I am researching TN newspaper editor named John W. Ford, who I believe is John Waller Ford, son of Zachary Daniel Ford and Mary Polly Gordon. John W. Ford and his children are listed in post #8283 in the Ford Family forum: “Fords of Hamilton County and Surrounding Area.”
The following are the basic facts about John W. Ford. I have information about his work and public life. However, I do not have much on his wife and children and would appreciate help from other Ford researchers. Thanks for any help, Pam

Florence Ellis 19 - no relationship stated, Arkansas*
(Florence is living with RW & Eliza Jennie Ellis in 1860 in Newton, Neosha, Mo. in 1860 census. So, Florence is likely a granddaughter. Jennie is identified as the daughter of John W. Ford in her obituary, and he is in her household in 1880. She was married in 1846, so she is not in the Ford household in 1850.)
