Biography

Warner was born in 1749. He died in 1825.

Parents: Warner Ford Sr. 1718 - 1753 and Frances (Seaton) Ford 1719 - 1780.

Spouse: Cytha (Million) Ford 1753 - 1835. They were married in 1771 in Crab Orchard, Lincoln, Kentucky.

Warner lived in Culpeper County, Virginia and traveled into the Illinois Territory with George Rogers Clark in 1780 and again in 1782. He received "much land" for those expeditions.

On the 1782 expedition he was accompanied by what would become the father-in-law, Robert Terrell, of his two sons, Robert and Jarrett Ford.

When I looked up Warner and Robert's records at the George Rogers Clark Memorial, I did find that two brother's of Robert Terrell sat on the board that passed out the Land Grants from George Rogers Clark's Grant from Congress.

Research Notes

While looking for some records on the Warner Ford's of this line, I found a connection between this line and the John T. and Rachel Spencer Ford line from Stafford Co., Virginia. Among the Warner Ford's in Henry Co. I found a 10th one in the 1850 & 1860 Census, Warner Ford born 1847 to Silas and Amanda McKinsey. Silas was the son of Samuel Ford and Elizabeth Yates and a grandson of John T. and Rachel. John T. died in 1803 in Shelby Co., Kentucky.

This Warner Ford married a Lucy White in Chariton, Missouri in 1871 and resided there until the 1930 Census when he is shown with a daughter and her husband in Broward Co., Florida.

Note: I found Lucy Amanda White in Chariton, MO that married Warner Ford but it has a date of 12/13/1871 and he was dead by then. Perhaps it was another of the Warner Ford's? Marriage record?: https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:WPWG-HR2M
