Forbes was born December 22, 1809 in New York. He came to Iowa in 1850, and eventually took up residency in Floyd County, Iowa near Rock Grove City, Iowa in 1865. He died in February 1872, and was buried at Rock Grove City, Iowa. He was married to Elizabeth Mathews (born around 1811), and they had 8 children named Harriet, Margaret J., Thomas J., Joseph W., James W., Mary E., Wilson M., Enoch Fletcher, and Isabella. We are descendants of his son Enoch Fletcher Forbes - born June 2, 1853. WE ARE LOOKING FOR INFORMATION ABOUT THE PARENTS OF JOHN G. FORBES. PLEASE REPLY TO OUR PERSONAL E-MAIL IF YOU HAVE DETAILS ON THE ANCESTORS OF JOHN G. FORBES. THANK YOU! E-mail: kingqueenf@aol.com
