I have my gggrandmother Anna Forbis, married to George W Henson of Laurel Co KY, had a sister Drucilla Forbis who married Thomas Lear/Lair on April 06, '1834' Laurel Co KY (witness William Metcalf) .... Interested in anything on Thomas Lear/Lair. Anna and Druscilla Forbis were daughters of William Forbis and Sarah McCammon-Forbis who married Dec 02, '1808' Clay Co KY. William Forbis is a son of Rev War Vet John Forbis who lived out his life in Laurel Co KY. One of Rev War Vet John Forbis's wives was named Druscilla, who was probably the mother of William and that is why he named one of his daughters Druscilla (Anna Forbis was named after her grandmother Anna Cathers who married William McCammon (Anna Cathers was a sister of Rev War Vet Edward 'Ned' Cathers of Clay/Laurel Co KY). Now back to the William Metcalf, mentioned above as a witness to the marriage of Druscilla Forbis and Thomas Lear/Lair .... this William Metcalf (William Henry Metcalf) married Elizabeth Elkins o! n February 16, '1829' Laurel Co KY. William later moved to Livingston/Grundy Co MO and became a Judge. Elizabeth Elkins-Metcalf had brothers W.R.D. 'Dillard' Elkins and Jackson Elkins who married daugthers, Sarah and Lucinda, of George W Henson and Anna Forbis-Henson while the families were living in Grundy Co MO along with 'many other Laurel Co KY families' who had moved to Livingston/Grundy Co MO in the late 1830's (the Hensons and Elkins returned to Laurel Co KY mid 1840). Brother-in-laws 'Dillard' Elkins and Elisha Henson (Elisha was a son of George and Anna Forbis-Henson) both served as Constables in the 2nd District of Laurel Co KY. An Isaac Jackson Forbis posted bond for the Sept 1853 appointment of 'Dillard' Elkins so he could serve as Constable. Please share any additional information on Thomas Lear/Lair and any of the many KY relatives of mine mentioned above. 'R.E.'
