Amanda had been born in Waterdown, East Flamborough (Ontario) and John in Lewiston, New York.
John Foreman was named for his father. After his marriage, he was a major in the American Civil War and moved his family west to the Kansas Territory. He found his name was not unique in the United States so to distinguish himself, he added the initial "A" and "Jr.", making his reputation as John A. Foreman, Jr.
