Looking for parents of Daniel Ford who served in Starling Tucker's Regiment of South Carolina Militia during the War of 1812. Daniel Ford married Agatha Walker, dau of Elijah and Elizabeth Walker of Laurens County, SC. Daniel and Agatha are mentioned by name in the Walker Estate Papers, 1819-1821 as living in Georgia at the time of settlement. Daniel evidently moved his family to Oglethorpe County, GA where he purchased land from Isaiah Hardman in 1819. Daniel is listed as head of household on the 1820 and 1830 Oglethorpe censuses. The Fords moved from Oglethorpe County to Henry County, GA by 1840. The 1850 Henry County census which list only initials for given names, says that D. Ford was born in Georgia and A. Ford was born in Virginia. Census records show some of the Ford children as having been born in South Carolina and some in Georgia. The last child born in South Carolina (according to census) was Elijah Walker Ford who was born 11 Nov 1816. His tombstone in Marion County, AL says that he was born in South Carolina. I'm not at all sure that Daniel was born in Georgia, although some of his childre on the 1880 census records say that he was born in Georgia. I'm looking in both Georgia and South Carolina, but no luck so far. If anyone has in clues, please reply. Jimmie dors1933@vvm.com That's two vees in my email address and not a dubya.
