Joseph Ford. Joseph Ford migrated from N.C. was in Miss Terr by 1780 or
so. I am working the Ford's of Southeast Ms. kate

Hi, Kay:
Thanks to you and Liz for the information about the TWO Charles Brantley
Calvits! (The younger one was my great-grandfather.) I had never known
that there were two!
I've been trying to find out for a long time who Hester Ford's father was;
was it possibly Joseph Ford? I'll check Fords, too.

Spires/Spiers, and Charles Brantley's son Thomas Leonard Calvit & his wife
Norma Lanius--my grandparents.)
