one half share in the third division and one share in the fifth division, in the original right of John Sanborn.Lieutenant Sanborn was one of the most strenuous opponents of the Masonian claims and of Cranfield's administration. He was a signer of Weare's petition to the king in 1683. October, 1683, Robert Mason, Sherlock, the marshal, and James Leach came to San- born's house in order to give Mason possession, when Sanborn not opening the door, Leach, by the marshal's order, broke it open, and gave Mason possession. Sanborn was taken prisoner. In November, 1683, Governor Cranfield brought an action against John Sanborn of Hampton for saying, "I question whether the King ever knew of Edward Cranfield's commission or patent." The damages were laid at 'a3500.In case pending between the Hon. Edward Cranfield Esquire Plaintiff, against John Sanborn Defendant the jury find for the Plaintiff, five hundred pounds damage, and costs of Court, Or to make a public acknowledgment in all four towns both for matter and form, as the Court shall direct. Then he so doing shall pay but ten pounds and costs of court.The costs were 'a31 19s. The acknowledgment was made in 1685. He borrowed the money of Richard Waldron, his son Richard, and William Vaughan to pay the above fine, October 24, 1685. His four sons, Richard, Josiah, John, and Joseph, were signers of Weare's petition. Lieut. John Sanborn lived at first on his lot near the residence of the late Alvin Emery, but afterward moved south of Taylor' s river. He owned and lived on the farm now occupied by the heirs of Thayer S. Sanborn. The farm has remained in possession of the Sanborn family ever since. John San- born's house was situated near where the garden now is, by the lane which leads to the depot road. He was the ancestor of the Sanborn families in this town, where they have been numerous and prominent in town matters. William Sanbornwas born about 1622 in England He emigrated on MAR 9 1632 from England. *Sanborn Genealogy : "On March 9, 1632, Bachiler sailed for New England in the 'William and Francis', landing in Boston, June 3,1632" He immigrated on JUN 3 1632 to Boston, MA. *Sanborn Genealogy : "On March 9, 1632, Bachiler sailed for New England in the 'William and Francis', landing in Boston, June 3,1632" He died on SEP 18 1692 in Hampton, NH. *History of Hampton : "John, William, and Stephen, brothers, were grandsons of Mr. Steven Bachiler, the first pastor of the church in Hampton. According to tradition, their father died in England, leaving these sons and their mother to the care of Mr. Bachiler, her father, and they all came to New England with him in 1632, and about six years later, to Hampton." "The three brothers named were here and all of them in possession of house-lots as early as 1644. Their names are all on the tax-list of 1653, and all held town offices." "William's house lot is described as in the Town Records, as follows: '1. Imp five acres of upland for a house lott: and three quarters of an acre of ground aded to the south end thereof: layeing together between the grownd of John Browns toward the east, & the grownd of Aquila Chases." ... "This is now John A. Philbrick's homestead." *Sanborn Genealogy : "He was selectman of Hampton, 1651, 1660, 1667, 1671, 1677, 1683" "Served in King Phillip's War" He took freeman's oath at Hampton Court 8th 8th month 1651. He was married to Mary Moulton. Lieutenant John Sanborn Genealogical Notes 1918 Lieut. John Sanborn's mother was a daughter of Rev. Stephen Bachiler. He and his brothers, Stephen and William, came to Hampton , where John had granted to him in 1640 five acres for a house lot, two and one half, or thereabouts, at home and the rest beyond Taylor' s river. In 1645 he had two of the 147 shares. In 1650 he and his wife had seats in the meeting-house. In 1651 he was chosen to confirm the old grants. November 21, 1651, he had two shares of the ox commons. His tax was 14 shillings in 1653. January 23, 1654, he was chosen agent for the town in Hobbs' s suit against the town. June 30, 1657, he was chosen in the room of William Swain to provide a house for the minister. October 24, 1657, he was to see to the repairs of Mr. Cotton's house. February 28, 1658, he was chosen to finish the building for Mr. Dalton. May 29, 1658, he was appointed to confer with Mr. Cotton about his house. July 16, 1658, he and two others were to see to the grants and highways. January 1, 1660, he was chosen one of a committee to wait upon Mr. Cotton about the repairs to be made on his house. March 16, 1660, he was chosen to hire the schoolmaster. January 9, 1663, he was appointed to examine the shares. June 9, 1663, he was one of the men to lay out the four thousand acres west of Hampton bounds, and on April 14, 1663, he was chosen to make a division of the same. September 21, 1664, his power as a wood ward was suspended and other regulations were made. January 24, 1665, he was chosen to collect the arrearages of the constable, and with power to levy fines and take by distress, etc. March 27, 1665, he made a motion to admit Henry Deering as an inhabitant with permission to keep the ordinary. June 20, 1665, he was chosen with Rev. Mr. Cotton and Samuel Dalton to draw a writing asserting the claims of the inhabitants to their lands and remonstrating against the claims of Mr. Mason before Sir Robert Carr and the other royal commissioners. The appointment of Sanborn to this duty indicates the high opinion his fellow townsmen had of his talents and integrity, nor did he ever lose this good esteem. October 12, 1665, he was chosen to lay out the farm of two hundred acres granted to the Rev. Mr. Cotton, and was also chosen to lay out the second division. July 25,1667, he was elected a commissioner to try small causes. May 22,1667, he was to lay out the land granted Daniel Tilton. March 18, 1668, he was chosen to rectify Anthony Taylor's bounds.

