1667. July. Troop of Horse for the Island : Capt. Peleg Sanford

from Civil and Military List of Rhode Island, 1647-1800: A List of All Officers ...By Joseph Jencks Smith

from The New England Historical and Genealogical Register, By Henry Fitz-Gilbert Waters:

THE HUTCHINSON AND SANDFOKD FAMILIES. Communicated by ELLIOT SASDFORD, of New-York, N. Y. IN the record of the will of Samuel Hutchinson, as given in the sixteenth volume of the REGISTER, page 331, there are some errors which must have been made by the clerk when he copied the will into the probate records. An examination of the original in the files of the court will disclose the mistakes.

The name of Elifal Hatton, should be Stratton. She was the daughter of Gov. John Sandford, of Newport, R. I., and Mrs. Elizabeth (Webb) his wife, and was baptized in Boston, December 1637. She was not murdered by the Indians with Ann Hutchinson in 1643, at Pelham, N. Y., as Savage relates, but lived to be more than once publicly whipped with her stepmother, Mrs. Bridget Phillips, and other Quakers, for indulging in certain vagaries of opinion and doctrine not agreeable to the magistrates of Boston. (Drake's Hist, of Boston, p. 429.) Mrs. Stratton was the wife of Bartholomew Stratton, mariner, of Boston, and died in Portsmouth, R. I., where her death is recorded January 18, 1724. Mrs. Bridget Phillips was the daughter of William and Ann Hutchinson, "the prophetess of doleful heresies," and married, as his second wife, Governor (or President) John Sandford. As to his parents (see Notes and Queries, 2d series, vol. vii. page 334), they had five sons: Peleg, William, Ezbon, Restcomb and Elisha; all of whom are mentioned in Mr. Hutchiuson's will, and one daughter Ann, who died in Boston, August, 1654.

After the death of Governor Sandford she married circa 1658, Major William Phillips as his third wife; issue, four sons. Mrs. Bridget Phillips is also referred to in the will of Mr. Hutchinson, but her name is incorrectly written, in the probate court record, Willis, and Mr. Whitmore, in his pedigree of the Hutchinsons and Olivers, supposes that she had married a Willis of Bridgewater, not knowing how otherwise to dispose of her. When Mrs. Phillips died, she gave by will, dated Sept. 29,1696, to her oldest son, Governor Peleg Sandford, of Newport, large tracts of land, which her husband, Maj. Phillips, gave her in his will (Suffolk Probate Records, Liber 6, page 526) ; said lands now comprising the towns of Sanford and Fhillipston, Maine. (Williamson's Hist. Maine, voL ii. page 383.)

William Sanford, son of Governor Peleg, resided in Newport, and there married, March 1, 1714, Griselda, daughter of Nathaniel and Margaret (Steers) Sylvester, of the Shelter Island family of that name. Issue, three daughters: Mary, who married Gov. Oliver; Margaret, who married her fourth cousin, Gov. Hutchinson; and Griselda, who died unmarried. Gov. Peleg Sandford married Mary Brenton, daughter of Gov. William Brenton. (See deed of gift of land by Gov. Brenton to his son-in-law, recorded in Taunton, Liber 5, page 536.) Issue, two sons: Peleg, who died 1702, aged 17 (Bridgman's King's Chapel JSpitap/is), and William; and three daughters : Ann, Bridget and Elizabeth.

William Sanford was graduated at Harvard College in the class of 1711, and being the son of a governor, and grandson of two governors, his name was placed, according to the custom of the time, at the head of his class. He died April 24, 1721, in the thirty-first year of his age. ______

!Governor Peleg Sanford was the governor under the Charter of 1663, November 8, 1678-March 12, 1680. He married Mary Brenton. 1667.
