'''History—'''<br>This congregation originated with members of the Established Church who were dissatisfied with the doctrines taught in the pulpits of the parish churches, and the moral deadness that pervaded the congregations, the Presbytery of Dalkeith being notorious at the time for its moderatism. They applied for and obtained supply of sermon from the Relief Presbytery of Edinburgh in 1784. This congregation became extinct after the departure of its third minister in 1814, and the property belonging to it was sold to the Secession Church congregation.<br>'''Source:''' ''Annals and Statistics of the United Presbyterian Church,'' by Rev.

'''History—'''<br>This congregation originated with members of the Relief Church, and some of the Secession, resident in the locality, who attended church in Fala and Dalkeith. These parties applied to the Associate Burgher Presbytery of Edinburgh for supply of sermon in 1815, which the Presbytery was disposed to grant; but such was the strenuous opposition shown to the movement by the minister and several members of the congregation of Fala, fearing the loss of Number of their congregation, that it was deemed expedient to refer the case to the Synod. The Synod by a majority granted the petition, but there was still opposition. However, when the Relief Church building was offered for sale the same year, a congregation was formed in connection with the United Associate Synod and the place of worship was purchased. They occupied that church until 1851 when a new one was built. Ford is partly in the parishes of Cranston and Crichton.<br>'''Source:''' ''Annals and Statistics of the United Presbyterian Church'', by Rev. William MacKelvie, D.D., pub. 1873. FHL Film #477618.
