    The is a great map for viewing the location of the Forsyth home on Pennsylvania Ave. from 1800 until 1840 and its relationship to the State of Pennsylvania. The area where the home was located can be seen on this map in the extreme southeast corner on the triangle of St. Mary's church found just above the word "of" in "City of Baltimore". You can follow Pennsylvania Ave. directly from their home northwest through Hookstown in the 3rd District and Reistertown in the 4th District before heading north on the Hanover Turnpike to Hanover, York County, Pennsylvania which is where the family lived before coming to Baltimore.
