Dear Mel Sanford, Yes, Porter B. Sanford, and Burritt Fisher Sanford, were brothers and the sons of Ephraim and Sally (Sedgwick) Sanford of CT. (as shown below in the THIRD GENERATION). Since you inquired about Porter B. Sanford, I indicate here that he had three daughters as shown in the 2nd. generation. Their ancestral line back to Thomas Sanford 'The Immigrant', is: [Ephraim #795, Amos #300, Ephraim #104, Samuel #23, Thomas #5, to Thomas Sanford #1.] If you want more details on any of these, I would be happy to share much more, if you indicate what you wish. I'd like to see a copy of your record of the descendants of Burritt Sanford, at least to yourself, to add to the records that I now have. With kind regards, I hope to hear from you on this List, or direct to me. Sincerely, John D. Sanford, of CA.
