Belinda,
I was looking in the Natchez Court Records, 1767 - 1805, Abstracts of Early
Records, Vol. 2, (McBee) today and ran up on the will of Joseph Ford, Adams
Co., dated 6 Nov. 1804. I knew you were looking for any info on the Fords.
Wife: Rebecca
Sons: John, Thomas, Joseph, Robert, and George (listed in that order, I
don't know if that's the order of age or what)
Daughters: Esther Strawder and Elizabeth Ford
Grandchildren: George Holliway, Elizabeth Ford
Executor of Will: John Ford
Witnessed by : Robert Ford, John Spires, Jacob Gaice?
These should be all of his children that were living in 1804.
Let me know if I can be of any more help.

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.
Bellinda
