U.S. Census, 8 Jun 1880, of Lee County, Texas E.D. 93, line 41 shows the following:
M.E. Forbes, Age 46, Female, born N.C., Father born N.C. & Mother born N.C. Fanny Stephens, Age 19, Daughter, born Alabama, Father born N.C., Mother born N.C. Lula Forbes, Age 18, Daughter, born Texas G.W. Forbes, Age 16 Son, born Texas J.D. Forbes, Age 12, Son, born Texas J.A. Forbes, Age 10, Son, born Texas L. Forbes, Age 6, Dau, born Texas W.O. Stephens, Age 1, Grandson, born Texas, Father born Georgia, Mother born Alabama.
According to Lamonte Tyler, Frances may have died in Oklahoma. Birth information based on the 22 Aug 1870 U.S. Census of Burleson County, Texas, Blue Branch Francis is understood to have died after giving birth to daughter, Lola Mae Tyler.
When visiting the cemetery where the Tylers are buried there is also a George Goodman b. Jan 4, 1833 d. FEb. 8, 1879, on a stone that has "Forbes" at the base and Fannie Goodman b. August 8, 1802 and d. FEb. 28, 1875 so there must be a connection to the Forbes, perhaps Goodman was Fannie's maiden name.[JForbes.FTW]
