The earliest known ancestor of this family, Richard Corley, was possibly born around 1650/1655, and was living in Blisland Parish, New Kent County, Virginia by 1671. In 1704 at the formation of Hanover County and St. Paul's Parish, Richard Corley's farm fell into that new jurisdiction. He died ca. 1708 in Hanover County, and was the father of at least two identifiable sons: Richard (b. ca. 1670), and John (b. ca. 1675). Christopher C. Corley (1890-1983), son of Christopher C. and Della Evans Corley, was born in Woodruff Co., Arkansas. He married Lois Blanche Scurlock in Bowie Co., Texas in 1921 and they moved to McGehee, Desha Co., Ark. In 1924 they moved to Clarksdale, Coahoma Co., Mississippi, where they stayed permanently. The earliest known Sanford ancestor, Robert Sanford (b. ca. 1635), was living in Westmoreland Co., Va. by 1670. This study deals primarily with Robert Sanford's descendants, who lived in Westmore-and and Fairfax counties until around the turn of the 19th century and includes some data from other areas.
