John Foard of Somerset
Looking for more information on John Foard, b/c1727 Somerset, Maryland, d/1798 Mint Hill, Mecklenburg Co, NC at Rocky Springs Cemetary. He lived at one time in VA. John was in the Rev. War, a signer of the Mecklenburg Co Declaration of Inddpendance. I believe his father is Henry Foard and mother Rebecca (no last name). He m/Catherine Robinette who d/c1805 Mecklenburg Co., NC. They had two children; Elizabeth b/1750, m/c1768 to William Morris, d/22May 1821 at Mecklenburg Co., NC; Zebulon b/1748, m/Elizabeth Harris, d/1808 Mecklenburg Co., NC. They are all burined at the Rocky Springs Cemetary in Mecklenbury Co. I received a lot of information (some amusing) about John Foard, a VERY high regarded man in his time. I am told there is a monument in his honor in Mecklenburg Co. It's also told that his first tombstone was stolen because it was a stone that was HUGE, very straight and VERY beautiful - that it became a fireplace mantle in someone's home. I learned from this list that he had two brothers, Wyatt and Frances. Would love to have more information pelase. Thanks, Donna
