    1. John Ford of Fairfield County, OH

    3. List, I recently obtained a copy of the will of John Ford who died 24 July 1830 in Fairfield Co. And upon reading it, I have a question I was hoping someone could answer. He mentions several of his children in the will - namely Adam C. Ford, Prudence (Ford) Campfield, Phoebe (ford) Laird, Philip Ford, And Hannah (Ford) Twigg. Then in the eighth bequest it reads: "............. And my grandchildren the children of Robert Ford and Susannah Cooke's that is each family of children to be equal to one of the other and to their heirs and assigns forever." When I first read through this I thought it meant that Robert Ford was married to Susannah Cooke, but then I thought he was married to a Margaret Smith on 12 Mar 1815. So I thought ok - maybe that was his first wife. Then I got to reading it a little closer and caught the part ....each family of children to be equal...... and figured it was two separate families. So...my question is.... Does anyone have a record of John Ford having a daughter Susannah who married a Mr. Cooke? I only have 7 children listed for John Ford and Hannah Clould - but I could have missed someone. Any ideas? Thanks Debbie Miller Blacklick, OH
