9. Jacob Fortenberry, Jr. born 1810 in Lancaster Co., S.C. and married
Elizabeth Earlene Hix on Oct. 15, 1828 in Lawrence Co., Miss. They were my
GGG Grandparents.
     I have a note on my sheet about Jacob Fortenberry, Sr.'s will. It says
it was May 4, 1834 and that he mentions his wife, Celia. I don't personally
have a copy of this nor have I seen it. Someone else told me about it but I
can't remember who now.
    The children of Jacob Fortenberry, Jr. and Elizabeth Earlene Hix
Fortenberry [sometimes called Emily] were:
1. Rebecca Fortenberry, born 1835 in Miss. She was married to William
Butler.
2. Cecila Ann Fortenberry, born Sept. 3, 1838 in Miss. She was first married
to Henry B. Miller and had three children by him. They were married on Oct.
18, 1859 in Nacogdoeches Co., Texas, I believe. Their children were Jeff,
Dona and Sara Miller. He must have died before 1867 because Cecila Ann
married Redden Hezekiah Johnson [my GG Grandfather] and they had 5 or 6
children. My Great Grandfather, William Benjamin Johnson was their oldest
child.
Cecila Ann died in 1916 in Gause, Texas and is said to be buried there but
we can't find her grave. Redden later died in North Carolina.

married to William T. Mann on July 31, 1856 in Nacogdoches Co., Texas.

Herron on March 18, 1866 or on March 12, 1874.
