SANFORD
Seeking the buriel site of Thomas B. MARTIN, born 1833 in Mo, died
sometime between 1875 and 1880. Last record we have of him is that of a land
deal in Leon County in 1875. His widow, Sarah M. SANFORD Martin is listed in the
1880 census of Wise County with her four children-- thought she might have moved
there to be near her family. She was the daughter of Henry and Sara Sanford.
Family story says that Henry Sanford was a 'traveling preacher'.
Any
information about this family would be appreciated.
