I have been researching the Forshay family for a long, long time, and always hit a stumbling block. My great great grandfather (Richard) Walter Limbert, b. in NYC in the 1830's married a Hannah Marie Forshay in NYC around 1850 and had my great grandfather Benjamin Franklin Limbert in 1859. In trying to trace the Forshay leg of the family, I find Hannah was the daughter of Abraham b. in NJ in 1813, d. 1862 in NYC and his wife Maria Antoinette Sands, b. NYC in 1819. Abraham's father was supposedly another Abraham who was born in 1794 in Paramus NJ and his mother was Hannah Ackerson b. 1789; however, I can't find any record of their marriage in any of the churches in Bergen County NJ; this Abraham's father was supposed Abram Forshee who was born in Paramus in 1761 and died in Saddle River NJ (I found his gravestone there) whoch was married to Elizabeth DeBaun, b 1766 in Paramus. Do you have any of this information in your family Bible? I would greatly appreciate it if you could share whatever information you have about the family, as I have hit a dead end. There were many Forshays in Viola, NY (where I visited) but I don't know where my Forshays fit in with them.
