THE SANBORN FAMILIES.
No other name is so largely or more honorably represented, either among the original grantees, the first settlers, or the subsequent inhabit- ants of the town which has appro- priately received therefrom its des- ignation of Sauboruton. Authorities huve ditfered as to the etymology, and formerly, among the fathers of our town, as to the spelling of the word ; whether .. Sandborn," indicat- ing a pristine residence upon a sandy shore, or " Samboru," from a parish or hamlet of that name in England. It is, however, agreed that the origi- ual ancestor (traditionally),

HISTORY OF SANBORNTON.
1. JOAN' SANBORN, was b. about 1600; m. the dau. of Rev. Ste- · phen Bachilor, and lived and d. in Derbyshire, England. His widow, with her father and three sons, afterwards came to this country, landed at Bostou in 1632 ; proceeded to Lynn, Mass., thenee to Newbury, and, in 1638, to the old Hampton Colony of our State, where the grandfather, though over 70 years of age, remained a few years as the first pastor, with Rev. Timothy Dalton as teacher, and returning to England, there d., at the age of 100. The three sons of [1] were :
2. Jonx2, b. 1620 (?) ; was a lieutenant, and many years a selectman and representative to the General Court, from Hampton ; m., 1st, Mary Tucke ; m., 2d, Widow Margaret Moulton, and d. Oct. 20, 1692, ae. 72. Eleven children, seven sons. (His descend- ants, as traced in Sanborntou and elsewhere, are said to be of the John branch.)
3. WILLIAM", Esq., b. about 1622; m. Mary Moulton ; was also selectman and representative of Hampton, and there d., Sept. 18, 1692, a month before his brother, ae. 70. Six children, four sons. (His descendants constitute the Esq. William braneh.)
4. STEPHEN, the third brother, is supposed to have returned to England with his grandfather Bachilor.
We propose, in this genealogy, to trace those of the descendants of [2] and [3], so far as possible, who were connected with our town, or whose lines have been projected through it. The race has ever proved a solid and reliable one, " contributing their full proportion to the bone and muscle as well as the intelligence, enterprise," and moral worth of this Sanbornton community, not less than of the parent colony of Hamp- ton. We must despair of embrae'ng all these descendants, even within the limits proposed, for as early as 1809 there were said to be sixty lam- ilies by the name of Sanborn in the town. No fewer than 120 bearing the name have been enrolled as members of the Central Congregational Church, and it is presumed that the other church registers in town would show a similar record. We shall first enter the names, and, as far as needful for our purpose, the immediate families of the twelve Sanborns among the original petitioners of 1748, who were afterwards grantees of the town. following the two branches in genealogical order. (In establishing the pedigrees, much assistance has been derived from the ". Sanborn Genealogy," pamphlet edition, by Dr. Nathan Sanborn [451], of Ilenniker, which also supplies the foregoing coat of arms.)

17. EBENEZER5 (John4, Richard3, John?, John1), grantee, thirty- ninth on the " Petition," Lots 68 and 62; seventh ehild and sixth son of Ens. John4, b. March 4 (15), 1712. He was a man of promi- nence in Hampton, being town elerk, selectman, and sheriff of the county for many years. By trade he was a bookbinder, as well as tanner and shoemaker. A venerable tome, one of the first editions of "Calvin's Institutes " ever published in English, is now in the family of Deneon A. B. Sanborn [411], which was left with this great-grand- father, just before his death, to be rebound. But it was never called for, and hence lias descended, still unbound, as an heirloom. Ile was also a commissioned officer in the old Freneh war, under George III. ; was a man of powerful frame ; could fearlessly cower down all insults and violent attempts from such as would seek in private to satisfy their grudges against him for his publie acts as a sheriff! IIe m Ruth5 Sanborn [32], April 1, 1735, and d.

April 19, 1753. " He was a man of ability and influence ; represented the town of' Hampton many years in the provincial government," and was the intimate friend of Gov. B. Wentworth. His age and experience gave hiin the first place among the grantees, so that he was naturally dele- gated to obtain, from the Masonian heirs, the grant of the town of Sanbornton, Dec. 31, 1748 (see Proprietary History). Through the lines of both his oldest and youngest children, as below, he appears as the immediate progenitor of a larger number of the Sanborns, and of the inhabitants of Sanbornton, than any other man ; and the town is thought to have been named in the honor of himself more than of any other individual. Children :

IIe m, Ist, Theodate Drake, Feb. 22, 1733 (perhaps m., 2d, Deborah Bowman ( ?), April 8, 1770) , was a marked and very peculiar man ; lived and d. in Exeter; there called " Josiah Dote," which sobriquet attached to his two grandsons (sons?), who settled in this town.

