General Notes: From an [at present, 2021] unknown Source,
In 1704 Tom Forster became joint heir with his aunt, Lady Dorothy Crewe, to the Forsters' bankrupt estates in Bamburgh and Blanchland. The Forsters, once an important land-owning family, had fallen heavily into debt after years of gambling and excessive spending by Sir William and Ferdinando Forster, Dorothy's brothers. These debts were settled and the family rescued from their embarrassing predicament by Dorothy's husband, the wealthy Lord Crewe, Bishop of Durham. Despite having sworn oaths to William and Mary, and subsequently officiated at the coronation of George l, the Bishop was a known Jacobite sympathiser, having risen to favour in the Stuart Court. Tom Forster took up his father's parliamentary seat, becoming heavily involved in Jacobite politics and central to the plotting in Northumberland. He was elected as the English 'General' in the 1715 Rising because he was a Protestant, but afterwards made a scapegoat for the failed enterprise, and criticised by some of his fellow Jacobites for his poor leadership. After the surrender at Preston he was imprisoned in Newgate, escaping four days before his trial. He fled to the Continent and remained in exile for the rest of his life, steering clear of further political intrigue and holding an appointment as Steward in the royal household of James lll. After his death in 1738 at the age of fifty-four, his body was brought back to England and buried at Bamburgh.
BUT, in March 2021, Patrick de Meulmeester added the following:
For the record, General Thomas Forster participated in the Jacobite Rebellion in support of the Stuart family lost in the Battle of Preston.
He was then imprisoned in London's Newgate prison from where he managed to escape with the help of his sister Dorothy to the Vendée to join the Stuart Court.
After that Thomas Forster lost everything and it was his brother John Forster who was able to recover land and castles including the one in Bamborough.
John Forster, Thomas Forster's Brother, was a general in Queen Elizabeth's army and was also appointed Lord Warden of the Middle Marshes.

Here's what Dorothy Forster said about The Forster's and was recounted in Walter SEBANT's (1885) book 'DOROTHY FORSTER'
There are in Northumberland as many Forster's as there are Fenwick's and more. First, it had been said, but irreverently, The Lord made Adam and Eve and then He made the Forsters…
The ancient and original seat of the Forster's from time immemorial has been at Etherston, which is, being interpreted, the Adder Stone… (now Adderstone)
There are branches of the Forsters everywhere at Tuggall hall, at Aldermarston, at Bernwick, in London and I know not where else. But with those branches we have NOTHING here to do..
Especially, however, to be considered is the noble branch of Bamborough founded by Sir John FORSTER, the valiant and trusty Warden of the March under Good Queen Elizabeth for twenty-seven years and Governor of Bamborough Castle. It was to his son Sir Claudius that King James made a grant of the castle and manor of Bamborough !
By marriage, the Forsters were connected with nearly every family of gentle birth in the north: Lords Crewe, Wharton, Hilton, Ogle,the Radcliffes, Shaftoes, Swinburns, Chaytors, Herons, Selbys, Carnabys, Crasters, Ridleys, Fenwick, Salkelds, Grays of Chillingham, the Coles of Brancepeth….
One of the Forsters was Lord Chief Justice of England, another was Puisne Judge; many of them were Sheriffs, Knights of the Shire.Their history is, in a word, part and parcel of the history of Northumberland itself; that is to say of the great and glorious realm of England…
By my mother's side we came from the Bamborough Forsters - a branch of the family more distinguished in the world than the main stock, and remarkable for the gifts of politeness and love and learning.

355 iv. William FORSTER [47142] was born in 1685 and died before 1690. (Died young)

General Notes: She became the Northumbrian heroine of the 'Fifteen' when, with the help of a blacksmith friend, she cleverly engineered her brother Tom's escape from Newgate. The story, which has become entrenched in Northumbrian folklore, tells of her courageous journey to London through snow and ice, riding pillion with the blacksmith from Adderstone, near Bamburgh. After Tom's escape, and in order to outwit the authorities, she pretended that her brother had died abroad and organised that a coffin filled with sawdust should be placed in the Forster Vault at Bamburgh. 'The Lord Crewe Arms' in Blanchland is a property traditionally associated with Dorothy and her brother Tom. In Jacobite times this house belonged to their aunt, Lady Dorothy Crewe, the wife of Lord Nathaniel Crewe, Bishop of Durham.

