Bob, Gosh, we're going to find we're practically the same family if we keep going. I'll forward this message to KYMONROE as no doubt there are a lot of folk out there looking for the families you have cited. My grandmother was Pearlie Ann Ford, d/o William Ford and Susan Ford (first cousins). My Fords were run out of Washington County, TN, after the family lost everything in a Tenn. Supreme Court challenge to Lloyd Ford's will, in which he left everything to his slaves. These facts are based on the research by the late Willie Dow Ford. Also, we're practically neighbors as I have lived off the Captial Beltway -- in Reston, and now Centreville -- since the late 1970s. I have just this week posted some info looking for Abraham in the Shenandoah. So long as I'm here in Edinburg, I ought to see what I can find Thanks, Jemima ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, February 13, 2000 8:50 AM Subject: Re: [KYMONROE] Fw: ZADOCK FORD--Ky. & Ark. > JEMIMA, > > Just an observation: One of the Roberts in Ill. named a son Zadoc.
