Robert T. Forth was at one time the wealthiest man in Wayne County.He was a merchant, Baptist preacher, banker, rancher,and for two terms a member of the Illinois House of Representatives.He had 25 children.
Bucky Forth had at least 21 children and Louisa Jane Warren had 10 children.Larkin and Malinda had some children, but don't know the number.
