Children with Andrew Sanford (b. 1617, d. 1694)

Biography

  • Mary (née unknown) Sanford was born estimated 1618.1
  • She married Andrew Sanford, son of Ezekiel Sanford and Rose Warner, estimated 1641.1
  • Mary (née unknown) Sanford died in 1662 in Hartford, Connecticut, at age ~44.
  • In 1662 Andrew and wife Mary were indicted for witchcraft, a capital offense. Mary was convicted and hanged in 1662. Andrew was freed when the jury couldn't reach a verdict. They had 4 (or 5) children ranging in age from 16 to 6. The charges against Mary were 'familiarity with Satan' and having 'acted and also come to the knowledge of secrets in a preternatural way beyond the course of nature to the great disturbance of several members of this Commonwealth.' The next year, at the trial of Rebecca Greensmith, she also named Mary as a witch, who met in the woods for bacchanals. (Rebecca was also hanged).2,3
  • In 2008 legislation was introduced into the Connecticut State Legislature to pass a joint resolution and pardon condemning the witch trials and exonerating those convicted, even though the convictions were legal at the time. Unfortunately it never passed (!) (2008 & 2009). Then in 2012 descendants asked for a proclamation that would clear their ancestors' names, but that also was denied.4
