Biographical History
Samuel S. Forman (1763-1860) was an early settler of the town of Cazenovia in Madison County, New York. As a young man, Forman traveled Central New York as clerk to John Lincklaen, a young Dutch land agent, whose house and lands today are known as the Lorenzo Historic Site. Forman also assisted Lincklaen in running his store in Cazenovia; he eventually purchased the business from Lincklaen and expanded into other communities in the area. In 1837, Forman purblished his memoirs as "ANNALS of CAZENOVIA."
