Samuel Alexander Danford
Samuel Alexander Danford (January 22, 1850–N/A) was an American religious figure and author from Brunswick County, North Carolina, likely involved in preaching or teaching within a holiness or evangelical Christian context. Born to Abraham Danford and Mary Jane Cliff Danford, he lived in a region with strong Baptist and Methodist influences, though his specific denominational affiliation isn’t documented. His most notable contribution is Holiness Bible Readings, a concise book published posthumously in 1912 (available as a Kindle edition), which compiles scripture quotations on sanctification with minimal commentary, serving as a resource for Bible study on holiness. This work implies a deep engagement with Christian doctrine, suggesting he may have preached or taught these principles, possibly as a lay preacher or minister. Little is known about Danford’s personal life, education, or ministry career beyond his authorship. He died on October 15, 1911, in Brunswick County, and is buried there, with his legacy tied to his book rather than a documented preaching record. His work’s focus on sanctification aligns with the Holiness Movement, active in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, hinting at a possible role in that tradition. Without further evidence, his status as a preacher remains inferred from his religious writing, marking him as a minor but earnest voice in American evangelicalism.
