       "Lieutenant John Sanborne was born in 1620. [Disposition in Norfolk County files.] He was probably in Hampton, New Hampshire, 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 that date the records contain frequent mention of him.  His house in Hampton was next to that of Stephen Bachiler and nearly opposite the old meeting house.  On February 2, 1657, he was chosen selectman, and was six times afterwards selected to fill the same office, although not a freeman until May, 1666. In 1664 he was chosen ensign, and October 18, 1670, was commissioned lieutenant of Hampton forces.  In 1683 he was chosen representative to the next general assembly.  His inventory dated October 20, 1692, places the value of his property at 294 pounds, 14 shillings.
    Dow's "History of Hampton" says he served as lieutenant in King Williams' war in 1689. He died October 20, 1692.
       Lieutenant John Sanborne married (first) Mary, daughter of Robert Tuck, of Groton, Suffolk, and Hampton, New Hampshire. {1}  She died December 30, 1668.  He married (second) Margaret (Page) Moulton, widow of William Moulton, and daughter of Robert Page of Ormsby, Norfolk, England and Hampton, New Hampshire. {2}"

{1}  As eldest son, John, was born about 1649, it is presumed that John
     Sanborne and Mary Tuck were married around 1648.
{2}  Second marriage would have been after death of first wife in 1668, hence
      1669/70.
