With the help of Mark Ulmer's explanation (especially) and a re-review of all my notes, I now know where I came up with the MISTAKEN idea that there were two Buffalo Presbyterian Churches in Guilford. An old map that I was consulting showed the location of Alamance Presbyterian Church to the southeast of Guilford Court House. Buffalo Creek, which is between the two was labeled as such on this map almost on top of the Alamance Presbyterian Church location. So in my not-too-careful reading of this map, and general ignorance of the lay-of-the-land, I transposed the name of the creek with the church. Sorry for causing all the confusion on this point. But I do disagree that there was only one Arthur Forbis/Forbes in the area before the American Revolution. I can prove that there were two. In Rev. Rankin's "History of the Buffalo Presbyterian Church and Her People" he positively identifies the non-soldier Arthur Forbis as a ruling elder of the church, having received a land grant in the area in 1764 on Hunting Creek. A careful analysis of the deeds relating to the two is one way to prove it. But perhaps the easiest way to see this is that Arthur Forbis, the soldier ("Capt." in official state records, but "Col." in a lot printed material -- I think he may have been "promoted" after he was killed <grin>), obviously died in the Battle of Guilford Court House. The other Arthur Forbis, whose land was always described as being on Hunting or Burch Creek "at fork of Richland Creek" as in: "27 Jan 1764. William Robinson to Arthur Forbus weaver for £70 N.C. Money, 466 acres on Hunting Creek at fork of Richland Creek the Reedy Fork of Haw R. adj. Samuel Scott. John McKnight, James McCuiston, Jr. Prvd Mar. Court 1764." and [18 November 1788] "Arthur Forbis to Hance McCane, both of Guilford County .. £120 .. a certain plantation or piece of land containing 116½ acres lying .. in the County of Guilford .. on both sides of Hunting Creek a fork of Richland Creek waters of Reedy fork of Haw River being a part of tract conveyed by Wm Robinson to Arthur Forbis in 1764 .." left his will in Guilford dated 10 April 1789; proved 1794. Capt./Col. Forbis dated his will 2 Jul 1780, and it was proved in August 1781. Two very different men, both contemporaries. Lou
