Please send a regular email for further discussion. I don't like chat-room communications.

You probably note that one Lewis H. Ford is listed with some other Ford people in the 1860 census (below). I cannot tell if this Lewis is the same as Lewis A. Ford mentioned in a NYT article in 1864 on the Parkville raid by Thornton, nor can I tell if he is related to Pleasant Thomas Ford. Do you have that article? It's on the web if you google Thornton. Both Lewis A. Ford and Pleasant Thomas Ford were in Co C of the 82nd EMM. The 1850 census for P.T.'s family does not show a Lewis Ford. I am confused that a Pleasant Thomas Ford is shown with Lewis H. Ford in the 1960s census. P.T.'s age is 10 years difference in both censuses which further confuses the situation for me. The other apparent siblings in the 1860 census are not the same as in the 1850 census. Other Ford characters are involved, too. I have the interrogation record for P.T. Ford in the Gratiot St Prison in St. Louis but cannot remember who sent it to me. P.T. Ford is a 1st cousin, 4 times removed. His 1st cousin, Pleasant Lafayette Ford, is my GGGF. He was also captured and interrogated at Gratiot St. Prison and I have that interrogation record, too.
