1. "The ancestry of Lorenzo Ackley & his wife Emma Arabella Bosworth," edited by Donald L. Jacobus, p. 83:
"Richard Sanford of Stanstead Mountfitchet, co. Essex, Eng., was buried 16 Nov. 1591; married Elizabeth --, buried 15 Sept. 1600.
Their son, Thomas Sanford, a glover, of Much Hadham, co. Herts, was buried 6 Apr. 1597; married first, at Stanstead Mountfitchet, 21 Sept. 1581, Friswith Eve, who was buried 24 Nov. 1581; married second Mary - , who married second, 9 Aug. 1597, John Haddesley, and was buried 19 Aug. 1620. His will called John Mellett and John Lewes his brothers-in-law.
Ezekiel Sanford, eldest child by the second wife, baptized at Much Hadham, 20 Feb. 1585/6; married -- Warner, daughter of John Warner of Hatfield Broad Oak, co. Essex, and sister of Andrew Warner, a founder of Hartford, Conn. He may have lived at Hatfield Broad Oak until 1612, was certainly of Stanstead Mountfitchet from then until after 1624, and was of Margaretting, co. Essex, by 1635.
Children, some baptized at Stanstead Mountfitchet:
i. Thomas, b. abt. 1608.
ii. John, b. abt. 1610; buried at Stanstead Mountfitchet, 5 Sept. 1679; m. Olim --, bur. 16 Jan. 1674/5.
iii. Ezekiel, bapt. 26 Dec. 1612.
iv. Robert, bapt. 1 Nov. 1615.
v. Andrew, bapt. 1 Nov. 1617; d. at Milford, Conn., in 1684 (will dated 6 Sept., proved 12 Nov.); settled in Hartford, where his first wife, Mary, was convicted of witchcraft and executed in 1662; removed to Milford, where he had a second wife, whose name is not known.
vi. Samuel, bapt. 25 Nov. 1619; buried 5 Dec. 1619.
vii. Mary, bapt. 13 Feb. 1621/2.
viii. Jonathan, bapt. 18 Jan. 1623/4.
ix. Zachary, almost certainly a later child of Ezekiel; settled early in Saybrook, Conn., where he d. 23 Dec. 1668; m. Hannah Rockwell of Windsor, who d. 15 Jan. 1664/5.
x. Nathaniel, perhaps the youngest son of Ezekiel; settled in Hartford, where he d. by 1687; probably m. (l) --, mother of his only dau. Mary (b. abt. 1659); m. (2) by 1665 Susanna (Clark) Kelly, who m. (3) John Buttolph."
2. Relationship mentioned in the will of father John Warner filed 16 Jul 1614. Her husband Ezekiel and sons Thomas, John, and Ezekiel are named as well. Her first name is not given unless she is one of the two daughter Elizabeth and Rose named in the same will, but that is conjecture.
3. An extremely valuable reference book on this family is "Thomas Sanford, the emigrant to New England; ancestry, life, and descendants, 1632-4," by Carlton E. Sanford (Tuttle Company: Rutland, Vermont, 1911). It contains a thorough examination and report of the English church records, lay subsidies, and probate for this family. The book is available online at several websites including the following: https://archive.org/details/thomassanfordemi01sanf/page/28/mode/2up.
4. An excellent resource: Warner, Lucien C., "The descendants of Andrew Warner, (New Haven, Conn.: Tuttle, Morehouse & Taylor, 1919), available online at https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:Thomas_Sanford%2C_the_emigrant_to_New_England%3B_ancestry%2C_life%2Cand_descendants%2C_1632-4. It contains the transcripts of the wills of all the early Warners and Purchases, which name and list children and grandchildren and were instrumental in building this family in this database. See parents' notes for transcripts of each of their two wills. In her mother's will, she is noted as Rose Sanford, which proves she is the daughter who married into the Sanford family. Also the same will in 1627 notes she then has eight children with one being named Mary. Her father's 1614 will notes three children who he names. They are not named in the 1627 will.
