S.V. Fortner m. James Arthur Reedy

Maybe we can help each other.I have run into the S.V. Fortner in my research, and wondered what her name was.My Fortner is:Margaret Fortner, who lived in Tazewell co/Wythe co, Va. when she marriedHenry Long and moved to Hancock co, Tn.They were my ggrandparents.In searching the census records, and listening to clues from my family, I concluded that her parents must have been William and Minerva Fortner of Tazewell co, Va.My aunt told me that they called her "Nervy" when she got old and cantankerous, possibly as a nickname for her mother?When you have been at this as long as I have(30 years) you will grasp at any straw.I will keep my eyes open for S. V. Fortner.
