    Notes 
    • Barney Sanford was raised by four aunts and an uncle, Henry Sanford. For a time, they lived in Tennessee, where Barney and his brother George earned money by picking up spent shells on the Shiloh battlefield. They later moved to Marshall, Arkansas. From Arkansas, Barney moved to Texas to work. He helped build the first brick building in El Paso and the first brick street in Itasca, Texas. He went back to Arkansas to marry, and Barney and his wife went back to Texas the day after the wedding. After farming in Arkansas until 1902, they moved to Oklahoma when it was opened to settlers. They bought a homestead 20 miles south of Hobart, Oklahoma. In 1919, they moved to Mt. View, Oklahoma, where they bough another farm. They lived on that farm until Barney's death in 1933.
