     The earliest Ford ancestor I've been able to identify is Isaac Faure. The Faures were Huguenot immigrants to Manakin Town, Virginia. From the immigrants have sprung several variations of the spelling of the name, Ford, Fore, and Foree. My connection to this family is through a family that took the name Ford.

     The source for most of this information has been various publications of the Huguenot Society of Manikin Town, Virginia, and a publication Faure Ford Fore Foree of Manakin Town compiled by Larry Ford. Additional information has come from The Maxeys of Virginia, Revised Edition by Edythe Maxey Clark, as well as other records found in the Library of the Daughters of the American Revolution.

     See Charts for my descent from Isaac Faure.
