Re: Michael Lee Forry Sr. genealogy info needed

mforry_1 — 2009-01-23 04:19:48Z

Hi there

my name is Michael Forry, I live in Melbourne Australia. My family come from Achill Isle Co. Mayo. I found the most speedy way to get verifiable background is to contact the Irish genealogy project office. All you need is birth and death dates (if you have them !) of your grandparents or other close relative and they will research parish records for you. They do a lovely family history book at a very reasonable price. Makes a great birthday present !

The email address is normayo@iol.ie

All the best

Michael

Re: John Forry>Christian>John b. 1805 m. 1832 Pennsylvania Esther Zerby and family

campbellfh — 2008-01-18 01:51:00Z

Dolores,

Thank you for responding to my posting. The reference you gave me is the best Forry source I’ve ever used.

Although I’m a long way from working all the way through it, it is obvious that your 3rd great grandfather, Calvin Forry was a brother of my wife’s great grandmother, Catherine Forry. Would you be interested of Catherine's descent down to our grandchildren?

Is it possible that you might have photos of Catherine, Calvin, their parents or spouses.

If so, would you be willing to share them. I have photos of Catherine’s son, Jacob Foster Dock and all generations to date.

Thank you,

Frank Campbell

Re: John Forry>Christian>John b. 1805 m. 1832 Pennsylvania Esther Zerby and family

ddecwhit — 2008-01-17 01:19:23Z

There is a Furry Family History online (www.geocities.com/Heartland/Hills/4265/indexfur.html) which at least has my family line correct starting with John and Esther Zerbey Forry. Their son, Calvin, is my third great grandfather. It is confusing to read but about the last chapter it talks of decendants of Michael Forry, son of Johannes Forrer who was granted land in Berks county Oct 11, 1744. If I read properly, the line goes:
Johannes Forrer
Michael
John
John 1805 who married Esther. Thanks, Dolores

Re: Charles Forry b. 1857 m. Margaret Baymiller

Doug4E — 2007-11-15 14:56:25Z

If my information is correct, Charles Forry was born Nov. 15, 1857 in Silver Creek Township (near Freeport), Illinois. I have information about the Forry line back to about 1500 in Switzerland and Germany, but I don't have anything else about Charles Forry's descendants. Charles also had a brother, George who moved to California as well. I show Rhoda Clarissa as being born June 14, 1891 in Stephenson County Illinois in or near Freeport. I am descended from James A. Forry, Charles Forry's younger brother. Hope that this helps.

Re: Charles Forry b. 1857 m. Margaret Baymiller

MTABBERT — 2007-10-21 22:51:06Z

I am researching Rhoda Clarissa Forry (b Illinois 1892), daughter of Charles Forry and Margaret Baymiller. Rhoda married Percy (or Perry) Watson (b Illinois abt 1891, son of Benjamin Watson and Carrie Young). Rhoda and Perry (Percy) Watson lived in Gridley, Butte County, California according to the 1930 census and 1948 according to an obituary. They had one child that I know of, Jack F. Watson (b 1913, Alameda County, California). Rhoda's husband was my grandfather's cousin. My grandfather was Kenneth William Watson (b 1901 in South Dakota). I have information about the Watson family in South Dakota, Illinois, New York state and generations back to Massachusetts in the 1820s. I am lacking information about the Watson family in California.

I believe this line is from the Lebanon County line of Forrys, they are also located in Snyder, Schykill (sp) counties. There is a book" The History of the Wagensell Family in America with kindred branches" by George Washington Wagenseller, Middleburgh, Penna. Published in 1898 HOPE this helps in your search.

John Forry b. 1805 m. Esther Zerbe

doloreswhitaker — 2005-05-24 03:15:27Z

Is it possible that your John Forry was born around 1765 or 1767. I have a John Forry dob 25 March 1805 who marries Esther Zerbe in 1832 at the Trinity Tulpehocken Church in Berks County. I know that the original Johannes came from New York palatine colony.

Johannes Fuerher - Forry immigrant

doloreswhitaker — 2005-05-24 03:15:27Z

There is a website on the Furry family. Check http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Hills/4265/indexfur.html I had an original copy from a second cousin but saw this on the internet and it is the same information I have. From this information my descent goes:

Johannes Fuerher (whom I believe may have come from New York with the Zerbes and Meisers, other relatives of mine and I assume of yours). 2nd generation is Michael Forry, who was a captain in the pa militia during the Revolutionary War. 3rd generation is John Forry dob 16 May 1765; 4th generation would be John Forry dob 25 March 1805 who was married to Esther Zerbe dob 20 November 1814.

5th generation for me is Calvin Forry who married Alice Daubert. 6th generation is Robert Forry who married Ella Shadle. 7th generation is Lillian Ferry who married George Hawkins. 8th generation is George R Hawkins who married Helen Bauer. I am the 9th generation, Dolores Hawkins, who married Davidson Whitaker. Hope this helps. Maybe your father knows something about the Dauberts.

Dear Mabel,
It is so nice to hear from you, the Forry picnic is always in September usually the 2nd or 3rd Sunday, this year it was at the Elizabethtown Borough park in Pavillion 2, there were about 150 people there, the pavillion was not large enough for everyone, Albert and Ruth (Smith) Forry, Jim and Edna Forry were there, and your Aunt Stella was there too, 79 years old, she seemed to have enjoyed herself, did you know she is in Heather BAnk Home in Columbia, Grover brought her it was so nice of him.
My dad is doing pretty good for his age, but then he isn't real old either. My Mom died in February 1992 from liver cancer, it was a long 3 year battle with the disease, the funeral service was beautiful, she had it all planned out before she died. Dad got remarried in 1994, to one of Moms best friends and she is a really nice person, would do anything for you if she can.
Please E-mail me your address and I can send you a copy of our side of the family for the Abel Book. Goodnight, Susan E. Forry-Kotzatoski

I also am looking to fill in some gaps in my history. I have some info on a Mary Ellen Forry (or Mary Elise) b 10 Nov. 1855 in Silver Creek, Illinois (near Freeport). Parents were Abraham and Elizabeth Forry (both born abt 1806) in Lower Windsor Township, PA. The family moved to Silver Creek, Illinois (near Freeport) in about 1854. Abraham married his second wife Catherine between 1849 and 1853. Abraham had between 14 and 17 children with his 2 wives. I believe it is possible that your Mary Ellen Forry was the sister to my GGrandfather James Forry, the youngest of the children.
