Biography

Ruby Ford was born on 24 November 1913 in Nicholas Co, WV; daughter of Homer Dickinson and Martha Helen (Burgess) Ford. Her Social Security death record shows a 1914 birth year, as well as public record information given later in her life, but the West Virginia birth record says 1913 and the 1920 federal census, taken in January, shows her age 7, consistent with 1913. She married William Raymond "Billie" Copenhaver son of Roma Hayward Copenhaver and Sarah E. "Sallie" Petty, after April 1950; no surviving children. Ruby Ford died on 4 May 2008 in Kanawha Co., WV.

Pedigree Link

Biography

Cora A. Petty was born about 1868 in Roane Co, WV; this was either a first child born early in the marriage who died before the 1880 census, or else this was Rowland's niece Cora Alice Petty, daughter of his older brother William P. Roland, born in OCT 1868 and died in 1944, married to Harley Demming Wells and buried at Spencer Memorial Cemetery, Spencer, WV. The William and Melissa (Goff) Petty family are not found listed in the 1870 census, so it is not possible to be certain of this Cora's parents. However, Carrie Mable Petty's reported birth date of 8 JAN 1869 strongly suggests she did not have a sibling born in mid- or late-1868. DLB 2026.1
