Info on James M Forbush b/July 1858 Lawrence County, Ohio

James_L_Forbush — 2009-08-14 14:41:13Z

Looking for parents of and other information on James M Forbush. Born July 1858 Ohio. Possible death Feb 23, 1925 Wayne County, Ohio. I said possible, as I have not tied the Ohio Death Index death info directly to James M.

Have copy of the marriage license of James M Forbush and Viola Jane Moore Feb 10, 1887. James S Moore, her father, has given a sworn statement on the license information. This is from Book 14, Page 394, Groom Index, Lawrence County, Ohio.

The 1900 and 1910 US Census list daughter, Elizabeth/Lizzie born July 1887. The Birth Records, Lawrence County has daughter Jane T born June 10, 1887 Rome, Lawrence, Ohio.

The 1910 Census lists a grand-daughter, Helen Forbush, as being in James/Viola household. Helen shown as 4 years old.

Viola Jane Moore, per the 1900 census, born March 1871, Ohio. My info on Viola:

Father: James M Moore b/ Mar 1845 Ohio
Mother: Amanda Elizabeth Mannon b/ April 1847 Windsor
County, Ohio
Father of Amanda: Anthony Mannon b/1824 d/1882
Father of Anthony: Moses William Mannon
Mother of Anthony: Mary Polly Simmons
Mother of Amanda: Christina Ann Kingery b/ 1884
Father of Christina: Peter Kingery b/ 1770
Mother of Christina: Sarah Davis b/1775

Currently I am not able to find additional information on James M Forbush. Does anyone have anything. Parents? etc.

Ephraim R. Forbush

JudyMasur — 2009-07-11 15:05:11Z

I have a newspaper clipping for the obit of Ephraim R. Forbush, died Jun 15. I dont have the year, but it contains some genealogical info. He was the youngets of seven children of Daniel and Nancy Grapes Forbush. He was born in 1831 at Dummer, N. H. His father being among the early settlers of Coos County, there was pioneer blood in his veins and in 1857, four years after his marriage to Louisa Miles, he joined the tide of home-seekers which followe the histoic rush of '49 for gold.

This article goes on to tell about his life and concludes with his death in Guildhall.

If you are a descendent of this family, I would love to send this article to you for your family records.

Hello,
My name is Lynne Lorraine Forbush. My father is Raymond
Albert Forbush. One of his sisters was Ellen Forbush.
Ellen was born in Provo? Utah or Salt Lake. He had 4 sisters...Ellen, Jessie, Peggy & Edith...
I know about her through my brother Robert Raymond Forbush.
He is now 81 and we are talking about the history of the family. He remembers Ellen but there is no information about her. She was born at about 1915.
The family has Polly Clark/Senford Forbush...
If we fit somehow, please write me and we'll talk.
Thank you...

I am trying to locate James Lincoln Forbush who responded to you in 2001. Info on him is no longer accurate. I am Danny Ray Forbush, son of Ray Forbush and Jean (Carter) Forbush. Ray was born in Lawrence County OH in , I believe, 1923. He was the son of manford Forbush and Ruth (Payne) Forbush. He was the youngest of eight children. I know some of his siblings names. One brother was Lincoln. Any infirmation would be appreciated.

Hi,

I have some Barnes/Hembree (aka Hembrick) ancestors, amongst whom appeared a Sarah Forbush bc 1833 TN, and a James F. Forbush bc 1849, MO. They were in the 1850 Stoddard Co., MO census, and there is really no explanation as to why they were there. Could this be your Sarah Forbush/Fawbush/Forebush?

Forbush Family in Otsego County, NY early 1800s

KRanguette0819 — 2005-08-27 14:08:57Z

Hi! I have a Forbush/Furbush mystery with many clues and I'm hoping to hear from any other Forbush researchers with ancestors in Otsego County. "My" Forbush family (Aaron and Salinda/Cylinda) lived there in the 1820 and 1830 census. Each census indicates they had many chlidren, girls & boys. An Aaron & Catherine (Rice) Forbush Sr. is well documented on-line and had a son, Aaron Jr. in 1780 in MA. My 3rd great grandfather Sanford Forbush was born in 1799 in New Salem, MA. The only Forbush/Furbush in New Salem then was Aaron, Jr. In addition, to Sanford (tentatively), Aaron Jr. and Salinda had a Clark Forbush (1812) and Salinda, Jr. (1823). They may have also had Simeon (1818) and Lucinda. I remember seeing previously messages from some of these descendants. Can we pool our efforts, please.

Looking for a Mrs Marshall Swain (nee Forbush)

Hope to hear from you in the next few days. Have seen your reference on another Forbush Family History by Timothy Thomas. Looks like you have been real busy with the Forbush line.

Lookinf for a Forbush MyFamily.com invite

2002-02-14 21:07:08Z

Have found that if you don't ask you may not get what you want?

Have received so much good information and so many pictures from other family websites on other family lines that I would really appreciate an invite to join one for the Forbush family.

My line is out of Lawrence County, OH, with George W being born in VA in 1826 then moving to OH to marry Sarah Pinkerman. I have several pages of descendant report to share and a few pictures. Besides the tie in to the Pinkerman families there are ties to the Sowards, Payne and Villars families. There are other families of course, but these are the primary families as related to the Forbush family line.

I have information on the Kingery, Simpson, Murnahan, Fetty, Cremeans, Copley, Browning, Varney, Murphy, Damron, Chaffin, Burns, Hatfield, McCoy, Smith, Wallace and McClellan families to name just a few of the families in my database of related families.
I hope to hear from someone with an invite, but if you don't have one and are interested in any of the families above just give an email to me at daby@sccoast.net down here in SC and I'll get back. My screenname for Instant Messenger on aol and yahoo is OldMUGrad.

Thanks for the read.

I tried to e mail you, new at this, so I got it returned.

Henrietta Morris Failing was my great grandmother. She was married to Pharis Winfield Lee both of Tn, they moved to Falls Church VA.

Henrietta modeled her family after her own grandmother's Henrietta Ellison Failing. I knew there was a Senator somewhere, but not who , a banker, but not who. Henrietta M. Failing's parents were Abiah Magnolia Morris and Dr John W Failing of Knox Co TN. Do you know why John Failing would have left OR to go to TN ? It is odd that some of the family came from NYC as I live there and never knew.
Some of the names in the family are beginning to make sense. Ellison for example Have you heard the name Weymer ? or Merrill in any way ?
