I am, as I am sure everyone else is, having trouble keeping my relatives straight!
Here is what I know to be fact.
Thomas N (or W) Fortner and Nica Sarah Powell gave birth to
James Holcomb Fortner in Ashland Mississippi December 11,1895.
James Holcomb Fortner married Iona Augusta Carter and they gave birth to:

Marguriete Fortner
1921 –
*

Juanita Ilene Fortner
1922 – 1987
*

Dorothy Mae Fortner
1925 – 2006
*

Iona James (Sonny) Fortner
1930 –
*

Nermie Joyce Fortner My Mother
1937 –
*

Myrna Jean Fortner
1940 –

I know some relatives still live in and around
Ashland Mississippi.

Any information you could provide would be much appreciated.

Thank you JoAnne Gipson
