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.

   218    iii. Elizabeth FORSTER [47141] was born on 14 Aug 1684. (Died young)

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

   220    v. Dorothy FORSTER [47143] was born in 1686 and died in 1767 at age 81.

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'

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 Forster's.
The ancient and original seat of the Forster's from time immemorial has been at Etherston, which is, being interpreted, the Adder Stone…

There are branches of the Forster's 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 Forster's 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 Forster's 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 Forster's- 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.
