    "ORIGIN: Unknown.
    MIGRATION: 1635 on the Elizabeth & Ann (on 13 April 1635, 'Nic[h]olas Sension,' aged 13, was enrolled at London as a passenger for New England on the Elizabeth & Ann [Hotten 58]). …
    CHURCH MEMBERSHIP: 'Nicolas Senchon' was in an undated section of the list of Windsor church members [Grant 7]. …
    FREEMAN: On 9 April 1657, 'Nic[holas] Sension is made a freeman' [CCCR 1:294]. 'Nicolas Senchon' is in the 11 October 1669 list of Windsor freemen [CCCR 2:520]. On 29 May 1677, Nicholas Sension was disfranchised …
    BIRTH: About 1622 (aged 13 on 13 April 1635 [Hotten 58]).
    DEATH: Windsor 18 September 1689 {CTVR 57]."

    Nicholas' previously estimated date of birth was proved to be off by about four years based on the research of Jerome Santken. His disfranchisement was related to his 1677 indictment and trial for sodomy, discussed at length by Anderson.

    "Nicholas1 Santken (later Sension), bp. (St. Olave Silver Street, London) 1 Jan. 1617[/8]; m. Windsor, Conn., 12 June 1645, Isabel _____; no children. In 1635, when Nicholas sailed for New England, his age was given as 13, whereas the baptismal record shows that he was actually over 17 at the time. Examination of a microfilm copy of the original of the 1635 London port book shows that '13' is the correct reading, but perhaps '18' was intended, and a clerical error was made."
