Surnames: Forbes, Hale, Ryder Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/EEX.2ACIB/401.512 Message Board Post: I am researching a forbes family with many members buried at Greenwood Cemetery in Brooklyn, NY. George E. Forbes bought the lot in June 17, 1865. On June 20, 1865 he buried 6 persons, Colen, Josephine, Emaline, William H., William H. and Felicit. His children Ida and Ella gave the lot to Ada Ryder and her father Mortimer Hale, Mortimer's wife was Catherine Forbes (don't know her relation to above). Very confused on all these people. The only Forbes I have connected is Catherine who married Mortimer Hale, and their descendents. Does any of this make sense to you in your research.
