He was killed by lightning in 1910. His biological parents were Sophronia Peyton (Fronie) and Daniel Beauragard Penn (Burrie). This was told to my great grandmother Mary Tom - Oscar's wife, by Fronie herself at the time that my grandfather Beaura Gard Ford, was born. Fronie wanted her first grandson to be named after his grandpap, and so he was. I'm not sure what all happened, but somewhere along the line, Fronie and Burrie where forced apart. I'm still looking for evidence/proof. Fronie married Hugh Rodman Ford when Oscar was still fairly young and he was raised as Oscar Ford. Sophronia Peyton is the daughter of Benjamin Peyton and America Downey. She was born 18 May 1865 in Henry County, Kentucky. I have more if you would like it.
