Hello,
Searching for parents of John FORD, born: Abt. 1766 in Virginia, died:
September 11, 1844 in Franklin County, Mississippi, who married Elizabeth CALVIT.
Is he from the FAURE/FORD family of Huguenot immigrants from France to
Manakintown near Jamestown, Virginia as was the family of his wife, Elizabeth
CALVIT, I believe, whom appears to be the daughter of Mrs. Mary DEAN CALVIT and 1st
husband, Antoine/Anthony CALVIT/CALVET/CALVER(T) who immigrated as French
Huguenot to Manakintown. I descend from their son, Henry FORD, and wife, Mary
BUCKLES/BUCKHOLTS, (d/o Abram/Abraham BUCKHOLTS, Jr. and 1st wife, Mahala
MIDDLETON, he later married Mrs. Nancy KILLIAN GATLENY, widow of Abram/Abraham
GALTNEY.)
My John FORD, born: Abt. 1766 in Virginia, died: September 11, 1844 in
Franklin County, Mississippi and is buried there at Sweet Home Church Cemetery,
and married Elizabeth CALVIT in 1784 in Natchez, Adams County, Mississippi, and
they were the parents of:
Elizabeth FORD
James FORD
Thomas C. FORD
George FORD
William FORD
Absalom FORD
Henry FORD married Mary BUCKLES/BUCKHOLTS
John FORD, Jr. married Mahala O'NEAL
Sarah FORD
Anna FORD married William BUCKLES/BUCKHOLTS
Nancey FORD married Jeptha HIGDON, Jr.
Jesse Evans FORD married Mary Ann BUCKLES/BUCKHOLTS
From Henry FORD and Mary BUCKLES/BUCKHOLTS I descend from their daughter,
Elizabeth Ann FORD, who married Jehu/Jahu/John Madison GRISHAM/GRESHAM, (son of
Barnett GRESHAM and Lucy POWELL,) and then through their daughter, Frances Ann
GRISHAM, and 1st husband, Lawrence M. HATTEN, (CSA,) who later married 2nd
husband and stepfather of my great grandfather, Zachariah Taylor FAITH, and
through their son, Cicero Lamkin HATTEN, who married Rodella "Della" JONES and
through their daughter, Ethel Rosalie HATTEN, (md: 1st husband, Joseph Marion
WOMACK, Sr.,) and her 2nd husband, Louis Hector "Heck" SLAUGHTER, (widower from
1st wife, Mrs. Callie Martha MUNN ADAMS, (widow of Sam V.?/A.? ADAMS,) and
widower from 2nd wife, Mary LEE,) who were my maternal grandparents.
Looking forward to hearing from anyone who might have information on the
FORD, (possibly FAURE/FORD) family of John FORD.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Bellinda Myrick-Barnett
