Thanks Jim.So, hello cousin.I do know about Rod Bush who does have a lot of info.Also, Roger Bartlett has Fortson info.Not a lot of activity with the Fortson line.It is discouraging at times.I think I have found almost all my Fortson info, do not know where and when Jeptha M. (Monroe?) Fortson, son of Aaron J. Fortson died or was buried.I think I know...seems logical that he is in West Mt. Cem. in Upshur Co.Tx.He was always dependent on the Willingham son in law so probably buried by Willinghams.I have not been to Ft.Worth. I want to but time and distance keeps me home.Most of the Fortson researchers say Aaron J. Fortson died after 1880 census in Van Zandt Co.Tx. I cannot find a burial site.But, believe he did die there.I cannot find Jeptha and his wife Margrette Riley either.Maybe the Fortsons just fade away?
Thanks for your replies.Carol Jones
