    3. The info I have on Mrs. Nancy Jane Forrest Gorman. She was born about 1856 and married Henry Harvey Gorman on November 22,1925 in Bradley County, Arkansas. Henry Harvey Gorman, son on George Mathis Gorman and a grandson of Simpson and Vashti V. Gorman was born January 2, 1846 in Mississippi. Henry Harvey Gorman married Louise Measle Fitch about 1868 in Bradley County. Louise Fitch Gorman died March 4, 1918 in Bradley, and is buried at the Marsden Cemetery. Henry Harvey Gorman married Susan "Susie" E. Gates on August 25, 1922 in Bradley County, Arkansas. She died May 11, 1925 in Bradley County. Susie Gates Gorman is buried at Marsden Cemetery. Henry Harvey Gorman married Nancy J. Forrest on November 25, 1925 in Arkansas. I do not know what county they married in. Henry Harvey Gorman died on July 18, 1928 in Hermitage, Bradley County, Arkansas, and is buried at Marsden Cemetery. I did find a Mrs. Nancy Jane Forrest buried at Smyrna Cemetery. Her birth is noted as 8-8-1856, and died 9-23-1945. I DO NOT KNOW WHY SHE WENT BACK TO THE FORREST LAST NAME, AS SHE WAS LISTED AS "NANCY GORMAN" IN THE 1930 CENSUS OF BRADLEY CO.). There are many more "Forrest" buried in this cemetery. The 1900 Census of Washington Township, Bradley County has Nany J. Forrest, head- of household, with children, Caleb, Milton, Richard, Sarah, Nancy J. (age 5), Bessie M.(age 3) living with her. Nancy Jane is listed as age 44, and a widow. The 1910 Census of Ouachita Township, Bradley County has Nancy J. Forest, age 53, widow, with daughter, Bessie, age 13 living with her. Next door is her son, Milton Forest. >From the 1920 Census, Nancy Jane Forrest with living with her daughter, Bessie Baker (age 22) Claud Baker, their children, Dorothy, Alvin, Opal. Nancy Jane Forrest is now age 62 (NANCY'S AGE SHOULD HAVE BEEN LISTED AS 64) Marries Henry Harvey Gorman in 1925, she would be about 69 or 70. Henry Harvey Gorman dies in 1928, she would be about 72 or 73. The 1930 Census show a Nancy Gorman, age 75, in the home of her son Caleb Forrest in Marion Township, Bradley. Then in 1940 she would be about 85, and then she had her birth day on August 8, was 90, then died in Sept. 1945. I did find in the Bradley County marriage records a Robert Forest age 23 marriage to a Mrs. Nancy Jane Forest, age 24, this was on October 16, 1879, then the 1880 Census of Robert & Nancy show them living in Marion Township, on June 18, 1880. Then looking back in the Bradley County Genweb site, I found a William & Mary Forrest, Marion Township, with a son named Robert, age 11, born in Alabama; this census was on 7/11/1870, so it is possible that this is the same family ( information found under Bradley County Biographies, John and Martha Moseley Forrest) due to the state where born and age. If you can add anything to this, please do. Coyal Maxey Gorman Minden, Louisiana
