Arthur Forrest, 1

Barbara Forrest, now Troth... I am decended from the Forrests from Jamaica. I saw your post on the Jamaican GenForum. I have been tracing my family tree for nearly 2 years, full on. My 8 times grandfather went to Jamaica in the late 1600s, possibly with his two brothers to start sugar plantations. 1 left 2 stayed. One of the brothers was Arthur Forrest 1, then there was Arthur Forrest 2, Admiral and Commander, (1702-1770). He died in Jamaica at his post for the Royal Navy. Then there was Arthur 3, who was also in the Navy, but managed the plantations. Then there was Thomas Arthur Forrest cb, who had a son, Sandford Forrest, who stayed on in Jamaica after the slaves were freed [1834]. I am told he had a son Augustus Forrest by Ann Moore, a decendant from Sir John Moore, who died in Spain, the famous John Moore. (February 18, 2009).
