Peter Fortner, ca 1788, NJ

I have been doing research on my family and we may be of some help to each other. I had a great great grandfather named John Ryan who was married to a Martha Fortner. I am not sure of their birth or death dates but one of their children (Joseph - my great grandfather) was born in 1873 in Quaker Point, Indiana (near Terre Houte). Martha's parent's names were John Fortner and Catherine (?). John was born around 1812 and my information shows that before he was in Indiana, he was a miller from Ohio. Is it possible that Peter is his father? If so do you have more info on him?
Anything you have would be helpful. If you think there is a connection I may be able to help you with your family tree from Peter on down, which may also mean that we are distant relatives.
