John W. A. Sanford

John W. A. Sanford (August 28, 1798 - September 12, 1870) was a United States Representative and farmer from Georgia.

Sanford was born near Milledgeville, Georgia, in 1798. He attended Yale University and was a farmer. In 1834, Sanford was elected as a Jacksonian Representative from Georgia to the 24th United States Congress, but he resigned before the end of his term to participate in the removal of the Cherokee from the state. His congressional service spanned from March 4, 1835, to July 25, 1835.

After serving in the Cherokee War in 1836 as a major general, Sanford was elected to the Georgia Senate in 1837; however, he resigned before that session of the state Senate began. From 1841 to 1843, Sanford was the Secretary of State of Georgia. He also was a member of the state convention of 1850. Sanford died in Milledgeville on September 12, 1870, and was buried in Memory Hill Cemetery in Milledgeville.
