      Reuben2 Ford (William1 ), born 19 Aug 1742, in , Goochland, Virginia, died 5 Oct 1823, in , Hanover, Virginia. He married Mary Bowles 6 Jan 1770, in , Middlesex, Virginia. She was the daughter of John Bowles and Mary. Mary Bowles was born 21 Sep 1748, in , Middlesex, Virginia, died 13 Feb 1815, in , Hanover, Virginia.

      Richmond Enquirer October 14, 1823, The Rev. REUBEN FORD departed this life on the 6th inst. at his residence in the county of Hanover, in the 82nd year of his age, after a distressing affliction of nearly three years. He was among the oldest Baptist preachers in Virginia. Though he is dead, he lives and will live in everlasting remembrance. The subject of this notice was a man of sound judgment; a faithful affectionate and successful preacher of the gospel; eminently given to hospitality; in every duty of domestic relation he has left, we fear, but few equals; and in social life he was a pattern to all his acquaintance. We trust he has fought the good fight, he has kept the faith, and that henceforth there is laid up for him a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, shall give him in that day. This is not the language of panegyric, but what, we doubt not, all who knew this godly man, and know and love the truth, will cordially subscribe to.
