Notes for Mary Foreman:
MARY FOREMAN in Stephen Foreman's notes to the Princeton Seminary Alumni he states that "my Father was said to be a Scotchman, originally from Philadelphia, that he left school or college with other young men about the commencement of the Revolutionary War and came among the Cherokees. His oldest son by his first wife among the Cherokees, was named John, who was born about the year 1780. I am the only son or child living of my Father's, and I am his son by his second wife. My father died October 17th, 1817 in what is now East Tennessee. My Father told Mother he had a sister names Polly or Mary, living in Philadelphia or Pennsylvania, who was married to a man named Wolfe. The question is, are there any city records to show any of these things and will you make, if you please, some inquiries about these things and let me know at your earliest convenience?" Notes from Stephen Foreman 12/8/1881
I found a marriage record on the internet at ancestry.com where a Mary FORDMAN married a Henry WOLFE on December 13, 1778 at the Swedes' Church (Gloria Dei.), Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Volume I, Record of Pennsylvania Marriages Prior to 1810. I contacted the church and there is no further information recorded or listed on the records. This could be John's sister. 10/1998
In a biological database at ancestry.com it states that Mary FORDMAN was born 175? in Pennsylvania.
