  James (Jacque Faure) Ford James3 Ford [Sr.] (Pierre (Peter)2 Faure, Daniel Isaac1) was born in Manakin Town, Virginia circa 1708.(37) James died circa 1810 in Buckingham Co., Virginia.(38) According to a tax list that can be found in the Virginia State Library, James Ford Sr. was recorded as living in the home of Stephen Ford of Buckingham Co., Virginia, in his old age.(39) Therefore, it is believed that he died in Buckingham Co. He married Elizabeth Ann Bondurant before 1730.(40) Grinnell, in his manuscript, states marriage date of 1734. However, their first born was born 2 September 1730, according to the Volume of Genealogical Records dedicated to Juanita Chisholm by the Tennessee Branch of the Huguenot Society which also gives a marriage date of before 1730. Elizabeth was born circa 1714 in Manakin Town, Virginia.(41) Elizabeth was the daughter of Jean Pierre (John Peter) Bondurant and Ann Faure L' Orange. James Ford fought under George Washington in Washington's first military engagement at the Battle of Great Meadows which is in that part of the Ohio Valley that is now in Pennsylvania. James was wounded in the eye with a musket ball and in 1770 was awarded a pension by the House of Burgesses. From DAR file folder for James Ford Jr. we find the following information on James Ford Sr. -- French & Indian War 1754: "In the Journals of the House of Burgesses of Virginia 1770-1772, page 31, we find the following: Tuesday the 29th of May to George III 1770, A petition of James Ford was presented to the house and read; "setting forth, that the petitioner being in the service of the Colony, at the Battle of the Meadows in the year 1754, received a wound in his right eye, by a musket ball which deprived him of sight thereof and that he is growing old, and become week [sic] and therefore praying the House to take his condition into consideration and grant relief. Ordered, that the said petition be referred to the consideration of the Committee of Public Claims; and that they do examine the matter thereof, and report the same, with their opinion thereupon to the House." -- Page 49, Wed. the 6th of June to George III 1770. Resolved, that it is of the opinion of this Committee, that the Petition of James Ford, late a soldier in the service of the Colony, under the command of Col. Washington, is reasonable; and that he ought to be allowed the sum of five pounds for his present relief; and the future sum of five pounds per annum during his live in consideration of the would he received at the Battle of the Meadows and his being thereby rendered incapable of getting necessary substance."
