THE FAMILY OF DEACON WILLIAM FORD


William Ford was born in Olave Parish, Southwark, Surrey, England in 1604. His wife, Anna Earnes was born in 1606 and they were married in 1632 in Marshfield, Plymouth, Massachusetts. They had the following children, all born in Massachusetts:

1633 William
1637 Margaret
1637 Michael
1637 Millicent, our ancestor
1641 Jeanna
It appears that Margaret, Michael, and Millicent may have been triplets!

William, a miller, established Danham Mill in 1640, which was located near Brown's Blacksmith Shop in Plymouth.

 His will is dated 12 Sep 1672, leaving his wife and family all his assets.
