About Sanford Family
This is the Sanford family heritage. Arthur Merrill Sanford grew up in Roeder
Township of Whatcom County, Washington. His Mother was Sarah Annie Sharpe
Sanford, and father was Merrill Eugene Sanford. In Nov of 1942 he married
Evelyn Ada Brenn, Hayes, Sanford. He than went off to the War. When he
returned they moved back to her home town of Juneau Alaska, to settle and
raise there Family Lorretta Dawn, Chuck Edwin, Merrill Arthur, Ralph Alton and
Mary Ann Sanford on Basin Road, in the house that Evelyns adopted parents
owned and lived, Charles E. and Phyliss McCormick. This is a work in progress
to find and docuement the heritage of the Sanford family. I have with the
help of many have traced back the Sanfords to at least 1631 "The Great
Migration Begins", a study completed by the New England Historical
Geneological Society has completed. John Sampfort Sanford traveled across the
ocean in 1631 on the second voyage of the LYON, arriving in Boston. His
second wife Brigit Hutchinson was the daughter of the famed Annie Hutchinson
know as the American Jezebel or the Women Who Defied the Puritans. Because of
this and other history of the Sanfords docuementing them back this far has
been guite successful and fullfilling to accomplish. There are many more
stories to be found and added. And as I say this is a work in progress, with
many mistakes an or errors, corrections are gladly accepted, as new
docuementation becomes available. If any one has any Information or history
on a Dorothy Brenn, or the Brenn family around 1900 to 1925 In the Washington
area or Canada, this information would be greatly appreciated. So please
contact me if you have something to add, all knowledge is welcomed and
appreciated on Persons or individuals connected to this family tree. If I can
in any way be of any assistance in you search please
let me know.
