Description: |
| The inventor surname is spelled twice as "Fobes" and once as "Forbes". It appears that "Fobes" is correct, as there was an Isaac Fobes, 1789-02-09 to 1855-06-21, who lived in Bridgewater. From "History of Plymouth County, Massachusetts", an 1884 work by Duane Hamilton Hurd, "Isaac Fobes, born in 1789, was a machininst and farmer. After working at his trade in various places he returned to Scotland, where he died, June 22, 1855. He married, first, Mary, daughter of Timothy Hayward; second, Olive, daughter of Edward Mitchell, and widow of Dr. Rufus Walker. Mr. Fobes was an intelligent genealogist and antiquarian, devoting much time in his later years to researches in that direction. He was a Congregationalist in religious belief, possessed a handsome property, and was a valued citizen." |
