The Price and the Ford families inter married since coming to America. Some members of these families moved to the Watauga Settlements . Living and working close together they continued this practice. There wasn't much choice when it came to picking a mate. Cousins married cousins because of limited choice and to keep wealth in the family. ( My Dad said that the Fords intermarried, to keep wealth in the family, to the degree that they almost destroyed themselves)

Land records of 1790 show Mordecai Ford owning land close to the other Fords. However the 1830 census does not mention his name. Instead, it shows Leah Ford as head of a household with two boys, one under five years of age and the other, age between 10 and 15. These ages fit Mordecai Price Ford and Libby Milton Ford. Also, I've been told by my parents that these two great grandfathers of mine were brothers.

Accepted application request for membership into the Daughters of the American Revolution, National No. 471696, lists Mordecai Ford, Jr. b. May 20 1768, died 1828 Tennessee, married to Mary Price, May 5, 1804, b. Baltimore Co. Md., died about 1845 in Tennessee

Monroe County Kentucky Death Records list Leah Ford's death April 8, 1854, 70 years old, and parents as Mordecai Ford and Mary, born in Washington Co. Tn. It is known that she lived with Mordecai Price Ford's Family in Kentucky, and lived with them before their move to Kentucky.

Mordecai Price {B6), son of Mordecai Price (b),and Rachel Moore, b. d. about 1815, married Mary ....

Leah Ford (7b), of Mordecai Ford (b6),and Mary, b. 1784. Washington Co. Tn. d. April 8, 1854, Monroe Co., believed to have lived with Mordecai Price and Libby Ford but never married.

From http://www.genealogy.com/forum/surnames/topics/phillips/18101/

I, too, and seeking factual information about this couple.All I know is that Elizabeth Phillips was the daughter of Robert Phillips who made his will April 1688.I've seen as many fake pedigrees and wives for Robert as there are grains of sand on the shore, because everybody wants a pedigree like that of Phillips of Picton.

One whopper of a claim is descent from Marjory Dennis, daughter of Robert Dennis and Margaret Godolphin.But get a load of this.Google Books."A View of Devonshire in MDCXXX".Page 616.Paraphrase: Margaret, daughter of Robert Dennis and Margaret Godolphin, married a baronet by the name of Phillips.She died without heirs.
