Biographical History
Attorney and politician. Born in Morristown, N.J., Ford served in the Continental Army in his youth and later studied law in New York. In 1785 he moved to Charleston, S.C. and established a law practice with his brother-in-law Henry W. DeSaussure. Their law firm trained many South Carolinians for law careers, including John C. Calhoun. Ford owned plantations and served in the S.C. legislature. In 1793 Ford married Sarah Amelia DeSaussure. Their only child, Charlotte Matilda Ford, married Dr. Edmund Ravenel (1797-1871). After his first wife's death Ford married Mary Magdalen Prioleau; they had two children: Louisa Catherine Ford (who also married Dr. Edmund Ravenel) and Mary Theodosia Ford.
