Cornelius Ford is a son of Priscilla Casey Ford and William Ford. He was born about 1858 in Michigan.
In 1878 Cornelius married Melvina S. Artis (or Chaties- difficult to read) in Cass Co. Michigan on 15 January 1878. In the Michigan Marriaages 1822-1995 database, the record is on page 173, record number 21709. [1]
The 1880 Census shows Cornelius and Melvina in St. Joseph, Michigan and with a son, Fred.[2]
