Wilma,
According to "The Sandford/Sanford Families of Long Island" By Grover Merle
Sanford (Gateway Press, 1975) Hannah (Mitchell) Sanford, wife of Ezekial 2
Sanford, was a daughter of John and Jane (prob. Mills) Mitchell. "The Early
History of Southampton, L.I., New York, with Genealogies" by George Rogers
Howell (!887), says the Mitchell family lived in Bridgehampton from 1686
when John Mitchell of East Hampton bought 20 acres from Mary, widow of
Samuel Mills. Howell does not have any info on Jane, the wife of John
Mitchell. I doubt she really was a Mills. The recent article "Richard Mills,
Seventeenth-Century Schoolmaster in Connecticut and New York" by Helen
Schatvet Ullmann, CG (New England Historical and Genealogical Register, Vol.
154, April 2000, pp. 189-210) covers the Mills family of Southampton, and
Jane does not appear.
