The first ‘Forman’ in America is an Englishman named Robert Engle Forman who arrived with his wife, Johanna Pore, in 1645. Robert and the 12 generations that follow him are well documented and undisputed – but the 4 preceding English generations are a bit in question.
Robert & Johanna Forman are my 10th great-grandparents. This is Robert’s will and the inventory of Johanna’s property when she died intestate.
Robert Forman was my 10th great-grandfather. These references all come from the Book of Purposes, Court of Assize in Oyster Bay, NJ.