AND, a Document received from Patrick de Meulemeester in June 2021, he quoted:
See hereunder what Dorothy Forster, the sister of General Thomas Forster said about the FORSTER'S and related by Walter SEBANT (1885) in his book 'DOROTHY FORSTER'

General Notes: In the Wikisource Dictionary of National Biography, it says of Sir George,
JACOB, Sir GEORGE Le GRAND (1805\endash 1881), major-general in the Indian army, the fifth son and youngest child of John Jacob [see Jacob, Edward, 1710?\endash 1788, ad fin.], by his wife Anna Maria Le Grand, was born at his father's residence, Roath Court, near Cardiff, 24 April 1805. His family in 1815 removed to Guernsey. Jacob was educated at Elizabeth College, Guernsey, and under private tutors in France and England, and when about fifteen was sent to London to learn oriental languages under Dr. John Borthwick Gilchrist [q. v.] He obtained an Indian infantry cadetship in 1820, and on the voyage out to Bombay contracted a close friendship with Alexander Burnes [q. v.] He was posted to the 2nd or grenadier regiment Bombay native infantry (now Prince of Wales's own) as ensign 9 June 1821, in which corps he obtained all his regimental steps except the last. His subsequent commissions were: lieutenant 10 Dec. 1823, captain 6 June 1836, major 1 May 1848, lieutenant-colonel in the (late) 31st Bombay native infantry 15 Nov. 1853, brevet-colonel 6 Dec. 1856, brigadier-general 21 July 1858, major-general on retirement 31 Dec. 1861.

Jacob passed for interpreter in Hindustâni so speedily after arrival in India, that he was complimented in presidency general orders. He afterwards passed in Persian and Marâthi. He saw some harassing service with his regiment against the Bheels in the pestiferous Nerbudda jungles, and was subsequently with it in Cutch and at Ukulkote. He took his furlough home in 1831, and in January 1833 was appointed orderly officer in the East India Military Seminary, Addiscombe. While there, at the request of the Oriental Translation Fund, he undertook the translation of the 'Ajaib-al-Tabakat' (Wonder of the Universe), a manuscript purchased by Alexander Burnes in the bazaar at Bokhara. Jacob considered the work not worth printing, and his manuscript translation is now in the library of the Asiatic Society, London. On 18 June 1835 he married Emily, daughter of Colonel Utterton of Heath Lodge, Croydon, and soon afterwards sailed for India. His wife died at sea, and Jacob landed at Bombay in very broken health. He recovered under the care of a brother, William Jacob, then an officer in the Bombay artillery, and in 1836 was appointed second political assistant in Kattywar, where he was in political charge in 1839\endash 43. His ability in dealing with the disputed Limree succession was noticed by the government; the curious details are given in his book (Le Grand Jacob, Western India, pp. 22\endash 55). He was also thanked for his report on the Babriawar tribes (1843) and other reports on Kattywar. Early in 1845 he served as extra aide-de-camp to Major-general Delamotte during the disturbances in the South Mahratta country, and was wounded in the head and arm by a falling rock when in command of the storming party in the assault on the hill-fort of Munsuntosh. In April 1845 Jacob was appointed political agent in Sawunt Warree. The little state was bankrupt, with its gaols overflowing; but Jacob's judicious measures during a period of six years restored order, retrieved the finances, and reformed abuses. On 8 Jan. 1851 Jacob was made political agent in Cutch, and was sent into Sind as a special commissioner to inquire into the case of the unfortunate Mir Ali Morad, khan of Khypore, the papers relating to which were printed among 'Sessional Papers' of 1858 and the following years. He also sat on an inquiry into departmental abuses at Bombay. An account of his travels in Cutch appeared in the 'Proceedings' for 1862 of the Bombay Geographical Society, since merged in the Asiatic Society of Bombay. His health needing change, he obtained leave, and visited China, Java, Sarawak, and Australia, 'keeping his eyes and ears ever on the alert, always reading, writing, or inquiring\emdash mostly smoking\emdash winning men by his geniality and women by his courteous bearing' (Overland Mail, 6 May 1881). On his return he was shipwrecked on a coral reef in Torres Straits, and saved from cannibal natives by a Dutch vessel. He quitted Cutch for Bombay in December 1856, at first purposing to retire; but he served under Outram in the Persian expedition. In Persia he was in command of the native light battalion in the division under Henry Havelock, whom Jacob appears to have regarded as too much of a martinet. He returned with the expeditionary force to Bombay in May 1857.

