SANBORN .*
The name of Samborne or Sanborn, with its different variations, is not uncommon in America; it is extremely rare in England, however, and all evidences point to there having been but one distinct family of the name from ancient times.
The earliest mention of the family name in Eng. (A. D. 1194) gives it as De Sandeburne, but as early as 1330 it is spelled Samborne or Sambourne. Since the fourteenth century the last two forms have been the accepted English spelling, and the only two branches now in existence in Eng. use these.
The first ancestors in America spelled their name Samborne, and, with or without the final "e," so it was spelled for several generations. Gradually the "m" was changed to "n," until by 1750 the name was spelled as at present, the final "e" being altogether dropped. The original and traditional pro- nunciation in this country was Sahmbourn, with a marked accent on the first syllable. There are several places in Eng. from which our family may have derived its name. Among these is Sambourne, a division of the parish of Warminster, in Wiltshire. The earliest record of the family name in England is associated with Wiltshire; therefore this is probably the place from which the Sambornes took their name.
John, William and Stephen Samborne (for so they spelt the name) were sons of an English Samborne (probably William of Brimpton, Berks.) and Anne, dau. of Rev. Stephen Bachiler. Lieut. John Samborne, b. 1620. Proba- bly 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.

2. RICHARD2 SAMBORNE (John1) b. in Hampton, 4 Jan., 1655; freeman, 25 April, 1678. Lived in Hampton; a soldier from there in garrison at Oyster River, 1696; m. first, 5 Dec., 1676, Ruth, dau. of William Moul- ton of Hampton; she d. 3 May, 1685; m. second, 20 Dec., 1693, Mary, dau. of Abraham Drake of Hampton, and widow of Nathaniel Boulter, Jr., of Hampton.
