Mary was the wife of John Forman , "Long-standing family tradition tells us her maiden name was Hogan, but there is no conclusive evidence of it. Very few references to the name Hogan can be found in regional records. In one, a Thomas Hogan is named as an executor to the estate of Richard Boyce on September 3, 1790. Richard’s son, Nicholas Boyce, married John Foreman’s daughter Nancy. Mary may have been related to this man. Or her name may have been Houghland. On August 12, 1762, a Richard Houghland sold Lot #23, which was across the South Branch River from Benjamin Foreman, Sr.’s Lot #22, to John Foreman. Houghland came into the land via a Fairfax grant dated August 7, 1748. On June 22, 1669, John Foreman and John Houghland served as witnesses to a deed executed between John’s brother William and their nephew John Foreman. Could either of these Houghland men be Mary’s father or brother? We may never know."53 ohn Foreman’s will was written in Bourbon County, Kentucky on October 6, 1808, and his estate was sold on January 20, 1809. So he clearly died sometime between those two dates. His final resting place is unknown, but Bourbon County historian Edna Talbot Whitley gives reason to believe that he and other family members may be buried in a large cemetery in North Middletown “where numbers of unrelated and related families from Hampshire are buried.” She reports that this burial ground “may have been set aside for the use of the members of this Methodist church [the Pleasant Green Church]. It is on land formerly owned by John Forman, father of the preacher [William Foreman] January Court 1812
