I too am a descendant of Pleasant Fortune. His daughter Mary born ~1815 was my 3rd greatgrandmother. She married Alfred B. Owens 9/16/1844 in Rutherford Co., NC, and later moved to Union Co., SC. She died in 1862 and is buried at El Bethel Baptist in Cherokee Co., SC. Their son A. Judson Owens [b1852 in SC, d1915, buried at Rosemont Cemetery in Union Co., SC] married Mary Fowler---my 2nd greatgrandparents; their son Thomas Owens [b.1887 in Union Co., SC, d 1918; buried at Rosemont Cemetery also] married Carrie Lattimore--they were my greatgrandparents. Their daughter, Grace [b1909 in SC] is my grandmother---still living! She married Ray B. Wesson, Sr., who is deceased. Would love to share more info on the Fortune line.
