Manor of Ford, Bawdrip, Somerset:[3] "Adam de la Ford held Ford in 1303. He or another Adam (d. c. 1325) was followed by his widow Christian (d. c. 1329) and his son Adam. Adam and Henry de la Ford, probably his brother, may have died childless before 1346. Ford passed to the Brent family through the marriage of Robert Brent c. 1303 to Clarice, probably daughter of Adam de la Ford (d. c. 1325). Clarice's son Robert Brent (fl. 1330-3) was said to have died in 1351 and to have been followed by his son John (d. by 1373) and grandson John Brent (d. c. 1413)."

Research Notes

Incorrect Name: This profile previously had incorrect parents for Adam de la Ford. Adam de la Ford is not a son William de Forz (or de Vivonne). If you actually trace the references you will come to a blog of someone who who says he made the connection on pure speculation based on the similarities of the de Forz and de la Ford. There is no evidence whatsoever.

We know for sure it is wrong because William de Vivonne died leaving only 4 co-heiress - he had no surviving male children.

Adam de Ford is probably closely related to Roger of Ford who was abbot of Glastonbury Abbey from 1252-1261.[1] The de Brent's, whom
Adam's daughter married into, were closely connected with the Abbey. [1] "The Early History of Glastonbury". Information from Kay Hain,
