I am looking for a William Forbes born in County Tyrone Ireland. I know nothing about him, and I can't trace my family line any further back beyond his son Thomas Forbes born 1801 in County Tyrone Ireland. He married a Nancy Bell. They had a daughter named Mary Forbes born Feb 3 1843 in County Tyrone Ireland. Sometime after that they came to Wellsburg West Virginia. Mary Forbes married James Ward Moore Carmichael May 7 1861. They had a son named William James Carmichael born Sept 17 1875 in Wellsburg W.VA. Maybe somehow these Williams are related??? Do you have any more information on William???
