Does anyone know anything about a possible Fly-Forrester/Forrest connection? This would have been in Tennessee before the Flys moved to Barry Co.
As far as I know the Flys and Forrest families knew each other, possibly neighbors in Tennessee. I haven't found a marriage connection between the families. I have the following notes: Elisha Fly and family left Gibson County, Tennessee in October of 1832 with Watson and Abraham Forrest and their wives. They all traveled in one wagon drawn by cattle. They soon fell in with James Kennedy, who, with his wife and four children were in a wagon drawn by horse. They settled on Slavin's Creek, in what is now Greene County, Arkansas. They remained there for three years. Jack Fly On Mon, Dec 12, 2011 at 8:38 PM, Bob Foster <rfoster37@cox.net> wrote: > Does anyone know anything about a possible Fly-Forrester/Forrest > connection?

Hi Jack, Since Abraham Forrest had some Flys in his household in Barry County I was wondering what the odds were that his first wife Jane might have been a Fly?
