4/97.
Born on a farm near Salisbury, PA, John was one of the
early bishops of the Brethren Church. About 1814 he was called to preach, later
ordained as an elder. When Bishop Michael Moyer (Meyers) died in 1836, Elder
Peter Cober and Elder Forney, Sr. were constituted bishops of the county
jointly, each serving until his death. His youngest son Peter Forney in a
letter to Jerome Blough wrote that he always had family worship, evening and
morning. He wrote a good hand in both German and English, in German he signed
his name "Fahrney", and in English "Forney". He was some
kin to old Dr. Peter Fahrney, but how near he wasn't sure. His preaching always
was sympathetic, he seemed to be tender-hearted. Three sons, Michael, John Jr.,
and Peter, were ministers and elders. These moved west. Others were deacons.
Six grandsons and three great-grandsons by the name of Forney were ministers.
He had several trades, carpenter and cooper. In his young days he was hewing
timber, got very warm, went to the river, cut the ice, lay down and drank, and
arose an afflicted man for his lifetime. He heard for weeks and months they
thought every day would be his last. But he finally rallied, but had to do with
it as long as he lived, and finally it turned into dropsy. The family of John
Forney, Sr. lived on a farm in Brothersvalley Twp. until about 1840, when they
moved to a farm on the west bank of Quemahoning Creek. He was the only elder in
that branch of the church when he passed away. His body was laid in a lonely
grave on the farm, but when the farm went out of the family's hands his body
was moved to the Blough-Forney burying ground, near Berlin, where he and his
wife lie buried side by side.

After I posted my
previous message, I went into the book for Joseph Forney. "born out of
wedlock, Sarah Buechley (10/28/1817)b. in Quemahoning TWP, d.6/26/1891. Dau of
Joseph Buechley and Susanna Miller. Sarah in Sipesville Cemetery, Sipesville,
PA." The general supposition is that Joseph Forney the son of John and
Susanna was the father of the Joseph to whom you refer. The information about
Sarah and her son named Joseph Forney was told to Mr. Beeghly by a nephew of
Sarah Beeghly named Isiah Buechly. She also had another child named Rosy Spangler.
I could email you the rather large paragraph about this if you wish. John and
Susanna were my ggggf (think thats enough greats).

Buchele
One of my husband's
fifth great grandfathers, Johann Michael Beeghley, was the son of Johann Adam
Beeghley, German
Nobleman, and
Catherine Hertzler. I found the following information about this family in the
book entitled, Two Centuries of
Brothersvalley
Church of the Brethren by H. Austin Cooper.
"The Beeghley
family descends from a German Noble family, by the name of Buechele, this
Nobleman, having married a
morganatic wife (a
man of Royal rank marrying a woman of inferior rank, whose chldren are
legitimate but cannot inherit
their father's rank
or possessions). When the Nobleman is ready to inhabit his palace, then he must
get rid of this morganatic
wife, and marry a
wife of his own rank. Generally in an instance as this the morganatic wife was
sent somewhere out of the
country by the man
of higher rank. This being the case in the Buechele family, this nobleman was
about to take his castle, in
the Province of
Baden, and therefore he sent his wife and one son to America. The name of this
son was Michael Buechele,
who was born near
the town of Baden, Germany, on Feb 2, 1739. It was sometime during the year of
1750, that this
Nobleman sent his
morganatic wife and her son to America. They landed in the colony of Pennsylvania,
and settled at
Germantown, Pa.
They resided here a
short time when they received word from the motherland, Germany, that this
mother had fallen heir to a
large fortune in
Germany. The rules of Germany were that in a case of this kind the mother and
all her children had to come
back to Germany to
claim it. At this time traveling over the ocean was very hazardous, and also
dangerous, and therefore
they pondered for a
while whether they should return to Germany. Finally making up her mind to
return, they started their
return journey in
the year 1751 or 1752. The ship they wre traveling on was boarded by
sea-pirates, by whom this mother
was killed and her
son Michael, a lad of twelve or thirteen years of age was taken captive by the
pirates. This son remained
a captive of these
sea-pirates for about two years. One night while the ship of these pirates was
anchored in the Philadelphia
harbor, this lad,
Michael Buechele, made his escape, and returned to Germantown, Pa., where he
was reared by a German
family there."
The article goes on to say that in the year 1762 Michael took to himself a
wife, Barro Inken. They had several
children before
Barro died Jan 20, 1789 of childbirth upon giving birth to their youngest son,
Michael, Jr.
For many years a war
was breeding between the 13 colonies and the mother Country, England. He, being
of Amish faith,
was opposed to
taking of arms in a conflict. In 1773 he loaded his wife and three sons on the
back of a horse, and he led
the horse across the
mountains to middle PA, and finally settled in Somerset County (then Bedford
County). Michael
became affiliated
with the German Baptist Brethren Church, in which he was elected to the
ministry 1784, and ordained
elder 1788.
