I have hit the proverbial brick wall trying to go back on William Thomas, or his wife Palestine, not to mention trying to find out who the first wife was. A good majority of the above Forbes are buried in Lavelock Cemetery, in Ray co. Mo. There are other Forbes' buried there also, but I am not sure of the relationship of all of them. Looking forward eagerly to hearing from someone out there. Pat, in Oregon
