I have also been researching the FORD surname from Alabama. My grandmother told me that her mother's name was Maggie Ford, and Maggie's mother was Jane Ford, born before emancipation in Alabama. Any other information is unclear, but Maggie had at least one sister named Elizabeth. I believe I found Maggie in Warrior Stand, Macon, AL, in 1880, with her father, James Ford. Even though he was listed as "married", there was no wife in the household. Maggie shows up again in Caddo, Arkansas in 1920, with my grandmother and 2 of my granduncles. For some reason, I thought that my FORDs came from Perry County in AL.

I'm not familiar with either Charles or Mary Ford, but noticed your query for West or Venus. I'm familiar with the Venus Ford story only thru a phenomenal documentary on PBS a few months ago. Check out Linda Allen Ford's website, which has a plethera of info, including her Family Tree. It's http://westfordlegacy.com/home.htm.

My 4th cousin & I are looking for Josephine Burton Ford who was born abt. 1875 in Mississippi. She married Rev. James Ford, April 17, 1894. He was born abt. 1853 also in Mississippi. We know for sure that Josephine existed, but don't have proof of exactly where 7 how. We believe she could be last born of Colonel W.R. Stuart & his former slave Tempy Burton.

If you are referring to Simeon Ford (b.abt. 1745 d.1833 Hogans Creek Caswell Co, NC), I think I can help. This Simeon also had a son named John N.Ford. My father is a direct descendant of John, and therefore Simeon & Winifred.

Hi,

I'm not familiar with the Ford side but am interested in Ephraim Parks. I do have info on the Camerons so please let me know if this is the same family. How are you related to Parks?

I am interested in this line also can you tell me if they ended up in Marshall co, Kentucky. I have her father as Absalom and Mary Elizabeth. And a Josiah b. 1835 marrying Katherine Peck, and Josiah adopting Katherine's child George Washington could this be part of the line that you speak of.

POW/MIA Korean War

powmiadna — 2009-11-02 14:20:08Z

I am searching for the family of a soldier who was killed in the Korea War. When he entered service he gave Denver Counrt, Colorado as his home of record. His remains were never recovered. Our government has no family contact at this time for this soldier

Soldier: DONALD RAY FORD
Born: 1927
Date of loss: August 27, 1951 MIA

When the Korean War ended the enemy never returned or accounted for over 8,000 of our servicemen. They died in their hands. That was over 50 years ago. Since that time DNA has been perfected and also they are recovering remains in North Korea. Our government is obligated to return those remains to the proper family. DNA samples have been obtained from most of the families of these missing soldiers. For various reasons some families have not been located.

When the remains are recovered and identified they will be returned to the family for proper burial. I am just an old (79years) Combat Veteran out of the Korean War and thankful that I did return. I consider this a very noble cause and I hope that you can help in some way to find this family. For more information on the project you may go to http://www.jpac.pacom.mil/. My part in the program is to match up the lost families with the proper agency.

I will be grateful for any assistance in locating this family.

Hello,
I am interested in your Phebe Ford, and wonder if she might be a sister of our Susannah Ford who married Isaac Ferguson in Quincey, Adams Co., Illinois. They had 3 children, the last resulted in her death in about 1838.
I would enjoy learning more about Phebe's siblings.

Re: FORD: Cape Girardeau, Missouri

jodimclane67 — 2009-10-19 15:58:14Z

It sounds close but I'm not sure.

John Cleary married Sallie Lindsey.

Their daughter, Elizabeth Cleary from Illinois (1869-1944) married John Ford.

From this marriage, they had five children: Raymond, Jake, Jesse, George, and Mattie.

Mattie Martha Ford (1890-1975) married Willis Leonard Reed.

The FORD'S and REED'S came by covered wagon from Union County, Illinois to Scott County, Missouri. From there, they moved and lived in Cape Girardeau, Misouri.

My grandparents are Mattie and Willis. They had ten children, one dying at birth.

Does this information go along with what you have?

I don't have a lot of information, but this is what I have:
Mattie Martha Ford 1890-1975 born in Illinois,
daughter of John Ford 1856-1927 and Elizabeth Cleary 1869-1944,.....and they had four sons: Jess, Jake, Raymond, George.....It then goes to the Clearly line.

I know the Ford family in Cape Girardeau. I went to school with the youngest son, Donald Ford. I don't believe my line is related to them.

Re: FORD: Cape Girardeau, Missouri

jodimclane67 — 2009-10-19 07:50:36Z

Thank you, but this is not the right FORD family. Mine migrated from Illinois to Southeast Missouri between 1908-1912.

FORD: Cape Girardeau, Missouri

jodimclane67 — 2009-10-17 18:47:54Z

She married Willis Leonard Reed, born in 1885 in Illinois. Once they moved to Missouri, they lived in Cape Girardeau until they died.

John Edmond Ford b.1852 MS d, 1931 LA son of John Ford b.SC

mesouth — 2009-10-03 23:18:33Z

I am looking for ancestors of John Edmond Ford b.3-5-1852 in Mississippi. Married Mary Eva Sarrett in Hinds County, MS in 1881. He died in 1931 in Natchitoches, LA and is buried there. I can take all 12 children forward, but nothing before 1880.

