Sanford, Nathan 1777-1838
Jurist; born in Bridgehampton, N. Y., Nov. 5, 1777; educated at Yale College: admitted to the bar in 1799; was United States district attorney in 1803-16, and during this period also served in both branches of the State legislature; and was elected United States Senator as a Democrat, serving in 1815-21.
On the adoption of the new constitution of New York, he succeeded James Kent as chancellor; was again in the United States Senate in 1826-31, and during this service he was chiefly noted for his efforts in behalf of currency reform, and for urging the retaliatory policy towards France which was subsequently adopted by Congress.
