    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.

    Edward married Nancy Anna Perry on 8 May 1798 in Opelousas, St. Landry Parish, Louisiana. Nancy (daughter of John Perry and Mrs. Penelope C. (..) Perry) was born in 1771 in Virginia; was christened on 21 Nov 1801 in Opelousas, St. Landry Parish, Louisiana; died in 1864. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

    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.

    Children:
    1. Julia Ann "Winnie" Forman was born in 1789; was christened on 21 Nov 1801 in Opelousas, St. Landry Parish, Louisiana; died after 1823.
    2. Nathan Ephraim (Joachim) Forman was born in 1793; was christened on 21 Nov 1801 in Opelousas, St. Landry Parish, Louisiana; died after 1830.
    3. Raquel (Rachel) Forman was born on 16 May 1797 in Opelousas, St. Landry Parish, Louisiana; was christened on 08 May 1798 in Opelousas, St. Landry Parish, Louisiana; died after 1798.
    4. Isaac Pierre Forman was born in 1799 in Opelousas, St. Landry Parish, Louisiana; was christened on 21 Nov 1801 in Opelousas, St. Landry Parish, Louisiana; died after 1860.

    Notes:

    By Henry Chandlee Forman, Ph.D.
    The Formans of England-
    For more than six hundred years, from the earliest records of the family in Lincolnshire, England, to the present day, the spelling of the name Forman has been unchanged. In 1316 land in Lincolnshire was granted to one Ralph Forman; in 1373 Thomas Forman, and 1375 Robertus Forman, a juror, were inhabitants of this county. In the Lincolnshire Rebellion of 1536 Robert Forman gave five marks to the rebels.[Lincolnshire Notes and Queries, vol. 11, p. 249; vol. 18, p. 58; Linc. Rec. Soc. vol. 30, pp. 77, 87, 227]. All through the fifteenth, sixteenth, and seventeenth centuries there were Formans living in England, chiefly in Lincolnshire, according to the records.
    The most distinguished member of the family seems to have been Sir William Forman, Knight, Lord Mayor of London, a native of Gainsborough, Lincolnshire. He was the son of William Forman, a yeoman of Gainsborough. His sister, Elizabeth Forman, married Morice Morgan.
    Sir William Forman was Knighted on October 18, 1537, and was an Alderman in Parliament form Cripplegate Ward in the City of London from 1529 to 1545. He was High Sheriff of London in 1533 and Lord Mayor from 1538 to 1539. During a Muster of Citizens in 1539 he rode in a procession and carried a coat of black velvet embroidered with a cross; on his head was a black velvet cap with a rich jewel; and about him rode four footmen apparelled in satin hose and fine white silk.
    By trade Sir William Forman was a haberdasher. In 1544 he, with others, leased from King Henry VIII the Manor of Tullesworth in Surrey. In the same year, on August 30, he married Blanche Palmer, a widow, of London. He died on January 13, 1547, and was buried in the Church of Saint George, Botolph Lane, in East Cheapside, London. A monument was erected there to his memory.
    His great grandson, Robert Forman went to Amersterdam and received the Charter for Flushing, New Amersterdam, which is now Queens, New York. The Forman family flurished and soon spread to New Jersey, Pennsylvannia, Virginia, and Kentucky. They followed the migration patterns to North and South Carolina and on down to Louisiana and Mississippi Territories.
    In the Natchez area, they formed the Forman Colony, and brought the first four-wheeled cart to the Mississippi Territory.
    The Spanish Census of 1790 shows George "Jorge" Forman and family next to William "Guillermo" Irwin. They were settled on the Sara Bayou and Coles Creek area.

Hoffpauir said the land had been occupied by Foreman "more than 30 years ago, for several years;" that after the sale to Richard, "Primo occupied same on Richard's account for 2 or 3 years., after which Foreman was employed to tend Richard's cattle, where he resided and cultivated for 5 successive years."

    "We whose names or marks are here unto set and subscribed, being settlers and inhabitants on Lake Ponchartrain between the Bayou La Combe and the River Tanchipaho, do herby acknowlege ourselves to be natives as well as true and faithful subjects to the United Independent States of North America.
    An whereas on the tenth day of last month, William Pickles, captain of the navy of the said States, did arrive in this lake and made prize of the English armed sloop, West Florida, wh had kept possession of the lake for near two years before, and the said William Pickles, Esquire, did on the twenty first of the same month, land some of his people, and take possession of this settlement and gave us all the protection against indians and others that his force would admit of, and suffered us to remain on our possessions till further orders; we, therefore, consider ourselves belonging to the said States, and are willing to remain here and enjoy our property and priviledges under them, the said United States. October 16, 1779."

    Occupation:
    August 18 1758, Noted in South Caroline Gazette as 'master of the Brig Pretty Peggy'(From further research- which was found on a Google search and one for the "Clark Family"(clark@ems.psu.edu), I found this Edward Foreman, born 1717 at Margate Kent, England. Died on Ship "Pretty Peggy 1759 at the age of 42. - Another entry, his father: John Foreman b. 1616 Margate Kent, England; d. January 1760(84 yrs) buried 25 January 1760). Perhaps this is the same John Foreman who brought prisoners, bonded people, etc from Ipswich England to the Colonies-as noted in many entries of the Ship Henry & Francis-Including Scots who had been convicted mainly because of their religious beliefs.)
    In 1685 there is a posting of the Ship Henry and Francis of NewCastle bringing in Passengers to Perth Amboy, NJ mid December 1685-Included on the list is a John Foreman who was banished.

    Notes:

    Rascoes of Northampton County Virginia

    By James R. Rasco June 16, 2007 at 05:32:00


    Arthur Rascoe appears to have arrived in Northampton County Virginia in the late 1600s. He was listed on the 1704 rent roll of that county. The wills and administrations of Northampton County Virginia by Whitelaw shows Arthur's name on several will as a witness, heir, executor, ect. Arthur Rascoe signed his own will in 1719, proved in 1720. In his will, Arthur names his wife, Elizabeth, children, and an uncle to his children named Peter Rascoe. Thomas Tarbuck, in his will of 5 January 1712 gives to both Arthur and Peter Rascoe. George Freshwater, who may have been the father of Arthur's second wife Elizabeth, mentions his daughter Elizabeth Rascoe as does Freshwater's wife Elizabeth in her own will. These Freshwaters also mentioned Peter Rascoe. George Freshwater made his will October 26, 1717. John Watts, in his will of 20 September 1715 names a daughter Mary Rascoe and names Arthur Rascoe as executor.
    John Watts' estate was divided between JohnLucas, Andrew Andrews and Arthur Rascoe.

    Sally Moore Koestler on her Web site Sally's family Place shows Mary Watts as the first wife of Arthur Rasco with children: John, Sarah, Lues, Elizabeth, Arthur, and James Rascoe. She shows Arthur's second wife as Elizabeth Freshwater with children William, Peter, and Daniel Rascoe.

    It appears that some if not all of these children or perhaps their children Made their way down into Northeastern North Carolina by the mid to late 1700s settling primarily in Bertie, Tyrrell and Hyde Counties.

    A lot more research is needed on these Rascoes in Virginia especially in Northampton and Accomack Counties and possibly Maryland.

    As Sally Koestler said "This is a work in progress"
