John Foreman came to Pitt County at about age 25 with his wife, Mary Lawrence, of Norfolk, VA where he purchased 100 acres of land on the south side of the Tar River, near present day Greenville, NC. John continued to purchase land, and he prospered. By 1810 had acquired 24 slaves to work his plantation called "Greenwreath".
The couple would become parents of two known children: Robert Richard Foreman (1779-1809), and Ivey Foreman (1783-1832).
John was widowed in about 1811 when his wife of 34 years died. He followed 7 years later, passing in 1818 at about age 63. His wife is reportedly buried here as well.
Upon his death, "Greenwreath" was willed to to his only surviving son, Ivey Foreman.
