General Notes: Husband - David Forster


of Derry, Lancaster (later Dauphin) County, Pennsylvania. This appears by the will of David Forster, dated September 2, 1745, and recorded in Lancaster County. It is believed, though not certainly known to be a fact, that David Forster, with some of his family, came from the North of Ireland about the year 1733, with the Scotch-Irish immigration of that period, and was among the first settlers of Donegal, Derry and Paxtang.

In religious faith and belief the Forsters were strict Scotch-Irish Presbyterians.
