Stanford and his brother Stanley were born to Caryn and Filbrick, two rogues, on a beach further East of Falling Skies. They called this shoreline Glass Shard Beach, due to the Twoleg litter that covered the sands. As kittens, Stan and Ford were very close with each other and their parents, until they were about the age of apprentices.

At the age of six moons, Filbrick humiliated Stan in front of Ford, denouncing him as his son and casting him into a life of exile. Ford refused to leave Stan's side and left with him. They lived together as young rogues for several moons, and both were struggling to learn how to survive on their own without their parents.

At around 12 moons of age, Ford blamed Stan for a lousy catch that day, claiming that if Stan weren't so impulsive they would have managed to catch something to eat. Stan retorted that Ford could never catch anything on his own, let alone fight off any danger. This resulted in a heated brawl between the two siblings, and Stan accidentally injured his own brother in his rage. In shock and hurt anger, Stanford asserted that maybe Filbrick had a reason for exiling Stanley after all, and that he should have never come with him. Stan firmly agrees, and leaves his brother behind. After waiting a full night and day for Stanley's return, Ford too sets off on his own. They remain separated for 30 moons.

During this time, Ford meets a yellow tabby cat named Bill, who promises to help Ford learn how to survive as a loner. Ford trusts him, and they become close friends. At 42 moons, however, Bill betrays Ford, and flees for his own safety when Ford's life is put in peril by a fox attack. Stan finds his brother grappling with the fox in the forest and leaps in to rescue him. They apologize to one another and admit their wrongdoings, and both make up and travel side by side with one another for the rest of their young lives.

At 63 moons, Ford receives a strange dream from a Starclan cat named Mapleshoot, who informs him of his and Stanley's heritage to the former Clan of Gurgling Waters. Ford convinces Stan to come with him, and together, they travel to find what is now known as The Clan of Falling Skies, eventually settling down and becoming elders among their new clanmates.
