Notes for THOMAS FORMAN:
In the fall of 1789, Thomas Forman, the son of Ezekiel and Elizabeth Seabrooke Forman, removed from New Jersey with his family to what is now Mason County, Kentucky. " The first survey within the bounds of Lewis Co. Ky. was made by Capt. Thos. Bullitt in what has been for seventy-five years known as 'Forman's Bottom.'... Before 1798 Thoomas Forman made a clearing in front of this survey." -Collins Hist. of Ky., vol. 11, p.463
The house which he occupied, built of stone, stands but a short distance from the town of Washington. On a hill in sight of the house is a family burying ground, but many, perhaps most of the family, including Thomas and his wife, lie in the old Baptist cemetery in the town itself. Thomas Forman was a large landowner in Kentucky and a member of the legislature in 1797.
Thomas Forman's sons, except John who removed to Lewis County, lived in Mason Co. Ky. Ezekiel, the eldest, had six sons that grew to manhood. Thomas Seabrooke Forman, the eldest of these, removed to Louisville in 1839, and there lived until his death.......Of the six sons of Joseph Forman, Thomas' second son, the third, George L. Forman was a union man during the Civil War and had two sons in the Union army, but his eldest son, Samuel Tebbs Forman, took the opposite side and was mortally wounded at the battle of shiloh while Adjutant of the 4th Ky. Regiment in the Confederate Army. Samuel, Thomas Forman's youngest son, (excluding one who died in boyhood) was six feet four inches tall and of a most robust constitution whcih served him good stead in the fall and winter of 1814-15 when he served as an ensign (2nd Lieutenant) in a Kentucky regiment at and near Fort Malden, Canada, during the second war with England.
