This is a multi-part message in MIME format. --------------27D2F3D6BE46ADA104DF4433 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Cathie/Harvey, Does the "History of Watauga County..." have any references to a Mary Eggers (daughter of Landrine ?) who married a John Ford? Also, any listing of who the "New Jersey settlers" are you referred to, when they came to Rowan County, etc.? I have a plat map from Rowan County which shows land owned by Landrine Eggers close to land by John Ford. Later they moved to the area around Boone (today's Watauga County). I'm trying to find clues about the several "John Ford's" in the area and am trying to figure out which is which and what their roots were back to New Jersey and UK? Scotland ? Ireland, etc. Any help you might have would be greatly appreciated. By the way, I'm a gr-gr-gr-grandson of the John Ford who married Mary Eggers--their son Nineveh Ford went to Missouri and then on to Washington/Oregon in 1843 with the Whitman wagon train. Thanks so much.
