Born about 1608, son of Ezekiel (bapt. at Much Hadham, co. Herts, 20 Feb. 1585/6) and ------ (Warner) Sanford, ... The family lived in Hatfield Broad Oak and Stanstead Mountifitchet, co. Essex. Eng.'
'The records of four of the five children of Thomas and Mary Sanford were entered [in the parish register of Much Hadham] as follows: Baptisms-- "1586 ffebruary 20, Ezechiell sonn of Thomas Sandford." ...'
'[Ezekiel's] 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.'
'That Ezekiel was living in England on the 27th of February, 1632, can be proven. Doubtless he remained in Stanstead, but there is no record of his burial there, nor that of his wife.' The author goes on to speculate that he might have emigrated with his sons and brother-in-law Andrew Warner, and died on the journey or soon after.
