Hi listers, Has anyone done research on the Forrest family of East Smithfield? I'm interested in the wife of Daniel Forrest who was Achsa ???? Forrest. Achsa and Daniel are both buried in the Thomas Cemetary in East Smithfield. He was born Nov 15,1806 and died July 30,1887. Achsa was born Jan 25, 1810 no death date given. I can safely assume she died before the turn of the century. On a family history quilt that I wrote about awhile ago I had one name "Achza Sept, 20 1861" we could not identify. I don't know if this date was a birth or death. Achsa _____ Forrest could be that person. The difference in spelling could be misunderstanding of the embroidered letter as an "s" could come out looking like a "z". The date on our quilt could be a death date, but I need to check further for confirmation. For those of you who missed my earlier request for help, I'll tell it briefly again. My first cousin has a family history quilt made by our great grandmother Mary Araminta (Mintie Williams Kelly). Mintie was born in 1850 and died in 1914. She made a quilt with 42 squares on it and each one had a name/initials and date/dates on it. There are three people we could not identify, Achza being one. Mintie started with herself and husband three daughters, all grandchildren born before 1914. She had her sister, brother and three of his children, parents and both sets of grandparents and various cousins. I will be checking the Historical Society in Towanda for a family folder on the Forrest family when I come in late July this year. I will also check for wills and obituaries. I know a lot of people on the list do their research from a long distance and I'm making this request in the hope someone out there is researching the Forrest line. This website is the greatest and my thanks to all who make it possible!! Claudetta W. Harding Silver Spring, Md
