Lemuel Ford served as First Sergeant during the war of 1812. He was taken prisoner by the British with his company in the battle of Fort Meigs. He was later freed, but made to run the gauntlet for his life and was badly beaten. He came to Indiana Territory in 1816, settling near Charlestown, Indiana, where he freed all of his slaves. He served as Justice of the Peace for Clark County in 1817 and 1822, was appointed Postmaster in 1823 and served until 1830. He was made Probate Judge in 1829. He was commissioned Captain of Mounted Rangers 16 Jun 1832, and participated in the Black Hawk wars. In 1833, he was commissioned Captain of the First Dragoons, serving under Col. Henry Dodge. The march of the Dragoons was unique, in that they held councils with many Indian tribes along the Platte and Arkansas rivers without having any hostile encounters with them. He kept a day-by-day diary during their trek through the Rocky Mountains in 1835. He returned to Indiana in 1836, and resigned from the army in 1837. He served as Associate Judge for seven years. In 1847, he once again accepted a commission of Captain in the Dragoons, and served in the Mexican War under Gen. Scott. He was promoted to Brevet Major for gallant conduct in the battle of Atlixco, Mex. He went into Mexico City, but because of wounds he soon resigned and returned home.
In 1849 he was made the first Warden of the Indiana Reformatory at Jeffersonville. During his duties there he and his wife both contracted cholera, and died on the same day.
