I apologize for possibly wasting others' time. New at this, have apparently not yet used proper syntax for archive search. Also cannot connect to server when attempting alternate rootsweb search vehicles. To the point... Looking for information on ancestors, additional data on, Ephraim Sanford and Mary St. John. According to my mother, he was a colonel in Kansas National Guard after the civil war. He and wife (Mary St. John) apparently moved from Genesee region of New York state to Kansas, possibly to tilt state anti-slave. Don't know where in Kansas. Talk of family knowing John Brown. Ephraim and Mary had (at least) two children, Mary Emily and another daughter, probably named Louise. Louise married, went to California, where she and husband ran a vineyard, communicated with sister Mary Emily, but they never saw each other again. (In late 1920s, my mom remembers a barrel of grapes sent to Mary Emily from Louise.) Mary Emily was my great-grandmother. She was born in Kansas in late 1860s, her parents were born in New York state. Mary Emily married James MacLatchie Nicol. Their son, Warren Sanford Nicol, was born in Carbondale, Pa. on Sept. 23, 1895. Also, Ephraim had an ancestor who escaped from the Wyoming massacre in late 1700s (Wilkes Barre area, Pa.). This ancestor was part of group of Connecticut settlers who came to Pa., both Connecticut and Pa. apparently disputing ownership of the area post-Revolution. Of those fleeing, some went back to Connecticut, some ended up in Towanda, Pa (Bradford county?). Don't know which group Ephraim's ancestor was a part of. That's all I know at this point. Lacking more info from my mom, list members should be spared my impenetrable prose. Thanks for your patience. Bruce Rockwell ([email protected])

Hi I saw a few days ago someone sent out a list of SANFORDS they found in a cemetary in Canada... from Nova Scotia. My Mother is researching a line of SANFORDS in that part of Canada, after forwarding that e-mail to her I deleted it from my server... :( And as we all know, e-mail is like snail mail, it is never guarenteed getting there... and in this case it did not. If the person that sent that out to begin with could please send it out one more time I would greatly appreciate it. If not to the entire list, then just to me... thank you very much. Sorry for being so stupid. :) But that happens when I do my research and e-mailing at 3:30 am. :) Mary Bacha Bradford, McKean County, PA [email protected] "Genealogy: Not just a hobby, it's a lifestyle." _____________________________________________________________________ You don't need to buy Internet access to use free Internet e-mail.

Hi there, Anyone out there doing any work on the Sandiford Family from Joliet, IL? I'm looking for any info relating to Mark Sandiford born 1837 in England and died in 1907, probably in Joliet. He married Dorothy Isherwood, born 1839 in England(?) and d. 1907 Joliet(?). They had two daughters and a son (name unknown) The daughters were Alice Sandiford born June 2, 1864 (Joliet)-d.1931 in LaGrange, IL and Emily Sandiford, born 1868. Alice Sandiford was my ggrandmother and married Frank Emerson Ward (1866-1946). I have lots of info on that family and great old pictures, but the Sandifords are a bit of a mystery. Anybody have a clue? Many Thanks, Susan

Wonderful news, Sandie. The first time the internet has brought a tear to my eye! May you have many many joyous hours together. To anybody searching - don't ever give up. I found a photo of my father-in-laws mother in time for his 80th birthday - he had never known what happened to her or what she looked like. It was well worth the frustration of climbing brickwalls over and over again.

To All: I am so busy-brained right now so I want to take this way to say "Thank You" to all you wonderful people for your emails... God Bless Sandie

Hello All, I thought I would like to let you all know my great news. I am sure some of you remember when I told you I was searching for my son. It seems that CNet has joined with AOL to help reunite adoptees and birthparents. Well, I am a part to their success in their newly combined efforts and if I remember correctly there has been 134 successes since this started. I had registared with the AOL registry some time ago. Seems my son contacted CNet last evening. I just got off the phone with him and to put it in one word, I am elated!!!!! If any of you know of someone who has need of this type of service I highly recommend you contact [email protected] Thanks for listening and I appreciate all the well wishes and support that you all have given me. Sandie

See what you think about this, Llewellyn W. Jenkins b: 1770/75 in Wales, m: Patience Joscelyn, b: 1775 Dutchess, Co. NY d: 1855 Andes, Dela. Co. NY. They had 10 children, 7 child was a son John b: 1820 , 9 child was dau. Phebe b: 1825/27. I have no further info on either of them other than abstract of Llewellyn W.'s will in which are mentioned. If you would like contact ms. Charlotte LaGurardia, PoBox 563, Cobleskill, NY, 12043- 0563, by snail mail she is working that line. Good luck Paul in Fl., 57 yrs upstate NY.

Phebe Jenkins, my gggrandmother, was born in Dry Brook, NY in September of 1829 to John and Abbie Jenkins. In 1851 she became the second wife of Riley Sanford of Halcottsville, Delaware, NY. They had at least two children: Charles H., b. 1857 and Esther, b. 1864 (my ggrandmother). I was not too surprised to find that the death transcript that I recieved for her this week states that she was 78 at the time of her death 30 January 1902, which gives a range for her birth from 1823 to 1829. What was news to me was that there were any names known for her parents. I have, with cursory web searches, found a potential match in John Jenkins and Abigail Hall. Does anyone have any information that would serve to verify this? Dave Dickman mailto:[email protected] http://www.netcom.com/~softbear/my_pages.html
