About Maria Forney

A Patriot of the American Revolution for NORTH CAROLINA. DAR Ancestor # A041122 from DAR database - "SUFFERED DEPREDATION, 1781"

This image may resemble how she looked. Her parent's name was Johann Peter and Susanna Lasenegge . I changed the marriage location to NC but there's also a marriage recorded for them in Philli, PA so I'll have to nail that down. It's possible that both are true. One being unofficial. The other official.
