Will of John Ford of Norwich proved March 13, 1753. Norwich Land Records, Vol. XIII, p. 164; dated 1750, states the following: 'Ann Ford, widow of John Ford had sons John, Phineas, and William.' (Think John and Phineas were stepsons, children of Judith Richards, the second wife.)
In 1756 John Ford of Nine Partners, and Phineas and William Ford of Norwich had by will the farm of their father, John Ford of Norwich."
