CAUTION. As per an earlier comment, work to update John's profile continues. The updates largely highlight changes in his birth, parentage and ancestry, following Clifford L.

Biography

John Samborne was baptized at St. Cuthbert, Wells, Somerset, England, 2 December 1619, the son of Richard Samborne and his wife, Ann Bachiler.[1][2][3][4]

Immigration to New England

Along with his brothers, he came to New England with his maternal grandfather Reverend Stephen Bachiler.[5]

Life at New England

John arrived in Hampton, New Hampshire in 1639 and in 1640 was granted a house-lot and land there.[6] His house was next to his grandfather, Rev. Stephen Bachiler, across from the Meeting House Green.[6] In 1647, when his grandfather left Hampton, he deeded John additional property.[7][6]
"He was a prominent man, was many years a selectman, a representative to the general court, and a freeman Oct. 11, 1685."[8]
In October of 1684, John was arrested at his house as part of the "Cranfield & Mason persecutions" which was an attempt by Mason to recover the land of his ancestors.[6] This was described in the New Hampshire Provincial Papers 1, 539:
"Wm. Fifield etc. depose that in Oct 1684 being at John Samborne Senior's house, when Robert Mason, Sherlock the Marshall and James Leach came to give Mason possession,--when Samborne not opening the door, Leach broke it open and Sherlock took Samborne prisoner, when Mason told the people openly, -- This is what you shall all come to"
Was Puritan but was under considerable pressure to become Quaker.[citation needed]
John was an “Officer in King William’s War, 1689.”[9]

Marriage and Children

Married 1st, in Hampton, New Hampshire, about 1647, Mary Tucke, daughter of Robert Tuck.[10] Mary (age 40) died on 30 December 1668,[11] ten days after the birth of Benjamin.
Children with Mary Tucke, all born in Hampton:
  1. John Sanborn, born about 1649;[6][8][12] married in Hampton, 19 November 1674, Judith Coffin. [6][8][12] The death date of 3 September 1727, as given in Colonial Families, is questionable.[12] According to the Hampton death records this is for an "Ensign John." Other sources believe the death date is 10 November 1723.
  2. Mary Sanborn, born on 12 April 1651;[8]died in Hampton, October 1654.[13]
  3. Abigail or Abial Sanborn, born on 23 February 1653;[6][8] died in Hampton, 3 January 1743;[6] married in Hampton, 19 February 1677, Ephraim Marston, brewer, son of Thomas.[8]
  4. Richard Sanborn, born on 4 January 1654/5;[6][8] married 1st, in Hampton, 5 December 1678 Ruth Moulton[6][8] died 3 May 1685;[6] married 2nd, in Hampton, 20 December 1693 , as her second husband, Mary (Drake) Boulter, daughter of Abraham Drake.[8]
  5. Mary Sanborn, born on 19 March 1657;[8] died in Hampton, 4 March 1660.[8]
  6. Joseph Sanborn, born on 13 March 1658/59;[6][8] died in Hampton after 15 June 1722 (land deeds to children) and before 25 November 1727 when his widow remarried; married in Hampton, 28 December 1682, as her first husband, Mary Gove, daughter of Capt. Edward Gove.[6][8] No actual death record has been found.
  7. Stephen Sanborn, born on November 1661;[8] died in Hampton, 24 February 1662.[8]
  8. Ann Sanborn, born on 20 November 1662;[6][8] died in Hampton, 4 October 1745;[6][8] married Samuel Palmer.
  9. Nathaniel Sanborn, born on 27 January 1666;[6][8] married (1) Rebecca Prescott, died 10 August 1704, daughter of James Prescott;[6]married (2) Sarah Nason, died September 1748.[6] The death date of 9 November 1723 is questionable. No primary source has been found for it, and his will indicates his estate was inventoried on 28 November 1722.
  10. Deacon Benjamin Sanborn, born on 20 December 1668;[6][8] "Departed this life Decemb'r ye 18th 1740 in ye 71st Year of his Age;[14] married (1), in Hampton, 1690, Sarah Worcester, died 29 January 1719/20, daughter of Timothy Worcester;[6][8] married (2), in Hampton Falls, 7 November 1721, as her third husband, Meribah (Page) Tilton, died before 1724, daughter of Deacon Francis Page; married (3) Abigail (Gove) Dalton, as her second of three husbands, died 8 May 1751, daughter of Captain Edward Gove.
Married 2nd, in Hampton, 2 August 1671, Margaret (Page) Moulton,[15] widow of William Moulton and daughter of Robert Page.[6] At the time of this marriage, Margaret had four minor children -- Sarah (age 14), Ruth (age 12), Robert (age 9) and William (age 7). On 13 July 1699, about six years after John died, Margaret (age 69) died.[16]
Children with Margaret Page:
  1. Captain Jonathan Sanborn, born on 25 May 1672 in Hampton;[6][8] died in Kingston, New Hampshire, 20 June 1741;[8] married Elizabeth Shearborne, daughter of Capt Samuel Sherburne.
DISPUTED CHILD: Dinah Sanborn married James Marston. According to GDMNH: "...Dinah, who from her apparent age (m. 1st 23 July 1678 James Marston) does not fit easily into the fam of John and may have been a dau of Stephen or William."[17]
MISATTRIBUTED CHILD: Martha "Sanborn" was born on 12 February 1655 in Hampton as daughter of John Sanborn and Mary.[18] Her date of birth, however, is too close to Richard's and she is not listed in the other secondary sources. This confusion was caused by a transcription error of the New Hampshire birth register and this record is actually for Martha Woodin born on this day in Hampton. See further analysis in A solution for the Martha Sanborn 1654 mystery. Now what?

Death and Estate

John died in Hampton, New Hampshire, 20 October 1692.[19][20]
His will is not extant and only a part remains:[6]
"And for the confirmation of all above written, I the above said John Samborne Sent have hereunto sett my hand and affix my seal this 10th day of October in the years of our Lorde 1692..."
His estate was inventoried and goods apprised on 2 November 1692 the value amounting to £294.[6]
