          Below you will find a book on the Ford family of Chester County, SC and their relatives and descendents. I typed it in from a copy of the hand-written document. I tried to leave it as it was originally written.
          Antecedents of the Family of Robert Ford and their Lateral Relatives so far as now known with some Military Record of himself and sons L. M. Ford
          August 5, 1904 This was written for Mrs. H. M. Stevenson, daughter of Robert Ford.
          (Note from BLHamrick: The information on Nathaniel, Sr. is in the Notes section for him. The information on Nathaniel, Sr.'s other children are in their respective Notes sections. For a complete, unadulterated copy of this transcript, see Message Number 2526 on the FORD GenForum.)

There Martha married Sauls, and all the sons married there also. The names of their wives are not now known. Gardner died many years ago a very wealthy man.

      Who is correct wife?
      Looking for any descendants of Gardner Ford or Nathaniel Ford who may have spilled over into Chester County from Fairfield County. Gardner was married to Magdalen Love, daughter of Robert Love (d. 1779 in Craven County). Nathaniel Ford was married to Sinah Cloud, daughter of William Cloud.
