  • Notes 
    • Sallie married Benjamin Ford on 1 May 1871, Benton County, Arkansas, Marriage Book A, page 257. By the 1900 census, Benjamin is married to Susan J. The record says they have been married since age 31 (17yrs) and she has had 5 children with 4 still living. In 1910, he is married to Jane S and has been married 26 years, again 5 children, 4 living. I believe Susan J and Jane S are the same person and that Sarah died before 1900 and her children are probably Elizabeth, Nancy Jane, Eldora and Fannie M. There is then a gap in the children's ages and Mary is born in 1884, 26 years before the 1910 Census that says Benjamin and Jane were married 26 years.
