Descendants of Andrew Jackson Ford Sr. -------------------------------------- 1-Andrew Jackson Ford Sr. b. Feb 1858, Elm Springs, Washington, AR, d. 10 Nov 1911, New Hope Cemetery, Spiro, Le Flore, OK, USA +Frances K. (Fannie) Hendrix b. Jun 1868, Fort Smith, Sebastian, AR, d. 6 Nov 1911, Spiro, Le Flore Hi Larry, I've been offline for well over a week now babysitting little Ash, age 2 (just barely), and when I was able to get back online Sat., I had difficulties getting into my software or Microsoft so DELL Systems spent about 4 hrs. helping me restore, however I lost anywhere from 20 to 100 emails so you might have sent me one before the above post from you?....anyway, I'm at a loss as to the above but I'm assuming you've made a NEW contact on our FORD line?.....I do hope so and if so, who do they descend from? If its Andrew J. Ford Sr. then I'm really excited because thats my direct line. Hoping your springtime in Tx. is just as beautiful as ours is beginning to be! I hear from Tami and she's talking about us all getting together. Do you know anything about the specifics of this?....I would like to visit w/her Aunt Pearl and know more about William Ford and Louis Lee Ford if possible....maybe one of us can "nudge something new" out of her...wouldn't that be just great? Tami's side knew about RUFE being shot but not the specifics....I would like to find out whether they caught the murderer and the reason he killed Rufe. Was it a case of mistaken identity like the newspaper articles stated?.....It seems Our Fords have had lots of killings, murders etc. but maybe not anymore than was happening to other families who ventured ever westwards...this was outlaw land for sure back then. I heard from Bob Bartley-Ford (ha, he stated he needed hypenated name after matching up with Earl so closely) ....he's going to locate the approximate location of James G. Ford's land for me so I can go and walk it next trip up to Benton and Washington County...isn't this cool?...I hope its not where development is now but still a countryside or farm (and the way its developing in NW AR. so rapidly, this is becoming more difficult to find each day).... Talk to you later and have a good Sunday! Glynda
