I am interested in the Fortune and Gray surname. I have Amanda Cates that married a male Fortune. She had a daughter Mittie Doris Gilton who married Thomas Jackson Gray November 18, 1896 in Lee co Ms.
Amanda was born August 1844 according to 1900 census. She married John Gilton in March 13 1866 in McNairy county Tn. John was married to my ggggrmother Lucinda Jane Page first and then married Amanda Fortune in 1856. Amanda is buried in Itawamba co Ms. Would love to connect to your line.
I have a photo of her somewhere here.
Let me know when the birthday is and maybe I can arrange a trip there. Need to go to the old courthouse there in Tishomingo maybe I can do both.
