​​This 1953 article from the Courier Express was sent to us from a very friendly neighbor and we are so very grateful. It is difficult to read though so look for a larger version at the Tavern on your next visit.

My 4th Great Grandfather was John Forsyth (1781-1812) who came from near Batavia, Genesee County, N.Y. to Warrens Corners, Niagara County, N.Y. with his family & possessions in 1805. John Forsyth built the Tavern there in Warrens Corners about the year 1808. He died of paralysis in 1812 & his widow, Mary (Ganson) Forsyth married 2ndly, Ezra Warren. I have alot of data on them.
