While researching a fourth great-grandfather, I saw a name in the 1820 Hamilton County Census: George Fordigal. Over the years, census takers often mis-heard and misspelled the names of people they are surveying. I submit to my Facebook Friends. Could George have said "Fothergill" and the census take wrote "Fordigal"? What if George was from England and had a pronounced accent? My third great grandfather was William Harvey Fothergill William Harvey Fothergill.
