The Forresters of Arkansas

Updated May 9, 2002

About Our Family Research


This is a relatively new search on the Forresters of Arkansas. The orignal Forresters came from North Carolina. We have even found some from as far away as Scottland. However, my line has actually only been traced back for four generations, and all of those were born in the United States. I am unaware of any other searches about this line of Forresters.
The ancestors that I have found all lived in Alread, Arkansas located in Van Buren County. My father's name is Ira Johnson Forrester, and my mother's maiden name is Hazel Mae Foster. I do not know much about my parents, as I was raised in a children's home and only met them once. My grandparents were George Harrison Forrester and Ida Laveda Thompson. I recently found them along with my Great grandmother, Rachel Forrester in the 1920 census of Van Buren County. The census stated that Rachel was a widow, however I do know that my great grandfather's name was William Forrester. At this point in my search I have not accquired any birth or death dates on William or Rachel, but they are buried at the Rex Cemetery (Forrester Cemetery) in Alread, Arkansas.
