David Torrey and Lydia Shaw are her parents. On 20 May 1804 she was united in marriage in Abington to Joseph Ford, son of Jacob Ford and Rachel Eager. They are the parents of three children born in Abington:

Elbert Ford-8 Mar 1806-Sarah W. Hobert
Nelson Ford-10 Mar 1810-20 Sep 1814
Austin Ford-9 Sep 1815

***NOTE***
There seems to be a question about this Joseph and his wife. Tombstone states that his wife's name is Sarah A.----, but clearly the records state that his wife is Ruth Torrey and that she died in 1866 a WIDOW at age of 84 years, as he passed on in 1848. Therefore this Sarah is in question. I find no record of this marriage to Sarah in Abington records and no divorce of Ruth????

I do not feel that I can connect Joseph and Ruth until this is clarified. Any help would be appriciated.
