'Sanford, Ezekiel, s. of Ezekiel. Sergt., Fairfield Trainband. Born at Fairfield, 6 Mar. 1668, d. at Fairfield, 2 Mar. 1728/9 ae. 62 (g. s.); m. by 1697, Rebecca Gregory, dau. of Samuel, b. abt. 1673, d. at Redding, Nov. 1765 ae. 92 (g. s.).'
'EZEKIEL SANFORD, Jr. [son of Ezekiel, son of Thomas] ... m. Mar. 1696, Rebeckah, dau. of Samuel Gregory of Chestnut Hill, Ct.'
The March 1696 date for this marriage is questionable. No evidence is cited, and Jacobus apparently found no record evidence as late as 1960 (Ackley-Bosworth) for the date.
