Here is a rare window into the lives of the earliest Puritan settlers, their struggles, their kin, and the legacy they forged. This is not just a family history reference; it is a living tapestry of the Great Migration, offering vivid immigrant ancestor biographies and meticulously traced descendants' family trees.

This colonial ancestry volume stands as a cornerstone for genealogy researchers and anyone drawn to ancestry and lineage research. Carlton Elisha Sanford's careful chronicling brings to life both the everyday and the extraordinary, illuminating the roots of the Sanford family genealogy with clarity and reverence. Sketches of four additional pioneer Sanfords and their descendants enrich the narrative, making this work indispensable for those seeking to understand not just a single lineage, but the broader tapestry of New England genealogy books and Puritan settler family histories. Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today - a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike. For casual readers, it offers a compelling glimpse into the courage and endurance of early America; for classic-literature collectors, it is a cultural artefact, restored with respect for its historical significance.