September 5, 1669, he was appointed to run the Exeter line. December 10, 1669, he was to treat with William Fuller concerning the exchange of one hundred acres of land at Hogpen plains. December 22, 1669, he was chosen to lay out the land more than four miles north of the meeting-house. March 3, 1670, he had a grant (No. 51) of one hundred acres. June 13,1671, he was chosen an appraiser of the goods taken by the constable by warrant of distress, May 31, 1671. He was chosen a commissioner to make the rates, April 25, 1672. He was chosen to treat with Mr. Dudley and Mr. Gilman respecting the suit of Exeter against the widow Garland , October 21, 1672. He was elected one of the selectmen in 1650, 1657, 1661, 1665, 1668, 1671, 1674, and 1678.He died October 20, 1692. His first wife was named Mary.

Our Puritan Era Ancestory (A Family Study Aid) Our Puritan Era Ancestory (A Family Study Aid) May 26, 2009 Dear Family and other interested readers, I have been working on our family history now for about four or five years. It is nowhere near complete. However it is beginning to take shape enough to see the wonderful story emerging. Genealogy is more (or should be) than a simple listing of names, dates and places. Looking at a list of 'begats' doesn't really do a lot to give you that sense of awe you get when you actually know the stories of the individuals, the pride you feel for yourself when you find ancestors who did extroadinary things, or just lived an ordinary life in an extraordinary way. Once you begin delving into it, you find your people coming alive right before your eyes, and if you are particularly lucky, you can even find a few that you get to know so well you can almost feel you actually had. It seems to me the vast majority of those delving into family history are mostly concerned with simply finding the next generation back, and certainly this can be highly pleasing and exciting when it occurs, especially if one has been looking for a particular connection for a long time. But the excitement really starts mounting when you start delving into the personal stories of these people whose lives on earth resulted in your own. So over time I have been reading stories, and reading between the lines of recorded life data to see more than just a name, date and place for a given individual. I am completely enamored of our family, and proud to be descended from some of the most colorful, independent, and forward thinking people one could imagine. But I have had to piece all my gleanings together over time, reading of one person here and another there and going back to people time and again to get all there is to know. This has been a time consuming process, not only to see the sories emerging of the individual players in the saga, but to piece together the fabric of the times in which they lived in order to get the full and total flavor of story of our existence. I wish to make the journey for those of you who follow much easier and more exciting. There is no reason for you to have to retrace MY steps and spend precious time gathering data and narratives which I already have done. So as I have found pertinent information I have attached it to relevent people and familes, and have written my own additional thoughts and conjectures where appropriate and relevent. However, it occurs to me that this is not really enough. Someone just embarking on the journey will have no particular place to start, and may end up meandering around the tree reading branch and twig in a somewhat haphazard manner, and even though the material might be already gathered for someone to read without having to spend months in research for it, it still will lack that cohesiveness that can make it all come alive and give to it that wonderful, exciting and yes, awe-inspiring flavor that makes you proud to be a part of it. So for this reason, I am also going to be writing a kind of family history syllabus, a way to organize your own travel through time in a way that I think will help make it easier for you and allow you to get more out of it. I hope that after me, some of you will take up the labor of love wherever it has been left off, and continue both to fill in the blanks of the tree, and help future generations organize the material into rational segments for better understanding and enjoyment. This is the first of these that I have in mind to do. It may be just because this is the way I have organized it in my own head, but I find it reasonable to start with the oldest group of our ancestors to come to America from somewhere else. I give you then, our Puritan era ancestors. Through the ancestry of my mother's great-grandfather, Joel Kenyen Palmer, our family reaches all the way back to some of the earliest settlers of New England, and includes a wide variety of people. We have some puritans who came for religious purposes, quakers, who came for the same ideal, and merchant men who came seeking to make a profit in the new world. Several of them are identified as being among the founders of present day towns, some of whose descendents still reside on original lands, or within a few miles of them, and others who, perhaps inheriting the same adventurous spirit of their forefathers, pressed ever westward, culminating in Joel Kenyen Palmer's settling in a gold rush town in Colorado. I have to mention that you could have knocked me over with a feather when I discovered that we had ancestors going back to the Pilgrim era. As it turns out, I have now spent