I have found 2 Henry Forson's in Ashland, KY for the 1880 cenus and both came from the same area in Minden, Germany (Minden is a town in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. It is the capital of the district of Minden-Lübbecke.) My grandfather was born in 1851 the other Henry was born in 1841. From all I gather the one born in 1841 and his family moved away from the Ashland, KY area sometime after this cenus. Not sure but thinking Missouri?

My great grandfather was Caspar Henry Vahrson changed to Forson was married to Mary (I don't know her surname I think she arrived on the same ship as Caspar in Baltimore)(she supposedly immigrated from Hamburg, Germany she was his first wife they had 4 children) he then married a woman named Celeste Miller and adopted her 2 children Clyde & Naomi. Whereas the other Henry had 8 children 4 boys 4 girls his wife's name was Sophia I can find nothing about this family of Forson or what happened to them. Your help would be appreciated.
