The Michael M. Foreman Family Home Page

I am searching the FORMAN/FOREMAN FAMILY that settled In Hampshire County VA (now WV) circa 1745. Benjamin Forman was the first, and came to the South Branch of the Potomac River with the Van Meter Family. They may have come from Freehold, NJ and this is part of the information I need. A Thomas Forman lived in NJ and married Mary Wooley Allen. They had a son Benjamin who was mentioned in Thomas'will that was probated in 1723 in NJ. Benjamin Forman married Elizabeth Hamilton and died in 1749. They had children: Benjamin, Jr., John,James, William, Thomas, Aaron, Ann, Margaret. By the 1790's most of these children migrated to Kentucky.
I am also searching the EVANS Family that came to Hardy Co, VA (
now WV) circa 1795-1800. First known was a Benjamin Evans
who is listed on 1850 Census as being born in PA. WHo were his
parents? He married Priscilla Bosley and they both died in Hardy
or Grant County, WV. They had one known son, Abraham. They may
also have been the parents of a Jacob Evans and Edward (NED)
Evans. I have much information on the descendants of these
3 men but have no verification that they were brothers or who
the parents of the father, Benjamin were.

I have some information on the following names also that I will
gladly from share: KESSEL from Hardy County WV from 1790; Sine
from VA and WV from 1800; Whitacre from Loudoun County and
Frederick County, VA from 1800 to present.

I am a clerk of the Winchester Circuit Court and have much information on the history of Frederick County, VA and the City of Wincehster. I also wrote a History of the Nurses' Training School at Winchester Memorial Hospital, 1903-1964 which has the names of over 600 graduates, teachers and physicians. I will gladly share any information I have on local history and gladly assist those needing specific information from the Frederick County Clerk's Office or the Winchester Clerks Office.I hve taught graduate classes in local history for the teachers of the local school systems.