a lot of time in this era, one for which I never really had more more than a passing interest before. But now I am finding the whole era completely fascinating, and the parts our ancestors played in it to be equally fascinating, and sometimes mind-boggling. Some of our ancestors were founding fathers of towns, Some were people who bucked the system (we seem to have quite a few of those actually,) some have wonderfully interesting stories associated with them, and some have brushed elbows with fame. I will leave the particulars to your own researches into our past, But to help you do that, here is an outline that I think will help you get started. I will update this information as I go along. The stories of some of these early settlers are well known, while others are almost non-existent. But all of them can be better appreciated in the context of at least some rudimentary knowledge of the times in which they lived, and of some of the other people around them, whether family, friend or neighbor. In giving you the story of the hstory of our family, I will try to present to you enough contextual information to provide flavor and make these people come alive for you, without giving you so much as to bore or overwhelm you. For those few of you who, like me, wish to delve into every scrap of information available, I have provided as attached stories to many of them, original and secondary source materials, so you don't have to spend time covering the same tracks as I have already done. Because of the limited way in which materials on Ancestry can be organized, I will be writing these "Study Aids" and attaching them to appropriate persons in the tree. Looking for story titles with (Family Study Aid) in the title, will help you sort through the myriad of things provided for you, and give you starting places, and hopefully help you with the flow of the overall story. Introduction Most People did not arrive here in a vacuum, they were part of groups, or became so early after arrival. As such, several of our ancestors are tied together by family bonds, or proximity of living, or the sharing of an endeavor. I think it would be helpful to study these groups as a coherent whole, rather than simply getting basic information on single individuals haphazardly. It occurs to me that this particular branch of our tree is really the story of the Palmer Line, beginning with the Progenitor, William Palmer, and ending with Joel Kenyen Palmer, whose daughter Rose Ella married into the Haines family, at which point we begin a whole other branch of the family. Through William Palmer's son, Christopher we get the Hilton's (who were actually here first.) Through Christopher's son, Samuel we get the Sanborns and the Bachillers (or Batchelders) Through Samuel's Son, Christopher we get the Berrys and the Lockes. Through Christopher's son, Jonathan we get the Rowes, the Swaines, the Websters and the Brewers. Through Jonathan's son, Simon we get the Loverings, of whome nothing is known at this time Through Simon's son, William we get the Haynes' of whom nothing is known at this time Through William's son, Joel Kenyen, we get the Lewis's, the Aikman's, the Hutchinson's, and others (Families I have yet to explore. They may or may not lead us back to this same era.) Through Joel Kenyen's daughter Rose Ella, we get the Haines' (A whole other branch of the tree, which will lead us back again to the late 1600's in New Jersey) Let's start with some Interesting Statistics For any given person there are: 2 Parents 1st Generation Ancestors 4 Grandparents 2nd Generation Ancestors 8 Great Grandparents 3rd Generation Ancestors 16 2nd Great Grandparents 4th Generation Ancestors 32 3rd Great Grandparents 5th Generation Ancestors 64 4th Great Grandparents 6th Generation Ancestors 128 5th Great Grandparents 7th Generation Ancestors 256 6th Great Grandparents 8th Generation Ancestors 512 7th Great Grandparents 9th Generation Ancestors 1024 8th Great Grandparents 10th Generation Ancestors 2048 9th Great Grandparents 11th Generation Ancestors 4096 10th Great Grandparents 12th Generation Ancestors For me this takes us back to approximately the time of the early beginnings of our country. In my particular case, disregarding the 3 genrations of my father's family of which I have rudimentary knowledge, we can pretty much eliminate half of this number. Tracking down my ancestors in Sicily will probably not be probable anytime soon.SO the number of possible 11th generation ancestors to be found is 1024. Considering we are beginning with Joel Kenyen Palmer, who is of the 4th generation from me, we can narrow the possible ancestors down even further. Counting from Joel, my 11th generation ancestors are his 7th generation ancestors, giving us only a possible 128 ancestors in that generation to account for.Since the line of his mother, Amanda Haynes, has not been traced, we can eliminate 64 of these right away. The line of his grandmother, Mary Lovering, has also not been traced, so we are left with only 32 possible ancestors in my 11th, his 7th, generation ancestors. I am still trying to find the right connection for Joel's 2nd Great Grandfather, Robert Rowe Jr. I believe that when this connection is discovered, they will be found to be a part of this era also. However, at the present time, we can eliminate the 8 ancestors that would result from that line, leaving us with only 24 People, or 12 couples, to deal with from my 11th line of ancestors. At the current time, I am only