From page 73 of Founders of the Massachusetts Bay Colony By Sarah Saunders Smith

I will now take up the lineal line of John4 Sanders whose baptism is recorded first church Salem, Mass. "john4 Sanders, son John and Hannah, born 22-10-l655." He was educated in Salem, and early in life followed the seas. At the age of twenty-one years he was in command of the ship, "John," and in 16S7 made a voyage to England. He was married at Topsfield, 24 Sept. 1688, to Return, born August 16, 1662, daughter of Samuel and Mary Shattuck. Samuel Shattuck was son of the widow Damarius Shattuck, who afterward married Thomas Gardner (uncle by marriage to John3 Sanders.) The wife of John4 Sanders received her name Return on account of the happy return from England of her father with Royal Rescript of lenity to the Quakers, just previous to her birth. Hence the name Return. After his marriage John4 Sanders for a time remained near the interests of his wife's family, who had sought New Hampshire as a more agreeable place of residence, after leaving their farm at Topsfield.

notes

In Mrs.Smith's book the record of this John is inextricably confused with that of John Saunders of Haverhill, son of James (2), grandson of John Saunders of Salisbury.
