    Notes:

    "As not only all his (Samuel Forman) immediate family, but all of their connections 9save two) were said to be of the strong Whig principles, it is not strange that his elder son Jonathan should have run away from Princeton college at the age of seventeen to joint the company marched from Middletown Point -- "to the tune of Duncan Davie" -- on its way to join the American Army on Long Island. This is family tradition, but to come to the records, his Captains commission (now in pssession of his great grandson Hon. Horatio Seymour, of Marquette, Michigan, his successor in the New jersey State Soiety of the Cincinnati) is signed by General Washington, Nov 23rd 1776.

    "it was always told with pride by his daughter and only surviving child, Mrs. Henry Seymour, that Washington, who commanded in person, upon meeting her father there after so many years of peace, embraced him with much feeling, exclaiming "Colonel Forman! always first in the field!"

    Notes:

    bro of Jonathan Forman:
    see: http://www.archive.org/stream/threerevolutiona00form#page/20/mode/2up ...
    "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.

    Other-Begin:
    "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."
