As a new subscriber to this list, I am uncertain as to the resources available. I do have the following two generations of FORBES and ask if anyone has info on these people, or suggestions for research into the Forbes of the 1700's. Nicholas FORBES b abt 1761 and lived in Pownal, Bennington, VT. He married Sarah FERGUSON. Their daughter was Olive FORBES, b. 1789 and she married Jeremiah JENKS, probably in Pownal, VT. I would like to learn the names of Nicholas' ancestors and the history of this family in early America. Gary duf@ntplx.net
