WILLIAM FORMAN, son of Benjamin and Mary Forman, was born March 16, 1828, in
Ralls county, Missouri, where his father was engaged in farming. William
remained at home until twenty-one, and then moved to Shelby county, and bought a
farm. April 20, 1863, he started for California, arriving at Taylorville

followed ever since. In 1867 he purchased the Forgay ranch of Thomas Hughes,
which contained 283 acres, on which he now resides. In 1869 he went back to
Missouri on a business trip. He was married April 15, 1849, to Miss Cordelia
