Revolutionary fame, a resident of Lincoln county, N. C.
They had issue as follows: —

i. Maj. Daniel Peter Fornev, was born in Lincoln

educated at the University of Virginia, taking a course
in law, which profession he practiced a number of

ward.

37. iv. Barbara Ann Forney, b. 1826; m. Maj. Peyton Rowan.

38. V. Gen. John H. Forney, b. 1829; m. Septima Sexta

Rutledge.

* The traditions of this Forney family are the same as those of the
Conewago (Hanover) Pennsylvania family mentioned elsewhere. Both
point to French extraction, having fled from religious persecution in
France to Germany, after the revocation of the Edict of Nantes, 1685.
The}' remained in Germany long enough to become citizens of that
country before emigratii:g to America. There are no records to show a
relationship between the Conewago, Pa., and the Southern family, but
a relationship may have existed in a higher branch in the Fatherland.

vii. Col. George Hoke Forney, b. 1835. He was merchan-
dising until the breaking out of the war when he
entered the Confederate service in the company of his
brother, Daniel Peter, Jan., 1S61. In 1862 he was
major commanding the ist Confederate Battalion. In
1863 the 1st Confederate Battalion was increased in
number of companies, and he was promoted to lieu-
tenant colonel. " A rather unusual order was made by
the President in this, that the first battalion and another
named regiment was ordered from the army in Missis-
sippi to the army in Virginia to be placed in a brigade
commanded by Gen. Davis, a relative of the President."
A result of this transfer was that Col. Forney took part
in the battle of the Wilderness, and was killed there.
May 5, 1864. His battalion was composed of disbanded
regiments, in which there was many rough cases —
Mobile and New Orleans " wharfs " — still he held them
under complete control through the love they bore him.

Lutheran and German Reformed, were from time to time con-
firmed by the Episcopal Bishops, of Alabama. For quite a
number of years the}' were without a minister and a proper
building; finally the families built St. Euke's Church and
John D. Hoke became Sunday School superintendent and lay
reader. The services were gone through with regularity,
though the attendance was very small. The church by out-
siders was known as "Hoke's Church." A cruciform tablet
has been placed in the wall of the church bearing the follow-
ing inscription, "In memory of John D. Hoke, the founder
