They had one child:
968. Willie Sanborn BASFORD (Samuel Jonathan7, Jonathon Sanborn6, Jonathan5, Benjamin4, Joseph3, James2, Jacob1). Born on 27 Nov 1880 in Maryville, MO. [23] Willie Sanborn died in Nodaway Co., MO, on 20 May 1881. [690, pp. 112-113] age 4 months 23 days. Buried in Sweet Home Cemetery, Jackson Twp., Nodaway Co., MO. [690, pp. 112-113]
[711, p. 23] indicates that Samuel had a son born 15 Mar 1880. This would be inconsistent with the birthdate given for Willie of 27 Nov 1880. [23] Since the dates are less than 9 months apart, they could not correspond to two different children. The 27 Nov birthdate make more sense relative to the age at death of age 4 months 23 days given on Willie's gravestone. [690, pp. 112-113] Perhaps the year was transcribed incorrectly for the 15 Mar date, and that birthdate actually corresponds to one of Samuel's other children?
