Anyone who is descended from James Sands, b. @ 1622, who m. Sarah Walker, a niece of Anne Hutchinson, and moved to Block Island, RI, should visit the island. James' huge redstone monument is in the cemetery (still clear since 1695), and his name is on the founders' rock at the north end of the island. There are also various markers around the island with Sands information. The Historical Society is very helpful also, with several lines of James' ancestors available. Sarah Sands Swisher

My grandfather was Grover Sands. He was married to Bessie at the time of his death in approximately 1956. He died in the Quindaro area of Kansas City, KS. His sisters, Florence and Virginia were known as Honey and Ginny respectively. Honey (Florence) and her husband Claude raised Grover's sons, Charles and Richard, because Grover was seriously ill and their mother, Mary, had abandoned them, having married Grover at 15.

I hope that you get this message and that it helps.

Re: To any Sands out there!

tootie89bowles — 2011-07-07 02:59:17Z

Hi, Peggy:

We are related for sure. I, too, am a direct descendant of Robert Sandys (sometimes seen as Sands, but originally was Sandys). He was born about 1796 in Ireland (not sure where) and married Anne Jane Weeks who was also born in Ireland about 1816 (not sure where). They had two children for sure, and possibly more. I know they had Jane Sandys, for she was married Daniel Philip Quantz. They had 5 children, including Mary Ann Quantz who married Andrew Bolland in 1881 in Lapeer, Michigan (I have a copy of that page from their family Bible, which I found online. They had 6 children, but only three lived: 3 girls, 2 of whom had no children and the third was my grandmother Eva Mary Bolland who married my grandfather Andrew Olsen. They had two children: Alice who never married and my father Carl W. Olsen who married my mother Jeanne E. Olsen (yes, that was her maiden name, too) and had two children: my older sister Carole J. Olsen (now Wooten) and me, Lorene A. Olsen (now Lorene Olsen Bowles). I have 1 child and 4 grandchildren. My sister has two children but no grandchildren. I can also tell you I have a copy of Robert Sandys' death record. He died on April 21, 1878 in Lambton County, Ontario, Canada, of a paralytic stroke, which was reported to the officials by his son James Sandys (which is how I know about James). Also, Robert was Presbyterian. The death record says Sands, but so many poeple had name changes that occurred on the way here from their homelands. Their daughter went by the correct spelling, Jane Sandys. She was visiting a daughter of theirs in Cleveland, Ohio (where I live) after her husband Daniel's death, and she died and is buried here in the same cemetery where my parents are buried and where I shall be buried someday. It is called Riverside Cemetery. Maybe you know some information you can tell me, like how you are descended from Robert so that we can see how we are related. Sincerely, Lorene Olsen Bowles (age 69)

Re: The Pedigree of Capt. James Sands of Block Island

kylem86_1 — 2011-06-29 03:33:45Z

Great research. Having just discovered your post, I am inclined to believe that James was not the son of Henry. However, every source I have found indicates that both the first wife of the Archbishop, Mary, and son (James) died while he was in exile. Is there an available source you could point me to (online or by e-mail) that claims James did not die as is widely published online?
Thanks,
Kyle

This is a long shot as a William Sands was my ggrandfather who disappeared off the English Census records after 1901 when he was a widower and the children were put in to homes. I have never found a britsh Death record for him.

I'm going attach two photos of Dorsey Sands' grave. One of the photos was taken many years ago (by my father) and, as you can see, the stone is in very good shape. The other photo was taken about 10 years ago when we took a trip back to Indiana. I can't believe how the stone has deteriorated. I also have photos of the grove of trees where the grave is, as well as the house (empty) on the land. The land is being farmed, but the grove of trees with the grave is untouched.
If you wish to correspond further, I would be happy to hear from you. My e-mail address is kallemeyn@aol.com, and my name is Carolyn.
