Notes
a. Note:   N421 BIOGRAPHY:
 1850: Trumbull Co Poorhouse listed as Jacob Fortney . 1860: not listed
 [Elias Fortney (born 1834 in Lancaster PA) arrived in poorhouse on 15Jan1850]
  John had an outstanding note from John Reel for the sum of $25.09 dated 14Oct1825 & still outstanding in 1829 when Reel died. The estate records show that John Fortney bought a small bottle for one cent at the Reel estate sale - 1829. In 1851 the debt is deemed 'unrecoverable'. and John & Christine sell land in Trumbull Co. on 11Dec1851 for $350.00 (this is right after the estate of John Reel is settled.)
  Fortney's were in Franklin Co PA from before 1800 to 1823. They moved to Trumbull Co Ohio, where Christina's parents were, bet. 1823 & 1825 because an application for marriage for their daugher, Christina, on 11Feb1825 in Trumbull Co. to Henry Miller. This is the earliest date for them in Ohio. While back in Franklin Co, in 1825 there was a Sheriff's sale of their property. Tax record has "gone". Economic or health reasons put John in the county poorhouse but no record of his death.
 Poorhouse records: John Fortney arrived 15Jan1850 (the records do Not have a Jacob) His 10 acres of land is sold 1851. This being the last record of him
 Most of the Fortney Family departed Trumbull Co by 1856 except for daughters Martha & Christina who remained in Trumbull Co.
 Fortney/Fordina/Fortineux/Furtney from Palantine Germany. Fortney, Sarah Grandmother is buried in Girard Union born 1804, died 30 Dec 1882. A John Fortney owed John Reel money. Reel held a note dated Oct 14, 1825 from him for $25.09 that the estate thought was not recoverable. And when the final account on the estate was settled it was Christina Fortney who got the money, also John Fortney bought one small bottle from the sale of John Reel's personal property for a penny. I find Sarah Fortney born in PA, 1850 roll 733page127, age 45 with Elia age 24 and Susannah age 16.
