Bev, I'll toss out the same question to you as I did with Clarke. Do you know of any photographs of Barton Fortney or Emily Squires? To answer your question, my records show your husband's greatgrandfather as Vernor Peter Pell Fortney. By the way, there is an international Fortineux Family Reunion in Canada in August. The Fortneys of Preston Co., WV are descended from Jonas Fortineux. I will send you an invitation to the Jonas Fortineux website.
