John Salmon Ford was my great great grandfather. I am doing a family tree and you have this listing on your site “Ford was the son of William Ford (17895-1866) and Harriet Salmon (1791-1845).” What is the correct birth date of William Ford?
thanks, diane davis
Oh! typos . . .
I have 1785 as the birth date of William Ford. In my records John Ford and Ann Hillier (perhaps) are parents of William Ford. Does this coincide with your records? Thank you for catching my error!
Have been hoping that someone would write a book about John Salmon Ford. Attended a book signing a few years ago and author James M. Smallwood (wrote The Feud That Wasn’t and Indian Texans among other books) said that he keeps expecting someone to write a book about Ford. Your great-great-grandfather contributed so much to Texas.
