Col. Sanford James Stoughton, was born 21 July 1828, in Brasher, N.Y. and he was the son of James Carter and Sarah (Burzee) Stoughton; James Carter Stoughton was born 26 Mar. 1803, in Middlesex, Vermont and died in Sept. 1873, in Wapello, Iowa; Sarah (Burzee) Stoughton was born circa 1801 in New York and died in Sturgis, Michigan in Jan. 1886.
Sanford died 29 Nov. 1881 in Louisburg, Kan. He was reportedly married to Issie D.(Unknown). He was a Lawyer, in Kansas. We are unsure of where he matriculated for his legal degree, but it must have been extensive...In 1859-1860 he was appointed as a Common Pleas Judge, for the State of Indiana. He was the Chief Prosecutor, in the murder trial of Dr. William Freeman, one of the most sensational cases to be tried in Indiana Court History.
There is much confusion as to who he married and also, when he married, as several sources disagree…the earliest source in the Lake County, Ohio Marriage Index, 1840-1915, which lists him being married, to Juliette L. Squire, sometime between 30 Dec. 1851 and 1 Jan. 1852. If this is the same gentleman, and we have no reason to doubt that, then he resided in Ohio, before he went to Indiana and this is possibly the first of up to three marriages, for him. We have no idea of the happenings or whereabouts of Ms. Squire/Stoughton, after their marriage.
The 1870 U.S. Census, for Ottawa, Franklin County, Kansas, lists Sanford as a Lawyer, age 40, born in New York and living with his wife, SARAH, age 33 and born Ohio and they were married in the month of March, in that year... They have no child listed with this census. The Kansas State Census Collection, 1815-1915, taken on 1 March 1875, in Ottawa, Kansas, lists one S.J. Stoughton, age, 45, born in New York, employed as a Lawyer and married to SADA A., age 37, born in Indiana and they have one child, named Sanford, age 4 and born in Kansas and he is age 4, in that year, indicating a birth year of abt. 1871. This child appears, in the 1880 census as "S. Stoughton" and he is 9 years old and is a boarder in the home of Frank Walsh, in Ottawa, Kansas and attending school. We have found no other documentation for Sanford that shows a wife or additional children. We do not know if his wife's name is Sarah or Sada or what became of the wife named Issie and we do not know, for sure if Sanford is his child… We will let the Reader make the choice.
Sanford is mentioned several times in The Making of America Journals entitled, The War of the Rebellion Journals and these were found on the internet and supplied by Cornell University. Series 1, Vol. 7, pp. 248-249, mentions Major Sanford J. Stoughton in the 44th Indiana Infantry. This was a report, written by Col. Hugh B. Reed, Commanding Officer. He cites Major Stoughton for Gallantry in the attack on Ft. Donelson and Ft. Henry in the Kentucky, Tennessee and S.W. Virginia campaign, in action on 18 Feb. 1862. The same Commanding Officer, (Series 1, Vol. 10, pp. 238-240.) again cites Lt. Col. Sanford Stoughton for gallantry in action on 9 April 1862, at the battle of Shiloh, where he stood his ground in spite of getting his horse shot out from under him and exposing himself to intense enemy fire in order to rally his troops. He must have been promoted between the 18th and the 9th. Also, this manuscript, in Series 1, Vol., 24, part 3, p.24, lists Colonel Sanford J. Stoughton as the Commanding Officer of the 100th Indiana Infantry as part of the newly formed 16th Army Corps under Major-General Charles S. Hamilton. This Corps was formed on 22 December 1862 and the 100th was part of the 1st Division, 1st Brigade of this Corps and was headquartered in La Grange in Western Tennessee. He is also mentioned as Col. Sanford J. Stoughton in Series 1, Vol. 24, part 3, p 253. His widow filed for a pension, on 2 Apr. 1887 and it cites his service in the 100th Indiana Infantry and his pension application cites his wife as Issie D. Stoughton, living in Kansas and also one Helen D. Prindle, living in Michigan and of unknown relationship. (Probably a daughter.)