Acting under the orders of Lord Elphinstone, the governor of Bombay, Jacob arrived at Kolapore on 14 Aug., a fortnight after the 27th Bombay native infantry had broken into mutiny there. Four days later he, with a mere handful of troops, quietly disarmed the regiment, and brought the ringleaders of the outbreak to justice (sc|Jacob,, Western India, pp. 144\endash 77). On 4 Dec. following, when the city closed its gates against Jacob's small force which was encamped in their lines outside, Jacob promptly blew open one of the gates, put the rebels to flight, tried by drumhead court-martial and executed on the spot thirty-six who were caught red-handed, and held the city until the mischief was past (ib. pp. 182\endash 208). His vigour, no doubt, prevented the wave of rebellion from sweeping over the whole southern Mahratta country and overflowing into the nizam's dominions (Holmes, Indian Mutiny, p. 455; Report on Administration of Public Affairs in Bombay, pp. 18\endash 19). Jacob was specially thanked in presidency general orders 8 Jan. 1858 for 'the promptitude and decision shown by you on the occasion of the recent insurrection at Kolapore,' and 'for the manner in which you upheld the honour of this army, proving to all around you what a British officer can effect by gallantry and prudence in the face of the greatest difficulties' (ib. p. 264). Jacob's powers, at first limited to Kolapore, Sawunt Warree, and Rutnagerry, were in May 1858 extended to the whole South Mahratta country, of which he was appointed special commissioner, the command of the troops with the rank of brigadier-general being subsequently added. After dealing successfully with various local outbreaks (ib. pp. 210\endash 32), Jacob was sent to Goa to confer with the Portuguese authorities respecting the Sawunt rebels on the frontier (ib. pp. 232\endash 6). This service successfully accomplished, he resigned his command. He remained nominally political agent in Cutch up to the date of his leaving India in 1859. James Outram appears to have desired that Jacob should succeed him as member of the council at Calcutta, but he retired with the rank of major-general from 31 Dec. 1861. He was made C.B. in 1859, and K.C.S.I. in 1869.

Jacob has been likened in character to his cousin, General John Jacob [q. v.] He had the same fearlessness, the same hatred of redtape and jobbery, and the same genius for understanding and conciliating Asiatics. His outspoken advocacy of native rights not unfrequently gave offence to the officials with whom he came in contact. Throughout his life he was a zealous student of the literature of India, and whenever opportunity offered did his best to promote research in the history and antiquities of the land. He was one of the earliest copiers of the Asoka inscriptions (250 B.C.) at Girnar, Kattywar; and in Cunningham's 'Corpus Inscriptionum,' Calcutta, 1877, are many inscriptions transcribed by him in Western India. A list of papers bearing on the history, archæology, topography, geology, and metallurgy of Western India, contributed by Jacob at different times to various publications, is given in the 'Journal of the Asiatic Society,' London, new ser. xiii. pp. vii. and viii. Some are included in the 'Royal Society's Catalogue of Scientific Papers;' but neither list appears complete. In his prime he was an ardent sportsman. Seven lions fell to his rifle in one day in Kattywar, and his prowess as a shikarry is perpetuated in native verse. The last twenty years of Jacob's life were spent at home under much suffering\emdash a constant struggle with asthma, bronchitis, and growing blindness. His mental vigour remained unimpaired. With the assistance of his niece and adopted daughter, Miss Gertrude Le Grand Jacob, he wrote his 'Western India before and during the Mutiny,' which was published in 1871, and was highly commended by the historian Kaye; and shortly before his death he paid 20l. for a translation from the Dutch of some papers of interest on the island of Bali (east of Java), subsequently printed in the 'Journal of the Asiatic Society,' London, viii. 115, ix. 59, x. 49. Jacob died in London on 27 Jan. 1881, and was buried in Brookwood cemetery, near Woking, Surrey.
