Wit: James Nelson. Rec. 1 Oct. 1718. John Ford of Richmond County married to an Elizabeth and was the father of John, William & Patience Ford. He had to have died at least around the turn of the century because daughter Patience is at least a little under the age of 18 and wife Elizabeth remarried and widowed again. Is this the same John Ford from Accomack County (that John would have been around 88 yrs. old in 1700)? Anyone have information on this branch? Thanks, Vicki in Virginia
