Notes:

"History and Genealogy of the Families of Old Fairfield":
Sanford, Andrew - Brother of Thomas, he was bapt. at Stanstead mountfitchet, co. Essex, 1 Nov. 1617, and d. at Milford in 1684. He settled in Hartford, where his uncle Andrew Warner lived; freeman, May 1657. His first wife, mary, was indicted with him for witchcraft; she was convicted, 13 June 1662, and presumably executed.
He rem. to Milford 1667, and had a second wife of whom not even her given name has been learned, with whom he joined the church in 1671. The younger children belonged to the second wife, and five were bapt. together at Milford in 1671.
Much light on this family is shed by the (as yet) unpublished Wingthrop documents. As a physician, in 1661, he treated the Sanford children and specified thei ages as follows: Andrew, above 16 years., Mary 14 1/2, Elizabeth 13, and Ezekiel 6. Later in same year he noted the youngest dau. (ae) 14 of Andrew Sanford, pumpmaker, which is important in indicating that Andrew's daus. hannah, martha, etc., were born after 1661, and hence were by the second wife. Again in 1663, Winthrop noted Andrew (ae. 20) son of Andrew of Hartford.

Andrew married ? UNKNOWN after 13 Jun 1662. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
