Interesting fellow this Samuel Ford. Anybody know more?? The one blot on the Kitchel family record is that Grace, daughter of Joseph Kitchel and Rachel Bates, married Samuel Ford. Samuel Ford was the son of outstanding family in Morristown, hosts to George Washington when he spent the winter in Morristown. The son was quite a clever forger and did a good job of disabling the new Republic by creating the Panic of 1793 with his printed money. When he was found out, he skipped to Ireland and married (without benefit of a divorce) and had 3 children. He returned again in the later days of the war and continued his currency deals and again was at the point of being caught. So taking his mother's maiden name Baldwin, he retired to the wilds of Virginia where he married again (without divorce) and became the patriarch of some prominent families of Virginia. Samuel Ford's line is also the line whose descendants include the wife of a president and the mother of the current president of the United States. -2 416 5-1 m 20Jan1757 Hanover NJ Samuel FORD b Abt 1735 Hanover NJ son Samuel FORD and Sarah BALDWIN, notorious counterfeiter 1793; d Lewisburg GreenbrierCo VA, alias Samuel BALDWIN -2 416 5-1-2 m VA ?______ ?______ (bigamous, alias BALDWIN)
