Oscar Ford lived with his son William Henry Ford in the 1900 Essex County NJ Census. Oscar was b.ca. 1829 NJ, a widower, married ca. 1857. Son William was born in 1856 in Parsippany, Morris County, NJ. It looks like I should find Oscar in Morris County in 1860. Does anyone have access to the 1860 Morris or Essex censuse who could check for Oscar? I'd surely appreciate it. I have asked for 1870 lookups for Morris County (CD#240) but he was not there. I found William Henry in 1800 in Essex County, but could not find Oscar in Essex County nor Morris County. Was Oscar a middle name? I've seen William O. Fords. Oscar was a shoemaker in 1898 Newark (City Directory).

If you find a MOTT lady married to one of those FORDs in the Morristown area, please let me know. So I'm told she was related to my grandmother. The time frame would be between 1870 and 1910 I imagine. I don't have a name so I'm just flying by the seat of my pants on this one. Cheers...
