Virginia Library, Charlottesville, Va.
Acquisition Information
In the foreword to his
Writings of General John Forbes (Menasha, Wisconsin: Collegiate Press,
1938) ,
Alfred Proctor James discussed the fate
of the Forbes office copies relating to the
Duquesne expedition. He speculated that
the archive may have been turned over to
James Glen, Forbes' cousin and
executor, a former royal governor of
South Carolina, but suggested that
there are Forbes papers in the possession of relatives in
Scotland.
More than a third of a century later, on October 15,
1974,
Sotheby's in
London offered for sale at auction, a
group of some 530 manuscripts from the headquarters papers
of General Forbes, virtually all of which related to the
Duquesne expedition. Sotheby was able
to say only that the owners descended from
James Glen through his niece and heir,
Elizabeth Glen, who married
George Ramsay, the Eighth Earl of
Dalhousie. These papers were purchased for the
Tracy W. McGregor Library with funds
provided by the
Trustees of the McGregor Fund, who
have made annual grants for the purchase of additions to
the collection since 1939.
It will be immediately apparent that the present archive
contains virtually no material after August 1758. This
suggests that there is an additional group of papers that
has been lost or is in the possession of some other
descendant and may be discovered in the future.
John Forbes, the son of Colonel
John Forbes of
Pittencrief, Dunfermline, Fifeshire,
Scotland, and
Elizabeth Graham, was probably born in
1707. He was trained in medicine, and on September 25, 1729,
received his commission as surgeon in the
Royal Regiment of North British Dragoons (Scots Greys). In July, 1735, he purchased
a cornetcy in a troop of the Regiment. With faithful service
in the
Scots Greys during the War of Austrian
Succession, he was promoted rapidly, reaching the rank of
lieutenant-colonel in December, 1750 (he had been given that
rank in the Army in December, 1745). In Februaryruary, 1757, Forbes
was given the colonelcy of the
17th Foot and shortly thereafter departed
for
North America, where he served the Earl
of Loudoun as adjutant general.
Forbes was made a brigadier by
William Pitt in December, 1757, with the
responsibility of directing a campaign in 1758 the objective
of which was the capture of
Fort Duquesne and the clearing of the
French from the
Ohio River Valley. He proceeded to
Philadelphia in April, 1758, to assume
direct command of operations and planning for the expedition.
After months of building a new road through the wilderness and
rugged terrain of western
Pennsylvania, of building forts along the
way to hold territory and protect his army and its supply
posts,
Fort Duquesne was finally taken on
November 25th, after the French had evacuated and blown it up.
General Forbes was a very sick man during the campaign and he
died in
Philadelphia on March 11, 1759, and was
buried there in the chancel of
Christ Church.
