Forrest-2149 lists only son of Shadrach Forrest as Jehiel Forrest. Forrest-2765 lists only son of Shadrach Forrest as Nathan Forrest.
It is quite possible that Shadrach was the father of both Jehiel and Nathan, but evidence is lacking.
I rejected the unmerged Match of 2149 and 2765 because there are merges proposed for each of them to go into 420, which is the lowest seq. Merges should not be done into intermediate profiles when a lower one is known.

SO.......following Shadrach will lead to many LOL. I am related to Jehiel Forrest..........but I have never found a connection to the Forrests of TN.??? But I was told that my relative was from Indiana...... He was when he died BUT....he was born exactly where I was . Chaney Mark Forrest....his GrandFather was Ahadrach Forrest I do beleive????
Thank you, Mary
