- "He accompanied his cousin Ezekiel Forman when the latter removed to the Natchez country in 1789 and in his later years wrote an account of the expedition, which was published in the Historical Magazine for December 1869 with notes by Charles C. Dawson. In 1888 it was printed from a slightly different version, and abridged as a "Narrative of a Journey down the Ohio and Mississippi," in a small volume edited by Dr. Lyman C. Draper, who had apparently not seen the eaerlier appearance of the work. It is a very interesting account of travel in the then west, and is otherwise valuable. In the "Narrative," Major Forman refers to his cousin as "uncle" on account of the difference in their ages. In a private letter Major Forman stated that there were no less than twelve Samuel Formans living in Monmouth Co at the same time -- the latter part of the eighteenth century; and to avoid confusion each assumed the name of his father as a middle name."

"this is borne out as to Jonathan Forman, by his papers and his brother Samuel's statement who said he was at monmouth, Germantown, and the other principal engagements of the war, fighting in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and virginia, being present at Cornwallis' capitulation and sharing the trials of Valley Forge; in short, being his part in every engatement where Washington commanded.
