Seeking descendants of James FORBES, b. 1757 - Granville, Hampden, MA d. May 7, 1835 - Waterford, New London, CT and his son, Edmund FORBES. Revolutionary War Pension file No. S.37928 shows a James FORBES who served in Capt. Lebbeus Ball's company of Minute-Men from Granville in 1776. It states that he was 63 years old in 1820 (b.1757), and was living in Waterford, New London, Connecticut. He was apparently baptised in 1757 at the East Granville Church by the preacher Jedidah SMITH. This James had a single surviving child named Edmund FORBES, who was in Broadalbin, Fulton, New York in 1845.
