Robert,

Did you get a reply for this request?

I only found 1 child named John FORBES that is the correct age for
your John, in the 1870 VA index.
Don't know if this is your John's parents. What census information
do you already have about Quincy FORBES? Do you know if he
had a son named Robert?

<< I have been researching my family and have run into a wall.
My grandfather was Irvin B. Forbes,my
great grandfather was John Allen Forbes
who was born in 1864.His father I thought was Yuemsy "Quincy"
Forbes;however after checking the census in Alleghany and Botetourt
counties it appears Quincy was Johns grandfather.
What I am trying to find out is;who was Johns father and mother;and who
were the parents of Yuemsy"Quincy" Forbes?
Any assistance you could provide would be greatly appreciated.
Sincerely;
Robert "Buddy' Forbes; >>
