Gary, I need to spend more time looking in the various Ford databases to find your link to Lloyd Ford, but I'll post your query to the KYMONROE list as many of your other cousins will be able to see and respond to your message. You should know you are descended from the Quakers of Maryland -- the Prices and the Fords. There's lots of posted data about these families as the Quakers kept good records. James Randolph "Randy" Jobe has your mother in his database, but she is not linked to Will or Alonzo; but not to worry, we'll find her. Here at Randy's database, I traced your Pitcock line and see that Jimmy Dale goes to Leander Hammer, so we're kin on that line also! Shirley Ford Bowersox may have your line, as could some of the others in Clan Ford. In a recent telephone conversation I had with Randy Jobe, I learned the late W.D. "Bill" Ford's home page is no longer available because of technical problems. Bill died in an accident last June, but his widow, Frances, had left the site on line for all Ford researchers. Bill had transcribed and posted the Lloyd Ford lawsuit and although I don't have the transcript, I'm sure some of the other Ford researchers will be able to get a copy to you. By the way, I knew your dad. As I remember he was very, very tall and had red hair, but I can't remember your mother; Did she use her middle name, Merlene, or Phyllis? I was born in 1941, and was likely not in school with either of them. Here are the URLs where you can link to Randy, Phil and Doug's databases.
