Fortner, Dugger/Duggar, Gist--I am trying to find information on the Fortner and Gist families that were in and around Franklin Co. AL. during the 1850's to 1900 time span.  My grandfather was Lige Marion Fortner, he married Alma Jane Dugger/Duggar.  He was born in either Franklin or Marion Co. AL. His parents were Marshall Fortner and Fannie Gist.  They were married in one of these counties.  Marshall was born in 1847 and was 29 years older than Fannie, it is very probable that he had been married before.  Thanks ahead for any info, Phyllis.  I can be contacted at PJack_1@charter.net    ^02-04
