Ford entered upon an apprenticeship with a jeweler, served five years, and
then started in business on his own account; he was also a tobacco inspector
at Lynchburg for several years.  In 1853 he removed to Ironton, Ohio, and
engaged in the jewelry trade, and October 18, 1854, came to Catlettsburg,
Ky., where he has since been doing a very successful business.  July 25,
1852, he married Miss Sallie Wood, a native of Campbell County, Va., and to
this union one child has been born, Glenmore T., May 6, 1857.  Mr. Ford is a
