  • The location of the marriage to Benjamin Haws in 1761 has been assigned to Burke County, North Carolina. This is incorrect since Burke County was not established until 8 Apr 1777. Assuming that the location is in what is NOW Burke County, the correct location in 1761 would have been Rowan County.
  • The only record of the marriage of Rebecca Haws to James Forgy found so far indicates that the marriage occurred in "of KY".

James Forgy was born 1752 in Northern, Ireland, died 28 May 1828 in Berry's Lick, Logan, Kentucky, and was buried in the Askew burial ground. He came to America with his parents around 1765-68.
He married ca 1780 in Rowan County, North Carolina to a widow, Rebecca Clements (Clemons) Haws, daughter of Jacob Clemons and Mary Campbell. She was born in 1742 Augusta County, Virginia, died in July 1822, and was buried in the family cemetery near Berry's Lick, Butler County, Kentucky. Her first husband, Benjamin Haws, died about 1774 in Rowan County, North Carolina, leaving her with three sons.
In the 1790 census, James Forgy and his family, which consisted of three males in the household over sixteen years of age, three males under sixteen, and four females were living in Morgan District Company 4, Burke County, North Carolina. He left North Carolina circa 1790-94 with his family and started on the long road to Kentucky. They probably took the regular route of the early settlers to Cumberland Gap, then turned southward coming by the way of Tennessee through Nashville, then to Logan County, Kentucky, settling near Barry's Lick , which is located between Lewisburg and Quality.
In 1807, he, with others in the community, bought from Moses Reed, two acres of land to build a Presbyterian Meeting House. This was the Caney Fork Presbyterian Church which is still in existence. It was located about two miles from his farm. He and his wife are listed in the minutes of this church as original members. He was also an elder in the church. In June 1810, James was appointed to be one of the Commissioners of the Tax to represent the District of William Carson. On September 1, 1813 James Forgy, Samuel McReynolds, Jacob D. Chenoweth, Abner Womack and Richard Dellium bought land from William Carson to establish a Union Church. This church was located a few miles from Caney Fork in Butler County. It was named Concord probably for the Old Concord Presbyterian Church in Campbell County, Virginia. This church is still in existence, and is located near Quality, Kentucky.
