THE SANBORN FAMILIES
The Sanborns of America are the descendants of the Sam- bornes or Sambournes of England. These names appear on the records of England from the middle of the 12th century. The ancestor of a large part at least of the Sanborns of New Eng- land was John Samborne, b. in England, a few years previous to 1600. He m. a dau. of Rev. Stephen Bachiler, and d. in England in 1632, leaving three sons : John, b. 1620 ; William, b. 1622 ; Stephen, b. 1624. Rev. Stephen Bachiler came to Amer- ica in the ship William and Francis, and landed in Boston June 5, 1632, in company with the three sons named above. They all settled in Lynn, and here Mr. Bachiler, though over seventy years of age, was pastor of a church. Difficulties arose and he removed to Ipswich, and, in 1638, to Hampton, where he was installed as first pastor of the Congregational church there. The Sanborns of Bristol are the descendants of the first two of the three sons named. In the early years of New Chester all spelled the name Sandborn.
