Ezra is the son of Ezra Sanford, Sr. and Martha Barker. He is found in Shaker records from the Winterthur Library:

SA 870.1 endorsed: Ezra Sanford & Malica Sanford, discharge;
Ezra Sanford and Malachi Sanford settled with elder David Meacham when they left Hancock, witnessed by Joseph Bennett, November 8, 1788

Malachi and Ezra were brothers and left the Shaker community in 1788 when they were young adults.

From: History of the pioneer settlement of Phelps and Gorham's purchase, and ...
By Orsamus Turner, page 568: Ezra Sanford, 1812, 1815

He was married to Mary A. Rathbun in 1790 in Richmond, MA. This tombstone with the initials E.S. is near Ezekiel Sanford, his brother. (Or as another contributor pointed out, this could be the footstone of Ezekiel.) His widow was found in Wales in 1820 so it is assumed he died between 1810-1820 and is buried here. Ezra and Mary were the parents of 5 children, Martha, Mary Ann, James, Malachi and Eliza.
