George Ford, the third son of Preserved, lived near Tabernacle Church on the road from Bear Swamp to Allen's Bridge. His children were Betsy, who married William Goodyear, Mantha, who married Anthony Cribb, Sallie married Benjamin Shooter. William married Naomi Lupo, and after her death he married Lizzie Butler. Nelson married Polly Lupo the first time, and then to Kitty Goodyear. George Ford was born Feb. 14th 1779.

"Some whare about or near the date of 1800, There Lived a man by the name of George Ford who lived in the vicinity of Allins Bridge who raised a Family, 2 Sons and three Girls.
The Sons married too sisters by the name of Lupos. Wm Ford married Neoma and Nelson married Polly. The Girls. Betty married, Wm. Goodyer. Samantha, Anthony Cribb. Sally Benjamine Shooter. All Gone.
(Diary of Rev. Simeon Campbell 1902-1903)
------------------------------------
There was another old Ford, by name of George, who lived just below Tabernacle Church, on the road leading from Bear Swamp to Allen's Bridge, on Little Pee Dee; he was related to those other Fords, at least collaterally; he was a very energetic man and accumulated some property. I never knew much of him; he was not a very old man when he died.
I know that he left two sons, William and Nelson Ford, and know that he had three daughters, if no more, to wit; second wife of William Goodyear, Sr. — her name was Elizabeth; also the wife of the late Benjamin Shooter — her name was Mary; she was the mother of the Shooter family, a numerous family, and among them the gallant Colonel W. P. Shooter, who was killed in the severe battle of Spotsylvania Court House, in May, 1864. A family noted for its gallantry in the war. Colonel Wm. P. Shooter and two of his brothers (names not remembered) fell on the same day and in the same fight.
Another daughter was the wife of Anthony Cribb, and became the mother of our W. T. Cribb and of Dempsy Cribb, Jr.; the latter is dead. W. T. Cribb is a respectable and good citizen, a brave soldier in the struggle for the "Lost Cause," and so was his brother, George T. Cribb. He lost a leg in the contest, and yet lives.
Of the sons of George Ford, William (familiarly called "Little Bill Ford"), as now remembered, married, first, a Miss Lupo; he raised some family by her, the names and number not now known to the writer. "Little Bill Ford" has been dead some years, and perhaps his Butler wife. Nelson Ford lived to an advanced age, eighty or more, has not been dead many years; he was a most excellent man and worthy citizen; he married a Miss Lupo, and raised a family, how many is not known; one of his sons, named Hardy, lives near Nichols, and is a most excellent man and one of our best citizens.
The Ford family, as a whole, were good people, and extend down two or three generations further than herein traced; for the want of information and personal acquaintance, the writer can go no further. They did their duty fully in the war, and demonstrated to their country a patriotism and courage of which the present and coming generations may be proud. Their connections are extensive.
