Notes

RESEARCH_NOTES:
1. An extremely valuable reference book on this family is "Thomas Sanford, the emigrant to New England; ancestry, life, and descendants, 1632-4," by Carlton E. Sanford (Tuttle Company: Rutland, Vermont, 1911). It contains a thorough examination and report of the English church records, lay subsidies, and probate for this family. The book is available online at several websites including the following: https://archive.org/details/thomassanfordemi01sanf/page/28/mode/2up.

2. Son Thomas was named in grandfather John Warner's 1584 will. He was the only child of John Warner (Jr.) to be so noted. This supposes he is the eldest and only child born before 1584. It also helps set a marriage date for John and Mary.

3. An excellent resource: Warner, Lucien C., "The descendants of Andrew Warner, (New Haven, Conn.: Tuttle, Morehouse & Taylor, 1919), available online at https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:Thomas_Sanford%2C_the_emigrant_to_New_England%3B_ancestry%2C_life%2Cand_descendants%2C_1632-4. It contains the transcripts of the wills of all the early Warners and Purchases, which name and list children and grandchildren and were instrumental in building this family in this database. Here is a transcript of his will from this source:
