(Calender of Maryland State papers- The Black Book)

Before 1721; Scotch Prisoners taken at Preston, England. To the Gov. (Charles Calvert) and Council.

The prisoners, being confined in Liverpool were advised to petition the King for pardon; some merchants hearing of the King's intended clemency got an order whereby they hurried the prisoners off to sea; the prisoners did not sign any indentures; they consider that after their transportation they could not by any lawful means be made prisoners against their consent; yet, though they have served their masters five years according to the Acts of Assembly limiting the period of indenture services, their masters refuse to discharge them; they prey the King' speech to Parliament on May 6, 1717 and his pardon thereupon may be considered and hope that they may be liberated from servitude.

On verso; August 3, 1721, the Upper House decrees that the prisoners are to serve seven years according to the condition of their transportation.

1721, Aug. 3; To the Masters of Scotch prisoners who have petitioned for freedom. The servant's petition for freedom has been rejected, but the master is notified not to treat him ill because of his absence on the occasion. One of the names appearing beneath the message M J Lloyd, James Hill, David (?) Mackey, John McBeane, John Ford, Robert Hynderson, Edward Penn, Mary Bythe,

To Gov. Horatio Sharpe and Upper and Lower Houses of Assemble. from; The Inhabitants of Baltimore County.

Dairy of Flavil Ford During World War 11

I was with the 868 Heavy Bombardment Squadron. 13^th. Air Force We were a radar outfit and did our bombing by radar mostly submarines at night, flying B-24 (Liberators) bombers because they were taking a heavy toll of our shipping and this was the only way of finding them and stopping them. Our name was "'Snooper". I was a radar technician and a sergeant. We participated in the battle of Guadalcanal, North Solomons, Bismark Archipelago, East Mandates, West Pacific, New Guinea, Borneo, South Phillipines, China, Japan, Munda, Los Negros, Noemfoor, Morotai, Leyte and Okinawa. We were awarded the Presidential Unit Citation and lots of purple hearts and a lot of good men never came back. We weren't suppose to keep a diary and this is the only one I kept and it is on our move by LST from Layte to Okinawa, landing in Okinawa July 30, 1945.

JULY 30, 1945

Today we landed in a little harbor off to one side of Okinawa and hoped the Japs wouldn't find us. On about the last six days we have been on our way by LST from Layte. The first few days the sea was as smooth as silk so didn't do much except ride and enjoy that wonderful navy chow, all good things must end sooner or later.

We ran into a Jap sub. He sank one of the ships in our convoy. We picked up three of our men and didn't get the sub. After that, everyone began to look around for life preservers There weren't enough to go around and of course, I didn't get one. We had all our squadron equipment above , the ships and about 400 men. Every inch of space was taken.

Next day the sea got rough and stayed rough for the rest of the trip. The guys who had never been on a ship before got sick and the rest of us didn't feel too goods. My guts tried to tear loose because the ship bounced around so hard but they didn't come apart. That night the Japs came over and dropped some bombs on the air strip and all our ships lay down a smoke screen and we liked to choked to death. Some of the guys woke up, thought it was gas and what a run for gas masks.

JULY 31, 1945

We lay out in the harbor all day waiting for orders to move in and unload, but didn't get them. That night we had a show and every inch on the weather deck was taken by trucks and jeeps. It was funny to see 400 men sitting all over them watching the show. The Japs came over right in the middle of the picture. Up went the smoke screen again. We had five raids that night but none came close enough to shoot at. We never did get to see the rest of the show.

AUGUST 1,1945

This afternoon we got orders to move in and unload. So we moved around the island to the airstrip. The Japs were bombing and some hit the beach. I was a special guard and the first man to hit the beach. I sure was a pretty guard in nothing but a sun helmet, shoes, a pair of ragged cut off paints, rifle and eight days growth of beard. It isn't hard to see why they call this the bloodiest battle ground in history.

All of the men, except sixty left to unload, of which I was one, went ashore to set up camp. I was glad to stay and keep eating that wonderful navy chow. It sure was better than what we had in our camp.

The sixty were spilt into two shifts and worked four hours on and four off. I was a Sgt. Over one group.

The guys setting up camp had to pile up dead Japs and burn them. Guess I had the best job. We sleep up behind the wheel house and while my shift was asleep orders came to get off. A Typhoon was coming and before I could get to the ramp the ship broke loose and blew out to sea, and had to ride out the typhoon.

Several hundred of all kinds did the same, ships as far as you could see in all directions! I wished I was on anything but a LST. It's bottom is round, draws 6ft. of water, an only weights 3000 tons. It bobs around like a cork. No one sleep that night, we were in the China Sea heading into the wind, straight toward Japan. We went in that direction all night and was the roughest ride I've ever had. We rolled better than 45 degrees and the gun whale would go under water. Dishes were flying against the wall in the kitchen and trucks on the tank deck were sliding around. If a truck had got loose, it would probably have sank us. This baby would run up a wave then subside leaving us in mid air. We would fall back to the water with back breaking jar. You could bending and twisting and would wonder how long it would be before it would break into. It was so dark you could not see your hand before you. We felt safe because we could see the other ships around us on "Good Old Radar". Radar kept us from hitting the reef in the dark.

