Individual:
From Goodspeed's Histories of NW Arkansas, page 835-6: John H. Ford is one of the oldest native residents and farmers of Benton County, Arkansas, and was born in 1835. His early educational advantages were exceedingly limited, owing to the fact that there were no schools in the county until he was almost grown, and he then picked up what education he could. In 1853 he lost his father, and he was compelled to work very hard in order to support his mother and her younger children. In 1862 he enlisted in the Federal army, in Company F, 72nd AR Regiment, and after serving eleven months went to Springfield, MO., where he remained until the close of the war. He was in a number of battles and skirmishes, but was so fortunate as to escape without being wounded. He has been engaged in Farming all his life, and is now the owner of 240 acres of land, a portion of which he inherited from his father and the rest he had homesteaded. This is one of the most desirable farms in the county, and is under fine cultivation. In 1859 he was married to Miss Elizabeth Lee, who is a native of Benton County, and by her became the father of ten children, eight of whom are living: James A.; Mary A., wife of G. W. Reddeck; Polly, wife of T. L. Howell; John W.; Delilah; Lee; Joe; and Tom. Mr. Ford is a member of the Masonic fraternity, and in his political views supports the principles of the Republican party. His father, Richard Ford, was born in NC, and was a farmer by occupation. He came to Arkansas in 1834, the country abounding in wild game of all kinds at that time. It was a common occurrence to shoot a deer near the door or a wild turkey in a tree in the yard. Panthers and bears were also numerous, and as there were very few settlements at that time, but little attention was given to farming, the most of the settler's time being spent in hunting. The father was one of the first grand jurors of Benton County, and died in 1853. His wife's maiden name was Isabella Logan.
In Benton Co., AR Obits, page 321, J. H. Ford (Probate Court) Estate of J. H. Ford, dec'd, homestead vested in widow, E. Ford, together with all personal and real property (Benton Co. Democrat 2/11/97) and (Probate Court) Estate of J. H. Ford, dec'd, G. W. Ruddick appointed adm'r. (Benton County Democrat 8/5/97).
From a tree in Ancestry.com called "Ford, Haylor, Starbuck, Loop" - "Most of the older folks say they could remember him being mentioned as being nicknamed Jack. The M.W. Grad Lodge of Arkansas - Free Masons shows a J.H. ford in 1871 on their roll. ea Ridge Lodge No. 119. According to Beulah Ford Cunningham - John H. was a "Bushwhacker" during the civil war."
