Here is an interesting tidbit. I found a record in the Chester Co. Orphan's Court from 1751. Mary Archer, d/o Jacob Archer, deceased, requested that Benjamin Ford be made her guardian, which was granted. As I understand it, if a "child" was of a certain age he or she could request her "guardian". It looks like Mary's older sister Margaret was the wife of Benjamin's son Philip Ford. The interesting question is whether this young lady went on to be the "Mary" listed as the last wife of Benjamin Ford, Sr ? There is a baptismal record for parents Benjamin and Mary Ford in 1756 at Old Swedes in New Castle, De. Benjamin Ford had six children deemed "younger" in his will of 1774. By the way, there were two or three women named "Mary Archer" in the Archer family. Bev W
