    • "After receiving his license and entering a medical practice, he met a young girl named Mary DAVIS. They were married and became the parents of twins a year later, a boy and a girl. The marriage gradually fell apart and they were divorced shortly before Ford's twenty-first birthday. Leaving his daughter, Fannie, behind with his parents, Ford set out for Texas." Noble, Harry SAN AUGUSTINE TRIBUNE Thursday, October 30, 2003 "John Salmon (Rip) Ford "A New Resident" Carolyn Bausinger emailed, in June 2012, "Truth is that they were not married until 1835 and either she went with John Ford to TX or followed later. And their children were born there. And he did not leave Fannie behind with his parents. She came home with her mother. Fannie was 9 at the time the 1850 census was taken, and she was with her mother and aunt and uncle and their family, not with the Fords. Probably the later sanitized version sounded better than the truth in later years."
