This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Fordney, Darnielle, Darnolt Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/RMB.2ACE/443.1.1.1 Message Board Post: I have always felt there was a connection with Peter and Sidney Fordney to Jackson and Louisa Fordney, but unable to find any evidence. Have you been able to uncover that connection? Jackson was born in Maryland, Louisa Darnielle born in Kentuckey; However, their children listed in the 1880 census were listed as born in Pennsylvania. I have researched my husband's family and we were fortunate to have some original documents. I have Louisa Darnielle Fordney's Widow's Affadavit applying for pension from Jackson Fordney's Civil War service. Filed 28 October 1926, Scotland Co Missouri. Validates the marriage as having taken place 21 Oct 1852. I have a scanned version if you are interested.
