John Ford had the following children that have been identified so far: 1. FORD Stephen, b. BET 1786 AND 1790, Washington, NC/TN 2. FORD Leah, b. 03 Feb 1786, Washington, TN 3. FORD John, Jr., b. Abt 1796, Washington, TN 4. FORD Isaac, b. Abt 1800, Washington, TN 5. FORD Elizabeth, b. Abt 1805, Washington, TN 6. FORD Hannah, b. 1807, Washington, TN We believe John was born about 1759 in Maryland; came to Washington County TN abt. 1782, died about 1819 in Washington County TN. Had a land grant of 100 acres on Sinking Creek in Washington County about 1784. Like Ann I would love to find a connection back to Maryland. Suzanne Pratt
