• Notes

  Zachariah appears in the 1820 census living in Charlotte, Caledonia Co., Vermont. - Mr. Sanford was a tanner and currier and shoemaker, a devoted Christian man. In 1821 the family removed from Vermont to Canton, N. Y., where they remained until 1843. In that year they removed, being past eighty years of age, to Seneca, McHenry Co., Illinois. They made the entire journey overland, in an open buggy and were accompanied by their three sons and their families in covered wagons. Upon arrival in Illinois Mr. Sanford planted a peach orchard. They were earnest and devout members of the Methodist Episcopal Church and lived to see twelve of their children enter the same Communion. From "The Thomas Sanford Family" (pp. 194-195).
