Sorrfy--didn't mean to sound like a grouch---I think I got three or four
e-mails at once (duplicates I suppose) and I thought I must not be getting
through to this person. Being on the net is for discussions--But to undo
the Ford families takes hours of documentation in the courthouse---
Leroy and I had rounds about this man--but even he --who sent me hundreds
and hundreds of pages of xeroxed materials--he is not on the net--finally
agreed the two just did not fit. I wish Leroy would publish his book--he
did publish one on the Newman family--he did not index it--but otherwise is
a great addition to literature on Families in Franklin County.
Pauline Haslet (not correct spelling) has spent years on the Middleton
family--which is married into the Buckels, Fords and most every other family
in town. Try asking for data on the MSFrankl-L list and she might answer
you--and then again, she might not.
I guess when I get these qlib e-mail notes giving a lot of incorrect data
which I worked years to correct, I get touchy, Kate

Subject: Re: [CALVIT-L] HESTER FORD'S family
Hi, Kate,
Thanks very much for your help. I think you are misunderstanding
something
though.....I am not trying to 'Keep Claiming Joseph FORD' as
my
ancestor......I don't even know who Joseph FORD was or wasn't at this
point......and simply had responded to an earlier message that was written
asking me, specifically, about Hester FORD.....I was not trying to say
that I
was opposed to your information which may be perfectly
accurate......I was
simply telling her what information that I had as she had asked.
It is only this past week that I had finally received information
regarding
the ancestry of my 4th great grandfather, Henry FORD, born: 1790 in
Natchez,
MS, who married Mary Ann BUCKELS.....and I have simply been
interested in
sorting through the information sent to me and trying to ascertain the
correctness of all of that information. Since the information that I was
sent which informed me that Joseph FORD was the father of my John D. FORD
and
a list of other children I have just been setting out trying to
verify any
of
that.......as that is all I have to go on at this point.....but I
thought
that was what we are here in this forum to do.....????
I am not the least bit interested in going down the wrong path in any of
my
lines....and if your concern is that this particular Joseph FORD is
of
some
'lofty' stature of which I am unaware.....that is of
absolutely no
interest
to me whatsoever ......as I have found an extensive amount of
verifiable
ancestors on every side of my family that were in the Revolutionary War
and
of noble and royal lineage to the extreme! I don't need any
more! <lol>
I just want to find the correct ancestry......very plain and very simple.
Thanks again for your help.
Sincerely,
Bellinda Myrick - Barnett
