I'm trying to sort out the several William FORDs mentioned in the VRs of Marshfield.
1. Which William Ford was the father of Bathsheba, b. 3 Feb 1680 and d. 12 March 1680-81? (vol. I, p. 9)
2. Which William Ford was called Deacon Ford?
3. Who were the parents and/or spouse of the William Foord who d. 22 Dec. 1761? (Marshfield, vol. II)
4. Are the Williams listed as fathers below all the same man?

A. William the son of William ford Jur & Eilina his wife was born September ye 1696. (vol. I, p. 18)

B. Samuell the son of William Foord and Elizabeth his wife was borne May the 11: 1701. (vol I, p. 40)

C. Elizabeth the Daughter of William fford Junr and Elizabeth his wife was [b]orne ffebrary the 27: 1703 (vol I, p. 26)

I believe they likely are the same man, and that William Jr. was the son of Michael Ford, so the "Junior" was to distinguish him from some other William Ford...or do I have this all wrong?

Any help/advice appreciated. I have many more details and a few more questions.
