As the father of multiple PGM-era immigrants with differing published accounts of his name and identify, Richard Samborne's profile is being monitored by WikiTree's Puritan Great Migration Project.

Updated Identity (2022)

Clifford L. Stott found baptisms at St. Cuthbert, Wells, Somerset, England, 1621-1623/4 about children John, Stephen and William to a father Richard Samborne. The dates and order of those baptisms closely matched what was otherwise known about the immigrating grandsons of Rev. Stephen Bachiler (abt.1561-abt.1656). The boys' father, once WikiTree's "_____" Sanborne, published as probably John or William, even found in family files as John William Sanborne/Samborne/Sambourne, has been accepted as this Richard Samborne (Samborne-86). See Research Notes.

Rev James Samborne. Victor Channing Sanborn, "The First Sanborns of Hampton, NH," New England Historical and Genealogical Register, 51 (1897):57-64 at 57; digital images, Hathi Trust, :"In the English Samborne family are several members either of whom may have been the husband of Anne Bachiler. Rev. James Samborne of Upper Clatford, Hants, the next parish to Wherwell, like Stephen Bachiler, was an Oxford man and a Puritan... In Basingstoke, Hants, near Wherwel, we find a John Samborne, Sergt-at-Mace in 1651. In Cholsey, Berks, twenty miles north of Wherwell, Richard Samborne had three children... [including] John of whom we find no further record.... Peter Samborne of London Bridge, goldsmith, had son Markley, b abt 1606.

Wife did not immigrate. An 1855 family bible entry published 200 years after the fact as "Sanborn Family Bible," in Connecticut Nutmegger, 41(2008):51. link for subscribers, may also be the source for the belief that his wife, Ann (Batchiler) Sanborn came to New England with her sons. But Robert Charles Anderson showed records that suggest otherwise.

No known daughter Ann. A previous version of this profile associated a daughter, Ann Sanborne (1618-), This association has been disputed by WikiTree collaborators (lack of historical support). See Proposal to "merge away" Ann Sanborne/Sanborne-3 (1600s, England) This association is being severed in 2022.

Prior Version. A prior version of this profile included comments,

• He may have been Sargent at Mace in Basingstoke in 1641 under his relative, George Baynard.^{[citation needed]}.
• The first name of Ann (Bachiler) Sanborn's husband is not known. Some say he was either John or William and son of Edward Sambourne and his wife Ann (others say his mother was Margaret); but none of this has been proven, or it's been disproven).
