He was twice married and I do not know the name of his first wife, however that union produced three children, i.e. Robert, Emma and Gertrude ( not sure of girl's names). His second marriage was to my grandmother, Elva Helen Glover and I have traced one line of her lineage back to 1500. The children of his second marriage were -----Nina, Beulah (my mother) and two sons who died at about ages 2 and 4. Grandfather Ford died in Harrison County around 1937, 1938 or 1939. He is buried in the Old McIntire Cemetary between Viropa and Enterprise. I have searched for many hours in the Gen Web World Connect and many other web sites, and have hit a "stone wall" as far as finding any information about him. He lived in Enterprise for many years and the house where he lived was later sold to the DeMary Family, and since then has burned down. It was located near the former Free Methodist Church and across the street from Dr. Nutter. The street is on the road leading to Matheny Hill. Any help you can give me will be greatly appreciated. Sincerely, Virginia Shaver Gibson P.S. Are you the same Sue Moore who lives in my former home in Enterprise??????
