Ann Sanders

Biography

All of what I know about Ann comes from reading deeds and probate records. Her maiden name and origins are unknown. We know she died after 21 Oct 1670 when after the death of her husband she sold a portion of their land. "Ann Sanders, executrix of the last will of her lately deceased husband John Sanders Senior of Cape Porpus, with the consent of Thomas Sanders, eldest son of the deceased, sells Andrew Alger of Cape Porpus…” for 7 pounds, 100 acres at Cape Porpus now in possession of Mr. Francis Johnson of Boston," 21 Oct. 1670. Here Richard Palmer (Grace Sander’s second husband makes his mark and gives his Oath as a witness). (York Deeds, Volume 2: Fol 127 (in Google Books p 379). His wife Ann died after 21 Oct 1670.
