It does seem that there is conflicting information regarding Permelia's father.
It does seem that it is still speculation that her father was James according to the naming of my ggg-grandfather James Ford Mitchusson.Charles W. Ford has the same info regarding Cassandra, in his familytree, and she also named a son James Ford.
According to Satan's Ferryman.William Prince and William Mitchusson were brothers-in-law, which means that his second wife Elizabeth Ford and Permelia Ford had to be sisters.This would make Permelia's father, John Ford of VA.After Dulcinea Barry, William Prince's first wife died, William Prince returned from Prince's Station, TN to find a wife for his children.One of who, Dulcinea Barry Prince, married Jesse Ford, son of William and Cassandra Ford.Elizabeth was the widow of Phillip Ford.She had 3 sons, Phillip Jr, James, and Richard.Col James Ford became famous and later infamous.Apparently "John Ford had left Elizabeth a manor house, complete with outbuildings and 300 acres of land, in South Carolina, in addition to household goods and slaves.Prehaps as a means of cementing a friendship with Elizabeth, William Prince posted a heavy bond at Spartanburg and at nearby Abbeville in order to qualify as administrator of Philip Ford's estate.Elizabeth and her 3 sons inherited the estate; William bought the household goods and slaves from Elizabeth, then proposed to her.She accepted."After that the Princes and William Mitchusson's family moved to Prince's Station, TN.According to the Ford Forum, there is also another Ford family (3 brothers James, John, and Stephen) who immigrated directly from England to SC.Stephen bought land in Georgetown Co,1699.John moved to the Santee River area, and James moved to Marion Co.Just more fuel to the fire.
