Ten children were born to them, but the author, Ms. Ford, only had information about Lee, Joseph, John and Tom.

Notes from http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Troy/3869/FORD.html - "Estate recorded in Benton County, Arkansas April 15, 1867 for Richard Ford. It lists his heirs as: Rebecca Caroline [?], nee: Sawyer, Mary "Polly" Ruddick, nee: Ford, Nancy Jane Ford, nee: Marshall, Ivan Ford, George Winchester Ford. And is signed by John Henry Ford. Strangly Jefferson Tilton Ford is not mentioned in the estate; he was Richard's son and Mary "Polly" Ruddick's husband, and he did not pass away until 1882 in Benton County???????. Speculation I think my gg-grandfather divorced his wife Mary "Polly" Ruddick [my gg-grandmother] and took up with Roberta Virginia Howett??? I think this probable angered my ggg-grandfather Richard Ford and to insure the estate for his grandson; William Franklin Ford. He left a share of the estate to his daughter-in-law; Mary "Polly" Ruddick". (note by Janice Mauldin Castleman: John Henry Jackson Ford was Richard's son....is this the John Henry Ford who signed the document?)
