| Notes |
- Ref: "Genealogy of the Hord Family" by Rev. Arnold Harris Hord, 1898
States: Willis 4 (William' 5 , William 2 , John 1 ), born April 17,
1769, and married Polly Buckner, daughter of Captain
Philip Buckner and Tabby Daniels. Polly Buckner was
born February 16, 1778. They were married January 2,
1703.
Willis Ilord was the first clerk of the court of Bracken
County, Kentucky. He was a man of wide influence and
high standing, a true type of the early Kentuckian, strong
intellectually and physically, who has left the impress of
his strong personality upon the society and civilization
which he founded. He moved to Jefferson County, Ken-
tucky, and from Jefferson County to Carter County, and set-
tled on Little Sandy River in 1816. He was thrown from
his carriage while on a visit to Jefferson County, on Sep-
tember 28, 1828, and was buried at Middletown, Jefferson
County. His widow lived and reared her family on Little
Sandy River. The crossing of the river has always been
known as " Hord's Ford." She was a proud, aristocratic
woman. She lived to be eighty-seven years old. Her eye-
sight and all her faculties were perfect to the day of her
death.
