Book on Nathaniel Ford - SC - 1753-1843
Posted by: Ned Little Date: January 18, 2000 at 12:41:16
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.)

James Ford married Keziah Ford, a kinswoman, and daughter of some of the Fords aforementioned. Her mother's name was Maggie, and she had brother William A. Ford, and she was related to the Grahams. She bore two sons William and James. James Ford, the husband and father died in 1830, and was buried on a high hill on Dutchman's Creek where repose the ashes of Nathaniel Ford, Sr. and his wife. This land was once the property of Nathaniel Ford, Sr. but now of Loyd Davis, who informed the writer in summer of 1903 that he lived in the house built by Gardner Ford. Nathaniel Ford was

guardian of these children. Soon after the death of the father, James Ford, the entire family went to Alabama. When last heard of they lived on the Tombigby river.
The following family is found in Choctaw Co., AL 1870 federal census. I believe this to be Keziah and James' son James, with Keziah and her sister Sarah, and Francis may be James' wife (this needs further verification):
