  • Notes 
    • He purchased land in the Wyoming Valley of PA under the CT title, and who in the Wyoming massacre lost everything he owned, escaping with his own life and the lives of his family. The family subsequently returned to Wyoming, where they remained until peace was declared. Then they removed to Towanda, PA, and thence up the Susquehanna river to Choconut, NY, which was a little distance above the present village of Union on the easterly side of the river. The Forsyths afterward removed to Geneva, where Jonathan Forsyth died in 1788.
