Hi Zach,
My wife is a descendant of Etheldred Fortner (b. c1774 in Bute Co, NC) through his first wife Sarah _____.Their daughter Mary (b. c1801 in Wilkes Co, NC married Elijah Webster in 1827 in Wilkes Co.Their daughter Mahala Webster (b c1829 in Wilkes Co, NC married Emanuel Jefferson Henry after the family moved to Gilmer (now Fannin Co) GA. Their son Tyrus T. Henry is my wife's great grandfather.
I agree with you that Etheldred Fortner was the eldest son of Aaron Faulkner (b c1754) and his wife Keziah ____.Aaron died c1798 in Iredell/Wilkes Co, NC.Aaron was a son of Emanuel Faulkner (b c1718 in Queen Anne's Co, MD) and Elizabeth Dickerson.Emanuel moved from Warren Co, NC after the Rev. War to Iredell Co where he died c1798.
I have accumulated a bit of info on descendants of Emanuel Faulkner, particularly the descendants of his son Aaron.Do you know the maiden name of Aaron's wife Keziah or Etheldred's first wife Sarah?According to census records, it appears Etheldred and Sarah had 12 children, but I have only been able to identify seven: John (b c1795) md. Elizabeth Highfield, Jacob (b c1799) md. Rachel Ingmon, Mary (b. c1801) md. Elijah Webster, Aaron (b c1804) md. Judith Phillips, Violet (b. c1807) md. John Brown, Daniel (b. c1808) md. Nancy Howell, and William R. (b. c1816) md. Anna Lowe.Etheldred Fortner married 2nd Margaret _____ and they subsequently moved to Tennessee.Etheldred had eight children by his second marriage.
Am trying to trace all the descendants.
