I am looking mostly for origins of my Forbes family that I've traced back to Pitt County, NC in the 1770's. At that time my 3-gr-grandfather, Rev. War Lt. Arthur Forbes was married to his first wife Dinah. His mother Ann Stafford Forbes, who later married John Shannon, was also living in the home. Arthur's father is not confirmed but is thought to be either John Forbes or Benjamin Forbes, who were both in Beaufort County NC (Bath Town) in 1730's and 1740's. This Arthur Forbes left many descendants through two marriages and at least 10 children. I am interested mostly in the family lines of his 3 sons, Alfred (b.1806 d.1847), Arthur (twin to Alfred, b.1806 d.1880's) and Archibald (b. 1811 d. 1838), who left Forbes lines in MS and TX via his wife, Louisa Clark Forbes and a son, Archibald Alexander Forbes (b.1838, married Anna E. Banks, d.1902 in Texas). Family legend indicates my Forbes line was descended from one of the Lord Forbeses, but our ancestor fled (or was exiled from) Scotland in 1600's, where he wandered through the Caribbean and landed in Virginia, then migrated southward into the Carolinas. I'm interested in establishing my links to this line and learning more about events in 1600's and 1700's that brought this Scottish ancestor to America.
