Sanford Plummer (Ga-yo-gwa-doke; 1905–1974) was a Seneca (Native American) narrative watercolor painter from New York state. He painted works portraying traditional life and culture of the Seneca and people of other Iroquois nations. His works are held by the Iroquois Indian Museum, as well as Buffalo Museum of Science, Rochester Museum and Science Center, and the Newark Museum.
Sanford Wheeler (previously known as Matthew Wheeler; 1970 – 2020) was an Australian rules football player for the Sydney Swans. He is notable as being the first African-American born player in the history of the AFL and one of few players from the United States to play in the Australian Football League. A highlight was being selected in the New South Wales state team for the 1993 State of Origin Championships.
Sanford was originally Old English for "Sandy Fjord" and is seen in movies like "Hot Fuzz" in the standard Sandford style.And Sanford and Son, the 70's comedy classic, was about a father and son who owned a junkyard and the mischief the lead character (Fred Sanford) would get into and how his son would get him out of it.
Sanford and son is a program about two black guys, who are father and son and they are truckers I think with their own company. I think, however, it is their surname.
