Description:
Samuel Clark "Sammy" Sanford (1852-1933) was the son of Jane Matilda Hadlock Sanford and George E. Sanford. As an adult, after his widowed mother married William Pitt Preble, Sammy lived in a tiny cabin near his step-father's house on Preble Cove. He met the author Rachel Field there and told her the story of his grandfather, Captain Samuel Hadlock, Jr., upon whom Field based her novel, "God's Pocket". In later life Sammy sued his step-father Preble for payment for services due. When the Shaw's purchased Sanford's cabin they gave him life tenancy.
