I wonder why she waited so long to apply? There is a Peter and Sarah Fordney buried at Indian Creek which we strongly believe are Andrew Jackson's parents. I have never been able to make any connection for Steve Elliott yet though, although I keep him in mind when I'm doing research. Not many people researching the Fordney name. Becky
