Thanks, Kathy.I misplaced your letter, and with it your internet address.Another son of Joshua and Nancy was George Layton Fortner, born in 1845.He married twice, and I am the youngest child of his youngest child--ergo, a second cousin to Alvie, Ethel, et al..I visited with Alvie in the 1980s, and know his son.I have the Sipple line and allied lines, back through Delaware to Garrett Sipple of Accomack County, VA, ca. 1650, and his wife Mary Calvert.What I'm trying to establish is whether or not Robert Fortner also came from Delaware or the nearby eastern shore of Maryland--in both of which there are Fortners and Faulkners.Alvie spoke of "the three brothers" who went into Kentucky.Thanks.Your cousin, Paul Brockman
