Anyone recognize any of these Sanford/Stanford's? The Mary ?, mar. to Greenberry Sanford in Sabine Parish, La., may or may not be the same person as the Elizabeth or Bettie later in Cherokee Co., Tx. I suspect they are the same person, but Greenberry did have two marriages. I just found the N. Stanford family and I'm not sure if there are any connections there, but any time I see the name GREEN attached to any form of the name Sanford/Samford/Stanford/, I try to copy it. Any help is appreciated! Sherry Descendants of ??? Sanford Generation No. 1 1. ???1 SANFORD was born Unknown in Alabama1, and died Unknown. He married ???. Child of ??? SANFORD and ??? is: 2. i.
