Dear List members, I have hit the proverbial brick wall big time on my FOREST/FORREST family. JAMES FOREST/FORREST married MAZIE GORDON in Botetourt Co VA in 1805. (I believe Mazie was the daughter of GILES GORDON). This James Forest/Forrest next shows up in Gallia/Meigs Co OH circa 1807. The only other mention I've found for a James Forest/Forrest is a 1800 Botetourt Co VA tax list - upper district- for one male and one horse and I don't know if this is my James for sure. James' father was a JOHN FOREST/FORREST who was married at least twice (maybe three times). His last wife was ROSANA/ROSINA CARPENTER. Haven't been able to locate a marriage record for them although other records show that this Rosana/Rosina was in W. VA prior to her marriage. . This John's other wives may have had the first names of SERIAH, AWZILLA, AURILLA. Could I ask list members to check their data for any mention of FOREST, FORREST, GORDON, CARPENTER? Any clues or hints would be greatly appreciated and I would try to reciprocate in some way. Do you have any unidentified Seriahs, Awzillas, Aurillas?? Do any of you have any of these surnames that ended up in OH? HELP!!! Thanking you for your attention. PENNY [email protected]
