Hello Jean, I don't know anything about the people whose names you mentioned, but as you may know, the Sanborns all descend from a family who came from England in 1638 and settled in Hampton, New Hampshire. So if you go back a few generations there is certainly going to be a link between my family and yours. Have you looked for your people in the 1899 Sanborn genealogy book? It may be available online through the familysearch.org site (I'm not sure, but worth a look). You might also want to contact the Genealogist for the Sanborn Family Association. It used to be me, but now it is Raymond Wing. Contact wing_genealogist@yahoo.com. They have a database of the above-mentioned book as well as numerous updates and corrections. I know that a lot of the Sanborns went to Ohio, and other states. Good luck filling in the line! My Sanborn research now is focussed on the English ancestry.

Thanks for the great tips, George. The Sanborns married into my Chaney line and I always add as much information about the collateral ancestors as I can. George and Rebecca Chaney Sanborn didn't have children so the line ends with them. Good luck with your research in England. Jean On 4/25/2011 11:57 AM, George F.
