1784 Richard Forman I advanced more than £10,000 to the Homfrays to assist in funding the Penydarren Ironworks and became a partner in the concern.
By 1796 the Penydarren partnership included members of the Homfray family, Henry Forman of Woolwich (first secretary of the royal laboratories under Colonel Congreve), and Richard Forman I's son William.
Richard Forman I's fourth son, William Forman (c.1767-1829), also combined interests in the ordnance trade and the Welsh iron industry.
