      Story of John J. Ford
      Posted 26 May 2012 by RLwalt23

      History of Clay and Platte Counties, Missouri, Page 852:

      “Mr. Ford has been a resident of Platte county all his life, or for a period of nearly 42 years, his birth having occurred here August 2, 1848. During this time he has been actively and successfully engaged in tilling the soil - his chosen life occupation - and has done a good share in endeavoring to promote the agricultural interests of the county. Unassuming and quiet in his manner, but possessed of great energy and determination, his efforts in this direction have not been without material benefit. His parents were Samuel and Margaret (Higgins) Ford, who came to this county in 1838, mention of whom is made more fully in the sketch of the eldest son and brother, Josiah P. Ford, given elsewhere.

      Up to the age of 18 years John J. passed his days as the lives of most boys of the neighborhood were spent. In 1861, under Gov. Jackson’s call for troops to suppress Northern invasion, he became a member of the Home Guard, and when those troops were disbanded he entered the regular Confederate service, Shelby’s brigade, as private. He was three times promoted, finally becoming first lieutenant, and served until the close of the war, being discharged on the Brazos river, in Texas, though he did not surrender until reaching Shreveport. The military career of Mr. Ford is one of which he has just reason to be proud, and one that reflects only credit upon him for the bravery and gallantry displayed on more that one field of action.

      Returning to Platte county, he was married here to Miss Maticia Mooneyham, January 2, 1868, a daughter of Joseph and Eliza Mooneyham. She was born and reared in this county, on the farm where she now resides. There were seven children born of this marriage: Katie, Joseph, Samuel, James H., Charles, Arch A. and Nora. After his marriage, Mr. Ford removed to the farm which he occupies at this time, purchasing the interests of the other heirs in 1872. The place embraces 220 acres, all fenced and well adapted for farming purposes. He and his wife are members of the Christian Church, and both are highly esteemed in this community for their genuine worth and true, neighborly qualities.”
