Thanks for the responses so far.

Some of you may find this interesting:

"When thou cuttest down thine harvest in thy field, and hast forgot a sheaf in the field, thou shalt not go again to fetch it ...." - Deuteronomy 24:19, King James Bible

Raises the possibility that "forgot ... at/on/in, etc. ... " is one of those old usages that persisted in N. Am. while being lost on the other side.
