Sanford was married to Susan about 1850. They had 4 children - William Rufus, Lewis Dillard (my 1st great), Sarah Elvira and Eliza.
After being in the civil war, he didn't go home to his wife and children - but went to Texas and was going to mary someone else until her father found out he was alrady married. He found and married Martha Catherine "Mattie" Bond in 1870 in Gonzales County, Texas. I found a lot of this on the census. They had 6 children - James Wesley, William Thomas, L E (Louie), Frances Cornelia, E K, Dora Adell. He died in 1892.

According to Chamblee researcher D'Ann Stoddard, Amanda Matilda Doolittle is listed in the 1860 census of GonzalesCo, TX with Sanford H. Chamblee whom she married in Gonzales, 2 May 1860. Sanford H. Chamblee had children with Susan Masters of DeKalbCo, AL and after the marriage with Amanda, Sanford went on to marry Martha C. Bond and live in San AugustineCo, TX where he appears in regional records. The reason for Amanda's split with Sanford Chamblee and union with Samuel Stevens is unclear.
