• Notes

  David Sanford (4-141) is referred to as David Sanford (#141) on page 110 in the Thomas Sanford Genealogy book, 1911; and referred to as Cornet David Sanford on page 136 of that same book. It is explained in the book that in May, 1749 he was Quartermaster of the Troop of Horse in the 2nd Regiment, Connecticut Volunteers, and in May 1750 he was commissioned "Cornet" in that regiment. (Note: Cornet was the lowest of commissioned officers in the cavalry who carried the colors or guidon of a troop of cavalry, an honored position no longer in existence). The name on his tombstone, which was still standing in 1911, was Cornet David Sanford. (New Haven Colony Historical Society, Vol. 5, p. 54 and Connecticut Colony Records, p. 426, 517, 518). He must have been a man of great business capacity having accumulated an estate of $26,660 by the age of 41 at the time of his death in 1751. On 8 Feb 1751, administration of his estate was granted his widow, Rachael, and she was appointed guardian of their minor children. (Probate Book 7, p. 131). Thomas Sanford Genealogy c., 1911, pp. 136-137 David & Rachel had nine children