August 2, 1945

By morning the wind had subsided enough so we headed back to Okinawi wondering how close we were to Japan. Yesterday and last night seem to be a good way not to get old.

Later in the morning our radar picked up a mind in our path.(That makes three times radar has saved us, makes me proud I'm a radar man) We made several passes shooting at the mind but the sea was so rough we couldn't hit it. We took its position and will send a mind sweeper after it.

This LST is equipped for hospital and will take out wounded from Okinawi after we unload. The food is good and I'm making good use of it and believe I'm getting fat. Sure could use some fat on these bones, sure would love to put my feet under Geneva's table. Don't want to think about that....

We had been riding rough seas all day and tonight the rend had picked up to over seventy miles per hour, so back toward Japan we go. I know Nean doesn't understand why I don't write more often but as long as I can keep her thinking I'm in a safe place I can take the rough going here. At times like this it is impossible to write and I couldn't mail it anyway. When I get back on land I'll write a nice letter and say I was too busy to write. I guess she must know there is more to this busy stuff than I'm telling.

I haven't been a bit seasick , I feel good and its funny that I never get scared and haven't for a long time, guess after a while you get feeling the war will never end when you have a close call, you think to die would be the end of the war for you.

August 3, 1945 The sea was really rough last night, so I sat my bunk in the tank deck but couldn't stay in it so I laid on my stomach and locked my arms under it, but the bunk was sliding all over the place, so I tied it to the wall but didn't sleep any and wondered if I could take it. And I did but a little sore from all the rolling and pitching. The typhoon ended this morning so we headed back and got back late afternoon. We dropped anchor in the bay. Guess we will start unloading the rest tomorrow. We had unloaded about half when the storm hit and were lucky because some of the LST's that still had their load turned over and were lost. All of our top deck was empty but we had a lot of heavy equipment in the tank deck, which was good. Well, the boat is laying still now and boy am I going to do some sleeping if I can but this clear weather means more air raids and we are at the place they have been hitting.

August 4, 1945

We pulled up and tied up early this morning and started unloading like hell. We got it all off by 4PM and went out to camp for the first time. Signs of hard fighting were everywhere and the Japs sure were ready and had every inch of the Island a fort and our boys sure have tore things up. I couldn't believe it would be possible to tear things up this bad. Our camp is in a pretty bad place with mud shoe top high and right in the middle of a Okinawa grave yard. There are big open tombs all around and you can look in and see bones in big earthen jars and dead Japs laying around. Not much left except hair and bones. The men had to move and burn them before they could set up camp. I was lucky and missed that job. There are a lot more dead outside the camp and it doesn't smell very good around here. Tonight I have my tin helmet and gas mast close by because the Japs are sure to come over tonight and we are in a bad spot and not a fox whole anywhere yet.

August 5, 1945

My boy is two years old today and it seems like ever since I saw him and the ways things are going it might be a lot longer . I know we have beaten the Japs back to Japan but taking Japan will be something else. I believe they will all die and most of us before we take it.

I'm in charge of building a mess hall. Didn't have much to eat and am hungry tonight. Supplies are short. This morning at 2 AM four Jap planes at about 3500 feet but didn't drop anything that I know, and we didn't get any of them although we were using radar control 90's. They kept us awake until 4 AM. These nuisance raids sure play hell with your rest. No mail again today.

August 6, 1945

Still on the mess hall, first mess we've had so the war must be about over. Anyway, the guys that take our place won't have to eat in the mud. Two of our planes went on strike tonight and we had another nuisance raid that lasted 2 to 4 AM. I saw one plane and don't know what was over rest of the Island. Wish they would give us time to dig fox holes .On three sides of us are three air strips and in front is a big harbor with several hundred ships. No mail again today and I'm in no mood to write. They tell us what we can write and it amounts to nothing, can't even date our letters. Gee, am I hungry! I give my eye sight to have Nean get me a peanut butter sandwich and a glass of milk. We had a spoon of maccaroni mixed with tomato sauce and black coffee for supper tonight and the way they mess it up the devil couldn't eat it. So I had a cup of warm water and a cigarette for supper.

August 7, 1945

Worked on the camp all day today and mad at the whole world tonight. The Japs kept us up from 2 to 4 AM again this morning. They tried to land some parachute troops but didn't make it alive. This is not a very safe place to be and you better carry a flashlight and stay on the main road or get shot by a guard because there are plenty live Japs around.

Went to the CB's show but had seen the picture so came back to camp. One of our planes didn't come back last night. We think it ran into a mountain. No mail today.

