The Sanford line I am searching is: Ezekiel (b. 1636 Dorchester, MA) Ezekiel Jr. (b. 1668 Fairfield CT) m. Rebecca Gregory Joseph Hawley Sanford (b. 1697 Fairfield CT) m. Katherine Fairchild dau. Phebe Sanford (b. 1729 Redding, CT) m. Israel White dau. Phebe White (b. April 3, 1769 Redding, CT) m. Ezra Benton My Bentons arrived in New England in 1630, and moved quickly to CT. The family lore is that we descend from an Israel White who is a Mayflower descendant, but I haven't been able to make this connection. Any ideas? Gary E. Irwin; Moraga, CA
