“In 1840 Lloyd [Ford, Jr.] was listed in the Washington County, TN, Census. [In] 1840 Lloyd was listed as a Revolutionary War Pensioner from the 5th Regiment, Eastern Division. Age 83. Loyd is mentioned as a member Capt. Benjamin TALBOTT's Company of the Baltimore County Militia on 31 May 1779 the same day that he gave his "Oath of Allegiance" to the colonial cause. He is described in this oath as "Lloyd FOARD JR." His father had given his oath the previous year. After the Revolution he and Mary joined his family and her sisters family in what is now the Washington County/Sullivan County, Tennessee area. There are no surviving deeds involving Loyd as either a grantor or grantee, however the Washington County Tax Lists indicate that he owned land on Sinking Creek. This property appears to have been part of his fathers Oct 1783 land grant since platte maps made of several tracts of land sold by his sons in the late 1840's and early 1850's correspond to portions of one made from the boundaries given in the original grant. How Loyd obtained this land is hard to say. Perhaps his father [Loyd Ford Sr.] sold it to him for a token amount similar to the deeds made to Loyd's brothers James and John. He was referred to as Loyd FORD JR until his father's death about 1816 and after that time as Loyd FORD SR. Loyd died 18 Nov 1843 and was buried near Grey's Station in Washington County. His tombstone there bares only the initials L. F."
