Virginia Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ripley,_New_York describes Forsyth as " Forsyth -- A hamlet on Route 20 in the southeast corner of the town." They are referring to Ripley. Another website ( http://bigdaddydata.com/city/NY/Forsyth/115671/index.php )shows the location on a map.

I am looking for the town of Forsythe. I have been advised that it is in Chautaqua, however it does not show on the census for 1830. Does someone know if this town had a different name in the 1820s? I have a deed from 1823 referring to Forsythe and the Benjamin Nash family. Virginia