aware of one ancestor from the 12th generation, Rev. Stephen Bachellor, of whom much will be discussed during this history. Of the remaining 12 couples in the 11th generation, four couples did not migrate to America . The identities of two of these couples are unknown. They each had a daughter who was married and migrated with their husbands, and are part of the 10th generation progenitors. Two more of these are known, at least to some extent, but it was their sons, also 10th generation members, who made the trip across the sea to start a new life. The remaining eight couples are mostly known, except for the names of a few of the wives, and with one or two possible exceptions, made the crossing together, some with their children. One of them was a remarried widow who came with her second husband, bringing along her son to become the progenitor of the line, The other possible exception is the case of Edward Hilton, where it is not known if he brought his wife from England or married her after arrival. What we have then, are the following families: Edward Hilton, and his unknown wife, who may or may not have migrated with him in 1623. William Palmer and his wife, Mary Stamforth, who came around 1636 with children Martha and Christopher. Two other children had died in infancy. The Bachellor (Batchelder) party, of whom Ann Bachiller, widow of John Sanborn, is of the 11th generation. Her father, the very interesting Rev. Stephen Bachiller, is the only one of my 12th generation ancestors that I am aware of who migrated to America . This is not hard to believe, considering he was 72 years old at the time. With them were a number of Rev. Stephen's grandchildren, among whom was John Sanborn, Ann's son, later Leut. John Sanborn, who became the progenitor of the Sanborn line in America . Robert Tuck and his wife Joanna. Some poeple have her as the daughter of Rev. Stephen, but I do not believe this to be the case. Richard Swain and his wife, Elizabeth Basselle. William Marston and his wife, Sarah Goody. Thomas Brewer and his wife, who is stated on most of the trees at Ancestry to be Elizabeth Graves. I do not beleive this is accurate. Margery Webster Godfrey, widow of Thomas Webster, came with her second husband, ---Godfrey, and her son Thomas Webster, who became the progenitor of that line of Websters in America , which included the famous orator and statesman, Daniel Webster. William Berry (10th Generation.) and his wife, possibly Jane. Nathaniel Locke ((10th Generation) and his wife, Judith Hermins (Hemins, Hemming) These ten families, then, are the beginnings of our family in America . Let us start, then, with what we know of these ancestors who arrived in this country in New England during the Puritan Era. I. THe Hiltons of Dover Edward and William Hilton are claimed by some to be the first settlers of the State of New Hampshire. By virtue of someone else's house being completed a month or so before the Hiltons had theirs up, that claim to fame is officially given to another. Be that as it may, Edward Hilton is the very first of our currently known ancestors to set foot on American soil. He and his brother William arrived as early as 1622 or 1623, just two or three years after the arrival of the Pilgrims at Plymouth . To find out about the Hiltons, start with the story titled "Our First New England Ancestors, the Hiltons of Dover (A Family Study Aid)" attached to both Edward and William Hilton. II. Founders of the town of Hampton Quite a few of our ancestors came to be original grantees of land that resulted in the founding of Hampton , New Hampshire, or settled there at the beginning. The currently known ones are: Rev. Stephen Bachiler (my personal favorite ancestor, at least for this period) Christopher Hussey and his wife, Theodate Bachiler (Rev. Stephen's daughter) Leut. John Sanborn and his brothers William and Stephen, (Whose mother was Ann Bachiler, daughter of rev. Stephen. She never came to America , as far as we know.) and his wife Mary Tuck. Robert Tuck, whose daughter married Leut. John Sanborn, and his wife, Joanna, who is NOT a bachiler until it's proven to me, despite what you will see in other trees.) Christopher Palmer, and his wife Susanna Hilton Edward Hilton (wife unknown) father of Susannah Richard Swain (of Ormsby) and his wife Elizabeth (who later were among the founders of Nantucket Island) William Swain (Sr.) and his wife Prudence Marston William Swain (Jr.) and his wife, Mary Webster Thomas Webster (of Ormsby) and his mother Margery Webster Godfrey Late comers to Hampton: Robert Rowe, who married Mahetable Swayne (Swain) daugher of William and Mary, and whose daughter Abigail married Jonathan Palmer, son of Christopher and Elizabeth Berry. Lines linked by Marriage: William Moulton and His wife, Margaret Page (of Ormsby) whose son Joseph married Bethia Swain, sister to William Swain and daughter to Richard Swain John Moulton and his wife (of Ormsby) whose son Henry married Sobriety Hilton, Sister of Susannah and Daughter of Edward Hilton To get the story of these people, start with the story titled "The Founders of Hampton, NH, (A Family Study Aid)" attached to Rev. Stephen Batchelder others. [Note to people attaching this story to their own trees: I expect this story to be updated frequently. Check back often, or leave me a comment if you would like to be notified when it is updated.] Written by Katrina Haney as an introduction and study aid for those wishing to learn more of our family history.
