Shelly, Thank you very much for the inormation:
It sure looks like what I was looking for:
(I was evedently given the wrong information).
If uou look at
Bransford it could have been
"Brans
Ford Ryherd" or "Brance
Ford Ryherd".
Just something to look at. The Census takers wrote down
names like they sounded to them.
According to the information that I was given, he died in
1903
Sullivan,
Moultrie Co., IL., and burried in the
Mt. Zion Cemetery. (?)
If he was born a
Ford he could have been adoped by U.
Grant Ryherd; and given the Ryherd name.(?)
He supposly had a sister Maletha/Letha
Ford b. 1880
in
Monroe Co., KY.
Mary
Ford married
Ulysses Simpson "
Grant" Ryherd
July 30, 1889 so
Bransford was born about 6 years befor
the marred.
Any thoughts?
Thanks again
Harold
