Ford's biological father was Leslie Lynch King, Sr. (July 25, 1884 -Feb 18, 1941)

His mother was Dorothy Ayer Gardner (Feb 27, 1892 - Sept 17, 1967).

Gerald's birth name was Leslie Lynch King, Jr.

Ford's parents divorced 5 months after he was born. King had a history of hitting his wife and therefore Ford's mom received full custody of her son.

Gerald Ford's stepfather and namesake was

Gerald Rudolf Ford, Sr.(Dec 9.1890- Jan 26, 1962) He married Dorothy in 1916 when Ford was 2 and adopted him as a son.
Leslie Lynch King and Dorothy Ayer Gardner, they were married on September 7, 1912 at Harvard, Illinois.
