In a sketch written by Miss Malvina Forman (dau of David):
"My dear father was born in New Jersey, Nov 3 1745. His parents were Joseph Forman and Elizabeth Lee. His father was a wealth shipping merchant of New York, afterwards retired from business, and settled on one of his farms in Monmouth Co, N.J. My father was educated at Princeton College; my mother was born Maryland, Dec 3, 1751. On the 28th of Feb, 1767, my father was married to Miss Ann Marsh (daughter of Thomas Marsh, Esq. of Maryland) by the Rev. William Tennent In consequence of my grandmother's death (Mrs. Thomas Marsh), my parents were married in Princeton, at the house of Ezekiel Forman, Esq, the elder brother of my father, who married my mother's elder and only sister. I think my father left Monmouth, where he resided during the Revolution, on the 5th of February, 1794, and removed to Chestertown, Md. Gen. Forman left his own house in Chestertown, Sep 10, 1796 in order to attend to a large landed estate which he owned at Natchez, Miss."
