I am looking for more information on Mary A. Ford and her parents.Mary A. Ford is my 2nd Great Grandmother.She is the second wife of Wesley Davis.She was born in 1830 in Virginia and died in 1903.
Wesley Davis (1811-1900) moved into the Cross Roads area before the Indian Removal and married Nellie Reed (1818-1858) who was a half-Cherokee.Family tradition related that they were married first in an Indian ceremony and later remarried by the traditions of the white culture.Before Nellie died in 1858, the couple had six children.
Wesley Davis married the second time, Mary A. Ford (1829-1903), and they had seven children.
