Parentage of Agnes Laforce

Agnes LaForce, who married John Mahan in Botetourt County, Virginia on 21 June 1778 [Source: Early Marriages, Wills and some Revolutionary War Records, Botetourt County, Virginia, Compiled by Anne Lowry Worrell, pg. 30]. is a very probable daughter of Rene LaForce, Sr. of Botetourt County, Virginia. She was likely named after her [probable] mother, Agnes.

Her eldest son, born shortly after her 1st marriage with John Mahan was appropriately named Rene Laforce Mahan.

Rene LaForce, Sr. had two other children, and a grandson with documented marriages in Botetourt County, Virginia. [Source: Early Marriages, Wills and some Revolutionary War Records, Botetourt County, Virginia, Compiled by Anne Lowry Worrell, pg. 28].

Moncier LaForce, who married Catherine Sutherland, daughter of James Sutherland on Dec. 12, 1802.
Rene LaForce, Jr., who married Anne Robinson on March 10, 1774.
William LaForce, who married Sarah Goodwin on July 11, 1791. [Note: William was the son of Samuel LaForce, eldest son of Rene LaForce, Sr.]

This is the only known LaForce family in the Botetourt County, Virginia area during this timeframe, to the knowledge of this researcher.
