NATHANIEL B. FORGAY was born at Natchez, Mississippi, November 7, 1839. In the
year 1854 he came overland with a team to California, settling at Spring Garden
ranch, and mining for six months. From there he went to Indian valley, and
worked on a farm until 1857, and then mined at Rich gulch until 1863. For a few
months he freighted from Indian valley to Virginia City, Nevada. In 1864 he
bought the farm now owned by William Foreman, and sold it in 1868, when he went
to Big Meadows, purchased another ranch, sold it the following year, and went to
Indian valley. He then bought the Maxwell place, near Greenville, on which he
has since resided. With additions made, he now has 388 acres. He was married
April 25, 1865, to Miss Lucretia Johnston, who was born in Pennsylvania, May 12,
1840, and came to Plumas county in 1864. Their children are Lizzie, born January
29, 1866; Paradine, March 14, 1867; James A., April 12, 1868; Arnold, June 12,
1870; Alma, September 26, 1872; Leota, October 28, 1878—all of whom are living
in Indian valley. Mr. Forgay is a member of Indian Valley Lodge No. 136, I. O. O. F.
