Of the descendants of the daughters, who left the State soon after marriage, little is known. Jacob Forney, the eldest son, married Mary Corpening, of Burke county, N.C. Soon after the Revolutionary war he purchased a valuable track of land on Upper creek, five miles northwest of Morganton, on which he settled and raised a large family. He lived a long, quiet and useful life.
His tombstone, in a private cemetery on the old homestead property, bears this inscription: "Sacred to the memory of Jacob Forney, born Nov. 6th, 1754, died Nov. 7th, 1840, aged eighty-six years and one day." He had eleven children: 1. Thomas J. Forney married S.C. Harris, of Montgomery county. Isaac Newton Forney, married M.L. Corpening, of Burke county.
