Sellers, Esq., of the Marion Bar. 1902. pp. 167-170 ... The first one known to the writer, in about 1830, was Preserved Ford, universally called Zarv Ford ; he was then seventy-five or eighty years of age, may be older ; he lived on the west side of Caddy's Mills, then called Ford's Mills. It was at an association held at the old Saw Mill Church, on the east side of the mills—the church was old and dilapidated. It was there that I first saw him, and never saw him afterwards. He was a well-to-do man, and prominent in his day; he had three sons, Jessee, William and Charles. ;
