Dear SenecaJ, Yes, there is a lot of information on parts of that line. I am a descendant of Ezekiel SANFORD, son of 'Thomas SANFORD, the immigrant'. My 'direct line' of ancestry is shown below for your information. I would like to see your 'direct line' down to at least yourself. At the present time I have the records of more than 60 of different lines of the descendants of our Ezekiel SANFORD, and I will share any part of it, if you wish to have the information. Your Stephen SANFORD is #164, on page 142 of the "Thomas Sanford books". His son John SANFORD, is #491, and it gives only his birthdate of Oct. 4, 1772, Redding, Ct. If you'd like any of this information, or facts on any of your John's ancestors, I would be happy to provide what I have on them. We have four other living cousins' records, who share that entire line with you - through Joseph Sanford #58 - and all of those before Stephen #164. It was nice to see your message, and I hope to hear from you directly. You may have the names and addresses of the others who NOW share you ancestral line through Joseph.
