Surnames: Forbes Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/Yg.2ADE/565.1 Message Board Post: I just spoke with my Grandmother who has done the geneology for my side of the forbes family and here's what she told me. George Washington Forbes had a whole slew of brothers and sisters. Louisa born in 1836, John born in 1837, Elizabeth born in 1839, Lamira born in 1840, Nathan born in 1842, Edwin born in 1844, George born in 1847, Marcena born in 1848, Martha born in 1851, Fanny born in 1853, Mary Jane born in 1855. Their mother and father were Fanny Salsbury and Edwin Forbes (born June 6, 1809). He died in Plainview Nebraska, but before that he was in the Mexican American War and recieved a land grant in Ogal County IL, he also was in Buffalo Bill's wild west show. We believe that he lived in PA from 1835 to 1840. Fanny Salsbury's mother was Lamira. If you want to get in touch with me e-mail me at shane4bes@earthlink.net Shane Forbes
