[1372] Excerpt from Runk: Biographical Encyclopedia 1899 State of Delaware.

"It appears certain after the most careful researches, that Presley Ford was born in what was denominated "the forest," near Kenton, Kent Co. He had no opportunities for obtaining a good education, but he had natural ability of a high order, was untiring and aggressive in business, and became a wealthy man for his times. The farm on which he resided in his latter years is now owned by his sons, William H, Ford and Presley Ford. Mr Ford was never an office seeker and never held office. Presley Ford died upon his farm; his widow survived him several years. Mr Ford was an attendant upon the services of the M. E. church, and a liberal contributor to its treasury."

He mentions in his will the children of Colmar Ford charged to Presley [orphans of a brother?] He signed his will Aug 21 1869.
