Forwood family.
Hide Profile
The original Forwood homestead was on Marsh Road in Brandywine Hundred, north of Wilmington. The farm was originally established by John Forwood in 1790. Corn, oats, and wheat were grown on the property, which had been a marsh. During the first decade of the 19th century the Forwood family began to purchase and sell livestock. Jehu Forwood (John's eldest son) was a founder of the Brandywine Hundred Association for Recovery of Stolen Horses. The Forwood farm was a major supplier of timber to the Du Pont Company. The farm stayed in the family until 1889 when it was sold by Robert Forwood.
