Surnames: ROGERS, SANFORD
Researcher: Lola Thorogood Mann
Email: [email protected]
Date posted: Thursday, July 2, 1998

Are there any SANFORD folks from Medina County Sanfords on this list?? Or does anyone know any of them? I really need to 'talk' to some SANFORDS to try to get my Sanford ancestors straightened out.

Some of my records (supposedly from "a Sanford Bible") show the father of BEERS SANFORD as son of SAMUEL S. SANFORD (brother of Stephen?))--Some of the Biographical sketches I got while at WRHL show his father as Lemuel. I have Lemuel as the father of SARAH LOUISE SANFORD, and Lemuel's father as L. J. SANFORD (no other info on either). Can anyone help?? (Also need some confirmations of the connections with ROGERS)

My name is Mark Wells. I am looking for information as to the where abouts of Lillian LAWSON or her eldest daughter Gail Ann COLE. The last that I knew of them, they lived on Poe Road between Rt. 57 and Rt. 3. This was about 25 years ago. Lillian's mother was a resident of Brunswick, her name was Anna Prescott. I was born and raised in Medina County and lost contact with Lillian and her daughter when my family moved to California. Lillian was married to a man by the name of Hilbert (Bud) Lawson. I believe she may have divorced him in 1968-69.

Any information that can be supplied would be of great help, they were very dear to me.
