Parents were John Ford and Joanna Andrews. I'm certain there were other children for this couple, but didn't note them as this isn't my direct line. John Ford, the father, is credeited as being son of William Ford and Sarah Dingley of the Plymouth Colony. May be worth checking into if you have reason to believe this is your line.

Christine in Montreal, Canada >> Christine: I have no specifics that can help in your efforts but you are one of the minority that I see with family tracings back into the UK, and specifically in England. While my Fords, so far, are traceable to the 1850's in the Hampshire (southerly England) I often wonder if prior generations are connected to other parts of the country. Has your tree been published in any manner, say as a web site? I would be interested in hearing from other Fords of English descent that have their trees published with information as to any available site. While my Ford information has been published it was raw in nature and has errors to be corrected and much more info to be added. If anyone out there is tracing Ford's in the Hampshire area please let me know. Thanks. Ed (Ted) Ford [email protected]
