Thomas Sanford Genealogy
The Emigrant to New England
1610-1910
by Carlton E. Sanford, Potsdam, New York
c., 1911, The Tuttle Company, Rutland, Vermont.
Ezechiell Sanford was born just before February 20, 1586, in Much Hadham, England. His father, Thomas, was 30 and his mother, Mary, was 23. He married Rose Warner in 1607 in Hertfordshire, England. They had 10 children in 18 years. He died in 1683 in Stansted Mountfitchet, England, at the impressive age of 96.
He was baptized at Much Hadham, Herts., 20 Feb. 1585-6 as the eldest son of Thomas and Mary Sanford. He was the father of Thomas, Andrew and Robert Sanford, the three brothers who emigrated to New England. Ezekiel, 22 years of age, appeared in Hatfield. He may have left Much Hadham a few years (at the most) before that. At no time is there a glimpse of what was his trade, or occupation. He married in Hatfield; that is certain. This town, modernly called Hatfield Broad Oak, is about six miles southeast of Much Hadham, over the county-line into the shire of Essex. The records of baptisms, marriages and burials in this parish have been lost, prior to 1662, depriving us of the exact date of his marriage, also of the baptisms of his two eldest sons, Thomas and John, born between 1607 and 1612. Ezekiel Sanford was present in Hatfield Broad Oak on the sixteenth day of July, 1614, when he wrote his name at the end of his father-in-law's will, as a witness. It is judged that he had lived in Hatfield, probably at his wife's home, from the time of their marriage (about 1607) until the births of their eldest son Thomas (the emigrant to America) and their second son John (who did not emigrate). Ezekiel Sanford saw no future for himself here. In fact, the prospect of a brilliant future for any of his family was hardly imaginable, as life went in those days, for men of unpretentious birth. His father had bequeathed to him three plots of land of three acres in Stanstead Mountfitchet, which had been Ezekiel's grandfather's. So he made the most of it by settling upon it. This couple had eight children (in the records): the younger six were baptized at Stanstead Mountfitchet, the home of Ezekiel's grandparents, Richard and Elizabeth Sanford. It was at Stanstead Mountfitchet that Ezekiel finally settled. He did so either shortly before the death of his father-in-law or within four months after that event.
