      US 1850/1860/1880 Census:
      FRED FORNEY born 1813

      The 1850 PA census listed Fred (40) and Mary Forney (43) and their three children, Marie (16), Martha Jane (18), and John M. Forney (10) as living in Franklin Co., PA.

      In 1860 census Frederick Forney is living in Letterkenny Township, Franklin Co., PA, born in 1810, married to Mary Unknown, born 1808. They lived near John M. Forney, born 1841, who was married to Margaret N., born April, 1836 in Hesse Darmstadt, Germany. Fred Forney is listed as a day laborer.

      Living with them are Isaac and Sophia Heckman, ages 39 and 32. There are two Heckman children: John 12, Harry 9. Isaac was a blacksmith.

      In 1880 census, Fred Forney and Mary Forney [DFC: This likely is Mary Catherine Strine, but I would so much appreciate verification of this) are listed as living in Letterkenny, Franklin, PA.
