I sort of followed the change from Emerson to Sanford. My real question is, where did the extra “d” in Sandford come from?

It was a misspelling by a clerk at the US Supreme Court.

Oh that. John Sanford spelt his name with one “d”, but when the case went to the U.S. Supreme Court, the Supreme Court reporter mistakenly put the other “d” in the middle. So that is there because of a clerical error.
