Hello, I am looking for Jacob and Martha Ford in the 1870 census. I have actually looked for Jacob before (a bit) but thought if there was an every person index maybe someone could find them by looking for Martha. Jacob was born about 1838 in Indiana. He was in Vance Twp., Vermillion County, Illinois in the 1860 census. He married Martha Tipton November 10, 1862. They were in Kent County, Michigan in the 1880 census. The 1880 Census says his father was born in North Carolina and his mother in Indiana, but I don't know their names and do not have another source that confirms these birth places. They were in the 1884 Michigan Census with their children Mable, Elizabeth, William F., Sarah Ellen, and James. Jacob died May 15, 1887 in Kent County, Michigan at the age of 48. Martha died Martha died January 15, 1926 in Ottawa County, Michigan. She was the daughter of Elenor Jane Estep and Nicholas Tipton. Thanks in advance! Hope that is enough information. Laura
