General Notes: Husband - George Forrest
He was a native of Edinburgh, Scotland, and when but a boy moved with his parents to Penrith, Cumberland, England, and when eighteen years of age he moved to London.
He was born in Penrith, County of Cumberland, England, which county, being on the border, was for a long time claimed by Scotland. [CBRWC, 144]
In 1837 he and his brother Richard set out together with their families for America, and were six weeks crossing the Atlantic in a sailing vessel, which was reported lost. Landing at New York, and their destination became Richmond, Indiana, so they traveled by rail, canal and other modes to Allegheny City, Pennsylvania. Here Richard's wife and two children died and the brothers then concluded to remain at that place. About the year 1847 he and his family moved to Canonsburg, Washington County, and two years later came to Washington borough, where he worked at his trade, tailoring, until about the time of his death, when he was aged sixty-three years. He was liberal of his means and charitably disposed; in politics he was a Democrat, in religion a Presbyterian.
He bought 300 acres of land, on part of which the city of Kittanning, Pennsylvania, now stands, intending to settle there, but the country proved to be so wild he sold it before going to Canonsburg.
