My Ford bunch came to Texas by way of Kentucky until Ancil Roe who was born in May. I've not made any other connection because Ancil Roe is where my proven sources run dry. John Braud Ford was his father who brought the family to May. He was nicknamed Jack. Edith Ford who lives in May still, married one of Ancil's brothers. If you have anything at all that might assist me further, I would certainly appreciate it. Meanwhile, I'll be looking for your bunch, too. I figure they must be distant cousins to have wound up in such a small community together. I'll keep trailing, I guess. Thanks for your responses.
