Sanders was born in Sturbridge in 1768. His father and mother were both of Medfield stock, though residents of Sturbridge before their marriage. His father was Michael, son of Daniel Sanders, who married in 1715 Sarah Metcalf (13). His mother was Azubah, daughter of Moses Clark (47). His father died of consumption in 1773, and his mother married Ebenezer Fisher of Needham, and removed to that town in 1775.
He was fitted for college by Rev. Samuel West of Needham, and graduated from Harvard in 1788. In 1789, he was made preceptor in the Cambridge High School. He studied theology with Dr. Prentiss of Medfield, taught the North school here in 1790, and was licensed to preach in the same year by the Dedham Association. His first sermon was preached at Medfield. He married Nancy, daughter of Dr. Jabez Fitch of Canterbury, Conn. He was ordained as pastor of the church in Vergennes, Vt., in 1794. In 1798, he preached the Election Sermon. He resigned his pastoral charge to assume the presidency of the University of Vermont, to which he had been elected in 1800, and received the degree of D.D. from Harvard College in 1809. In 1814, the buildings being occupied by the American troops, his family left Burlington May 14, the British flotilla appearing before the town and bombardment being expected.
He came to Medfield in September, and was installed here in the following spring. In 1817, he preached the Artillery Election Sermon in Boston. He was a member of the convention for the revision of the constitution in 1820-21. He preached on many occasions of public interest, and several of his addresses were printed. The first historical sketch of the town was prepared by him, and delivered as a sermon in 1817. After the division of the church and the organization of the Orthodox Congregational church, he signified his readiness to withdraw from the pastoral relation; and on May 24, 1829, his ministry ended.
He continued to reside in town, however, his homestead, which he bought in 1818, being that owned and occupied by Henry S. Brown; and he filled many positions of trust in town affairs. He was representative to the General Court in 1832, 1833, 1834, and 1835, was a member of the board of selectman repeatedly, and prominent on the school committee for several years. He died in 1850, and his wife in the same year."
