"The Forman Genealogy"
Genealogy of the Forman Family of Monmouth County, New Jersey, descended from Robert Forman who died in 1671.
By far the most thorough researches that have been made in the history of this family were mde by Mr. William Henry Forman of New York City, whom credit is due for the information here presented proving that the Forman family of Monmouth Co, New Jersey is descended from Robert Forman, an Englishman who settled in Long Island and died in 1671."
pg 62


Robert Forman, who died at Oyster Bay, Long Island, in 1671, was one of the eighteen Englishmen who founded Flushing, Long Island, under Dutch authority in 1645. He afterwards lived in Hempstead and at Oyster Bay, and served as magistrate in each town. The record of his will and of deeds amoung the Oyster Bay records at Jamaica, Long Island, and the published Documents relating to the colonial History of New York, together with the New Jersey records, published and unpublished, tombstones and family Bibles, -- all these enable the history of the famiy to be clearly traced. Robert had three sons, one of whom was named Aaron. Aaron Forman had four sons, one of whom was named Samuel.

-----------------
from Thomas Halloway's paper on the Forman Family.

Robert Forman first set foot in the New World in 1645, in the Dutch territory called the New Netherlands (present day New York). On October 10, 1645, the Governor General of that province, on behalf of Frederick Hendrick, the Prince of Orange, granted a charter to eighteen Englishmen to settle a tract of land on what is now called Long Island. These English patentees, including one ?Robert ffirman,? were given the authority to ?build a Towne, or Townes, wth such necessary ffortifications, as to them shall seeme Expedient; and to have and Enjoy the Liberty of Conscience, according to the Custome and manner of Holland, without molestacon or disturbance, from any Magistrate or Magistrates, or any other Ecclesiasticall Minister, that may extend Jurisdiction over them? and ?to have and enjoy the free Liberty of Hawking, Hunting, ffishing, ffowling within their abovesd Limitts, And to use and Exercise all manner of Trade and Commerce . . . as if they were Natives of the United Belgick Provinces.? The new townsmen would call their settlement Flushing, after the place where some of them initially sought refuge from ecclesiastical persecution at the hands of the English church.

Robert and family spent more than a decade in Flushing, but by 1658 were living in the nearby town of Hempstead. We know this because on March 5 of that year he served as a magistrate there. Later that year, in a letter dated December 9, Governor Peter Stuyvesant appointed Robert to serve as one of two Hempstead magistrates for the following year.

from Thomas Halloway's paper on Forman History.

The Foremans are of English extraction. Their known roots reach to Lincolnshire, in eastern England.
A William Forman, found in records of Gainsborough in Lincolnshire, was the father of

Sir William Forman, a haberdasher whom King Henry VIII made High Sheriff of London in 1533. On October 18, 1537, he was knighted, and in 1538 served as Lord Mayor of London (the ceremonial head of London?s commercial center). He also served as a Member of Parliament. Sir William Forman died on January 13, 1547, and was buried at the Church of St. George on Botolph Lane in London.

He left several sons, the eldest of whom was also named William. The younger William was a merchant in London during the early part of his life, but later returned to Lincolnshire.

He had several sons, one of whom was named Robert. This Robert also had several sons, including one named WILLIAM who became a vicar in Buckinghamshire.

This Reverend WILLIAM had a son named Robert, who probably was born in Lincolnshire about 1605. This man, Robert Forman, is the family?s American progenitor.
