I've "rescued" an old intentions of Marriage Certificate for Elhanan W.
FOORD or FORD and Emily COBURN, both of Sumner, Maine. The document is
dated 22 Mar 1829 and is signed by Bethuel CAREY the Town Clerk in Sumner,
ME. Based on limited research I was able to locate the following
information regarding this couple:
Capt. Elhanan W. FORD was b. 18 Oct 1808 in Maine, the son of Seth FORD (b.
25 Dec 1781 in Pembroke, MA) and Sally NASON (b. 9 Feb 1788 in MA). Elhanan
was a blacksmith in Dickvale, ME for many years. Elhanan died 18 Oct 1888
in Dickvale, ME and is buried in the Dickvale Cemetery along with his wife
Emily COBURN FORD (1814-1898) and daughter Caroline FORD LOVEJOY
(1830-1882).
Emily COBURN was b. 11 Feb 1814 and died 11 Feb 1898 in Peru, ME.
Elhanan and Emily FORD had 11 children including, Caroline; Marcilena;
Ellis; Columbia; Augusta; Avilda; Angeline Mennva; Byron; Samuel Adelbert;
Elhanan; and Emily FORD, all born between 1830 and 1853. Son Elhanan b.
1850 married Clara I. ? and together they had 5 children including Bertha
Mae; Minnie Estella; and Blanche FORD all born in Hartford, ME in the 1880's
and 1890's, he died 21 Apr 1930 in Brooklin, ME. Daughter Columbia FORD
married James MORRISON and died 2 Feb 1902 in Boston, MA and is buried in
