John S. Sandeford, farmer, Roberta, Crawford Co., Ga., son of William R. and 
Sarah J. (Rowe) Sandeford, was born in Crawford county in 1851.  His paternal 
grandparents were John S. and Silvia (Spivey) Sandeford.  He was a native of 
South Carolina, came to Georgia when a young man and settled in Jefferson 
county, where he married.  In 1819 he removed to Crawford county, where he 
raised his family.  He was a farmer and a soldier in the Indian war of 1836.  
Mr. Sandeford’s father was born in Jefferson county in 1813.  He followed 
farming all his life and did some service in the late war.  Mr. Sandeford’s 
mother was a daughter of William and Polly Rowe.  He was born in South 
Carolina, migrated to Georgia, and going to Crawford, was one of the first 
settlers in the county.  He was a Missionary Baptist preacher and was a soldier 
in the Indian war of 1836.  Mr. Sandeford was reared on the farm, and as his 
school and boyhood days were passed during the war period, he received but a 
limited education.  He began life with nothing, and besides being the eldest 
child, had to work hard and oversee the farm.  But he has prospered and he now 
owns a good 750-acre farm, which he has under improved and productive 
cultivation.  Mr. Sandeford was married in 1876 to Miss Willie R. and Amanda 
(Sandeford) Stripland.  Mr. Stripland was born in Crawford county and was a 
prosperous farm.  Mr. Sandeford ranks with the richest and most substantial of 
the citizens of the county and commands universal respect.
