Dear Morgan,
My 4th great grandfather was Henry FORD, born: abt. 1790 in Natchez, MS, and
his mother, my 5th great grandmother, was Elizabeth CALVIT, born: abt./aft.
1766, married: in 1784 in Natchez District, MS, to John D. FORD, born: 1766
in VA, and Elizabeth CALVIT is thought by Benny and some of the others most
likely to have been the daughter of Mary DEAN (CALVIT) (HIGDON,) and her 1st
husband: Antoine/Anthony CALVIT.
The above mentioned Henry FORD married Mary BUCKLES, born: abt. 1797 in
Natchez, MS, and she was the daughter of Mahala/Mahalia MIDDLETON and Abram
BUCKLES, aka Abraham BUCKHOLTS, Jr., son of Abraham BUCKHOLTS(Z,)
born/immigrated abt. 1729 from East Prussia. Abraham BUCKHOLTS, Jr./aka
Abram BUCKLES married his 2nd wife, Nancy KILLIAN (GALTNEY,) widow of the
BUCKLES neighbor, Abram GALTNEY, whom I believe was either the mother of or
related in some way to the Nancy Ann GALTNEY who married John CALVIT, Jr.,
son of John CALVIT, Sr., son of William CALVIT.
From the above Henry FORD and wife, Mary BUCKLES, I descend through their
daughter, Elizabeth Ann FORD and husband, Jehu Madison GRISHAM, and through
their daughter, Frances Elizabeth GRISHAM, whose 2nd husband was Zachary
Taylor FAITH, and her 1st husband, my 2nd great grandfather, was Lawrence M.

and taken to P.O.W. Camp Chase in Ohio where he died. Their son, Cicero

Thomas JEFFERSON, and through the BRANCH lineage descends from 10 Magna
Charta Surety Barons including Robert De ROOS/ROS, (also a Knights Templar,)
and they were the parents of my grandmother, Ethel Rosalea HATTEN, (1st
