Looking for the relatives (Parents & Siblings) of Alonzo B. FORD, my GGG
Grandfather, b. 1821 in Cabell Co. (?), VA. First find him in Cabell in the
1844 Personal Property Tax (PPT) listings and next in Kanawha Co., VA in 1847
in the PPT listings. He gets married in Kanawha to Susan FERGUSON (first she
was married to a Dr. LEWIS and lived in Indiana and had two Children with
him) in 1848.

Alonzo was identified in the Census records as a Boatsman. He and Susan died
in Charleston, WV in Kanawha Co., WV in 1901/1900. They appeared in the 1850,
1860, 1870, 1880 and 1900 Censuses for VA/WV. They had many Children (Among
them Richard, a Boatsman, and Susan, my GG Grandmother b. 1857 in Kanawha). I
believe Susan FERGUSON and Alonzo FORD were born in Cabell close to the
Kanawha Co. line (the part that became Putnam Co., VA in 1847), as there are
a lot of FORDs and FERGUSONs there and at least one Richard FORD.

Thank you. Julius (Tim) E. Spradling, III
