Sailed between England and Tasmania. Ship built in Boston in 1819. John was granted land near Sorrell and settled there. He possibly came from Scotland (there were merchants named FOREMAN in Scotland).
Lloyd's Register of London gives under the heading SHIPOWNERS, Foreman as Master on the Denmark Hill from 1822/23 to 1830/31. Under the heading UNDERWRITERS we have Foreman as Master 1820/21 and J. Foreman as Master 1822/23 to 1831/1832, and J. Foreman as Owner 1822/23 to 1823/24.
Described as 'farmer' 1825, 1828. [Ray FOREMAN; Lloyd's Register of Shipping.]

[Note: Storm’s Family Tree Reference: I received the following note from Storm REECE (2010). 'Regarding John Foreman's birthplace in Alnwick, Northumberland, I have this information from my father. Dad was very good friends with Jean Foreman and I imagine that he got this information from her, as she knew quite a bit about the family. I had an interest in family history from an early age and often asked my father questions and he wrote down a lot of information for me that he knew. All he wrote was John Foreman, Alnwick, Northumberland. Dad died way back in 1988 and I have used the notes he left me to help me with research. So far everything he wrote has been accurate.']
