This is interesting. I recently found out that my paternal great-grandmother was Nancy C. Sanford who married John Henry Coker in Tippah Co., MS around 1865. Nancy is listed on the 1850 & 1860 Tippah Co. census living with her parents, William B. Sanford & Elinder Sanford. WBS was born ca 1820 in NC and his wife is from SC. WBS was also a "hatter." I suppose that explains the continuing madness in my immediate family. Anyone with info about William B. Sanford or Isaiah Sanford of Walker Co, AL. (I believe they were brothers) please email me @ [email protected] Isaiah Sanford's granddaughter, Lucinda Sanford, married John Henry & Nancy Coker's son, Joel Hardy Coker of Union Co, MS on 14 Jun 1899. This may also explain some of the madness. Thanks.
