I am new at researching my family so I can use any help offered. I am trying to find the parents of my gg grandfather, Jacob K. Ford or Foard. He was born abt 1839 in Indiana. I only know that his father was born in NC and his mother in Ohio. He was married to Martha Tipton in 1862 in Il. Some of his children were born in Il and some in In. He died in Michigan in 1887. I can't find him in the 1860 or 1870 census. I'm pretty much at a dead end and would appreciaate and help given. Thank you in advance. Email me at
