Helen & Sue I checked my copy of Carleton E. Sanford's (CES) book. Concur with Sue re: William Sanford's children, no daughter named "Currance" nor are the Reeds that Helen mentioned indexed in CES. Cyrenus Sanford is CES #773. (Ezekiel 292, Samuel 103, Samuel 23, Thomas 5, Thomas 1.) He was b. 1775 in CT, d. May 28 1858, Buffalo Grove, IL, age 83; m. Anner Hubbel of Hubbel Hill, Delaware Co., NY... "Mr. Sanford removed from Connecticut to Hubbel Hill, where he resided twenty-four years. In 1834, he moved to Buffalo Grove, Ill., and became one of its earliest settlers. They had eleven children...." Of these, the second child, Albion Sanford, is shown as having married (first name unknown) Moats. Steve Stephen J.

(If I figure that right, and we have the same no. of generations from Wm. Sanford my 4gr father, by his children Charles Clark and Charlotte.) Besides the double descendancy, I consider William one of my most interesting ancestors since he and his wife Huldah (Hull) were among the 20 families who came to Delaware Co. to resettle it in the 1790's. I checked the partial copy of Carlton Sanford's genealogy of Thos. Sanford (imm. 1634?) and see a serious conflict in information, though. William's children are listed as Charles Clark, Phebe (b. Sept. 16, 1793), Amy, Polly Ann, Ziba, Betsey, John, Charlotte, William, Lucy, Roxana and Maransa. There is also a list of persons bequeathed to in his will, which matches so I think the list is complete. No Currance, and I think this is pretty accurate because of the will. Another possible conflict - the date they moved from Litchfield Co., CT to Delaware Co. is estimated as 1797. I don't know if there's info. on where children were born or something else to fix that date, though I think it's likely earlier. I don't have index to Carlton Sanford, but William Sanford's "distant-relation" Cyrenus Sanford is said to have come to Delaware Co. at the same time, so that could be the family. (Does anyone out there with Carlton know about Cyrenus? I got this info from "As the River Runs", a history of Halcottsville, which I heard to from another of William's descendants.) We also have information about Huldah Hull's family with a couple lines back to 1600's. Sue Burt [email protected]
