Runk, "History of Delaware" published in 1899
"Anderson, second son of Presley ford, resided near Kenton until he was five years old, when his parents removed to the farm in Barren Hope, Kent county, now owned by Jesse Vane. He began his education in the old Severson's schoolhouse. There were few attractions there to give an impetus to the pupil in his work; the building was of logs, destitute of comforts, and the teachers were seldom competent, yet young Ford left that school with a fair mental equipment for the duties of his later life. He continued there as a pupil until he was twenty-two years old, because he had time to attend during the winter months only. When he was eight years of age, he was set into the field to work, and guided the plow through the sandy soil of the farm when he was able to take hold of the handles only by stretching his arms on a level with his head. He remained with his father until he was twenty-seven. After his marriage he settled on his present farm of 120 acres, which he leased from his father, and received as an inheritance on the death of the latter. Mr. Ford is a citizen of much worth and is appreciated in his community. He is an ardent Democrat. Mr Ford is a member of Severson's M. E. church."
