--------------------- Forwarded message: From: [email protected] (jfrazier) To: [email protected] Date: 97-09-02 03:41:26 EDT the SANFORD lady I am interested in is the daughter of an Alabama State Senator Henry Chambers Sanford. She married a BEDWELL and they had a daughter, Mary L. BEDWELL. The only thing I'm positive of is: Mary L. BEDWELL m. Thomas FRAZIER. (1877-1878) 1880 Alabama Census Soundex vol. 4 ed 30, sheet 23 line 1, Cherokee County Thomas Frazier, white male, age 21 born in Alabama Mary Bedwell white, age 17, born in ala. Henry R., son age 2, born in AL Thomas married when he was 18 or 19 and his wife, Mary was 14 or 15. Henry Chambers Sanford had several daughters and every first name begins with an L. The enumerator spelled the names differently each year to make the chore more difficult. I have different reports from direct descendants. Even historical articles on Henry Chambers Sanford do not agree on the spelling of the daughters. Then to further complicate the search, the girls use a middle name or initial from year to year depending on the census. Which L. SANFORD, daughter married ? BEDWELL. (When and Where) Where in Alabama was their daughter, Mary L. BEDWELL born? I know there are a lot of cousins researching this line as I have read the lists diligently but to no avail.
