Ralph >Carson City, NV >nvjack@intercomm.com >Web Page: http://users.intercomm.com/nvjack/sleeper/sleeper.htm Yes, my Elizabeth Sleeper was another descendant of Thomas Sleeper, b. 1616. (Speaking of which... I've seen two different wives listed for him as the mother of the 8 children-- one Elizabeth Sherburne and one Joan someone-- anyone know which is correct?) My line goes: Thomas Sleeper m. Elizabeth or Joan Aaron Sleeper m. Elizabeth Shaw (not related to my paternal Shaw line, though) Moses Sleeper m. Margaret Sanborn Elizabeth Sleeper m. Reuben Sanborn Anna Sanborn m. George Banfill Benjamin Banfill m. Sarah Mills Benjamin Banfill jr. m. Sarah Place Solon Banfill m. Anna Carson Hail William Hail Banfill-- my paternal grandfather Since Reuben Sanborn was the son of Reuben Sanborn Sr. and Sarah Sanborn I have three separate Sanborn lines-- the main one runs: __ Sanborn m. Ann Bachiller John Sanborn m. Mary Tuck Joseph Sanborn m. Mary Gove Reuben Sanborn m. Sarah Sanborn Sarah's ancestry runs from another son of John Sanborn and Mary Tuck, Benjamin Sanborn (which is where my Benjamin Banfill got his name), who married Sarah Worcester (no information on her ancestry). Margaret Sanborn, wife of Moses Sleeper, was the daughter of Jonathan Sanborn and Elizabeth Sherburne. Jonathan was the son of John Sanborn and his second wife, Mary Page. I've got at least two Sherburne lines, as well-- Elizabeth Sherburne, above, was the daughter of Samuel Sherburne and Love Hutchins. His sister Elizabeth was the grandmother of Mary Lear, who married John Banfill. While there is no positive proof, George Banfill is believed to have been one of their sons. The dates for the Sanborn and Sleeper families and many of the Sherburnes are all on-line at the Hampton library site: http://www.hampton.lib.nh.us/ and, I think, Dick Marston's site as well.
