Biography
Ruhamah's brother, James, left a legacy for her son, John Forsyth. So we know that she married a man with the last name of Forsyth, but his first name has not yet been ascertained.
John Forsyth, her son, was a land surveyor in Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, and shows up on various tax lists for this county. On April 8, 1785, John was nominated to be Deputy Surveyor for York County, Pennsylvania. John resided in Carlisle.
Benjamin Chambers, Ruhamah's brother, named one of his daughters Ruhamah.
It's not known yet when or where Ruhamah died.
