Ernest Jennings - aka Tennessee Ernie - Ford's ancestors really aren't that much a mystery. Ernest Jennings Ford b: 13 Feb 1919 in Bristol, Sullivan Co., TN (not Bristol VA-it's a split city with one side of the street being TN and the other VA, but Tennessee Ernie was born in the TN side) son of Thomas Clarence Ford (b: about 1893) & Maude ?. Grandson of William Alexander Ford b: 1858 d: 1925 and Alice Marion. Great-grandson of Daniel Peter Ford (b: 1825 d: 1891) and Margaret Hartman. Great-great grandson of Lloyd Ford III (1784-1863) and Mary Branstetter. Either Lloyd, III or Daniel P. Ford apparently moved to Sullivan Co. from Washington Co. where many Fords migrated from MD after the Revolution. Thomas Clarence had one sister named Lula. Lloyd III was son of Lloyd Ford, Jr. b: 1748 MD d: 1842 Washington Co., TN and Mary Wood b: 1760 in MD. He was son of Lloyd Ford b: 1727 Baltimore Co., MD d: 1816 Washington Co. TN and Mary Grant b: 1733 in MD. This Lloyd moved to TN after the Revolution (before it was TN). He was the son of Thomas Ford (1682-1748) and Leah Price (1690-1748). This Thomas was the grandson of Thomas Ford who immigrated to MD before 1652.
