The Feltner book has Adam listed as Feltner. Orlena Feltner was born 11 Sep 1852 and they had one more child, unnamed. The book doesn't have Orlena died in childbirth, but she died before Feb 1856. Rosannah is my great grandmother and Garrett Feltner is my grandfather, born Jan 1863, not 1861 as he is listed in the 1870 census for Perry County, Ky. He was 7 years old in 1870. It's believed Rosannah died when grandpa was 3 years old, because he married Lucinda Baker in Oct 1866 and there's no divorce record for Adam and Rosannah Feltner, The Feltner name has different ways of spelling it, it started as Voelckner in Germany and was changed to Felkner, Felknor, and Feltner in this country, some within the same family. Some of the children spelled it one way and other ones spelled it another way. It may be confusing, but it's the same family. I have seen our Howard family name spelled different ways also. John F. Howard and Jane Jackson is the parents of Julia and Rosannah. gene@trip.net
