In a message dated 97-08-03 17:47:20 EDT, you write: << Barry, Sorry I can't help you. My Sanford line goes back to John Sanford, Born in 1605 in Alford, Lincolnshire, England. As a young man, he went to Massachesetts, USA. If anyone else on the list is connected with John Sanford who came from Alford, or has any information on his ancestors before 1605, please get in touch with me. Ken Sanford Duillier, Switzerland >> Ken, While I realize that you are looking for ancestors of John SANFORD, I am looking for ancestors of my SANFORD - Mary who married David KENYON. I would love to tie into a line that goes back to the early 1600s! Mary SANFORD would have been born in the early 1700s, and I believe that Mary and David resided in Charlestown, RI. Do you or anyone on the list know of this Mary? Any help or suggestions of a good source would be appreciated. Kim
