The 1888 plat map shows a cemetery located on J.W.Fourman's farm on Gordon Landis Road. It does not appear to be there any longer. Do you have any knowledge of any burial or burials on the old home place and if so who there idenity was? Thanks for any and all help

RE: last name of Fourman

Interesting to see how many Fourmans are out there. The name is common but spelling is rare.

Im wondering if anyone is related to a Victor Fourman family from Odessa ,coming over to NYC around 1910.

thanks, Jan

Hi, I see you posted this quite some time ago. I will assume you have much more info by now. What I have is Leah Root is the daughter of Samuel Root/Rute. It is spelled Rute on tombstone. Samuel was born 14 May 1897, died 6 Sep 1881 married 15 Sep 1836 to Susannah Friend. She was born 24 Jan 1818 and died 30 Nov.1887. I have down burial wasn't till 7 Dec 1887. I'll assume it was weather related?? Leah's sister Susannah married Jacob Fourman brother to Joseph Fourman, her sister Leah's husband. I did not research more into that line--yet. Samuel Root's parents were John Root 1774-? and Barbara Lane. Susannah Friend's parents were Jacob Friend 1774-aft. 1850 and mother Susannah Smith 1770-1839. I have down Nicolas Friend is the father of Jacob 1733-1821. His wife Maria Elizabeth Beiser 1740-?? I did not research this to say it is correct. I have a George Fourman in my line I have ran into a brick wall with.George Fourman/Fuhrman was born 1799, died 1851 md third time in Montgomery County Ohio to Mary Flory. She was born 1813, died 1863. George's first wife was Regina Steger married March 7 1820 in Lebanon Co. PA, second wife was Catherine Stobmeyer/Stobmayer.He moved to Ohio with Catherine.Does any of this info ring a bell with you? Any help you may give, would be appreciated.

Hello Mary. Leah Fourman married Martin Hofacker and your grandfather was the last child born to them. I am trying to find out more about Samuels family. I know they moved to Owesgo Mi in 1942 and have his childrens names but would like to know more about the family. I sure would like to see a picture of Sam and Emma and the family. I am Martin's g-grandaughter.

Annette,

Is there any chance that the name might have been FUHRMAN? I don't have that line, but have seen it many times in York and Lancaster Cos., PA.

In Montgomery Co., Ohio, marriage ceritificates July 26, 1803 to July 20, 1851, Henry's last name was spelled Furman.

Re: Henry Fourman, Foreman, Forman and etc.

2006-03-23 04:00:00Z

Yes, Johannes Fuhrmann was spelled this way from Lebanon Co., PA. Spelled Fourman in OH. Not sure why all the different spellings, etc.

Re: Henry Fourman, Foreman, Forman and etc.

2006-03-22 15:40:04Z

Delorse,

I have been told that FUHRMAN might have been the spelling of my FOURMAN Family. I know that Henry Fourman and Catherine Rider Fourman came from PA. I think that Catherine came from Mt. Joy. PA. but don't know where Henry came from . I still am interested in finding his parents, brother and sisters. I have been told by a cousin that the spelling of FOURMAN (that is the spelling NOW) was changed but I don't know how.

Re: Henry Fourman 1st

pefpef — 2004-10-09 20:32:39Z

My email address has changed. It is now wasohio2@aol.com
There are several different ways of spelling the name. My cousin said that Henry 2nd changed the spelling of the last name sometime after Sept. 24, 1893, Henry 1st death.

Henry Fourman, Foreman, Forman and etc.

pefpef — 2004-10-09 20:32:39Z

I am the ggg granddaughter of HENRY FOURMAN. I am still looking to find where in PA. he was born and who his parent were. He was born in the year of 1809 and married Catherine Rider March 6, 1834 in MONTOMGERY CO., OHIO. Henry died September 24, 1893 and is buried in the Ithaca Cemetery on SR 503, Darke Co., Ohio. He was a farmer in Twin Twp., Darke Co., Ohio. I understand that Henry's children changed the spelling of FOURMAN( this how we spell it today). On the marriage certificates record in Montogmery Co., Ohio, Henry's last name was spelled FURMAN. Catherine parents are buried in the REIDER CEMETERY, MT. JOY, LANCASTER CO., PA., so maybe Henry came from that area too.

Re: Henry Fourman, Foreman, Forman and etc.

pefpef — 2004-10-09 20:32:39Z

I am very interested in your findings. Please keep me posted.
I have some of those names in my records and I will go through them later. My hsuband just had hip replacement and I am busy with him for awhile.
I have given the GARST MUSEUM a folder on the JOSEPH LEANDER FOURMAN FAMILY which starts with Henry and Catherine Rider Fourman. Thanks again for the information. You can email directif you want to.

Look forward to hearing from you. Do you have info on their children? (Willimin, Sam, Emma ( my great-grandma) and George).

In looking for info on Henry Fourman, born 1850 and married to Marietta Culberston Fourman, I came across your info. My Great-Great Grandma was Lea Fourman who married Martin Hofacker, I believe. Her daughter, Emma Hofacker Michael was my great grandmother on my mother's side. Do you have info, pictures, etc. on the Fourman side? I'm also looking for info on the Hofacker family since we now farm their farm. Is this Henry Fourman related to the Henry Fourman born 1859? Also, the Jacob Fourman, Samuel, and Susane Fourman related who owned the farm on Alt St Rt 49 East? Please respond.

MaryOHara500 — 2004-07-02 03:36:13Z

I am the gggranddaughter of Henry Foreman. Although I don't have hard proof yet, I think that his family came from Manheim Township in York County PA. I'm pretty sure that the name is German...Fuhrman. (You'll find them on the census records til 1790) A Jacob and a Henry Foreman each got Ohio Land Patents in 1833, 1835 & 1837 near each other and were 74 and 62 respectively in 1850 Darke Co census.They're probably our Henry's dad/uncle. There's 6 folders on the Fourman family at the Garst Museum in Greenville, Ohio. I haven't been there, but there's probably much of interest. Leah Fourman (Henry & Catharine's daughter) married a German immigrant to Darke county named Matt Hofacker who had my grandpa Samuel Hofacker. I have a hunch that Jacob, Peter and George Foreman were all cousins or brothers of Henry...you'll find them all on the 1850 census.

I KNOW THAT ADOPTION RECORDS ARE CONFIDENTIAL, BUT I JUST WANT TO KNOW THE MEDICAL HISTORY. IF ANYONE HAS INFORMATION, PLEASE CONTACT ME AT KADZ24@AOL.COM
