Pasquotank River · U.S. Coast Survey, 1850. Regional context; this chart does not locate Johnnycake Town’s inland parcels. Select the chart to examine it.
A rent mortgage, ten acres beside a millpond, and a remembered North River Road home trace Anthony Forehand’s Camden family—his wives, children and grandchildren, with the uncertain connections weighed openly.
Deeds trace David Forehand from the Pasquotank country to Guilford. His will and later estate records open a carefully qualified path toward the Forehand families of Tennessee.
Daniel Forehand’s 1781 will placed his unnamed children in Sarah’s care. His land, household inventory and family connections trace a life between Newland and Perquimans—and a probable link to the Stallings family.
Three registrations dated 24 May 1765 preserve Thomas, Lemuel and Jarvis Forehand’s livestock marks. An illustrated guide explains their colonial purpose and a recovered—but incomplete—Forehand entry attributed to John.
Lemuel Forehand’s Newland land and two family estates reveal a granddaughter’s conditional inheritance, documented marriages, and the generations still missing from the family tree.
A Newland boundary preserves Thomas Forehand’s family: three documented sons, a possible fourth, and the land and household records that distinguish evidence from tradition.
