I've "rescued" an old photograph of John J. SANBORN
of Washington D. C. No photographer or studio location indicated,
however, the photograph appears to have been taken in the 1870's
or 1880's with John
likely in his 40' at the time. Based on limited research, I was
able to locate the following information regarding John:
John Jay SANBORN, b. 6 Sept 1840 the son of John Jatau SANBORN
(b. 1 Mar 1797 in Boston, MA) and Laura SWASEY (b.4 Dec 1809).
The couple was married Aug. 1837.
Census records provide the following additional information
regarding the family:
- 1860 census of Charleston, VA:
- John J. SANBORN, age 63, Teacher, born MA
Laura SANBORN, age 53, born MA
John J. SANBORN, age 19, an Assistant Teacher, born VA
-
- 1870 census of Washington, DC:
- John J. SANBORN, age 30, a Bank Clerk, born VA
Laura SANBORN, age 58, Keeps House, born NH
-
- 1880 census of Washington, DC: (living in a boarding house
or apartment home
belonging to Nancy W. CUSHING)
- Laura D. SANBORN, age 65, born NH, parents born NH
John Jay SANBORN, age 40, born VA, at Home, parents born MA/NH
-
- 1900 census of Washington, DC:
- John J. SANBORN, age 59, born Sept 1840, born VA, parents
born MA/NH
-
- I am hoping to locate someone from John's family so that
this wonderful old photograph can be returned to its rightful
place with family. If you are amember of this family, or you
know someone who might be, please contact me.
