Family folklore says that our branch of
Fords supposedly came originally from County
Cork, Ireland. It also says that
Ford Street in Maumee was named after this family. I am fuzzy on the fathers name but mothers name was Margaret. Two of the daughters were Margaret and
Lilly (not sure if this was short for something). This would be around the turn of the century time frame. Daughter Margaret married a man named
Benton. She was rumored to have been born in
Cook Co., IL but we cannot find any proof.
Help? Any of this sound remotely familiar to any
Fords out there?
Thanks, Jacki
