In 1855 Sanford and his family started west. They wintered inIA. In the spring of 1856 this family and seven other familiesstarted overland with ox teams for KS. They traveled downthrough IA and MO, crossing the MO River at Atchison, then asmall village of some five or six hundred inhabitants. Thislittle band of pilgrims camped over night just at the edge of Atchison, which was at that time headquarters for a band ofruffians. After weary travelers had made camp for the night, agang of some 25 "cut-throats" surrounded their camp, callingthem "Abolitionists" and threatening to hang every las one ofthe party. Members of the peaceable little caravan were badlyfrightened and made no reply to the ruffians' insulting remarkswho, on finding they could not provoke a quarrell, finallywithdrew.

Bright and early the next morning the homesteaders broke campand pulled away from that vicinity with all possible alacrity.They proceeded westward as long as they could find a road in theright direction, and the last 30 miles they had to make theirown road and did not see a single house or place of habitation.They camped on the Red Vermillon in the evening of May 25, 1856 and proceeded to make the first white settlement in that part of the state. The entire party of of eight families took claims inthe northern part of Pott Co and southern part of Nemaha Co.They erected houses out of the forests without using a singlenail.

Sanford H. Eddy homesteaded west of Havensville on theVermillion River. He was the first post master of Savannah,which office he held until the building of the narrow-guagerailroad in 1877.

Sanford married Chamberlain, Caroline L.. Caroline was born in 1826; died on 22 Nov 1879 in Kansas; was buried in REGAR CEMETERY, Kansas. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
