Georgia, I too have been researching this family on and off for many years. Today I found a missing 1860 census for my ancestor George Washington Foreman and his family. The name was listed as Fairman. I see this spelling elsewhere in Virginia. Also, today, I found a census record for John Farman in Harpers Ferry, VA. I believe it was the 1820 census. It didn't seem to connect because there was only a male under 10 and a male (presumably John Farman) over 50 in the household. However, our John William was (recently?) married in 1820; this John Farman may have been his father. Other records show John William's surname as Forman. The various (mis)spellings make it difficult. Which child of John and Hannah are you descended from? I show 8 children. By the way, I have no record showing John and Hannah from Harpers Ferry or even Jefferson County - ony the word of others. Do you have a record that shows that piece of info?
