Dear Alan
Read some of my other letters. It explains my reasons for stating that there are two Safford lines. They were probably related. There were TWO John Saffords, one born in Mass, the other probably in England.
Briefly, the John from England had a father named Josiah. The other John was born in Ipswich.
Both Johns lived in Ipswich and both Johns had sons named Joseph. The Johns were born in different years, 10 years apart.
John married Hannah Newman. In time they moved to Preston, Ct. He died in March of 1736 and is buried in the Safford cemetery His age at death was 73, thus he was born in 1663. I also have part of the copy of a will that mentions his wife Deborah Apparently he married her AFTER Hannah.
The other John married Abigail Martin, also in Ipswich, Mass. They moved to Norwich, Ct. He died in Aug of 1739. His wife, Abigail is buried in the same cemetery (Ames Cemetery) in March of 1768 at the age of 92.
This son of John, John, married Lydia Hebard. Among their children was a Josiah.
This son of John, Joseph, married Anne Longbottom and they evidentully moved to Bennington, Vermont.
If you are descended through the Vermont line I believe you have the incorrect ancestor (Hannah), and also Thomas.
p.s. John and Hannah's children were: John, b Feb 28, 1687-8, Hannah, b 9-24-1691, Sarah, b 12-25-1694, Mary, 3-5-1697, Elizabeth, 1-24-1700, Margaret, b 4-24-1703, Joseph, b 1-18-1705, Gideon, b 3-24-1709. From Wallbridge Genealogy.
