The 1700-1730 portion of this family tree contains many errors. Solid documentation is needed to determine accurate information for birth years and places, marriage years and places, and marriage partners.

James William Forrest(er) Sr. was not born the same year as his father (1700) James Forrester Sr. The identities of these two men have been confused and conflated. The birth year of JWF Sr.'s mother wa quite certainly not 1723, but probably some 20 years earlier, as other sources show.

This section is a mess and needs a lot of correction.
