My gg-grandfather was Chrales Forbes Jr. b. ca 1805 in Wayne Co., NY. He had five children that I know of. Lorenzo D. b. 1829, my gg-grandfather. Moved to Chesterton, Porter Co., Indiana via Michigan. Alexander, b, 1832. May have gone back to Scotland. Charles. b. 1836 William, b. 1839 Mary, b. 1841 I have a vague recollection of one of these Forbes moving to the Detroit area but cannot find any notes about it. I have been unable to find where Charles Sr. was from or when he was born. Harry G.
