Elias Fort, I - Children of Elias Fort Sr and Phyllis Champion

I am thinking they are all correct but is there anything other than anecdotal or conjecture?
This Elizabeth is a shell-- no dates and no husband/children.
George looks good and I have been adding info/references

Oh, beautiful! Thank you, Dan Cornett. I will follow up, cautiously.

I am trying to find the link between several families that are mentioned together in historical records/families/community.

Next stop Champion but Fort has many same names in different generations. I found a SAR app today and the genealogy was just atrocious but after looking at these different profiles and records more recently, I realize who they meant and this is why just one more reason why Geni is my fave place to work on genealogy.

I have been trying to work out the kinks in some of lines on my personal tree at Ancestry but the collaboration and feedback from fellow researchers and most especially you curators here is priceless. I will probably renew my subscription at MyHeritage to be able to attach smart matches but I wish they had records and actual sources.

I am logged off the desktop computer now and will check again tomorrow.

I found a few unconnected Forts. And I found a Fort that married a Fort and they are showing as seventh cousins so I am thinking maybe someone is still missing.

Grammar. Oops.

George looks pretty good as a child of this couple.

His children look certain and sourced. I have a question about daughter Phyllis [R. Simms] [R. Williams] [P. Fiveash],
I see her marriages for Fiveash and Symes but not Williams.so I think the Note from her Wikitree may be incorrect

Phillis Fiveash Symes

Elias is my 10th Great Grandfather...

Elias and Phyllis, daughter of Edward and Elizabeth Champion, are also my line. The book 'A Family Called Fort' is an excellent source for information on the Fort Family. Also, Eliza Duckwood took an employer to court for reneging on payment for services rendered. Payment in tobacco. She must have been somewhat independent and fearless for the time period!

Living Gwin do you have a link or any other info so one can locate this book?
Thank you.
Nice to meet you and Melissa May Turner as well

I think that was simple enough lol
Sometimes just a title is all we need but knowing it exists is half the battle :)

I have the book. I bought it online several years ago through a genealogy book company, Higginson Book Company, www.higginsonbooks.com. Do not know if this company still exists. Try it and see what you find. The book is large and was expensive. Hope this helps and let me know if I can help further.

So is the book now online or still need to buy print book?

Living Gwin I am unable to see inside the book at this link

but there may be other ways of viewing it

Do not know of a read online source for this book. Sorry. Google books would have been my guess. At the time I purchased the book it was not available for reading online.

No worries.
Is there a duplicate for "your" Elias in the Geni tree?
Others can help merge if you would like

Some sources say Elizabeth (Eliza) Duckwood and Elizabeth Jordan are the same people. I know there was an Eliza Duckwood married to George Fort when she took an employer to court for wages owed because G. Fort was her husband at that time according to the court record. Anyone sharing any information about Elizabeth Duckwood and her line will be greatly appreciated!
Thank you........

The Richard Jordan who was supposedly the father of this Elizabeth Fort (Jordan) would have been 11 at the time of her birth.

Surely there is something wrong with this lineage as it stands?

Named in her father's Will of 24Sep 1695 as Elizabeth Fort. Her husband John Fort was Witness.

Elizabeth Fort is the only one of Richard's children who has a birth date on her profile.

"A Family called Fort" by Fort and Jones page 84

Dates get iffy in certain timeframes.
I tweaked Elizabeth's birth year looking at her marriage date and birth of first child and I corrected her parents' birth year to reflect their curated profiles curator note at the header.
