James Ransom Fortenberry,Sr (b.1815)
Looking for Father & Mother of James Ransom Fortenberry,Sr who married Elizabeth C. Pace(b.1825).I show that he was born around 1815-1818.He had sons: George W.(b 1853)(my ggrandfather), Pleasant(b.1837), Stephen (b.1842), John M.(b.1840), Singleton (b.1848), William Jackson (b.1851), Robert "Bob" (b.1851)(died at birth), Lafayette (1863) and James Ransom,JR (b.1858).He had daughters: Lucinda (b.1849), Matildia (b.1846). According to "the" books of Fortenberrys in Mississippi, his parents are unknown and I have not been able to find them either.I cannot connect him to any other Fortenberrys.I have his census records of 1850 & 1860 showing him, his wife and children.I have not been able to find his birth nor his marriage records.If you have any info as to who his mother and dad were I would really appreciate your help.
