"7. ANDREW3 FORD (Andrew,2 Andrew1 ), born probably at Ford's Farm about 1682, died in Abington 12 may 1750, buried in the Mt. Vernon Cemetery, North Abington.
He married first, in Bridgewater, 27. Nov. 1706, MERCY WHITMARSH, born probably in Weymouth about 1682, died in Abington, 4 Feb. 1737/8, buried in the Mt. Vernon Cemetery, daughter of Ebenezer3 and Christian3 (Bayley) Whitmarsh; and secondly, 31 Aug. 1738, ALICE WHITMARSH, born in Weymouth 14 Nov. 1695, died, a widow, in Abington, probably a daughter of Simon2 and Elizabeth (Bicknell) Whitmarsh.
