    "3. Thomas Ford was born on 14 February 1656 in Milford. He appears in his grandfather Knowles's will; he is alive in 1712 [his widow had remarried prior to 1697]. Thomas appears in Abbott, Milford, under his father. Thomas Ford, without a separate article. Whether this younger Thomas Ford had children is not clear from the article; very possibly, he had none [had son John, who died in infancy]."

    "… Thomas Ford, b. at Milford, 14 Feb. 1756/7, d. prob. at Boston after 8 June 1692, son of Thomas and Elizabeth (Knowles) Ford; … On 17 May 1694, 'Mehitabell fford' of Boston, widow & relict of Thomas Ford late of Boston & Executrix of his will, conveyed to John Ford of Milford, 'All that part of the whole houses and lands … in Milford aforesd which was given and bequeathed by Thomas fford fformerly of said Milford deceased unto his son the said Thomas fford late of Boston' and by him bequeathed by his will dated 8 June 1692 unto 'the said Mehitabell fford' [Milford Deeds, vol. 3, p. 136]. It seems clear from this that she had no surviving Ford children."
