Abstract:
Jacob Forney Sr. was born in Alsace, a small region in eastern France, in 1721 and arrived in Philadelphia in 1739. He moved south and landed in what is now Lincoln County in 1754. During conflict with Native Americans, Forney gained a favorably reputation across the territory. His sons Jacob, Abram and Peter carried on the legacy both in military actions and politics. The Forney Family's local fame ended in 1834 when many of the siblings moved away to Alabama.
