Subject: Almira McDuffee Forsaith
Date: Mon, 12 Aug 2002
From: "Ralph Forsaith"

I noticed your posting about Almira Mcduffee Forsaith in Ancestry. As you mentioned, she was married to Rufus Forsaith. His brother Josiah Forsaith is my gg-grandfather. I have considerable data on many of his siblings, but very little about Rufus himself. Would you by any chance have more data about him or Almira? Almira and Rufus were "Married by Rev Joel R. Arnold in the Congregational Church in Chester, NH - Per Church Records".
