Hi all, Have seen reference to my ancestor, Berrien Forehand (ggg uncle) as working on the "Waynesboro Railroad, 4th section." Listed in the 1850 Burke County Census with the occupation of "Overseer, CCR". Any info about this man, or the Railroad, would be appreciated. Also interested in any other Forehands that may have been involved. My gg grandfather is David Burke Forehand, brother to Berrien, but he was still living in the home of his mother and step-father (Sarah Burke Forehand Wallace and Adam Wallace) in 1850. Thanks for any info. Cindy Forehand Watts > -----Original Message----- > From: Judy V.
