James M. Sanford served in the War of 1812. As a 19
year old boy he joined Captain Isaiah T. Irvin’s
Company in Colonel Booth’s Regiment of Georgia
Infantry. Captain Irvin was retired and then Captain
Herman Mercer was in charge of the Company, still under
Colonel Booth, and he was promoted to Corporal. The war
ended and on April 28, 1815 discharge papers were
signed and on May 1, 1815. 

Next he served in the Company of Captain Reynolds in
the Seminole Indian War of 1817-1818.  He is last
enumerated in the 1870 census in south Alabama. Burial
is unknown.

=============
Marriages and Obituaries From Early Georgia Newspapers,
abstracted by the late Judge Folks Huxford, F.A.S.G.


"On the 12th inst. at JAMES  VEAZEY'S residence in Talbot
County, MR. NEWTON CHAPMAN, a private in the  Volunteer
Infantry from Taliaferro County. He died among strangers but
was  rendered every attention. Was buried on the 13th with
full military honors  by the Talbot Guards. July 26, 1836."

Although the roster lists "Nathan", we  have suspected that
it should be Newton and that he was son of Thomas and Sarah
(Hart) Chapman of Taliaferro but have no proof.  It is
interesting that he died at James  Veazey's residence as
James Veazey married Susannah/Susan Hart, sister of  Sarah
(Hart) Chapman.  

There was a Nathan Chapman who could be of an age to be in
service then.  That would be Nathan,  a proven son of Thomas
& Sarah (Hart) Chapman who was born ca. 1818-1819 and would
be about 17 or 18 in 1836.  However, he did not die but
lived on for a long long time
