First Generation

The language of contemporary records hints where ---- Ford had sailed on the Fortune with his wife and two children, but he died sometime before the 1623 Land division. He married Martha and had three children before his early death: John (c 1617), Martha (c 1619) and a son (1621-????).

Second Generation

John Ford was born in England ca 1617. He either died or left Plymouth Colony sometime between 5 Jan 1640/1 and the 1643 Able to Bear Arms list. He was not known to have married so there is no known surviving Y-DNA lineage for this family.
