I think I have just written this to you on another e-mail- but just to make
sure--John Ford who married Cavitt and the Buckels family is not the son of
Joseph Ford. I spent several years sorting out the Ford families and there
are basically three different non-related families in SouthWest MS from
1750 to 1850---It would be very easy for everyone to claim Joseph--and most
people have in earlier works but John Ford b in 1766 is NOT his son. (I
don't own Joseph Ford--so if you want to continue to claim him it is of no
consequence to me--but if you really want to be accurate in your family
research--I suggest you listen to what I tell you about this situation.
Leroy, Hadsky, and several other old timers and experts in the Franklin
County area all agreed that the two families don't match) There is a
working paper of some 30 pages or so on file at the Franklin County Library
giving the full review of all the Ford data which covers all of the
documentation I could find on these people. Kate

Subject: Re: [CALVIT-L] HESTER FORD'S family
Hi, Norma,
Gosh....I wish I had some kind of answers for you about your Hester FORD
and
other info. I have only recently been putting my FORD pieces
together and
with that my CALVIT.....so I am still floating around out here trying to
make
sense of it all. I have a list of children for Joseph FORD but I
have no
way
of knowing yet as to whether it is complete or correct. For the
children
of
Rebecca ? and Joseph FORD, born: 1726, died: November 06, 1804 in
Natchez
Dist., MS, I show:
1. Joseph FORD, Jr., md. Cynthia EDWARDS
2. Robert FORD
3. George FORD
4. Margaret FORD, md. ? HOLLOWAY
5. Thomas FORD
6. John D. FORD, born: 1766 in VA, died: September 11, 1844 in Franklin
Co., MS, md: Elizabeth CALVIT IN 1784 in Natchez Dist., MS. (I'm still
looking to find who Elizabeth CALVIT's father is and, also, to confirm
that
John D. FORD is the son of Rebecca ? and Joseph FORD born in 1726.)
I am forwarding my response to the FORD list as well. Maybe someone can
help.
Good luck. Let me know if you find any connections to any of them.
Thanks.