He is thought to be the son of John Ford born in SC. This John Ford probably died in Mississippi after 1951.

Any help is appreciated.

The Onarga Illinois Historical Society is creating a display to honor veterans with Onarga connections. We would really like to obtain a picture of Michael Eugene Ford - who was killed in Viet Nam - in his uniform so he can be included. I believe this particular Ford family lived in the Onarga area until the mid 1960's when they moved to Quincy Illinois. Michael's father - Leroy - was an optometrist. If anyone could provide me such a picture, please email me at onargahistoricalsociety@yahoo.com Thanks.

Yet another Chesley Ford

vagenealogy3 — 2009-10-14 20:39:27Z

Near the same age as the Chesley Ford WV > MO...is another Chesley Ford from my VA Ford family.

My Chesley B Ford, a few yrs older than the previously mentioned, Mine was born 1842 in Halifax Co VA to Bird and Louisa Ford; Chesley moved with his family to Alabama and became Sgt. Chesley B Ford in the 13th Alabama Inf. Co. I, he was present at the surrender at Appomatox, VA..then disappeared..LOL

I once had him confused with the other Chesley who was in Cape G. Missouri. I find a C B Ford in 1880 Kinney Co TX, but have no way of knowing if this is him. There is a curious record on ancestry.com. If anyone know more about this type of record, please advise.
"California State Roster 1909
Military and Government Sonoma Ca State home, pg 191, location- Eldridge.
Name: Chesley Ford"

I think it could be my Chesley as I know he was in the military.. But I do not find him anywhere in 1900 census. Thanks in advance.

Re: FORD: Cape Girardeau, Missouri

Spindazzled — 2009-10-18 00:08:37Z

Do you know what county/town in Illinois your Fords were from, and what district/township in Cape Girardeau? Do you know when they died?

My Fords were also from Southern Illinois and then moved to the Cape.

I am still searching for my great-grandmother, Sarah Ellen (Ford) Reese, who was married to John Franklin Reese.

Sarah was born in Southern Illinois in 1844. She is with her husband and children in the 1880 census for Ridge Township, Union county, Illinois.

They moved up near Shawnee Township in North Cape Girardeau, where she died on 24 July, 1882. She died at Indian Creek, near Neeley's landing.

Sarah's brother was Joshua Lafayette Ford, born 20 Dec 1843, in Jackson County, Southern Illinois. Joshua was married to Sarah Ellen Isbell. After the Civil War, they moved to Shawnee Township, in Cape Girardeau, where Joshua died, 20 Jan 1905.

I know for sure that Sarah & Joshua were related to the line of Ford's who still operate the Ford Family Funeral Homes in the Cape. Those Fords are descended from the Chesley Ford family, of Cape Girardeau, but I have not
been able to make the connection to Sarah's parents among Chesley's brothers, uncles, cousins?

In the 1850 census for Cape, a couple of houses away from Chesley, a Joshua Ford, age 7, is living with Thompson Hill. Next door, in the household of Margry Hill, there is a Sarah Ford, age 60. If she was 6 instead of 60, they could have been my Sarah & Joshua.

Some of my Fords, who migrated from So. Illinois to Cape Girardeau, eventually ended up in Stoddard County, Missouri.

Looking forward to sharing with you.

Katherine,

I am reading this late and was having a bit of trouble hashing out lineage for a moment... If I read and understood correctly, I think I have enough of a handle on who's who to say that Glenn and Parker were the same generation. As such, your aunt Wanitta should be your uncle Bill's youngest sister. Does that sound right?
Anyhow, if it is right, we are some manner of cousins as Bill is my grandfather and I recall his son Edwin (my dad) talking about his aunt Wanitta.
Anyhow, Bill and his wife Carrie Ann Ray (maiden name) had Phillip Joseph (d. in 1931), Edwin Thomas (living), Barbara Ann (d. 11-14-2005), Quentin Roosevelt (unknown ...) and Rose (d. infant). I don't have knowledge or contact with any generation older than that at all, but Edwin had at least 5 children:
Rose Marie (living) Owen Lee (d. 1973) Dwayne Laramie (d. 1971) Kathleen Louise (possibly recently deceased) and myself, Ivan.
Barbara Ann had one child; Mona (living, and a super lady).
Quentin had at least a few children; sadly I know almost nothing about this as contact was lost well before I was born. Quentin may have been married to a woman named Lorine or Lorraine.

My sister Rose had one child; Naomi (living).
My sister Kathleen had one child; Chelsea (living).
My 1st cousin Mona had two children; William (living) and Chelsea (living).

Most respectfully,

Ivan William Joseph Ford

Ford family Bucklebury, Berkshire

margaretanne12 — 2009-09-19 15:01:45Z

Just wondered if anyone was researching the Ford family from Bucklebury, Berkshire.
I have reached a wall with John Ford c1717-1792. Married to Elizabeth Marshall. I think his father was Thomas Ford c1690 and his mother was called Elizabeth.
I am a direct descendant of John.
Any information would be very greatfuly received.
Kind regards
Margaret