43. WILLIAM4 (Josiah3, William2, Jolin1), is also here introduced, from the fourth generation, for the sake of his two younge-t sons, one of whom was grantee, and both immediate progenitors of early settlers and present residents in town.

67. JABEZ' (Josiah3, William2, John1), grantee of Hampton, 28th on " Petition," Lots 6 and 67, fourth child and second son of Josiah3, hence brother of [43] ; was b. March, 1691; in., Ist, unknown ; m., 2d, Abiah Marston, and lived at the Falls. Of his children - cleven in number, eight living in 1768- two, and possibly three, were also grantees, and, as seen in the " Identification of Lots," his own, 2d Div. Lot, No. 67, came into the hands of his son Abraham. We give the record of his children who were connected with Sanbornton :
68. ABIAL, b. Sept. 11, 1721; third dau., fourth child; in. (see [02]).
69. JOSIANI [73], b. March 21, 1723; fifth chilld; grautee (?).
70. MARSTON, b. March 25, 1727; third son, seventh child; grantec, of Hampton; ilfty-ninth (last but one) on ' Petition," Lots 62 and 72.
71. ABRAHAM, b. April 7, 1729; fourth son, eighth child of [07] ; grantec, of Hampton ; twenty-ninth on " Petition"; Lots 23 and 36 (see also under [67]).
72. JONATHAN4, grantee, of Ilampton ; forty-ninth on " Petition "; Lots 47 and 15; was most likely the brother of [67], and, if so, the seventh child and third son of Josiah3 ( William2, John1), b. April 27, 1697, d., unin., March 2, 1757, in his COth year ; though he may have been son of Capt. Jonathan3 (John2, John1), b. April 28, 1700 (doubtful because of Kensington ?), or, yet less probably, the first child of Richard4 (Nathaniel3, John2, Jolin1), b. Feb. 18, 1714.
(We have thus introduced the names of the twelve grantees who bore the name of Sanborn, though in respect to two others besides the one last given [72], there exists considerable uncertainty (see [73], [79], and [191]).
73. JOSIANS [69] (Jabez4, Josiah3, etc ), is re-entered here so as to bring his children, who settled in Sanbornton, into the same range, genealogieally, with others of the sixth generation. Ilis age would favor the supposition that he may have been the grantee instead of [191] (see), but less probably, as he was less probably "of Exeter." He m. Jemima -; lived in Epping, and there d., 1770 ; will made May 29, and proved Oct. 31, in which he mentions his tive children, as below, and his brother Abraham [71], as then of Exeter. Children :

SIXTH GENERATION. - JOHN BRANCH.
79. DANIELG, Jr. [9] (Daniel5, John4, Richard3, etc.). If, as gener- ally supposed, this was the Daniel, Jr., of Hampton, grantee, he was sixth on the " Petition" - name following that of his father, though he could not have been but 173 years of age when he signed - and drew Lots 28 and 10. Should this be questioned (see under [72]), the honor of the granteeship must have fallen upon some other Daniel, who was of age, in 1748, - perhaps upon [45], in case be hailed from Hampton. It is now impossible to render the matter certain. He [79] is known, however, to have been most closely identified with the earliest settlement and history of the town. Being a young man of energy, and of a good education, he was chosen " survair," at the age of 21, for the committee who laid out the 2d Div. of Lots (1752), and thus became intimately acquainted with the surface and topography of the town. Ilis name is also prominent in the other projects of the proprietors connected with the first settlement, and he built the first mill, in the spring of 1764. He had m. Luey, dau. of James and Luey Hobbs, 1751, and located in North Hampton. She was b. 1734, and d., in this town, July 15, 1813, ae 79. The time of their arrival, as a family, is fixed by the birth date of their ninth child [88], at the early summer of 1766, though he had come with some of his goods the February preceding ; for it is atlirmed that the horse which brought Mrs. S. to town was " driven hard," in order that she might arrive at his cousin Sergt. John Sanborn's [112], in season for the expected event! Meanwhile, he had gained possession of an excellent lot of land (No. 14, 1st Div.) near the present Square, and previously to their arrival had partially built there the first house, which was after- wards enlarged into the tavern stand, so long a landmark, and of late replaced by the present residence of Thomas M. Jaques. He also originally owned much of the land on the lots adjoining, on the west, and early had several of his children settled around him. By Petition of the Proprietors (see Gen. History), and also of the inhabitants. he was commissioned by Gov. John Wentworth, in 1771, as the first jus- tice of the peace in town, being " most heartily recommended as the most suitable person for keeping and promoting peace and concord
