Surnames: Fortner, Bishop Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/Cm.2ADI/170 Message Board Post: I am looking for information on the families of Noah A. Bishop and his brother, Orville Bishop. Both were long time residents of the Mitchell County area in the early 1900's. Noah A. Bishop was married to Anna McGee and they had six known children; Felix Clyde, Paul F., Fern M., Izel M., Juanita E., and Elvin E. Orville W. Bishop was married to Florence, surname unknown, and they had only one known child; Nathalie. Both of these men were sons of Francis Marion Bishop and had a brother by that name as well. They are a branch of the Fortner family of my research. I have much to share on the ancestry of these men but need help on the more current generations. Would love to make contact with descendants.
