LAMMING, Anna ^{1 2 3}

  General Notes:

Anna Lamming's parents are unknown. While I was in Barbados, I checked the Wills for her possible parentage. Although I did not find any will listing her as a daughter, I found one possible grandfather and father in a will probated on Jan. 25, 1781. A Dymock Laming of St. James Parish, Barbados named his son, Edward Laming as executor. If this Edward was Anna's father, she was named after Edward's mother, Ann. Also, this would explain the name of Anna and Christopher's third son, Edward Forte, as it was not a common Forte name on the island. (F-201)

In a family pedigree from Libby Swenson, it gives Anna's death date as 7/4/1821 or July 4, 1821. (F-318) This is three years earlier than my other source. It is probably incorrect due to birth dates for Edward's sisters. (RECHECK)

There were Laming's in Barbados at least 100 years before this Anna. A Mr. Edward Laming served under Capt. John Merrick's troop of Horse in 1679.

Anna must have had a very difficult life and it's likely that the same disease took her two daughters and herself, as they all died in the month of Sep. 1824. It devastated her husband and he too died not too many years later of a broken heart (according to his son Edward Forte. )

Anna married Christopher FORTE, son of Esq. Samuel FORTE and Jane NEBLETT, on Dec 13, 1814 in , St. Thomas Parish, , Barbados. (Christopher FORTE was born about 1789, christened on Jun 30, 1789 in , St. Thomas Parish, , Barbados and died on Nov 11, 1834 in , St. Thomas Parish, , Barbados.)
