https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Sanborn-13

William Sanborn was born about 1622, the son of Unknown Sanborn (perhaps John, the son of Edward Sanborne & Margaret) and Ann Bachiler (daughter of Stephen Bachiler and Ann Bate, and who married Henry Atkinson second).

He migrated in 1632 aboard the "William and Francis," which left London on 9 Mar 1632 and arrived 5 Jun 1632[3], along with his grandfather, Stephen Bachiler, who settled first at Saugus, Massachusetts Bay.[4] “ Along with his brothers, he came to New England with his maternal grandfather Reverend Stephen Bachiler.”

William Sanborn appears at Hampton, Province of New Hampshire, by 1643[5]

He married Mary Moulton before 23 Jan 1649 and likely by 1644.[1][6][7][8]

He became a freeman in 1651, while living in Hampton, Norfolk, Massachusetts Bay, and was selectman multiple times between 1651 and 1683.[9][10]

During the years 1675 to 1676, he served as a soldier in King Philip's war under Maj. Samuel Appleton[11], including participation in the Siege of Brookfield (Quaboag).[12][13][14]

He died on 18 Nov 1692 in Hampton[15][10][6][7], and his will was probated in 1692 in New Hampshire. It mentions his wife Mary and sons Stephen, Josiah, Mephibosheth, and William.[16]
