Jerry:
Thank you very much for the information. This part of the the information does match most of what I have. The Lee you were referring to, I believe it was his sister and their was another Dewey that belonged to that sister in Richmond. I know Dewey lived in Richmond with his mother his entire life. So has name would have been Dewey Lee. My mother was Virginia Bertell. Married to Yuhal. Both are now deceased. The only one alive is Evonne Hull (aunt) who his dementia.
Thank You,
Keith Dixon

Keith,
I found Arthur A. Ford, age 38, in the 1920 Census for Thayer, Fayette, West Virginia living with his wife Laura, age 25, and children Lorena, 7, John, 5, and Fred, 4. They were living with his in-laws, Andy and Rosie Moss, both 56 yrs. of age. (from Ancestry.com) I also found a WWII draft card which showed his date of birth as 22 Feb 1882 in Prince Edward, Virginia. The draft card listed a Mrs. Lee in Richmond, VA as a contact who would know where he was living. A public family tree I found on Ancestry.com lists Arthur Alphus Ford although his draft card show his middle name as Alfus. He did not sign the card, made his mark, so maybe whoever filled out the card spelled it wrong. This tree also listed wife Laura Virginia Moss, b. 3 Oct 1891 Second Creek, WVA, d. 15 Nov 1987 Fayette, WVA. Says they married 4 May 1912. Children listed are:
Lorena B. Ford, 22 May 1913 - 22 Jun 2004. married Chalmers Boggs.
Alfred Dewey Ford, 9 Jun 1915 - 22 Dec 1988. married Nellie Toombs.
Fred Wilson Ford, 26 Jan 1917 - May 1966.
Irene Elizabeth Ford, 10 May 1920 - 27 Sep 1966. married Ray M. Adkins, 1916-2002.
Virginia Bertell Ford, 8 Aug 1922 - 14 Feb 2009. married Yuhal Dixon.
also listed three living children. From an obit listed with the tree these may be Dorothy Dixon, Evonne Hoyle, and George Ford. The tree did not include his father nor mother.
I could not find a Peter nor Paul Ford in any census for Virginia around 1860-1870. I wonder if Alfred Dewey Ford is the Dewey Ford you say was a nephew?
Hope this may help you fill in some blanks.

I have only been able to bet information from my mother who has now passed away. She never met her grandparents on her father's side because they were dead before she was born. She only could go by what he would talk about. I know he was the only boy in the family of six or seven and I believe he was the baby. My mother was raised in what you would call the sticks and I mean sticks. There is only one member left in the family and she was much younger than my mother and she has dementia. My grandfather married Laura Moss around 1912 daughter of Andrew and Rosa Moss. My grandmother was born in Staunton, VA around 1891. My grandfather died in Dec 1961 in WV from dementia. Then complete contact with his family was lost because his sisters married people with different last names. I do know he had strong ties to the Richmond area and had a nephew by the name of Dewey who made the newpapers in Richmond for going to the movies for
50 years without missing one. So they give him a life time pass. I have no census, death, or marriage on anyone else. Thank you Sue.
Sincerely,
Keith Dixon
