Seems the Fords had a 4th brother, George M. Ford (1835 - 1888)who died in Baltimore and is buried in Loudan Park Cemetery there with the parents and two of his brothers. Does anyone know anything about him?

There were seven Ford siblings, children of Elias and Anna Ford: Thomas, the eldest, then Charles E., John T., George, Anna L., James Richard, then Harry Clay. I didn't pursue the bios of the siblings who weren't connected with any of the Ford's Theatres, though.

Thanks Tom, I did not think to ask you first before posting and of course you would have tha answer.
BTW if anyone wants to know anything about anyone associated with Fords the night Lincoln was shot, I highly recommend Tom's book "Backstage at Fords."

You are spot on, Rich. Tom did a terrific job.
