    Ezekiel and Rebecca were married 25 Apr 1665. Richard PLATT's SANFORD GEDCOM shows as sources CES pp 90, 91-2 and SWA p. 639. CES says "Mr. Sanford settled in Fairfield, CT before 1660 where he died only two years later than his father. Was a Freeman there in 1669. His grave is not known. The inventory of this estate shows that he was a tanner and a large land owner for his time. He divided the greater part of this land among his children during his life time. At his death his estate amounted to 356 pounds, which in dollars is about $1200, the pound of those days being $3.33 1/3."
