The name of Samborne or Sanbotn, with its different variations, is not uncommon in America; it is extremely rare in England, however, and all evidences point to there having been but one distinct family of the name from ancient times. The earliest mention of the family name in Eng. (A.D. 1194) gives it as De Sandeburne, but as early as 1330 it is spelled Samborne or Sambourne. Since the fourteenth century the last two forms have been the accepted English spelling, and the only two branches now in existence in Eng. use these. The first ancestors in America spelled their name Samborne, and, with or without the final "e," so it was spelled for several generations. Gradually the "m" was changed to "n," until by 1750 the name was spelled as at present, the final "e" being altogether dropped. The original and traditional pronunciation in this country was Sahmbourn, with a marked accent on the first syllable. There are several places in Eng. from which our family may have derived its name. Among these is Sambourne, a division of the parish of Warminster, in Wiltshire. The earliest record of the family name in England is associated with Wiltshire; therefore this is probably the place from which the Sambornes took their name. John, William and Stephen Samborne (for so they spelt the name) were sons of an English Samborne (probably William of Brimpton, Berks.) and Anne, dau. of Rev. Stephen Bachiler. Lieut. John Samborne, b. 1620. Probably in Hampton in 1640, since he was then granted a house-lot and a tract of land there. In 1643, his name is signed to a Hampton petition; and from this date the records contain frequent mention of him. 1. LIEUT. JOHN(1) SAMBORNE m. first, Mary, dau. of Robert Tuck of Hampton.

He was the son of Edward Scales, and nephew of the Rev. James Scales who was noted in the early history of C. Edward, Sr., and James were great-grandsons of William(1) Scales of Rowley, Mass., who was one of the company that began the settlement of that town in 1640, coming mostly from Rowley, Eng. William Scales was b. about 1612. The place of his birth is not known. It may have been in London, and his parents may have been William and Margaret (Greene) Scales, she the dau. of Robert Greene. The Scales family in Eng., dates from the landing of William, the Conqueror, in 1066. The origin of the name came from that commander of the division of King William's army, which came over to Eng. with him from Normandy, whose duty it was to scale the walls of a besieged city when the proper time came to make such an assault. This general's name was Hugh; they had only one name then; in the history of the time, he is called Hugh de Eschalers and Hugh de Scalerius; that Hugh was commander of the Scalers of the city walls and fortifications. Page 303 In about three centuries the "de" was dropped, so instead of James de Scales, it became James Scales. Members of the Scales family won fame and high honors in the crusades and the various English wars. 1. WILLIAM(1) SCALES, the immigrant, lived in Rowley, Eng., in 1638. He came with others to Boston or Salem in 1639, and later settled in Rowley, Mass. He was accompanied by his wife, Ann, and three children. He was made a freeman, 13 May, 1640, and served his townsmen in various official positions. His wife Ann, whose maiden name is not known, d. 26 Sept., 1682. 2. JAMES(2) SCALES (William(1)) b. in 1654; d. in 1686. He was a farmer and inherited the homestead of his father in Rowley village, where he resided.
