The name Forbush is not believed to be in New England prior to 1681 when Daniel Forbush and wife Deborah appear in Marlborough. But from Cambridge records (p. 2:135), Daniel Farrabas m. 27 Mar 1660 Rebecca Perriman and Daniel Farrabas m. (2) Cambridge 22 May 1679 Deborah Ridiatt. Daniel "Farabush" Sr. d. Marlborough in Oct. 1687 per Marlborough VRs (p. 358). So this appears to all be the same Daniel, father of Thomas Forbush.
