Any clues regarding which FORD-FOARD family claims my ancestor Henry FORD/FOARD!! Lived in VA.....moved in 1795 and died in 1808 in Pittsylvania Co VA. Estimated birth 1740..? Your thoughts are appreciated!! Debbie Wood Henry FORD appears to have lived in Charlotte Co VA where some of his children married. A Henry FORD appears in court records with: Culverine, Abner, Hezekiah Elisha [name also in my Ford family] and other FORDs. I've seen Henry FORD names in later FORD families who moved from MD to Mecklenburg NC. I've seen later familes with a Henry FORD and I've seen an earlier Henry FORD. No record found for Henry and Frances FORDs marriage, which would have taken place abt 1760. His estate records in Pittsylvania Co VA show that Frances was already deceased when Henry died in 1808. Names found in relation to Henry FOARD's estate records are: WOODARD, MARTIN, THOMPSON, SHELTON, SPENCER, BARKSDALE, EDWARD, HICKS, RAGLAND, JONES, TERRY, ELLIS. Very early clergy records have a Henry FORD of VA,would've been an adult by 1730, who was a grammar school teacher; HEZEKIAH was listed as his brother (letters to Bishop of London at Library of VA) Henry requests to become a minister ( Church of England) and to replace the spot left by a Deveraux Jarrett.[name Jarrett in my Ford family]. I realize the research on the early FORDS is fairly sketchy, but my Henry must be related somehow to these known lines, as his family names reflect as much. If anyone has an inkling as to where Henry may belong, please drop me a line. My Henry and wife Frances(MDNU) would've married circa 1760 had children: John m.Frances Haynes circa 1791 Elisha born circa 1761 m.Rebecca Haley Eliz. m. Harrison Ashworth in 1791 Sarah m. James Murphy 1796 in Halifax Co VA Frances m. Josiah Shelton in Halifax Co VA 1797 Jarrett m. Nancy Haley William Henry m. Eliz. Thomas m. Rebecca Burton 1793, Charlotte Co VA Mary m. Ambrose Haley 1803, Pittsylvania Co VA The Haley's are children of Lewis and Leannah Haley of King and Queen Co Va and Charlotte Co VA. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
