Anthony Colby was living in Ipswich, Mass. on 27 Jun 1637 when he sued John Hall of Lynn (RECORDS AND FILES OF THE QUARTERLY COURTS OF ESSEX COUNTY, 9 vols.

BIRTH: No birth/chr rec found. John is called grandson in deed a from Stephen Bachiler, 20 Apr 1647 (New Hampshire Province Deeds, 13:221 [FHL #015415]). Stephen Bachiler, his wife Helen, and dau Ann Sandburn, age 30, applied for a license to pass beyond the sea to visit Stephen's sons and daughters in Flushing, Holland in Jun 1631 (Henry F. Waters, "Genealogical Gleanings in England," NEHGR, 45[1891]:237 [FHL #974B2ne]). John is apparently the son of widow Ann Sandburn, but John's father is unknown. John's date of birth is calculated from a deposition, dated 7 Sep 1680, in which he declared he was about 60 yrs old (New Hampshire Province Court Papers, 5:243 [FHL #980934]).

MAR #2: Sanborn, VITAL RECORDS OF HAMPTON, 1:564. The wife is called Margaret "Moulton" in this entry. She was apparently the widow of William Moulton of Hampton, whose will, n.d., proved 11 Oct 1664, mentions his wife Margaret (PROBATE RECORDS OF THE PROVINCE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE, 1:66-70). The will of Robert Page of Hampton, 9 Sep 1679-11 Nov 1679, identifies his dau Margaret Sanborn, her Moulton children and her son Jonathan Sanborn (Ibid, 1:236-41). Hence, Margaret Page married (1) William Moulton, (2) John Sanborn.
