Germanna Foundation database for son James P Ford James Pannell Ford says: [S2037665] '''It appears he has been attached to the wrong parents. John Ford's son James was living in 1825 when John wrote his will'''
Wikitree has a husband Daniel Grant for Mary Pannell https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Pannell-243 and no Ford husband.
More work/research is needed.
Hopefully direct descendants can weigh in
Looks like his son John's will. Maybe HE married Elizabeth Myrtle Thornton?
See https://www.ancestry.com/sharing/4203482?mark=7b22746f6b656e223a226...
https://www.ancestry.com/search/collections/48239 has some really good info but a few errors as well. Piecing them together still
Reviving the discussion...
Curated profile.
Need to prove parents and also "wife" Elizabeth Pannell Ford
Just now seeing this again today
The DAR Patriot is listed at DAR with just the one wife Alphia Ford and a comment that there were several men of same name.
Germanna Foundation database has him with wife Alphia but no parents and no second wife.
