FORTNER - KY & WV

My ancestor William Fortner was b in Va 1824.I first found him on the Wythe co census in 1860, with wife Minerva (2nd wife) and children Jane, Martha,Margaret, Ann, John and Charles.Wm died in 1862 at Crab Orchard while forming units for the ConfederacyHis widow applied for a pension in 1890 from Tazewell co, and received a pension.She said they were married in 1851 at Crockett's Cove.I have had no luck trying to find out what Fortner family he belonged to.It seems that there is a possibility that they might have been brothers.There was also another Fortner line there, (from John Faulkner)Hardy Fortner was of that line. William's name was William H.I would like to stay in touch.I believe that we may have a connection to the same family.
