I want to thank all those great responses I got from my Greenberry Sanford query. I could be wrong but I think there are several matches. I'm pretty sure that the info. from Peggy on 1850 & 1870 Shelby Co., Tx. match my original Green Sanford I found in 1880 in Sabine Parish, La. Some of the dates of birth and places of birth vary, sometimes by alot, from one census to the next, but taking into consideration that census info. can be the fault of the census taker and/or the family giving the info. From 1900 Cherokee Co., Tx. census I see that neither Greenberry nor his wife, Elizabeth could read or write. I think there is a match from Pat Childs on the Greenberry, child of first marriage of Greenberry, Sr., b. abt 1877, married Mary Milbury Cannon in Nacogdoches Co., Tx. and died 2 July 1960 in Harris Co., Houston, Tx. The info. from Sandy and Shirley on Greenberry Sanford, mar. to Permilia Weaver are matches to one another. How or if this Green ties into my Green is unknown to me. I know my Greenberry did have two marriages, so is the Mary in Sabine Parish, La. & the Elizabeth/Bettie M. in Cherokee Co., Tx. the same person? Could Permila have been a first wife, or I was also wondering about the possiblity of the father, Thomas, b.Ga., age 35, in 1850 Shelby Co., Tx., being named Greenberry Thomas Sanford, or Thomas Greenberry and he perhaps was the person married to Permelia? Jean provided info. on Lewis Greenbury m. Mandy Short in Tuscaloosa Co., Ala., b. abt. 1846. Does anyone have any ideas on if there are any other connections here? Does anyone mind if I post bits and pieces of info. I've gathered on Sanfords', most of which are not the family I've been searching for, but I thought might help someone else here. Sherry
