The Saunders and Sanders, early Quakers
who traveled from Virginia to Indiana

These Lyford Family pages are courtesy of Lyford Hale. If you copy this material word for word, please cite
Lyford Hale as your source. 

Lyford spent years tracking down as many original source documents as possible.  He visited where the ancestors lived, where they went to church, local hysterical societies, libraries, court houses, and and every other repository of state and local records he could find.  He notes that spurious information plagues the internet these days, propagated by people who seem more interested in name collecting than accuracy.  This is no Bah Hum Bug, merely a warning to take what you find on the web with
a grain of salt unless original source documents are cited (Court or church records, wills, etc.)  That goes for what is posted here, too.

Wishing to present records that are as accurate as possible,  Lyford has made every effort to present facts, not guesses. He warns, however, that the earliest Saunders/Sanders information needs a great deal more research before its conclusions can be considered trustworthy. Later data, from Jesse Sanders to the most current, is well documented and highly reliable. Please contact him at  lyfordhale at gwandrw dot com should you take exception to something you find here, or if you have verification for any part of the earlier material.

While you are invited ... encouraged even ... to submit material and comments, such remarks as "You're crazy" or "You are an idiot" probably won't be received in the constructive manner you obviously intended.

One final note: These are Lyford's working pages and thus include many notes originally intended only for himself. You may, from time to time, find the exact same words on websites posted by other researchers. Rest assured they originated with Lyford.
