Notes |
- On the 25 of May, 1785, he signs pledging his support of another child of Hannah Osburn named Emma. It seems that he may have fathered Emma and another child with a different woman at about the same time. The other child was Delia, daughter of Elizabeth Price. I do not know what happened to Elizabeth Price. I have not found a marriage record for her to Thomas M. Forman, but Delia was the socially acknowledged child. It seems he may have raised her. Maybe her mother died or maybe they married for a short time and then she died. At any rate, he married Martha Ogleman in 1814. Martha kept a diary. It is in the series of microfilmed records called Ante-Bellum Southern Plantations from the Revolutionary though the Civil War.Series D, Martha Forman Diaries, 1814-1860, Cecil County, Maryland. In the diary, Martha gushes over Delia's children and calls them their grandchildren, but never let's her diary audience know the relationship to Sarah's children.
