From Prichard Family History, 1915:
"The wife, Cassandra, made the trip [to Johnson County from Kentucky] on horseback, carrying her young child, Sarah Jane, in her arms all this long and tedious journey. It was in this pioneer home [built by David] in the wilderness that the family started their notable career, many of whom are today filling positions of honor and trust. From the twenty acres cleared on this farm during the first year have sprung fertile fields and broad acres; the old log structure which is still to be seen, has been replaced by a more pretentious home with its ample orchards and modern farm equipments.
"As the years went by the family prospered; the mother as well as the father by her industry, frugality and strength of character helped to make their home and extensive landed interests among the best and most prominent in Nineveh township. At the time of David Forsyth's death he had provided each of his children with a splendid farm or its equivalent. "
