I saw the "Family tree" listing for son Fred on ancestry.com, but all it had was "Hardy Sanford, and Hannah" as parents. Are you the gsanford4 who put this listing on the website??

go there then click geaneology

Did you send for their social security information? You may also check the county of their births.

I found some possibilities at the following link, but without anymore information in your question, I cannot narrow down if any of these are him or not. In some of these, there is a Hardy with a mother, not spouse, named Hannah.

Once you click on this link, in the box for surname, type in Sanford, and in the box for Given name, type Hardy.
