Seeking descendants of James FORBES, b. 1757 - Granville, Hampden, MA d. May 7, 1835 - Waterford, New London, CT and his son, Edmund FORBES. Revolutionary War Pension file No. S.37928 shows a James FORBES who served in Capt. Lebbeus Ball's company of Minute-Men from Granville in 1776.

Hi from Australia. I am searching for information re William Forbes who married Janet Gilmour 31/12/1851,at Dunbaryon. Children Thomas,Henry Steel,Mary,Catherine Williamson, Matthew and Catherine William. Coral Forbes Kingston Australia. ia.

Dear Forbes, this is my first time to post to your list. My husband and I live in the beautiful hills of Brown County, IN after escaping from the city life of Dallas. We attend about 25 Scottish festivals throughout the year around the country where many of the Forbes folk have their clan tents. I'd like to keep you all posted on the Scottish Festival/Game circuit as I think it is also an important link to our heritage. For all of you in the Midwest, July 17 and 18 there will be a Scottish Festival in Columbus, IN at Mill Race Park. The Ceilidh is Friday night and costs $15 it is held at the Ramada Inn. Can you tell I am the publicity chairperson for the festival? Also, I would be re-miss in not mentioning my website at:http://www.greatscotshop.com This is the only time I'll write that we have Forbes ties, Scarves, kilt and clan items. Just wanted you to know---don't want to make this a forum to sell my wares--just mentioned it this time as it is a very important part of my life. Thanks, Sally Great Scot P.O. Box 1817 Nashville, IN 47448 www.greatscotshop.com 1-800-572-1073

Hello Fellow Forbes Researchers, I have notes from my father's research 20 years ago and hope to extend the family tree further. I have been very fortunate with some branches, but can find lttle on my FORBES line. Can anyone help me with more info about my ggGF? James William FORBES (1806-1891) married Catherine JONAH (1808-1870) 31 March 1830 at Hillsborough Parish, Westmorland Co, NB, Canada. I do not know where JW Forbes was born, possibly Halifax NS Canada. Do you have any Canadian Forbes in your tree? Any assistance would be appreciated. Best Regards Norm Forbes Pickering Ontario

Hello, I am new to this list and have begun researching the Forbes family. My oldest Forbes that I have so far is Isaiah FORBES, b 24 March 1810 in Albany, NY. In 1837 after studying dentistry in NY, he moved to St. Louis Missouri. He set up a practice there and on 01 February 1847 he married Cornelia STAATS. The had the following children: Anna, Goveneur, Ino, Cornelia, Cora Bell and Isaiah Forbes. I'm trying to find out more information on the Forbes family in the Albany area - any ideas? Thanks -Kathy in Michigan

I am new to the list so thought I should post some of my line. I have William Forbes b c1760. Wife unknown. His son Angus m Lucy Geer 11/5/1810 in Rockbridge Co. Their son Angus m Angeline Bennington 9/30/1846 in Rockbridge Co. (This is the way I've always been told.) I couldn'd find them in the 1850 Rockbridge Census so I started looking around and found them in Allegheny Co. living with a George Forbes age 53 and Nancy Forbes age 66. Now I wonder who these people are and how they are all related. Is anyone researching this family? Or if any of this rings a bell, please drop me a line. Thanks, Doris Snyder dvs1119@aol.com

Hello- I recently found out that my ggg grandfather was Thomas FORBES born 1808 in Scotland. Possibly Perth area. He immigrated to USA 1838 and married 7 July 1838 in NY to Margaret MACLACHLAN. She was born 1817 possibly from Dunfermlin. They ended up in Ottawa, LaSalle Co., Illinois. Both died there in 1894. Have been through Scots Origins for both but I don't have an exact dob on either of them. LDS has listed in the IGI the marriage date and place of NY and also in Perth, Perthshire, Scotland. They had children William John, Thamas Jr., Susan, Charles Mailer, Albert, & Harvey. Time span on kids 1840-1854. I know for a fact that William John moved to Wayne Co., Illinois with wife Mary jeanette Tracy and kids. Susan died young, Thomas Jr. moved to Chicago area. The other boys I can't say where they ended up exactly. I have found some of their marriage licenses and a child for one of them. Does this shake anyone's family tree? I would love to find out Thomas Sr. and Margaret's parents or descendants of the other sons. Thanks! Dana Miller Evansville, Indiana USA