August 8, 1945

Started working on camp again this morning but they wanted to fly 646's. So Mack and I went to the line to check out equipment and set up everything for the mission. Of course we found enough to do to keep us busy until camp was finished.

Had three alerts last night, 9 PM., 12 midnight, and 3 AM. Only saw one plane and think it was shot down. Got off work at 4 PM and spent the rest of the time until dark digging a fox hold. I sure feel like a different man tonight. Got 9 letters today, 7 from Nean, 1 from Ferguson and a paper from Mom. Nean writes the most wonderful letters, makes me ashamed of the letters I write. We have been under a red-green alert since dark. Guess it's a bad IFF.

August 9, 1945

Boy oh boy, We just heard over the radio that the Japs want to give up. My god, this Island went wild! There were so many lights, shooting of tracers and flares and so many search lights that it was almost as bright as day. I've never seen such a sight in all my life. The news isn't official yet but we believe it will be soon. There are several ships in the harbor and did they ever put on a show. Oh Nean! Maybe I'll be with you before long.

I'm Sgt. Of the guard tonight and will sit in the mess hall and listen to the radio all night.

August 10, 1945

Well, the war isn't over yet, but I bet the world it won't be long. The Japs are trying to save face now but they are done for. I expect to have Xmas at home. We had a air raid right in the middle of everything last night, the Japs came within eight miles but turned and got the hell out. All the shooting would scare the day lights out of anyone.

August 11, 1945

The war isn't over yet, but we are sure expecting it and sweating it out. Worked on the line today putting a inverter in nose of a 646. Had a air raid last night but didn't anything fall around here. Six guys got killed Sunday night during that big show. When the end of the war comes, I'll get in my fox hole and stay there.

August 12, 1945

There still a war on and we are still waiting. Worked on 464 again today. Had a alert before dark but don't know what happened.

August 13, 1945

Still fighting today and everything goes on as usual Our plane isn't flying today so I'm working at the area building a mess hall, building forms and so on to pour a concrete floor. They sure getting fancy now that the war is nearly over. Before we ate in mud up to our shoe tops. I'll never understand the army.

August 14 1945

Still at war and looks like there is something they are not telling us. It's 9 PM and we expect something new any minute. The radio will probably run way into the night. At least I got some mail, two from Nean and a paper from Mom. Oh! does Nean write wonderful letters and I wish how much they mean to me. Another alert last night but no bombs here.

August 15, 1945

Well, It's over at last and it sure takes a load off my mind and I feel better tonight than I have for the last year and half. There wasn't any celebration at all. The news came at 8:30 AM and we stopped work long enough to hear it. Another air raid last night.

August 16, 1945

Worked all day pouring concrete for mess hall and talking about going home. I didn't get much work out of the men today, didn't want to anyway. Had another air raid last night.

August 17, 1945

Still building forms and pouring concrete. That sun will get me yet. People back home are having a swell time but over here we are still fighting or just the same as if the war hadn't ended. We're still in danger of bombs and snipers. Guess the Japs out here haven't found out or don't intend to give up. But I can't write things to my folks.

That was the end of the diary writing, spent next week closing camp and shop and getting things done so could leave.

Gone Home

The following stories demonstrating the Ford's family character were among the favorites told by Hovie Ford and recorded by Flavil, his son.

A Ford and another fellow were walking through the woods and a bobcat jumped out of a tree on the Ford's back and the other fellow ran off. Ford fought the bobcat and finally killed it with his bear hands. After a while the other fellow came back and found Ford sitting on the bobcat. "Did you kill it?", he asked. "Yes", said Ford, "and you're next!"

One rainy day the Ford's were playing cards when a man who was suppose to be really bad came in trying to scare the Fords. He took a big 44 and shot it all around the Fords. He pulled out a bottle of whiskey, broke off the neck with the gun barrel, drank it, and began to shoot again. The Fords were still playing cards. Finally, Wash Ford said to the man, " I wish you would stop shooting, You got so much smoke in here I can't see to play cards"

Samuel Ford lived in a log cabin. There was a shed like room at the back called the summer kitchen. The cats would run up the back door of the kitchen to get to the atiic. One night just as a cat made his run for the attic, grandfather opened and the cat ran right up him.

Years ago, Flavil Ford, who worked for Baldwin Corp. was down in southern Kentucky to tune up a organ. He stopped at a little grocery store in Glasgow Ky. When the owner heard his name, he asked If he knew the Fords from Monroe County. He told him his father's name He said he had known Hovie, Tommy, Dow and others. He said you couldn't find any better people but if you messed with them you would be in trouble.

Hovie drove street car most of his life in Louisville, Ky. Another story he told was about a lady who baby's was crying very hard on the street car. Finally, He said to the lady, "I think your baby is spoiled." The lady replied, "Oh!, No!, Mr!. All little babies smell that way"

The man who wrote the Tooterville Trolley Comic Strip was inspired and a lot of his material was picked up from ridding on his route.
