My line George E. Forbis or Forbush is tied into the Morgan Bryan family
from Maryland, Pa, Virginia, and North Carolina, George died in 1768 in
Rowan County (now Yadkin County) North Carolina. George has been very
elusive in his early years. We could very well be from the French side
of the family. Do you know if there are any Forbush that came in from
Denmark? I have lots of information on George and his family. We were
early settlers in Pa., Va., Maryland, NC., Kentucky and Missouri. I have
always thought that we were from the Forbush clan in Scotland and Ireland,
and exiled to Europe and then to this country.

Thank you very much Pat. I have several George's in my Forbush line. Our
eariliest known
ancestor from Northumberland is WIlliam, We believe his father was Andrew
but can't prove it at this point. WIlliam was born in Northumberland, Va.
between 1750-1755. He married Catherine Harcum in 1792. Their children were

Thomas, William, Hiram, and George. I have a great deal of information on
these
lines.

I am from the George E. Forbush (Forbis) line b. unknown 1670 -1700 d. 1769
North Carolina. George and wife Olif (Olive) Forbush lived in Orange County
that became Augusta County in 1745. On 12 Jan 1746/7 he Received a patent
for 400 acres in Augusta County "on the North Branch of Shanando in the Gap
of the mountains on the east side of Beaver Dam Run."
This location is probably Brock's Gap in present-day Rockingham County.
It is a pass; here the North Fork of the Shenandoah cuts through Little
North Mountain about five miles west of the village of Broadway.
Hope this helps.

Scottish Information Society request and information

confido@ix.netcom.com — 2006-03-22T09:24:46-06:00

Dear Clan Representatives:

The Scottish Information Society (SIS), formed 1987, is comprised of and exists
in support of those who volunteer their time at the clan tents, working events at
various venues. One member delegate from each Clan, House or Scottish Society is
invited to join to represent their officially recognized clan/society organization.

We are in the process of revamping our web site http://www.scottishinfo.org It
is currently off line, however, it is our hope to have it back up and functional
before the end of April. We hope to include many helpful elements for the public
to view. Currently one of the major projects in process is a comprehensive games
listing for all 50 US states. In future, we hope to be able to add an International
games listing.

I would appreciate it if you would email me directly at confido@ix.netcom.com with:

the most current contact information for your Clan, especially:

the name of your Chief

the names and contact information for those that convene your tents or are area
commissioners

the name and contact information for your genealogist(s)

the name and contact information for your clan historian(s)

the name and contact information for your editor(s)

the name of your clan newsletter and frequency of publication

the URL/information re your clan's official discussion group... is it this list
at Rootsweb? or is it different?

the name and contact information for whoever may be in charge of your DNA project

the URL for your clan's OFFICIALLY sanctioned website -- sorry no personal or non-sanctioned
sites can be linked

Additonally, SIS, will have a tent at the upcoming Sacramento Valley (California)
Caledonia Club Games, in Woodland, California, at the end of April. If you will
send some information regarding your clan, we will be pleased to have it on hand,
whether or not your representative is able to attend and host a tent at the event.

We would also appreciate your mailing a copy or copies of your newsletter, in order
that we may share with the public part of what your clan has to offer to its members.

If you manage, sponsor or sanction DNA projects for your clan, please mail information
regarding the project(s) and we will make it available at the tent for those interested.

Also, for those of you interested, there is a Scot DNA project that all Scots and
Scot Clans are welcome to join or share DNA results with, no matter which service
you used. John Hansen is the Project Manager. You will find more information about
this project at http://www.scottishdna.net and also in the Scot-DNA@rootsweb.com
list archives. Details re that list will be found here: http://lists.rootsweb.com/index/intl/SCT/SCOT-DNA.html

Write me off list and I will provide the postal mailing addresss for receipt of
your printed materials.

Thank you. And thanks to all of your volunteers which give so generously and unselfishly
of their time to share with and educate the public about your Clan's history and
that of Scotland. It is they who keep the tradtions alive.

Suas Alba!

Yours Aye,

NB. I add this bit of information due to the responses I received
in my first round of posting:

This message is not misdirected, but rather has been sent to
all the clan lists at Rootsweb in attempt to most expediently
reach those involved with and representing their Scottish clan
in some official capacity. You have received it as you are
subscribed to at least one of them.

Please understand that due to the shear magnitude of the number
of recipients, I cannot respond to friendly notes that include
genealogical information and queries that may be triggered by
my post. Please do post to the list and also consider joining
and becoming active in your Scottish clan's organization.

Jacki,

I would love to help you out if I can. Do you have any more you could add? Where were James and Margaret living, and what time frame? Do you have any parents or other siblings for James?
