About Sanford Billings Stoddard
THE GROTON AVERY CLAN, Vol. I, by Elroy McKendree Avery and Catherine Hitchcock (Tilden) Avery, Cleveland, 1912. p. 398
Sanford Billings Stoddard, eldest son of' Sanford Stoddard, was born in North Groton (Ledyard), Dec. 4, 1813. His father was a sea captain. Having received a common school education young Stoddard went on the water with his father while yet a boy. At the age of twenty-one he went before the mast. Two years later he became mate; and serving in that capacity for two years he was again promoted to the position of captain.
In 1842 he married Miss Mary, daughter of Hibbard Stoddard, of Ledyard. Their children were Mary Elizabeth, Sanford B. and Jane F. Mr. Stoddard left the sea soon after he was married, and spent the remainder of his life in farming, occupying the place which had been in the possession of the family since 1700. He died in 1892, and Mrs. Stoddard in 1895. Their daughter, Mary E., and their son, Sanford B., died young. Their daughter, Jane F., was married to S. A. Crandall. After becoming the mother of two children, a daughter and a son, she died in 1885, aged 34. The family were members and liberal supporters of the Congregational Church in Ledyard.
