• It is rumored that Robert Forsythe and as many as 12 brothers in total migrated to USA in 1840's, some settled in US and some in Canada.
* Robert migrated with family to USA and settled in 1847 in now Ontario Canada. Robert (born 1800 Lisburn N Ireland) and wife Elizabeth Jane Jenkins (born 1811),and children: William John 1825, James 1828, John, George, and Margaret 1841. 1850 Census Canada records Robert and son William in Galt Ontario Canada. In 1849, Robert and Elizabeth have the following children: Robert (Junior), followed by, Thomas 1851, Alexander 1853, and 1857 Elizabeth Jane.
* In 1849, son William John Forsythe marries Fidelia Ann Young in Ohio, and they settle in Millbank Ontario, and have the following children: Elizabeth Jane in 1850, and in 1852 Mary Ann. Looking for more info? Daughter Elizabeth Jane (1850) married in 1871 George Henry Milton and they lived in Benton Co MN. Soon followed Father William J and Fidelia Ann Forsythe in 1872. Fidilia dies in USA abt 1889 and William J remains in MN till 1907 when he moves to Manitoba Canada and remarries to Sarah Ann Allwood.
* William J. sister, Margaret (Mary Jane) Forsythe went on to marry William May. May have lived in Toronto or London Area. Looking for more info?
* George Forsythe born in N Ireland, lived in London Ontario area. Looking for more info?
* William John, brother George, and sister Margaret (nee Forsythe) May are in photos owned by daughter, Elizabeth Jane (nee Forsythe) Milton.
* James Forsythe born 1828 in North Ireland. Also looking for more info?
* John Forsythe born in North Ireland. Also looking for more info?
* Alexander Forsythe born in 1853 Ontario Canada and wife Acey Ann moved to Detroit Michigan abt 1884 to work as a machinist with Detroit Bridge and Iron Works. Looking for more info?
* Thomas Forsythe born 1851 marries unknown wife in 1873 Millbank Ontario and son Thomas born 1876. Looking for more information? Thomas is widowed and remarries to Elizabeth Letitia Miller (a widow) in 1889 in Manitoba.
** Looking for any information on "Rumour of 12 brothers" and any possible parent/sibling/children connection of family?
Thanks,
