    3. I'm looking for info on William C. FORD, his wife Sarah Ann ORNE, and their children George Albert FORD and Emma FORD. William and Sarah married in Washington, Sullivan Co., NH on July 1, 1840. I don't have birthdates or parentage on William or Sarah. William was supposedly a medical doctor and Sarah supposedly an ordained Methodist preacher (I didn't know they ordained women then?). George was born April 30, 1845 in Hillsboro, Hillsborough Co., NH. Emma was born about 1842. She evidently married a BARRETT b/c she died as Emma BARRETT in NH State Hospital on Jan 25, 1921. (By the way where is this hospital & what type would it be? She was supposedly buried there.) As the story goes, Emma and George were both orphaned at a young age and were being raised by a grandmother, whose surname might have been FORD or MUGFORD. By about 1852, she also had died and Emma & George were "adopted" by a family named CHAPMAN. At that time, they had no children, but did go on later to adopt two more. Thanks for any help.
