Their parents are William Edward Ford and Martha Wilson [thence,our common ancestors]. I don't have anything on Samuel W. Lowry, except he was Mattie's husband. I don't have ancestors of William Edward. All I have for Martha is that her parents were John Wilson and Harriet_____? [no dates or locations]. I have lots and lots of information on most of William & Martha's 12 children, except your Mattie [aka Martha] appears to be one of the few that I don't have much for. I will send you a Descendancy Chart personally if you like.....just let me know. From lack of time I'm not working on genealogy much these days, but someday I will get back full steam....sooooo lets keep in touch. If you find ancestors of William and Martha please let me know and I will do the same. Where do you live? A new found Kuz'n Kathlynn SIMPSON Arledge Johnson in Texas [but from AR and AR lineages]
