Henry Ford's father, William, was born in Ballinascarthy, County Cork, Ireland, in 1826. When the Great Famine struck in 1847, the Fords migrated to the United States and settled near Dearborn, Michigan, where Henry was born in 1863. Ballinascarthy commemorated its place in Ford family history when the community unveiled a stainless steel Model T monument in 2000.
