Dear Pam,
I am at work so I am doing this by memory.This ALLEN FORCUM appears in NC in the early 1800's, and my first assumption was that he was a son of THOMAS FORCUM SR(b. 1756-1765) who had come to Rowan Co in the 1780's.Anyway this ALLEN moves to Indiana in the 1830's or so, settles in Putnam Co. IN and raises a rather large family, some who stay in IN and others who move westward.To continue, either the 1850 or 1860 Census for Putnam Co., In it lists his birthplace as Maryland; so had to change my theory.So I now believe that this ALLEN was either a brother or cousin to the above THOMAS FORCUM, and that ALLEN moved to NC first because he know that his brother/cousin was there and then moved on to IN.
Respecfully,
Jim
