No. 58
Edward Forman claims a tract of land, quantity not mentioned, on Bayou Queue de Tortue, by purchase of an Indian named Ashnoya, 11th Jan, 1802. The notice is unaccompanied by any evidence or document title, except the deed of sale from said Indian, passed before Louis C.DeBlanc, acting as commandant of Attakapas, stipulating that the land shall extend from one small bayou to another, where the said Indian should set pickets: it being part of the land which the seller inherited from his father, for which he was to receive from the claimant eight cows with their calves, and a beef, to be paid as soon as the boundaries should be fixed. For reasons given in reported No. 1, of Opelousas claims, this is reported as a claim which, in the opinion of the Commissioners, ought not to be confirmed.

Notes:

Nancy said to have married Jonathan Rucker - (born 1764 South Carolina - died 16 Apr 1823 Natchez MS)
unsourced tree on web says married Edward Jr. 8 May 1789 and Rucker on 3 Dec 1798 but those dates are not consistent with recorded info on the children.

must be a different Nancy Perry.
http://records.ancestry.com/Jonathan_Rucker_records.ashx?pid=5504551

says Rucker children (these conflict with children of Ed Forman Jr.):
Sarah Rucker b 1796
Peter 1798
Magdaline 1800
Daniel 1802
Susannah 1804
William 1806
Jonathan 1809



According to Steve Forman, Nancy was supposed to have been "an older lady."

Anna Perry - of Virginia, Presbyterian (John & Penelope Perry)

My GGGrandfather, William Thomas Perry, had a sister Nancy Anna Perry who married Edward Foreman, and the children I have listed are Isaac Foreman and Julia Ann Winnie Foreman. Isaac married Susan Spell and Julia married Thomas Henry Hoffpauir. That's all of the children of Nancy Anna and Edward that I have since they are both in my line.
My family is from the Indian Bayou, Vermillion Parish, area.
Nice meeting you.

Birth:
PERRY, Ann - a native of the North "una muger adulta" [an adult woman] (John PERRY) bt. 21 Nov. 1801 at age 30 years; Grandparents' names are unknown. Spons: Victor RICHARD & Marie VASSEUR. (Editor's note: The very next entry is the baptism of Julie FORMAN, daughter of Edward FORMAN & Anne PERRY.) Fr. Louis BUHOT (Opel. Ch.: v.1-kA, p266)

Notes:

Married:
Foreman, Edouard, Presbyterian (Edouard & Rebecca Ravcoe of Virginia, all Presbyterians) m. 08 May 1798 Anna Perry, a Lutheran.

PERRY, Anna - of Virginia, a presbyterian (John & Penelope PERRY) m. Tuesday, 8 May 1798 Edward FOREMAN - single; a Presbyterian (Edward & Rebecca RANOE(?) - of Virginia, Presbyterians) Wits: Marguerite KREBS GRADENIGO [signs clearly "KREBS"], Jean GRADENIGO. Fr. Pedro de ZAMORA (Opel. Ch.: Marriages v. 1-B, 1787-1830,p.2)

note by ss: At the time of this marriage in 1798 there were three children already born, Julia age 9; Nathan Ephraim age 5, and Raquel age 1.
Julia's and Raquel's birth records in SW Louisiana records say they were children of Edward & Rebecca Rascoe; however, they would have been grandparents instead of parents. Edward Jr. was already 40 by the time Julia was born and 42 when Raquel was born; so it's highly unlikely they were his sisters. Dates of continuity of baptisms conclude they were daughters of Edward Jr. & Anna Perry.

Some believe they were children of a previous marriage; however it seems that they were indeed Anna's children. On their marriage day 8 May 1798, the baby Raquel, 1 y.o., was also baptized.
They had another child Isaac Pierre in 1799. Then on Nov 21, 1801, Nancy Anna herself, the baby Pierre, abt 2, and the two older Julia and Nathan Ephraim were baptized at ages 12 and 8 respectively were baptized together.
Their marriage record stated Edward Forman was single - indicating this was his first marriage.

Notes:

Forman, Ephrem m Elizabeth Brown (Opel Ch)


"I have this couple listed in my gen database as Joseph Ephriam Foreman, Sr., and Mary Elizabeth Brown. He was the son of Edward Foreman, Sr., and Mary Burnett. Her parents are unknown. Ephriam m. 2nd Charlotte Gaskins.

"I do not believe either Ephriam or Elizabeth was born in Opelousas. The reported birth places of their children are VA or NC, NC, and SC. It appears that Ephriam did not arrive in MS Territory until the last couple of years of the 18th century or the first couple of the 19th.

"From what little data I have on the early Foremans, it appears that they did not move to LA until the early 1780s. Before then, some of them had been in the Natchez area for an unknown time. I don't know if Ephriam ever moved to LA. Some of the Foremans stayed in MS; some who came to LA went back to MS."
