Hi ,I'm looking for information about this SANFORD line. I'm connected through Lydia Ann SANFORD and William SHEPARD. I obtained most of this information through the LDS Ancestral File. I have not yet begun to verify the lineage. The information for Lydia Ann and William is bang on. I'm hoping that the rest of the information is as good. I'm hoping that I can find someone on this list who will recognize some of these people and be able to provide a bit of corroboration. Each entry is the offspring of the previous entry. Any help will be much appreciated. Chris Thomas SANFORD b. 1607/1608, Hatfield, Broad Oak, Essex, England, m.
