Sanford parachuted into France with the 517th Parachute Infantry Regiment and subsequently fought in the Battle of the Budge. He was awarded the Bronze Star and Purple Heart for his bravery and wounds and attained the rank of 1st Lieutenant in WWII. Le Marquis de Lafayette Chapter was organized by William Lee Ramsey, manufacturer’s agent, in December 1968 and within fifteen months the Chapter hosted the NCSSAR State Convention on April 10, 1970. Ramsey became the 33rd NCSSAR President on the last day of the Convention. He was killed in an auto accident less than three months later in Greenville on 5 July 1970 ((1895‐1970). Prior to the Convention, Theodore Louis Spilman, Jr., master printer at Worth Printing, was installed as the 2nd Chapter President. At the State Convention in April, he was elected the NCSSAR Secretary‐Treasurer. Compatriot Spilman served on the Cumberland County Board of Education from 1974 thru 1986 as member and chairman. Two years prior to the chapter’s chartering in 1968 and two years afterwards three compatriots a year were being recruited as Chapter members. William Ramsey’s SAR ancestor was LT Jonathan Taylor, while his son William Lee Ramsey, Jr. NC SAR#1168 – 12/15/1967) used his mother, Dorothy Miller, to arrive at his Revolutionary War ancestor, COL Owen Kenan.

Allen, Jr. stated on the phone to this writer that his father was a dedicated member of the Lower Cape Fear Chapter in Wilmington and he thought they chose Fayetteville as their convention site because of its central location.
