Tom...about all we know about Mary or Marianne Sanford is from census records by her 8 children....some say she was born in Tenn and others say it was Alabama. Her husband John Jackson Martin was killed in Alabama about l862....Mary and the 8 known children arrived in Freestone Co Texas between l865 and l870. Mary died there in l878. When she homesteaded land in Freestone Co in l870 the land was located adjacent to land owned by Alkanah Sanford, born l808 in Lexington Co SC. I have been unable, however, to tie Mary Sanford in to this large Sanford family. John Kulbeth.

I have a missing Mary Sanford born at about the time yours was. This Mary Sanford was born in Henderson Co, TN around 1826 to a Sanford family that settled there about 1820 after coming from Greenville, SC. I have no way of connecting these two however. ----- Original Message ----- From: <KULAND177@cs.com> To: <SANFORD-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, October 10, 2002 5:05 PM Subject: [SANFORD] Re: SANFORD-D Digest V02 #122 > Tom...about all we know about Mary or Marianne Sanford is from census records > by her 8 children....some say she was born in Tenn and others say it was > Alabama.
