William Forrester m. Martha Boles, Greene Co., Georgia
Robert Foster 3/26/13
Accordingto Tuscaloosa Co, AL court records, William S. Forrester (my ancestor) had 3 families, by 3 different women, and was only married to the middle one. She was proven as the legal widow, although he was with Martha in Tuscaloosa when he died. He had 1 son, William M,bn c 1798 GA, who married Martha’s daughter, Catherine Whatley, from a previous union.
William S. married Sarah Hunt 1804, Greene Co, GA. They had 3 or (probably) 4 children, in GA. During his marriage to Sarah, and having children with her, he started a relationship with Martha, and had 5 kids with her.
The children of William S. Forrester:

The Willie Forrester who married Polly Boles, 9 Jan 1812, Greene Co, GA, bk P, doesn’t seem to be the same man.
