Surnames: Ford, Foard, Baldwin, Moreland Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/5UB.2ACI/1442.2.1 Message Board Post: The transcript of the 1804 will for your Ford ancestor is very interesting. There may be absolutely no connection to the Ford/Foard family I am researching....but....who knows? Peter Ford and Joseph Ford were in Burke Co., NC at the time of the American Revolution. Peter Ford married Sarah Baldwin in Rowan Co., NC in Nov 1774 - identifying her father as John Baldwin. John Baldwin served as lieutenant in the Rev War where Joseph Ford served as Capt at Kriders Ford, in Burke Co., NC. Peter Ford died in Burke Co and his widow married Moreland and she moved to Wash Co., TN. Interestingly, however, a Jacob Baldwin received a land patent that abutted the land of Peter Ford. And you have a Jacob?
