Here's one other piece of info, a reference to the will of a Peter Forby in the obscure court of the Dean and Chapter of Norwich. Don't know if this is the same Peter Forby mentioned in connection with the Howletts of N. Tuddenham.

Hi, Thanks so much for this information, I do appreciate you taking the time to send it and I may well be relevant later on. Since I made my initial post I have managed to find some further information on my FORBY line. Peter's wife was Rebecca GALLANT and they married 31st March 1812 in Beeston. Peter was the son of John FORBY and Susanna CHILVERS and was born 1787 in Great Dunham. I will keep your information on file in case I can use it later on....you never know where those branches are going to lead you next, and Peter does not seem to be a common christian name around this time frame.

This might be of some help later on:
Peter HOWLETT of North Tuddenham, Norf. (bp. 1588) left a will in1660 (ANF), leaving his lands in N. Tuddenham to his grandson Peter FORBEY. Peter Forbey was a son of Peter Howlett's daughter, Dorothy (bp. 1615) who mar. in Elsing 4 Feb. 1635/6 Hillary Forbey or FORBY, who came from Ashill. Their elder children were bp. in Ashill, but I have not found Peter's baptism.

Hello. I am not working on the family geneology at the moment so it's all a bit hazy, however, as I recall, Frances Forby was sister to Carl Thomas Weisse, Senior, who was married to my grandmother, Minnie Irene (nee) Campbell, Does that ring a bell? If so, let me know and I'll see what information I can find out for you from my family members. If not, let me look again and see if I'm confused right now. I know my mother has been looking for Frances for awhile in order to find out more about Carl. My father's name was Carl Thomas Weise (misspelled from Weisse), Jr. Does that ring a bell? Thanks.

Peter FORBY circa 1787-1858 Feltwell, Norfolk, England

2004-07-15 07:36:11Z

I am searching for further information on the above who was my 3x great grandfather. I have his death certificate which shows he died in Feltwell 22nd Feb 1858 but no other relevant information. He was married to Rebecca MORLDY (possibly MORLEY) in 1828 and as far as I know they only had one daughter, Susan born 14th Nov 1829.

I would love to find out who Peter's parents were and also his wife's correct maiden name. Any and all help or suggestions appreciated.

I think we may have some information about Robert Ewatha Forby. My grandfather was married to my grandmother and left her and moved to California in the 1930's. My mother found him 1 year after he died in 1972. His new wifes maiden name might have been Black. Could this be the same person????

Unfortunately, I did not know that much information about my father before he died other than where and when he was born. Which is the sole purpose of why I'm trying to locate some of his relatives. I know he was born in the TN area and came to CA sometime around the late 1930s or so. What I was primarily wondering is if your Robert P. Forby is somehow related (possible father) to my dad, Robert E. Forby (born Sep 7, 1894)? He was also of American Native and African American decent, if this information is pertinent to either of our quests.

Possible relatives of Robert P. Forby

2001-02-20 09:08:31Z

My father, Robert E. Forby, born Sept 7, 1894 in Tn, died 8/1972. I have been attempting to locate other paternal relatives in Tn. I know that my father was married once to another woman, name unknown, I believe from Seattle, WA. Could you please email me and let me know if I have possibly found something to go on. Thank you.

Forby/Faubion

skeplover1 — 2002-01-02 06:45:32Z

Tracy
I don't have research back that far, I believe my earliest is Robert P. Forby who married Theany Pruitt in 1869. My ggrandmother Mary Alice was supposedly a Faubion but I've been told that Robert P. Forby is actually her father. I don't know for sure. I remember being told that the Faubion family consisted of a father and three sons, one of whom was named Henry. Does this help tie us together?

Lizbeth6302 — 2001-10-03 11:03:39Z

Ronnie,

I know we have talked about your Forbys which are actually Faubions. I have put the Forbys I found in the census of green county TN for 1880 on this list. I found your Theany Pruitt in there. You mentioned Pack. Susan C Forby/Faubion married Adam C Campbell but his sister Julia Campbell married an Pack. Can you tell me more about the Packs?

Lizbeth6302 — 2001-10-03 10:59:36Z

A very nice lady sent me the census of green county TN for 1880. I have posted the Forbys that I found in the census only most of them are known as Faubion's everywhere else. I am looking for info on Susan C Faubion who married Adam C Campbell in green county TN in 1857. I have her death certificate which lists a Joe Forby as her father and a mary Anne Getts as her mother. ALL born in VA. Susan C Faubion Campbell died in 1921 in cocke county TN.

If anyone can connect with with anyone on this list..please write. No one knows why some of the Faubions are called Forby...but its known that Forby and Faubion are considered the same name. I have put the death certificate here as an attatchments if you would like to look at it.

Forby used for FAUBION

Lizbeth6302 — 2001-09-02 01:14:21Z

Two people that have contacted me about the Forby genealogy did not realize that Forby is Faubion. No one knows why but if you have Forbys, as these two friends of mine did..take the first name but use Faubion as the last name when looking. I found both of their linages on Family Tree Maker in the home pages..there the nice man that posted all the info on the Faubions talks about Forby being used with or in place of the Faubion name. Of course this is not true with all Forbys..but for the ones in TN, VA, IL and such. Again..I am looking for Joe Forby and Mary Ann Getts both born in VA..had a daughter named Susan Faubion who married Adam Campbell in Green county TN. Her death certificate states FORBY for her fathers name..yet her name on her marriage license is FAUBION.

Deb,

I wanted to write to you to tell you that I found three african american Forby men in the green county TN census...at the time I was looking for them I did not think to write them down. I also remember a little more info there, names and dates and such ..but dear I did not at that time write it down either. Mine are not african american but there must be some kind of a connection because Forby is not a commen name and I did find that its another name for FAUBION. There is a little info out there and the next time I see it I will write it down and send it too you..

Lizbeth6302 — 2001-06-22 11:33:10Z

Ronnie..

I have a Susan Forby married to an Adam C Campbell in Green county TN in 1857 only the marriage license says her name is FAUBION. Her death certificate names her parents as;
Joe Forby and Mary ANne Getts both born in VA but had to be in TN by 1837 as thats when susan was born. Can you email me..we may be talking about the same family.

Lizbeth6302 — 2001-06-22 11:33:10Z

Ronnie,

FOr some reason..Forby is a way of spelling Faubion..or Forby is considered Faubion..I found a reference to that on the web. There is only one Forby Name in Green county TN in 1840 and It almost has to be my Joe Forby with wife Mary Anne Getts..both from Virginia..

ROnnie..will you please write to me at
